Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam records, 1966-1973.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/173692818

Records of a national coalition (1966-1973) formed to coordinate opposition to U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam among college and high school students. Other files concern the G.I. Press Service, an arm of SMC which organized anti-war sentiment in the military. These files include materials on Allen Myers and Bob Wilkinson, who edited the service's underground newspaper, and on G.I. activist Howard Petrick. Also of interest are files on the 1968 attempt to exclude Dawson and Stapleton because of their membership in Young Socialists of America, and financial correspondence of Ron Wolin concerning cocktail parties, art auctions, and other "radical chic" fund-raising activities. Activity files consist of fliers, printed materials, and clippings about various demonstrations, strikes, and mass actions sponsored by Student Mobe either alone or in conjunction with other coalitions such as the National and New Mobilization Committees to End the War in Vietnam and the National Peace Action coalition. For several of the national policy-making student conventions held by SMC there are copies of resolutions submitted for debate, although there are few proceedings. Photographs include images of meetings, a portrait of an anti-war soldier, posters by the group on walls, and demonstrations in Bloomington, Ind., and in Tucson, Ariz.
