| Transcript | SOCIAL FOLK MUSIC SOCIETY: Charles Fisher, Mike Rickard, Dru Lodge, Sandra Finch, Bob Byars, Lee Want, Dale Webber. Folk Music Society Workshops in guitar and banjo playing and instruction in singing various types of songs were instrumental in the success of the Folk Music Festival. The event was sponsored by the Folk Music Society of the University of Houston. Other activities in this event included a concert of folk stars. In an effort to further the knowledge of folk music and folklore on the campus, this organization held informal gatherings of all those interested in the field. Group discussions of the various origins of songs and the exchange of lyrics assisted in the growing popularity of folk music on campus. Organization of Arab Students "Shammout," an exhibit of Arabian culture at Sacred Heart Dominican College furthered the principle aim of the organization of Arab Students. The goal of OAS is to promote good relations and stronger ties between Arab students and Americans through a clear presentation of Arabian culture, its people, and its problems.
