Hi Jackie,
I know that when I went there it was a bastion of liberal thinking amidst
a rather conservative neighborhood. This was during the Vietnam War and
I remember students protesting the war being allowed time to make brief
statements to classes about why they opposed the war.
But I graduated in '73 and, aside from an annual donation, did not keep
up with what was going on with respect to their curriculum. I'll see if
I can find out about the sociology department.
I know the restaurant you are talking about. I think it's the old Lemp
mansion. Lemp was a prominent brewery in early St. Louis. And we did
have a lot of ghosts in our city so the haunted houses are no surprise.
:)
