Kirk, president of Columbia university, announced tonight that the school would be closed again tomorrow to permit a continuation of discussions about the student sit-in at five university buildings. At a meeting this morning, the university's professors voted, 466 to 40, against giving amnesty to the demonstrators, in effect, approving an action yesterday by the Columbia board of trustees. Students Stand Fast But as the senior faculty members drew up their resolution, the students stood fast for amnesty and approved a resolution that said, in part: "Our goal is to create a functioning participatory democracy to replace the repressive rule of the administration and trustees of the university." Estimates put at 500 to 600 the number of students commanding four campus buildings and occupying the offices of the university president, Dr.

Grayson Kirk, in the fifth, Low Memorial library. Forty or 50 Negroes some not students occupied Hamilton hall, the major classroom building of the Ivy league university, whose enrollment is 27,500. Position of Students The protest led to a suspension of night classes three days last week and the suspension of the day session Friday. The university has stopped construction of a gymnasium in a Harlem park abutting the university, a concession to the protesters. The students contend the gym would deprive Negro youngsters of needed play space.

Another target has been Columbia's participation in the Institute for Defense Analysis, a military research project. The faculty resolution was, in effect, a stamp of approval for a board of trustees' decision yesterday against granting the demonstrators amnesty as a precondition to ending the sit in. The faculty resolution also pledged "effective continuing communication" with community residents. South China Sea KHE SSNHs Vice President Humphrey hits Bobby Kennedy's "no new Viet" slogan.

He was arraigned in Charleston on five warrants charging him with murder before Circuit Judge William J. Sunderland. Fuller was ordered held without bond pending a preliminary hearing Tuesday morning.

Sunderland said he would appoint a public defender to represent Fuller. Won't Discuss Motives Authorities declined to discuss possible motives for the slayings or tell whether the bodies were fully clad when found. However, Jess CaudiH, deputy coroner, said each victim had been shot only once in the head. Asked whether any had been beaten, he said, "Well, one of the girls was pretty bloody." However, Caudill declined to speculate on whether the girl had been beaten. Caudill said there was ''no sign of a struggle" and nothing to indicate that any of the victims sought to escape the death bullets.

He shuddered with anger recalling that his home-town paper in the deep south called his parents "Mr. and Mrs." only when referring to their hero son.

Has Integral Role For the ordinary Negro fighting man, Viet Nam means not only integration but also an; integral role in American life or at least this aspect of American life. BY THOMAS A.

Johnson is a Negro reporter who recently spent four months with Negro troops in Viet Nam, part of the time in combat with them. This is the first of three articles on the Negro as an administrator as well as a fighting man, what he thinks of integration in the armed forces, and of his hopes when he returns to the United States. never realized while fighting in past American wars. Fourteen weeks of interviews with black and white Americans serving here reveal that Viet Nam is like a speeded-up film of recent racial progress at home. But Viet Nam also demonstrates that the United States has not yet come close to solving its volatile racial problem.

Whv was the sergeant a "And that's just what's winning this battle," the Negro sergeant said. A white lance corporal agreed. "You're damn straight, Bro," he said. The Negro shorthand for "Soul Brother" seemed to slip out naturally. "That's just what's gonna win this war," Dailey spat.

"Integration!" Hasten Barrier Breaking With the integration of the armed forces in the late 1940s and early '50s, the military quickly outdistanced civilian efforts at breaking down color barriers. This has continued to a point where young Negro men flock to military service for the status, careers, and curity that many cannot find in civilian life. A junior infantry officer, who is white, commented: "Its an awful indictment of America that many young Negroes must go into the military for fulfillment, for Jt 6 Kenneth stands nearly half a mile from a country road.
