Miami Triad at Miami

"LJIGHLIGHTING the Miami University social
scene, the weekend of April lo, was the Miami
Triad. With B 9 n and S X, Ohio Alpha of * A 9
made the weekend memorable. This year, we three
Alpha chapters decided to make the weekend as big
a celebration as possible to remind each other of
our common bond.
On Friday night, B 9 n had an open house for
the Triad. It was an informal affair where we met
Beta and Sig dates. During the evening a chorus
composed of ten singers from each house serenaded
the girls with a medley of the songs of the three
Alphas. The serenade was very impressive and provided
a fine start for the Triad events.
Saturday aftemoon, the Triad members were entertained
by The Four Freshmen. They were entertaining
while performing their nationally popular
recordings. During the concert, we had an open
house for the Triad members and invited guests
in the chapter house. This was a very interesting
open house since many University officials honored
the Alphas by dropping in for punch. Also after
the concert, The Four Freshmen stopped at the
house.
SCENES OF MIAMI TRIAD
[436]
Climaxing the weekend's celebration was the
Triad Formal. It was held at Withrow Court. We
danced to the music of the Page Cavanaugh Trio
and the Campus Owls. During the dance, the Sigs
had an open house for the Triad members. This
completed a series of open houses by each member
of the Triad.
In addition to providing a wonderful time for the
Alpha chapters, the weekend was successful in all
ways, and the social prestige of the Triad fratemities
grew even more.
We were also glad to have many of our alums
back for the weekend. They all expressed pleasure
with the improvement in the Triad weekend. We
are quite proud and hope that next year we can
have as good a celebration.
Twice Named to- Who's Who
By DAVE ROBERTSON, Texas Gamma Reporter
TT is an honor to be included in Who's Who in
American Universities and Colleges one year, but
to be included two years is an honor that comes to
very few. One who has won that honor is Roland
Folse, a senior pre-medical student from Beaumoni,
Texas.
This is easy to understand when one takes a look
at his various activities during four years at Southwestern.
During his freshman year Roly was a member of
the Student Senate, Pre-med Club, S.C.A., M.S.M.,
won the 4> A 9 high pledge award with a 94.9 average,
and was given the Alpha Chi Freshman Scholarship
Prize.
His second year he was again a member of the
Student Senate, the Pre-med Club, and the S.C.A.
He was initiated into the S.U. Science Society, was
Evangelism Chairman for the M.S.M., was student
trustee for the J. D. West Loan Fund, pledgemaster
of A 9, and was a member of the Honor Council.
Roly's junior year found him president of the
Honor Council and the M.S.M., vice-president of
the Student Association and Science Society, pledgemaster
of 4>A9, vice-president of Blue Key, president
of the Texas Academy of Science (Collegiate),
elected to the American Association for Advancement
of Science, on the intramural all star football
and basketball teams", organic lab instructor, member
of Alpha Chi National Scholarship Society, and
listed in Who's Who.
This year Roland has been president of Blue Key
and Alpha Chi, a member of the Honor Council,
Science Society, M.S.M., S.C.A., organic lab instructor,
and again listed in Who's Who.
After graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of
Science degree in chemistry and biology, Roland
will attend Johns Hopkins University Medical
School in Baltimore, where he will receive his M.D.
degree.
Roland has been a great asset to Texas Gamma
during his four years. He has participated on the
basketball and football teams all four years and
