on the ledge around the building.



  Members of the Majority Coali-

have also eriticiied the faculty

members for their role as guards

son  Kirk's Low office a few min-

utes before, attempted to re-eirter

Low, but were prevented from do-

ing so by faculty members,

  Sini'i- that incident, therelation-

ships between the faculty and the

demo.-istrators,  and  between the

[aculty and the Majorlty Coalltlon,

have apparently worsened.

  At 2 a.m. this morning, the Ad

off.clal policy statomentonpatrol-

of the Steering Committee of the

Ad Hoc I-'aculty Group."



  The official slatement outĩines

a complex procedure for the pas-

"if an indivldual reachos the ledge

  Yesterday's  blockade  of Lov.

created certaindiíficulties for the

faculty guards.  At 5:30 p.m., the

bloekaders, who insisted that they

were "comn__tted.onon-vio.ence,'

moved over the hedge around Low

and  took  positions on the lawn,

  Facutty  raerabers  asked  the

counter-demonstrators to "please

culty members dĩd not press their

request, índinstead withdrewfroin.
