"That Harvard build low-income housing on this, the Treeland Site, in accordance with the demands of the Riverside Community.
"That Harvard provide a women's center to serve the needs of women of the Boston area.
"That Harvard give us full use of this building, with full facilities (heat, plumbing, electricity, etc.), until it is necessary to tear it down in order to break ground for the Riverside low-income housing."
The women have refused to enter into personal negotiations with Harvard, and will communicate only through press releases.
A rumor circulated yesterday afternoon that police were planning to surround and cordon off the building to prevent more supplies from entering and to force the occupants to leave. However, by 4 p. m.-the time of the anticipated maneuver-nothing had happened.
Robert Tonis, Chief of University Police, said at 12:30 this morning that no bust is imminent. He implied that Archibald Cox '34 will be issuing a statement today.
Cambridge Mayor Alfred E. Vellucci appeared at the door of the building yesterday afternoon and expressed his concern over the lack of heat inside. "Whether they were right or wrong in taking over the building the health and welfare of some people is at stake here," he said last night.
Dean Dunlop, Dean May, and Archibald Cox '34, Harvard's trouble-shooter, each said last night that they have been in informal consultation with other Faculty and Administration members regarding the seizure. None would make any statements or predictions.
Cox said, "There is no present intention of using police to evict people." He refused to say whether that eliminated the possibility of a cordon.
Meeting with Radcliffe students at Bertram Hall last night, Mary I. Bunting, president of Radcliffe, said that the issue of a women's center is "worth investigating. I'm sorry it had to start this way." Bunting said she offered the basement of Putnam House (the old financial aid building, located in the Radcliffe Yard) to RUS last September "for any activity," but RUS never took the initiative.
Radcliffe Women to Keep Mind and Body Together, a group of 10 women, yesterday drew up a petition of support for the occupation which received 830 signatures in the dining halls.
There will be a rally starting at noon on Tuesday at Holyoke Center supporting the women's action. The sympathizers will march to University Hall to present the signed petitions to Dean Dunlop.
