"I have a vivid image of the occupation of Lawrence Hall," Cox said, "We didn't take steps then and look what happened. It ended in a dangerous fire during which a brick wall fell on firemen."
It is obvious, however, that the personal safety of the occupants is not Harvard's only concern. "We can't have groups occupying a University building just because they want to use it," he said.
The women held a party in the building last night, inviting area women to join them. Tensions between lesbians and straight women became obvious during the evening.
Several straight women left after being repeatedly approached by lesbians during the dancing. One Radcliffe woman, upset by what she felt were aggressive advances, said, "I don't have anything against gay women. I would be equally offended if they were men on the make instead of women."
The women held several meetings during the day, but no specific policy was decided on in the event of a bust.
