Things have changed quite a bit over the last thirty-four years. Clearly the most dramatic change during this time has been the rise in rent from 17% of the budget to 42% today. Interest payments on the renovation have taken over a large portion of our budget. While the ambitions were once to continue a string of years in the black, we and the present House Corporation have worked hard to put Zeta in the black for the first time in a few years. The undergraduates would like to thank those graduates who have sent in dues. Your help is deeply appreciated! Also, we would like to express our gratitude to Jack "Poohie" Deinlein,'82 whose long hours of service as House Corporation Treasurer have put Zeta back on a good financial footing.

Winter 1992 Graduate Literary Corner: Woody Wade,'78 has been hard at work writing and publishing a book entitled "P.S. Mv Bush Pig's Name is Boris". "This book consists 100% ofboreass letters which I sent to various institutions over the last couple ofyears along with the bonafide repliesI got in return. For example,!wrote the people who administer the GMAT exams and asked if!would be allowed to bring my horse with me to the testing room. I asked Procter and Gamble ifthey made a diaper for incontinent oldfolks called "Grampers". I wrote to the Purdue School ofAgriculture complaining that my hands andfeetfeltdry and discolored, and wondered ifI might somehow have come down with a case ofcorn blight. I enquired whether the makers ofOil of Clay have a specialformula for dogs. I wrote to Ted Kennedy to see whether he would be interested in making a speech to the World Association of Mathematicians (WAM!) on the subject of 'How Avogadro's Number has Helped Me in My Career.' And so on. Obviouslyfrom this meagersampling you can draw two conclusions: first, this book will never win the Nobel Prize for Literature, and second, my years at Beechwood with the ever finer, ever subtler boreassing skills acquired there, stood me in good stead in my burgeoning literary career. Infact, ifI were not a Zeta Fiji,I could never have put together anything remotely like "P.S.
