Mr. Abrams, who argued the case for Columbia, said the university would drop the contempt proceedings against the students if the demonstrators complied with the latest court ruling. But if they continued their protest, he said, Columbia intended to file new contempt complaints and would also continue prosecution of the original charges. It was not clear, however, whether Columbia was willing to extend its offer if the students did continue the demonstration through Thursday. ''If the students don't abide by the decision and at the same time say they will end their demonstration Thursday, we'll have to make a new decision,'' he said. '' I don't have a definitive response.'' Other Protests Going On

Students pitched tents at Syracuse University yesterday to begin a protest of South Africa's apartheid, while sit- ins continued at Rutgers and Princeton in New Jersey, at Cornell in New York, and at the University of California at Berkeley and at Santa Cruz. The about 100 students demonstrating at Syracuse said they would camp out before the Administration Building for a week, but they did not hinder access to the building. A university spokesman, Daniel Forbush, said Syracuse has had a policy opposing apartheid since the late 1970's, and had given up holdings in five corporations that violated the policy. At Cornell, security officers carried protesting students - 217 of them - from the administration building for the third straight school day. At the San Francisco Federal Building, several dozen people marched and picketed in an anti-apartheid protest, and 20 arrests were reported.
