August 2014 Foresters in Action Voices from the Past Transcripts from Oregon State College Student Radio, 1938-1940 Edited by Bryan Bernart and Caryn M. Davis Abstract Bernart, Bryan, and Caryn M. Davis, editors. 2014. Foresters in Action: Voices from the Past; Transcripts from Oregon State College Student Radio, 1938-1940. College of Forestry, Oregon State University, Corvallis. 362 p. Foresters in Action was a radio program created and performed by students of the OSC School of Forestry. It was broadcast by KOAC radio station in Corvallis from 1936 until ca. 1943. The program offered snapshots of rural life in the Pacific Northwest, and sometimes beyond, told through a collegiate lens. This book is a collection of 38 radio scripts from Foresters in Action, spanning the time period from Winter Term 1938 through Spring Term 1940. The collection was donated to the OSU College of Forestry by the family of Arthur Harold Sasser ('41), an alumnus of the OSC Forestry School who wrote for and performed in Foresters in Action. The scripts have been transcribed, lightly edited, and digitized at the College for this collection. Each episode contains one or more lengthy anecdotes about the experiences of students, forest rangers, lookouts, fictitious characters, and historical figures in the great outdoors, either narrated or re-enacted via flashbacks, and tied together with good-natured banter, musical performances, and jokes. Stories of working, hunting, fishing, logging, and fighting fires are interspersed with discussions on the best ways to manage public and private lands, balance ecological and commercial interests, and provide outreach on natural resources to rural residents. The scripts are connected by two constant themes—conservation and cooperation—as well as by the evident camaraderie among the OSC Forestry students of this era, their pride in their chosen profession, and their optimism about the future. This collection of radio scripts for Foresters in Action offers an educational, colorful, engaging, and still entertaining glimpse of college humor and Oregon culture 75 years ago.

Davis In October of 1936, a few members of the Forestry Club at Oregon Agricultural College took to the airwaves for the first time to entertain and educate listeners with a new program of "fun and music from the woods." This "bull fest," featuring tall tales, skits, music, philosophical discussions, and stories drawn from forestry students' experiences was broadcast live from the historic KOAC radio station under the direction of James Morris. It was an immediate hit. Every Thursday evening for the next seven years, the strains of "Alouette," sung by the Foresters Chorus, would signal the beginning of Foresters in Action. By 1937, the small cast of characters had grown to more than fifteen, and Foresters in Action had attracted interest from other radio stations from Spokane to San Francisco. That OSC "fernhoppers" had jumped calk-boots first into this new communications

The thesis explores 'myth-revision' in selected works of Fantasy fiction. Myth- revision is defined as the retelling of traditional legends, folk-tales and other familiar stories in such as way as to change the story's implied ideology. (For example, Angela Carter's 'The Company of Wolves' revises 'Red Riding Hood' into a feminist tale of female sexuality and empowerment.) Myth-revision, the thesis argues, has become a significant trend in Fantasy fiction in the last three decades, and is notable in the works of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman.
