Historical note
In 2008, Dr. Gary Emanuel, Associate Professor in Educational Leadership established an oral history project focused on the memories of graduates and faculty of Arizona State College/Northern Arizona University. The initial target was individuals involved in campus life from 1960-1969, although the project has expanded to include faculty and students during the years 1934-1979.
Scope and Content
Oral history interviews were conducted during the summer semester, beginning in 2008 and continuing to present (2015). Narrators discuss many of the following topics: Snow Carnival, ice sculptures, The Chain Gang, Freshman initiation, special dances and concerts, sporting events, student demonstrations, Greek life, hiking club, and dorm living. Many interviews also discuss key external events, such as the Kennedy assassination and the Vietnam war. Most interviews were transferred to special collections on compact disc (CD) or digital video disc (DVD). Some were received from the NAU Electronic Learning Center on an external hard drive.
Beginning in 2010, digital photographs of many of the narrators were taken at the time of the interviews. The quality of the images vary depending on the camera used to capture the photograph.

His class work here was in business. He grew up in Winslow and had 2 years in Eastern Arizona College with emphasis in music, but transferred here on an athletic scholarship to play football. He described the campus as small, but with a significant percentage of African American students, most of which were athletes, adding that while everyone got along well, the students did mix for events and remained unto themselves. He said students were all about the same age, but men on the G. I. Bill and returned LDS missionaries tended to be older. He worked for Santa Fe Railroad for money in the summers and came to Flagstaff to visit a friend who was attending school and living in a dorm and just never left. He lived on campus and had memories of the Chain Gang. Mel related a story of the three African American members of the football squad being called into President Walkup's office following the announcement the team would be going to the bowl game. He said when they walked into the office, there was Walkup, Max Spilsbury and assistant coach. They were told they had done nothing wrong, but the administration wanted to tell them of the extreme racism they would experience in the South and if they decided not to go because of it, no one would hold anything against them. The three went. The team took the bus to Winslow to catch a plane. Special accommodations were made for the team eating together, with screens being up so restaurant patrons could not see the white members of the team eating with the black. Hannah said one Caucasian member of the made they all very nervous when he broke "Jim Crow Laws" by drinking from a "Blacks Only" water fountain, he said they wanted to get out of there as fast as they could because they figured they were all going to hung on the spot. In St. Petersburg, Hannah and his African American teammates and the one African American player from the opposing team stayed at a private residence and took meals there. They were taken by taxis to and from practice. Hannah became very active in politics serving on the Flagstaff City Council, and continued his political activism to some extent in the Phoenix area.

Air Force following the Korean War. His last rank in the Air Force was Staff Sergeant. When he began his freshman year, he was 4 years older than anyone else in the freshman class. He played football and baseball while attending. His most influential instructors were Dr. Charles Meister, a retired Army officer that gave Pilon great motivation that really helped him get his education, and Dr. Edward Walker, a renowned sociologist. The campus that Chuck lived on was the small north campus. He lived in Bury Hall one year and hated it because it reminded him of military barracks, his sophomore year he was in the Phi Kappa Theta House and the third year in the stone cottages in the middle of campus with his new wife. He remembered that when the student population reached 1,000 the president had a huge cake made and had a reception with the cake and punch for all the students. The student body was predominately Caucasian, but the student body president was Charlie Williams, an African American. He made it clear that there was not a great movement to accept non-white students. Treats were going to a movie at the Orpheum or going into town for a hamburger and a milkshake, just to get away from campus food. A Chain Gang story involved a short term, first year freshman roommate who had been hosed down by the Chain Gang members. When the group entered their room Pilon "pulled rank", told them he had been an Air Force Staff Sergeant and to leave or he would remove them.
