Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2003 10:55 pmYou might want to check some old issues of The Daily Campus at the Fondren Library to get an idea of what it was like at SMU during the Vietnam era. I grew up just a few blocks north of the campus from 1963-1977. I recall some demonstrations around Dallas - specifically at Lee Park along Turtle Creek at Lemmon Ave. - that were always, for the most part, peaceful. I think the Dallas PD had to use tear gas once to disperse a crowd. However, on the SMU campus I cannot recall any sit-ins or protests or demonstrations.
