Original Toronto Star caption: Bursting past the doors of the University of Toronto administration building; more than 500 students storm into Simcoe Hall yesterday; many of them to bed down overnight in the university senate chamber and several other rooms to back demands for full access to the university's new $43 million library; plus other demands. Last night the University acting-president John Sword issued a statement that appeared to meet most of the demands of students.
