LEABER'S OCCUPY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING BYNINA RUBIN Student' protest is alive and well at SUNY, New Paltz where over 1, 000 students have supported the occupation of the college's 9-story admini­ stration building to dramatize their opposition to the school's growing academic conservatism. The occupation began Tuesday, March 26, following a mid-day rally on campus called by Student G9ve~entleaders and interested students. The rally focused on a list of nearly 30 demands, ranging from the reten­ tion of the college's ExperiPental Studies Program and the creation of a Womanis Studies major, to student participation in tenure and review oro­ cedures.
