AMHIERT, Mass. — Minority students drew up a contract yesterday to end the eight-day takeover of a Hampshire College building that was held to protest racism at the private liberal arts school.

Students drew up the formal contract yesterday, and college officials were expected to sign it today. Specifics of the contract were not released.
Dean of Faculty Penina Glazer said the administration agreed to meet some of the demands, including the hiring of a full-time adviser for the campus group that occupied the building. Students of Under-represented Cultures.

The school also agreed to allow a professor to serve part-time as dean of multicultural affairs and to try to win grants to increase the number of library books about the Third World, she said.
The college was founded in 1965 as an alternative to the traditional education.
About 100 of Hampshire's 1,100 students are minorities.
