  Students Favor Demonstrations

  Article from The Swarthmore Phoenix published on April 12, 1964 covering the attendance and arrest of fourteen Swarthmore students at a kneel-in integration demonstration in Cambridge, Maryland, as well as its campus reception. The campus opinions featured include those in favor and opposition to the "kneel-ins," however the article cites a poll of the student body reflecting majority support. The critical comments about the demonstration range from questioning the motives, methods, and projected outcome of the demonstration and those participating. The author observes a lack of awareness amongst the student body, especially regarding current affairs outside of the United States. This is attributed to a lack of information communicated by members of the Swarthmore Political Action Club (SPAC) and the rest of the student body.
