The b u s i n e s s administration
school was also closed because of
apparent concern over violence
and class disruptions, a Univer-

The Economics Bldg., which
closed down on Thursday, is
scheduled to remain shut until
"conditions are conducive to learn-;

vey Brazer, chairman of the eco-
nomics department.
In the social work school, Roy

have been down more than 50 per

A spokesman for the Institute

others "were just plain scared."

"I sincerely believe the state-

do not want disruption, destruc-

stop, by whatever means neces-

Hays followed his condemna-
tion with plans for meeting the
BAM demand. He suggested that
a commission be set up to study

"Many people just don't realize
the extent of the oppression
women face," Gail Rubin added.
To substantiate this, Miss Rubin
referred to a document from the
U.S. Department of Commerce
stating that white women earn
$2.600 less than white men and
$1,500 less than non-white men,
while black women earn $1,200
less than white women.

started two years ago. "it was
sort of spontaneous,'' Miss Rubin
says.
Most of them had initially been
involved in some radical group.
"We became dissatisfied with
our role in these groups, wanting
to be more active-to do more

Miss Ruben added.

statement' read last night.
While the enrollment of 10 per
cent by 1973-74 constitutes the
major BAM demand, there are 11
other demands to be worked out
i.
in the negotiations. These include
demands for supportive services
for the newly enrolled black stu-
dents such as tutoring, counseling,
and financial aid.
A black cutural center is an-
other of the demands on the list.
The dispute over the enrollment
commitment arose out of varying
interpretations of the difference
between the 7 per cent goal fund-
ed by Athe Regents, and the 10
per cent goal to which they had
pled-zed themselves to fund.
Fleming addressed this misun-
derstanding in his letter to BAM,
saying it was unintended. In his
statement last night, he said the
