The campus was quiet through the night after National Guardsmen. moved in Tuesday at the request of Governor Louis B. Nunn. MEETS WITH EDUCATORS: Nixon pledges to cease hostile remarks on campus protesters (Continued from Page 1) The University is keeping uni- formed, unarmed guards in the building "to maintain security of the property," a University spokesman said. He added that "the building occupancy will be continually evaluated." Army officers moved arms out of the building after the base- ment room in which they were stored was broken into. Univer- sity Chief of Security Rolland Gainsley declined to say who made the decision to move the arms. The action reversed an earlier decision announced by Director of Business Operations James Brinkerhoff that the arms, mostly old dismantled shotguns, would not be moved, but paddlocked. The takeover was a peaceful one, and some 15 ROTC officers exchanged smiles and jokes with the students as they moved out and the protesters moved in. A mood of happiness prevaded as the students worked, armed with paintbrushes and posters, and smiles. "This was a place to teach people how to kill," one student said, "now it's to teach them how to live." ROTC notices came off the walls, were stored away, and paper murals for do-it-yourself art were put up. A banner pro- claiming the building as "the People's Liberated Center" was strung along the front of the building. Peace symbols, and anti-war s 1 o g a n s appeared throughout the building. One student scribbled on a wall: To all ROTC students : At the U of Miami this could never have happened. If you teach the principles of war why did you yourselves forget security? Bad move, ROTC, bad move. A room was designated as the "military defense office," and military pamphlets were placed neatly in rows on tables for browsers. Offices were also as- signed to the Gay Liberation Front and the high school strike committee. Most of the ROTC officials left the building shortly after the students moved in. A few stayed around to watch. "We're just the last of the old guard," one lingering marine officer said with a smile. "I give," he said later when leaving the building. "I've got to meet my wife. I know she's just going bananas." Another said he might stay for the dinner. "What are you having?" he asked. Police were conspiculously ab- sent, though there were a few plainclothesmen and University Security Officials there. Mem- bers of SACUA dropped in for a brief survey of the place. Krasny and Brinkerhoff talked to stu- dents about preventing destruc- tion of the property and had the fire exits cleared. "Our main concern is the safety of the people," Brinkerhoff said. Students were also working outside of the building, leaf- letting neighborhoods and shop- ping centers informing people about the child care center. Leafletters on the diag contin- ued to encourage students to strike. The building filled at 6 p.m. as students, families, and a few faculty and administrators wait- ed in line to move through the the dinning room, pausing to draw on the murals along the way. The crowd swelled through- out the evening, at one point reaching upwards of 500. A mass meeting after dinner lasted long into the night. Stu- dents conflicted on the extent to which they should defend their claim to the building and what role seizure of the building should play in their protest ef- forts. It was finally decided that ROTC officers would be allowed to use their offices today, though new plans were made to deal with the possibility of conflict with the officers. It was as- sumed that the decision on how to deal with the holding of classes in the building would be made later. Students also differed on the effectiveness of the strike and the desireability of continuing it. The group first decided to end the strike and concentrate their efforts on organizing com- munity protest. The decision was later changed to continuing the strike as an act of solidarity with other universities, but with the emphasis on community or- ganizing. The issue remained undecided late last night. The grouphdid reaffirm rules made earlier to prevent destruc- tion of ROTC property. People continued to f 1 o w throughout the building while the meeting was in session, and a storeroom in the basement was broken in- to, reportedly by high school students. About 15 boxes of C- rations were taken and distri- buted, along with a few uni- forms. The security committee then moved to guard the doors of storerooms. Newsreel films were scheduled to be shown after the meeting. Featured was an ROTC case study, "The Case of the Un- washed Seaman." A group of 30-40 students planned to spend the night in the building. Security officers planned to leave the building unlocked all evening. They us- ually lock it at midnight. Yesterday's incidents marked the second time North Hall has been occupied by protesters. Last September, about 50 stu- dents occupied the ROTC build- ing for about four hours as part of a movement aimed at con- vincing the administration to break the University's ties with the military training program. In that incident, as well as in the LSA Bldg. sit-in three days later, President Fleming agreed to use police to remove the dem- onstrators. Askedwhy he did not take similar action in the current North Hall- occupation, Flem- ing said that while he received reports of destruction being done by participants in the LSA Bldg. sit-in, the occupation of North Hall has thus far been "peace- ful."

WASHINGTON (A')-Straight- talking university officials said I they won President Nixon's as- surance yesterday that his admin- istration would cease hostile criti- cism of campus happenings and personalities. A degelation representing the Association of American Univer- sities reported this commitment after the President sought and re- ceived their candid assesment of the "distress, frustration and anger among students and faculty across the nation." The educators afterwards as-, sured the nation's academic com- munity "we were heard, and we made clear the truth as we believe it to be," when "we spoke force-I fully of the deep and widening ap- prehensions on campuses every- where and the reasons for them." Speaking for the group, Har- vard University President Nathan' Pusey told newsmen the educators departed "with the distinct im-j presion that Nixon has a deep un- derstanding and sympathy with the problems we face." White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler later confirmed the educators' understanding, say- ing "nothing this administration ever said or did would make the situation more difficult." As to the early opportunity to test the President's assurances. Ziegler said it referred to "upcom- ing remarks," but he doubted Nix- on had in mind the presidential news conference tonight or a ser- ies of weekend speeches planned by Vice President Spiro T. Agnew. The university officials and the White House press aide agreed, however, that in talking to Nixon, the educators were particularly critical of Agnew's rhetoric in dis- cussing campus events and per- sonalities. Ziegler, when asked if Nixon was instructing the vice president to. tone down his future remarks. re-! plied: "I'm not going to respond to that. I am not in a position to do so."

Sen. Young cashes wth Ohio Guard WASHINGTON (Al) - Sen. Stephen Young (D-Oh1io) traded' charges of "skunk" and "senile old liar" with the head of the Ohio National Guard yesterday in an angery exchange over the fatal! shooting of four Kent State Uni- versity students.j "If he would call me a senile old liar to my face, I'd knock his false teeth down his gullet," said the 81-year-old Young. Adj. Gen. Sylvester T. Del Corso called Young those names after the senator told colleagues thatj "trigger-happy" National Guards-, nen opened fire on the students after one soldier's rifle was dis- charged accidentally. Young, in a later Senate speech, Statement scored 84 blacks! (Continued from Page 1) chooses to- suppress non-violent' protest, it tempts those who are working for sensible and orderly change to resort to means that are1 more disruptive. The Interim Rules weretpassed by the Regents April 17. to Pro- hibit certain types of disruptive actions by students and spell out the possible sanctions and the: disciplinary procedures. The prohibited actions include: --Use of f o r c e or violence against any member or guest of the University community, -Interference by force, threat, or duress with the freedom of movement of any' guest of the; University community; -Disruption or interruption of an authorized University activity; -Disruption or unauthorized in- terruption of a class; ---Continued occupation of a University facility after being or- dered to leave by the president or his aent. nnd+ made public a letter from a Viet- nam veteran who witnessed the shooting Monday and branded it as murder. Jon T. Oplinger of Akron, Ohio, a Kent student, wrote, "The guardsmen, very deliberately and it seemed under orders, took aim and fired a well-controlled volley toward the crowd of students. ". . . Had I witnessed this event in Vietnam, I would have regarded it as murder, and I cannot help but do so now," the letter said. Del Corso, in a statement in Columbus, Ohio, labeled Young's assertion about the guardsmen as unfounded, inflammatory and hearsay. He said the Ohio senator is a "senile old liar." Young said Del Corso is "a 2- by-4 politician." and added, "My father -told me never get into a spraying contest with a skunk." VIOLENCE IN BUFFALO: 136 schools close as campus strikes grow (continued from Page 1) ation, the killings at Kent and re- lated issues. Wayne State Univer-{ sity remained closed, as Wash- tenaw Community College also canceled today's classes. Kentucky Gov. Louie B. Nunn said he was committing "a suf- ficient number" of Guardsmen and state police to the University of Kentucky campus "for as long as, this situation prevails." Police, backed up by Guardsmen, broke up a demonstration there yester- day and made several arrests. in- cluding the president of the stu- *dent body. A student strike information center set up at Brandeis Univer- sity in Waltham, Mass., said it counted 3'19 schools with student strikes going. A similar organiza- tion at Antioch College in Colum- bia, Md., said 348 campuses had strikes. Brewster said he would lead a delegation of Yale trustees, teach- ers and students to Washington. D.C., to talk with the Yale grad- uates who are members of Con- gress about how to stop the war." Many campuses in the country had no demonstrations and some individuals a n d organizations spoke out against the antiwar ac- tivi t y. President S. I. Hayakawa of San Francisco State College said some students were being "led by an- archists who use current emotions as a cheap excuse to destroy buildings, institutions and lives." A young Republican organiza- tion in Massachusetts and one in Vermont issued statements back- ing Nixon's policies and deploring campus protest activities. Protests took a variety forms. At Salem, Mass., State College it was a scholarship fund set up, in memory of the four dead stu- dents. At the University of Tulsa it was a day-long teach-in that started with the lowering of the American flag to half-staff. At Iowa State University it was an all night campout on +he park-. ing lot outside the Ames SelectiveI Service headquarters. Six-hundred students at Haver- ford. Pa.. College went to Wash- ington, D.C., for a one-day ex- pression of concern over Cam- bodia. At the University of Ne- vada, Las Vegas, students sat peacefully in classroom doorways.1 ! ,f. . " !: s..
