"I have faith that Neil Rudenstine cares about people, and I hope that this will be his legacy," Galluccio said.

Keep On Keepin' On

The action outside Mass. Hall stabilized yesterday, as supporters camped out in "tent city" and professors attempted to teach students occupying the building.

Brett Flehinger, a History lecturer, tried to enter Mass. Hall during the noon rally yesterday, but was stopped by Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) officers. The officers did allow him to pass packets of information to the protesters, including copies of Martin Luther King Jr.'s oft-cited "Letter From a Birmingham Jail" articulating the reasoning behind non-violent civil disobedience.

He then offered an impromptu lecture on "how non-violent protest works."

"It changes the mind of everyone involved," he said.

And later yesterday afternoon, Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures Bradley S. Epps held section outside the windows of Mass. Hall, while HUPD officers looked on, for the benefit of the students occupying the building.

As he lectured, four students performed a string quartet in the sun outside the steps of Mass. Hall in a demonstration of support for the students inside.

The occupation of the administrative building continues to prove troublesome for the residents and staff of Mass. Hall, however.

While neither Rudenstine nor Provost Harvey V. Fineberg '67 came to their Mass. Hall offices today, staff members did report to work despite the continued occupation.

Rudenstine's staff assistant Beverly B. Sullivan sent a letter yesterday addressed to the PSLM members occupying Mass. Hall to detail her complaints with the continuing sit-in.

She said that for students who champion the cause of workers, PSLM members have been rather "disrespectful" to the staff on the first floor of Mass. Hall.

"Not only do you occupy the building and interfere with our daily work, you have piled your belongings in front of our office and in the hallways to make our access difficult," the letter reads. "You have stood or sat together to block our paths. You have filmed us as we move about trying to do our jobs."
