Columbia Opens Doors Amid Chaos, Boycotts NEW YORK (AP)—Besieged Columbia University reopened its doors Monday for the first time in ten days amid chaos and controversy, and a two cen tury-old tradition of formal classroom teaching apparently ended for the rest of the se mester. Columbia College, the liberal arts school and the university’s oldest and largest unit, decided Sunday to end formal classes for the rest of the semester, al most four weeks ahead of its official end, May 29. Some other units of the uni versity were expected to follow Students Elect Dean President GUNNISON, Colo. W) — “Since he has all the power we thought he might as well have the job,” said one youth after Western State College students elected Olaf Kjoness, dean of students, as president of the student body. The students mounted a write in campaign after complaining they have little real power in college decision-making. Kjon ess, who has been dean of stu dents for more than 20 years, collected 87 per cent of the vote in balloting by about 1,000 of the school’s 2,500 students. Student candidates withdrew from the election Sunday. Kjo ness said he expects the Stu dent Council to declare the elec tion null and void.

The confusion was heightened by rebel students who renewed their two-week old protest by calling for a boycott of classes. Minor scuffling broke cut at several spots this morning as staff members and unsympath etic students walked through picket lines set up to enforce the boycott. The students originally made two demands: That the univer sity stop building a gymnasium on park land, and that it refuse to allow use of the school for a government “defense analy sis” program. The gym construction was halted, but that apparent victory for the rebel students has ob viously not ended their protest. The rebels now claim to have the support op 5,000 students for their boycott. They issued a bulletin today listing more than 50 “liberation” classes in such subjects as "avant-garde litera ture,” “imperialism.” “corporate liberalism” and “Columbia and the warfare state.” In a report ordered by Mayor John V. Lindsay, the city police department said its men faced large-scale violence from the demonstrators last week. “Police were punched, bitten and kicked with many attempts made to kick policemen in the groin,” the report said. "A pat tern was seen in the use of fe males to bite and kick the po licemen. “In some buildings, demon strators hurled furniture, bot tles and miscellaneous objects at the police.” The report said the university grossly underestimated the num bers of the sit-ins and '“the ex tent of the involvement of the faculty in sympathy with the students.” The report's figure of non student arrests was at variance with a higher ratio given by Dr. Grayson Kirk, president of Columbia. Kirk defended Sunday his summoning of police to break up the sit-in and said he will not resign under fire.

WAR AND CONSCIENCE IN AMERICA By EDWARD LEROY LONG, JR. $1.65, paperbound, now at your bookstore THE WESTMINSTER PRESS* Witherspoon Building, Philadelphia, Pa, 19107 Djourney of a thousand miles begins with a single step. He took that first step and he took the step first, when he went alone into New Hampshire. But he was not entirely alone. Three thousand student volunteers, an actor and a poet were with him. Together they went into the country side to talk to the people. The students talked; the people listened. And then in New England they cast the votes that were heard around the world. As students we made it happen. We altered America's course. In Wisconsin, ten thousand of us came to work. A new politics of participation was born. An unchangeable mind was changed. But our task is incomplete, our journey unfinished. Thousands of volunteers are needed during the coming weeks to do the telephoning and canvassing, talk ing and walking, that must be done to win again in Indiana on May 7, and in Nebraska, Oregon and California after that. It is hard work. Sometimes it is tedious and exhausting. But it is the work that must be done to insure our future and that of America. If your help, your commitment, was im portant before, it is vital now. We have promises to keep, and miles to go before we sleep. Students for McCarthy Call your local group now. Paid Political Ad.
