After 28 hours of no food, the group will go to McEwen Dining Hall to break their fast and to talk about their experiences. The fast has been sponsored by the Civinettes and the college religious life commit tee. Its purpose has been to educate and make clear the meaning of hunger to the college community and to raise money to help hungry people of the world to help themselves in the production and distribu tion of food. Twenty-five per cent of the money paid by sponsors of fasters will go to the Burling ton area meals-on-wheels pro gram. Last spring when the fast was observed, $1,615 was raised. Fasters are responsible for collecting money from their sponsors and paying it in to any member of the Civi nettes or the religious life com mittee. Howard Southerlaijd, head of food services, has offered to pay 50 cents per meal for each boarding student who has fasted. . . .So does Greek Week ’78. See page 3 for more.

Dr. David Crowe, of the history department and di rector of the program in England, announced the dates Monday night at a meeting of members of the January 1978 group and those interested in going next January.

Dean William Long, director of the 1978 study-tour, and Dr. Mary E. Priestley, professor of English who led the humanities group the last two years, are on the planning committee with Dr. Crowe. Several students of 1978 showed slides from the English lakes, from London, Bath, Paris, as well as interiors of Hampton Court Palace, Wind sor Castle, and other well- known places. The Elizabethan Banquet at Hatfield House, the hovercraft at Dover, and divergent experiences were talked about and applauded by the group meeting at the Priestley Fine Art Gallery. Attending the meeting were President and Mrs. Fred Young, Mrs. Brank Proffitt, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Baxter, Mr. Owen from Greensboro, Mrs. Fabian and Mrs. Della Scott of Elon College in adc'fiion to students and facul ty members Mrs. Betty Gerow and Mrs. Terre Cofield.
