Amplified Oklahoma: Recent Episodes
Oklahoma Oral History Research Program
Amplified Oklahoma shares voices from the OSU Library's oral history collections and examines a variety of topics related to Oklahoma history and culture. It is a production of the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program at the Oklahoma State University Library.
College pranks, traditions, and wild experiences in general are often formative for undergrads attending university. Here at Oklahoma State, that is no different. However, while some see these experiences as fun and light hearted, others may see them as dangerous, wrong, and outright illegal.
From stories about giving roommates way too much mail to being a firsthand witness of streaking nights on the strip, and even retellings of an infamous panty raid, this month we will be exploring pranks and traditions from an OSU perspective. Beyond enjoying the fun of the seemingly universal prank experience for college students, we will be examining how some college experiences blur the line between harmless fun and real harm, with different perspectives representing that tension.
Interviews featured in this episode include:
- Oral history interview with Ken Mitchell
- Oral history interview with Bill Dragoo
- Oral history interview with Bill Kosanke
- Oral history interview with Mary Jane Stanford
- Oral history interview with Joni Bomar

This month, we're exploring the "normal" everyday lives of people who persevered in Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl.
There are many ideas about what the Dust Bowl was like in popular culture. Black blizzards, starvation, and human displacement, all of these are true. But these ideas have commonly over sensationalized the human experience of the Dust Bowl. While it was one of the greatest ecological mistakes in American history, a lack of social history prevents us from understanding the way in which people endured and succeeded during that time. This month on Amplified Oklahoma, we’re exploring the everyday lives of people who persevered in Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl. We’ll be examining their ideas of normalcy through their memories of dust, farmwork, and food in an effort to better understand how their lives were impacted by the Dust Bowl. We’ll also hear from Dr. Mary Larson, Associate Dean at the OSU Edmon Low Library, as she discusses how time impacts the way people remember the Dust Bowl.

There have always been new students at Oklahoma State University who have felt this way as they try to navigate campus for the first time. Trying to make new friends and not stick out too much on campus are and always will be a little bit difficult. However, some experiences and traditions for freshmen have changed over the years, like the freshman beanie and Howdy Week, which really shaped the first year OSU experience for many people. This month on Amplified Oklahoma, we’re headed back to freshman year and looking at the good, the bad, the shared, and the unique experiences of freshmen at OSU. We’ll hear interview excerpts from the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program’s archives about the various realities of freshman year for many OSU alumni. Then, we’ll talk with Palvih Bhana, the assistant director of the office of New Student Orientation and Enrollment, about the office’s role in helping incoming freshmen prepare for their first year experiences.

Hitchhiking was a very popular practice for many years in the United States. During the Depression and early war years, many people hitchhiked because it was cheap and seen as patriotic. There was a resurgence of this popularity in the ‘60s and ‘70s among the free-thinking generation because of the freedom it offered those who wanted to travel. But these days, it seems like there are at least a million reasons why you shouldn’t get into a car with a stranger. However, you can ask just about any person who was an active traveler in the last century and they will tell you they hitchhiked at some point. Oklahoma State University and its students were no exception to this trend. Many alumni of Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, now OSU, used hitchhiking as a method of getting around. This month on Amplified Oklahoma, we’re hitching a ride back in time to look at the practice of hitchhiking through the eyes of some former students. We’ll hear interview excerpts from the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program’s archives from alumni who used to hitchhike to and from campus. Later, Steve Spradling, the director of OSU’s Parking and Transportation Services, joins us to talk about how students get around campus today and the role this department plays in the Stillwater community.

In the midst of the Great Depression, Oklahoma was hit with an intense environmental transformation known today as the Dust Bowl. A series of dust storms caused by risky agricultural practices and severe drought, the Dust Bowl impacted the lives of thousands living in the plains region. However, many questions about daily life in this time period still go unanswered. For example, how did people even keep the dust out of their homes? How were everyday tasks like laundry and food preparation adapted to withstand the intense conditions? In this episode, we’ll explore the overlooked impact of the Dust Bowl by listening to several interview excerpts from the Dust, Drought, and Dreams Gone Dry Oral History Project. Also, Dr. Anna Zeide from the Oklahoma State University Department of History joins us to provide insight on how everyday habits, particularly foodways, changed during this time.

In the 1960s and 70s, the Glass House Restaurant was a must-go-to attraction in Oklahoma. Known for its unique architecture, fantastic food, and even better service, the Glass House was the first restaurant to be built over a U.S. public highway. Attached to this arched building were two full-service gas stations for travelers on both sides of the road. This month on Amplified Oklahoma, we’re looking at the legacy of this iconic stop on Interstate 44 through interviews from the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program’s archives.

The Korean War is often referred to as the “Forgotten War” because it came so soon after World War II, involved fewer American troops, and was fought in a much smaller area. While 16 million Americans served in the Second World War, the Korean War included approximately one-third that many, and while World War II involved a worldwide theater, the Korean War was contained to the Korean Peninsula. This month on Amplified Oklahoma, we review the long-lasting effects the Korean War had on its soldiers, and consider today’s lessons learned from yesterday’s war. We’ll hear interview excerpts from Bill Gotcher and Gene Slocum from the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program’s archives, followed by a discussion with Dr. John Kinder from Oklahoma State University’s History Department to learn more about war’s effects on US culture and society.

Opened in 1884, Chilocco Indian School was one of the largest federally-funded boarding schools for Native American youth in the country. Located twenty miles north of Ponca City, Oklahoma, the school offered a half academic / half vocational curriculum, focused on assimilating Native students into the dominant culture. Like most boarding schools, Chilocco went through different phases of development, reflecting changes in the federal policy towards Native Americans. These changes were often prompted by the efforts of Native educators, community workers and activists, and shifting attitudes within the larger society. Throughout these shifts, however, the school’s status as a National Guard center as well as boarding school made it unique. This month on Amplified Oklahoma, we're focusing on military veterans who attended the school. We’ll hear interview excerpts with Wes Studi and Charles LeClair from the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program's archives.
