Published On By SETH M. Columbia University dedicated a new gymnasium Saturday-on-campus, several blocks from the original Morningside Park site that helped prompt students' occupation of five buildings and their violent eviction by New York police in April 1968.
But the new gym inevitably recalled the demonstrations in which several hundred Columbia students-joined by many others after the police raid-demanded that the gym not be built on park land and that community residents not be limited to separate facilities in it.
At the dedication Saturday, Columbia president William J. McGill called the new gym "a symbol of the university's commitment to the city," and said Mor- ningside residents would be able to use it once Columbia's physical education program requirements had been met.
