ROLAND FOLSE, Texas Gamma
Record recognition for activities.
on the baseball team two years. He has taken part
in all the intramural sings, and has assisted in art
work for numerous parties. In 1952 Roly attended
the 'I>A9 Convention in French Lick.
Roland's hobby is doing shop work. He says, "I
like to get away from it all!"
He is the youngest of three brothers who have
graduated from Southwestern University. One joined
KA and the other, Parker Folse, is a member of
Texas Gamma.
AS a Spring project 35 members of Iowa Beta
distributed literature and took contributions
in the nation-wide cancer drive, Saturday, April 3.
Our task was primarily to distribute literature
pertaining to the 1954 Cancer Crusade to seven
hundred married student housing units and to collect
contributions. A total of $125 was accepted by
the Phis.
Tom Kerf, a junior from Iowa City, was instrumental
in organizing the project after recognizing
the opportunity that was available.
The brothers seemed to enjoy participating in
this worthwhile project. There were individual competitions
to see who could collect the most, and
George Mariner and Dick Pederson were high, each
collecting $9.50.
In another project fifteen pledges offered their
services to clean the International Student Center as
a part of their pre-initiation program. The Phikeias
spent Saturday, March 13, cleaning furniture, waxing
floors, cleaning the basement, and washing
windows at the Center. M. L. Huit, counselor to
men, sent a very fine letter, congratulating the
chapter on the project.
Interested Alumni Aid
California Alpha
By H. M. KENNEDY, California Alpha
Reporter
nt ALIFORNIA ALPHA has had the extreme good
^ fortune of having active and interested alumni
who have many times gone out of their way to help
the chapter. Never has it been more evident than
this past year. The Alumni House Corporation installed
sinks and an electric dishwasher which extend
the length of the kitchen. Along with this,
they installed a new cupboard, a new butcher's
table, and many shelves. They are at present planting
new bushes and trimming the hedges. On the
inside they have done the needed replastering, had
the furniture re-upholstered, and the rugs cleaned.
No single alumnus has done more for California
Alpha than the late Brother William O. Morgan,
one of the founders of the chapter. We were deeply
grieved at his passing just as Phis throughout the
nation were. But now a new benefactor has arisen—
Mrs. William O. Morgan—who kindly and without
thought of reward replaced our old showers with
beautiful new two-tone green tiled ones.
California Alpha wishes to express deepest thanks
to the Alumni group of California Alpha. A special
"thank you" goes to Mrs. William O. Morgan who
also receives our wishes for continued happiness.
