university rather than call police."

EL, university president, said the university could not permit students to share equally in the hiring of faculty members.

Each college or school faculty, under the statutes of the university, is the ruling body for the determination of academic policies within its jurisdiction, L said.

There are 8,600 students enrolled in colleges, graduate schools, and professional schools at the university.

Vow Orderly Protest

The protesters formed an ad hoc steering committee of 40 members to conduct the sit-in

The leaders said the protest would be orderly. They pledged there would be no attempt to open files or disturb other records in the building.

They predicted, however, that the university would close soon after the sit-in halted official business.

Expect School Warning

Protest leaders said they expected a warning to vacate the building within an hour after the sit-in begins. They said the university undoubtedly would give them 30 minutes to leave or face a summons to appear before the university's disciplinary committee.

Leaders said they would ignore both the warning and the summons. Hearings before the disciplinary committee normally are held 1 to 3 days after a summons is served.

Protesters said they realize an extended sit-in would result in suspension for students involved. They vowed to continue the demonstration until the university agrees to their demands.
