 University Calls in 1,000 PolicetoEndDemonstration



 As   Nearly   700  Are   Arrested  and   100   Injured;



 Yiolent   Solution   Follows   Failure  of   Negotiations

    In a brutal bloody show of strength from 2:30

  until  5:30 this morning, New York City police, at

  the request of the Columbia administration, eleared

  the five buildings held for the past week by student

  demonstrators.

     Almost seven hundred students and faculty were

  arrested and at least several hundred injured,

  some seriously,  in the action. A minimum of four

  faculty  members received severe  head wounds.

   The use of  poliee force followed failures  yester-

  day to  negotiate  a  settlement between the admin-

  istration and  the  demonstrators, The faculty ad'hoc

í  committee  placed a  fĩnal effort in seeking support

'  for their  proposals,  but neither the  admĩnistration

  nor the demonslrators had indicated fu!l accepiiince.

   A  spokesman  for  St. Luíce's Hospĩtal stated this

  morning that 713 persons were beiiig _ro:ilcdforwounds

  'received during  the police action. 'I'lii tiy-í'ivc-; ikooî.Il'

  were treated in an infirmiry setupin Philosophy Hall.

  A spokesman for Kníckerbocker Municipal Hospital

  estimãted that 25 people from Columbĩa were being

  treated there.

    The charges leveled againstmost ofthose arrested

  will be second or third degree criminal tretipassing

  though  it ís expected  that the políce will charge some

  persons with resisting arrest. Those simply aírested

  for trespassĩng will be allowed to go free without

  bail.  The adminístration also maintains  that it will

  prosecute the students involved.
