Brandeis Negotiations Endure Barricaded Students
At Brandeis University in Waltham Massachusetts three score black students remain barricaded in Ford Hall after nine days of failed negotiations as 150 to 200 white students stage a sympathy strike. About 30 whites hunger strike and marshal protests before the president’s office while a library incident sees five black girls haul 2000 books from the reserve shelves and take a library employee hostage. The initial demand for an autonomous African studies department is softened to early definition while President Abram suspends the barricaded blacks for the term and a class boycott fails to gain traction.
