DEAR EZRA,
WHY WAS THE FRATERNITY PSI UPSILON THROWN OFF CAMPUS ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO?

                                                    SIGNED, CURIOUS

Dear Curious,
According to Randy Stevens, Coordinator of Greek Life, Psi Upsilon was not actually thrown off campus by the University, but rather the Psi Upsilon National Organization removed their charter.  Psi Upsilon had various problems which led to this.  Their membership was dwindling, they were very destructive to their house (which the University owns), they had problems with alcohol abuse, and miscellaneous other "behavior problems".  But, as you may know, Psi Upsilon is now back on campus.  After about 4 years they petitioned for their charter, and, according to Randy, have been doing very well since that time. It's nice to know people can learn and recover from mistakes.

due;
an addition to your comments on pregnancy tests (SEP88, p.107):   Planned Parenthood offers pregnancy tests for only $5.00.  If you can't publish that because of Cornell Policy reasons, I'll understand, maybe... cheapskate

Dear Mr. Benny,
I'm sure other frugal folks would be glad to know about the cheaper pregnancy tests.  I'll be glad to post your letter.

Uncle Ezra
