Columbia president George Rupp vowed that the sit-in would not prove effective. "We don't develop academic curricula through negotiations, but through the regular process that has served Columbia well," he said.
"I think [the sit-in] caught the attention of students much more so than posters ever could about the interests that various student [groups] have tried to raise," said Lisa D. Graustein '97, PBHA cabinet coordinator.
Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 said yesterday be will not attend Thursday's rally by the Phillips Brooks House Association, Inc. (PBHA) or today's unauthorized sit-in at University Hall because of prior commitments.
"I hope they've made arrangements with the Dean of Students office," Lewis said in reference to the sit-in, which he had not heard about.
...Today's sit-in, which is not sanctioned by PBHA, will be held to protest Lewis' choice last month of Judith H. Kidd as assistant dean of public service. The protesters, who will gag themselves and tie their hands, said that Lewis choice of Kidd ignored student input.
