Past Tense—Televised history revisited at PSU IN 1960, three Portland State College history professors – Charles Le Guin, Basil Dmytryshyn, and Charles White – taught a Western Civilization course on TV, the first in Oregon, over KOAP-TV, Portland’s public broadcasting channel. A black and white photo of the three taken during a class session appeared in Portland State: A History in Pictures, published by RAPS in 2009. In August 2019, 59 years later, the three retired professors reunited in Salem at the home of Basil Dmytryshyn, striking a similar pose. —Dawn White —1960 photograph from Oregon Historical Society Files —2019 photograph by Dawn White 6 PAST TENSE features glimpses into Portland State’s history.
