Sit-in Approved At B.U. Meeting

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Before voting, they heard Gene Jones, a Boston Black Panther leader, urge support for a Panther demonstration this Saturday at the JFK building protesting the killings of two Panther leaders Wednesday night in Chicago.

The final vote approved a motion combining action for the demands with promotion of the Pantrer rally. The motion carried by a margin of about two to one.
