New York: Students occupying Columbia University’s Low Memorial Library climb in and out the windows of the office of Dr. Grayson Kirk, president of the university, during sit-in demonstration 4/24. Students also barricaded themselves in another campus building, Hamilton hall, where three university officials were being held by the demonstrators. Among the main targets of the protest is the construction of Columbia gymnasium in a Harlem park and the school’s involvement in research for the Defense Department.
