Sit-in at Washington University ends By Kavita Kumar Knight Ridder Tribune Students pumped fists in the air, gave tearful speeches and looked forward to a shower as their 19-day sit-in at Washington University came to an end on Friday. An agreement to end the stalemate between students and the administration was sealed with handshakes between Chancellor Mark Wrighton and students. "We've just signed a deal!" protester Danielle Christmas yelled out the window of the admissions office to supporters who had gathered on the lawn. Her announcement brought cheers. Students did not get the "living wage" for contract workers they had been hoping for, but they did win quite a bit. The university promised to: Commit $500,000 toward wages and benefits this coming year, with an additional $500,000'the next year. Try to improve health care benefits.

Provide workers with an independent person to whom they can make grievances. Establish committees of students, fac-. ulty members and administrators who will review periodically the selection and renewal of contractors and look at finding more resources for workers. The university said it respects the rights of workers to unionize, but would not get involved in labor relations between companies and their employers. Students had been holding out this week for a stronger commitment to collective bargaining for workers. "The battle is won, but we haven't won the war yet," said Ojiugo Uzoma, a senior and one of the protest organizers. Still, she called the end a victory: "We didn't come in here expecting to get everything we asked for." It had been a trying week for protesters as well as administrators, one rife with communication breakdowns. By midweek, the student newspaper and student government had called for the See Solutions page 20 4 5 10 14 lit 12 13 16 17 ir 20 •Toastmasters International club meeting; noon; Wattis Building, Room 111; free. students to end their sit-in, saying it had gone on too long.
