Abstract
We write down a general action principle for spinning strings in (2+1) -dimensional space-time without introducing Grassmann variables. The a ction is written solely in terms of coordinates taking values in the 2 +1 Poincare group, and it has the usual string symmetries; i.e., it is invariant under (a) diffeomorphisms of the world sheet and (b) Poinca re transformations.
