This semester, the new cabinet decided to take advantage of the opportunity by having all five officers travel to Lexington on January 12. The six hour drive was occupied with a discussion of the upcoming semester and was filled with apprehension of what we were to find. At 8:30 the following morning the cabinet arrived at 343 Waller Avenue where we were greeted by Billy Martin and Buddy Cote. Together, we discussed the operations of the International, and what effect its policies have upon this Letter from the President Dear Graduate Brothers: Salutations! My name is Chris Winkle and i will serve as Xi chapter. The cabinet was later able to tour the offices and met with each of the 22 staff members, helping to put into perspective the enormity of the operations. Following a morning of informative discussion, the officers, Billy, and Deuteron President for the next two semesters. Buddy adjourned for lunch at the Hyatt, exchanging stories My agenda is most likely no different from those of past presidents; scholarship must be improved; service to the and enjoying a sumptuous meal. community must be maintained; house morale must remain at a high pitch; graduate relations must be fostered. Headquarter's building. The cabinet then returned to a free afternoon, taking the time to browse through the chapter's archives, and to examine the many display cases and artifacts which represent the heritage of Phi Gamma Delta. The goals are the same, but rarely are these goals attained. A lackadaisical attitude often envelopes the fraternity and the high hopes of the first few weeks of the semester fall prey to the twin evils of apathy and boredom. This will not happen during my term as president. The spring semester has started well. The cabinet journeyed to Lexington. Ky. to learn about the inner workings of Phi Gamma Delta. The individuals who run International Headquarters are a formidable lot; there is no need to worry about the future of Phi Gamma Delta. Xi Deuteron will sponsor two social service projects this After lunch we travelled to the proposed site of the new As the afternoon drew to a close, we retired to the board room with Buddy in order to discuss our impressions of the day. We talked of the chapter's past mistakes and planned for future successes. Our visit to headquarters had ended, and we returned to our hotel in awe of the tradition of which we are all a part. We returned the following day to Cleveland filled with a new sense of brotherhood which has already begun to semester. Our first project deals with the Fairmount Theatre pervade Xi Deuteron. Never has our fraternal spirit been greater, and we all hope that future cabinets will not hesitate for the Deaf. We have literally offered our "ears" to this to travel to Lexington. We encourage any graduate brother organization. The brothers will be answering phones for the who should find himself near Lexington to take the time to visit Phi Gamma Delta's Headquarters in order to recall their theatre's telethon over a four-week period. The second project, in keeping with Fiji tradition, is the unique experience in college. Heart Run.

From the Editor's Desk Brothers, As my days here at Xi Deuteron wane, the memories that I have had become more and more precious to me. I realize that the friendships I have made here are to be treasured. When we all go our separate ways it will be very difficult to keep in touch with each other and with the Fraternity. The friendship and brotherhood that was fostered in college should never be forgotten. Therefore, the theme of this publication is "Friendship, the sweetest influence". I encourage all brothers from every the Rhine, Brother Lathe returned to thestatesand served as graduate class of Xi Deuteron to rekindle the flames of friendship that burned brightly during their undergraduate the first Field Secretary in the post-war era (1946-47).

An Ongoing Basis Brothers, We hope you have enjoyed "The Pot Pourri" these last two semesters. We apologize for our shortcomings in previous years. "The Potpourri" will be published twice a year on a continuing basis. The only setback is purely financial. "The Potpourri" costs the undergraduate chapter slightly over $800 to publish. Last fall a Xi Deuteron membership directory was sent to you. This directory was issued through an agreement with a private company. Over a year ago, the Chapter entered into this agreement whereby this company would issue a directory through the use of graduate donations. Donations in excess of $1,500 were sent back to the Chapter. We feel that with the resources of International Headquarters and Housecorporation we can publish an annual directory at a cost close to $800. The proceeds from the directory will help fund the two issues of the Potpourri for that year. Fraternally, oerae!
