From April 13-15, 1970 there was a nationwide fast for peace.  This protested human destruction and suffering.  There was an article in the April 10, 1970 Bona Venture encouraging St. Bonaventure students to take part in this fast.  The fast was an opportunity to share, in a small way, the brutal suffering and deprivation which the victims of the war were enduring.  All the money which was saved by fasting and not buying food was donated to the Peace Fast Fund.

    Another event that the students took part in was a march on Washington.  Fifty to seventy-five St. Bonaventure students went to Washington on November 15, 1969. Ralph Damico, the unoffical head of the movement, said it would be, "a complete protest against the American policies as they stand, especially in Vietnam" (BV Nov. 1969).  Participating in these movements showed how some St. Bonaventure students were very involved and similar to other students across the nation even though it was a conservative campus.
