Due to a production error, an unedited version of "Columbia Ends Protest" ran in yesterday's Crimson. The article should have reported the following.

*The conclusion of the Columbia University blockade came three days after a New York State Supreme Court judge called the protect--a "safety hazard" and ordered the students to unlock the doors of Hamilton Hall.

Monday's order ended weeks of wrangling over the legality of the blockade. Since the protest began on April 4, Supreme Court judges handed down a series of rulings which could not be interpreted as clearly favoring either Columbia or the protesters.

*University spokesman Judith Leynse said the protest has had no effect on university investment policy. Officials have maintained over the course of the protest that they would not hand to prevent, promising only a continuing review on the school's investment policies.

*While Columbia officials have indicated they will drop a variety of pending criminal charges against the protesters, some 85 students have received notice of the university's intent to consider internal disciplinary action against them.
