Bok Ends Faculty Meeting After Law Students Enter

More than 100 students entered yesterday's Law Faculty meeting almost spontaneously and about 40 of them refused to leave after repeated requests. Derck C. Bok, dean of the Law School, adjourned the meeting after a little more than an hour.

The faculty had planned to review the Administrative Board's disciplinary actions against five black law students involved in the Organization for Black Unity (OBU) building seizures last semester.

As Bok was calling the meeting to order, Pilkington entered the room, followed by Lafayette Ketton '73, his advisor, and several other students. He was stopped momentarily at the door and Bok said that the people with him could come in.

'60 or 70'

Pilkington turned around and said, "He says the people with me can come in." As more people entered the room, Bok asked Pilkington how many people were with him and he replied, "I don't know-about 60 or 70." Meanwhile, the students outside heard someone shout that they could enter the room and the whole group came in.

Pilkington gave the first speech in which he charged, "The sham disciplinary proceedings are used to preserve racism and exploitation, to in-????????
