Abstract:

Records of the Students for a Libertarian Society (SLS) and of its local chapters in Minneapolis, Minnesota (1979-1980), Madison, Wisconsin (1981-1984), and Evanston, Illinois (1983-1984) created and collected by an active member, David Beito. SLS is a group formed in April, 1979, to move college students toward the Libertarian Party movement, with which it is associated. Included are local and national SLS administrative records, correspondence, convention records, flyers, opinion papers, literature, and clippings primarily relating to anti-draft and anti-tax activities and to a proposed anti-pornography ordinance in Madison. Also present is some material on related anti-draft organizations in Minnesota with whom the SLS collaborated and some personal papers of Beito including campaign literature from his unsuccessful 1982 congressional campaign.
