University ignores ultimatum. FSM holds rally that attracts thousands, after which approximately one thousand persons move into Sproul Hall. More than eight hundred students remain for the night. The arrest of about 814 students continues for twelve hours, during which time graduate students picket University buildings in protest of police action. Simultaneously, faculty members meet to consider the crisis, to protest the regents' policy of November 20 and the governor's summoning police, and to establish an Academic Senate Committee to which students could appeal regarding the penalties imposed by the administration for political action.
Faculty members raise bail for the arrested students.
During the day a strike is called and many classes are cancelled. On Sunday, Professor Robert A. Scalapino, chairman of the Council meets with President Kerr to work out agreement. Two hundred faculty members meet to consider the resolutions made at impromptu faculty meeting of December 3. The meeting is adjourned, and Mario Savio attempts to make an announcement, but is removed by police. He is then released and allowed to speak.
