Re: Vietnam Collections
David Horowitz at Portland State University's
History Dept. is also well versed in the Vietnam era and he may be able to
point you in the right direction regarding repositories of info on this
topic. PSU was also a site of student unrest. While TA-ing for his class I
ran a film on the protests that took place on the Park Blocks at PSU.

Subject: Re: Vietnam Collections
Lydia Fish, in the Anthropology Dept. at
State University College at
Buffalo (New York) is collecting Vietnam War
Folk Songs and related oral
histories. Last Friday she was interviewed
on NPR (4/28/00) about the
project.
Her institution was misidentified as Buffalo
State University in the
piece, resulting in a few phone calls here
to University at Buffalo (UB).
UB was the site of "student unrest" related
to the Vietnam War back to
1965. By Spring of 1970, the protests
escalated to include police presence
on campus with outbreaks of violence that
resulted in what the media
termed a "police assault" on the Student
Union. Twenty-two students and
five police officers ended up in the
infirmary with injuries. Later that
Spring, more protests included a
demonstration by 45 faculty members
(resulting in their arrests). By May the
Cambodian incursion led to more
demonstrations and confrontations with
shots reported fired in on a
campus heavily surrounded by a residential
community.
The records related to the "student unrest"
period are oft requested
documents by researchers and the media.
