Caption: While a group of about 30 black students took over and occupied the administration building at Boston College, two unidentified representatives of the black group had meeting with Rev. Francis V. Shea (left) and B.C. President Rev. W. Seavey Joyce (background) at Fr. Shea's home on the campus. White students, hearing of the meeting, gathered outside the home and did step aside at the request of Fr. Shea when the meeting was concluded. The invaders demanded that at least 10 percent of next year's enrollment at the college be back.
