Cliffe 'Freedom Fast' Nets $338 for SNCC

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Over 620 students abstained from dinner while non-fasters ate box-suppers in the dormitory living rooms. Debate about the manner in which the demonstration was organized continued until the last moment, with one faster withdrawing on reasons of principle at 6:15 p.m. Thursday.
