Canadian students used a strip-tease girl to raise funds for assistance to needy universities.

"The Economics of Over-Developed Areas" was the subject of a talk by strip-tease artiste Libby Jones at a "teach-in" organised recently at the University of Toronto.

The "teach-in" was one of a number of stunts organised by the World University Service Committee to raise funds to help students in developing countries.

After her talk, Miss Jones was auctioned oft to the highest bidder. She was won by a student syndicate which paid 107 dollars.

They then drew lots to decide who should show Miss Jones around the Toronto campus, take her to a restaurant for dinner, escort her back to the Victory Theatre (where she is currently appearing) and then help her don her sequins, etc., for her evening performance.

Miss Jones (the only stripper in the business with a BA University of Washington) Urged the co-eds in her audience to interpret their future BAs as "bare anatomy" as she had done and to take to the boards; and make up to 250 dollars a week.

"If you are planning to be a stripper," she said. "Do it now, while men and materials are available." With standards of morality slipping so rapidly, she added, men will soon be able "to get all this at home."
