"The original question was brought be

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
Brothers of Omega,
Life at the Fiji house of Columbia has
been rather hectic since elections were
held in the early part of March. Aside
from the Playboy Party, which was an
overwhelming success, all activity has
centered on mid-term examinations, held
just prior to the Spring vacation.
We have, at last, been granted a short
period of rest by the "great white father"
of Columbia, who dictates the schedule
by which we guide our lives. Alan Foust,
treasurer of Omega, and I took advantage
of the recess to mix business with pleas
ure on a trip to Washington, D. C., head
quarters of Phi Gamma Delta. Much of
our sojourn was spent at 1757 N Street,
N.W., but we were not deprived of en
joying the many sight-seeing attractions
and the gay night life of this great city.
The primary purpose of our trip was
to strengthen the fraternal bonds between
Omega and the national organization, and
consequently to become more deeply
aware of the policies of the fraternity
as a whole, discovering areas where we
at Omega and the brothers representing
the national organization can be of def
inite mutual assistance.
The national headquarters of Phi Gam
ma Delta is a place every loyal Fiji
should visit. The expanse of the opera
tions directed from this apex of activity
is eye-opening and extremely interesting
to observe. We were warmly welcomed
by Bill Zerman, executive secretary of
Phi Gamma Delta; Mike Shipley, assist
ant to the executive secretary; and Tom
Gilleland, tield secretary. Following lunch
at the University Club, we were also
