Lesley 'Slave Auction' Offers Girls for Cash

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Lesley College is offering its student body for sale at a "slave auction." The auction will begin at 10:30 a.m. this Saturday, April 27, in Lesley's Cambridge Amphitheater.

Approximately 70 Lesley freshmen will go for as low as one dollar per slave; each additional bid must be at least 50 cents. The profits will go to the Lesley Freshman Project Fund.

Notices announcing the event appeared in the Harvard freshman dorms and in the Freshman Union yesterday. The sale, however, is open to anyone with a college I.D.

Every girl sold is required to be her owner's slave for a day, but the notice gave no indication of what she must do or how long she must do it.
