          a letter written by USNB to 9,212 OSU students in 1988, promoting           
          a banking package.                                                          
               Petitioner printed and mailed materials written by USNB                
          promoting the affinity credit card twice in 1990.  One mailing              
          was to 66,432 OSU alumni and the other was to 6,955 OSU seniors.4           
          Petitioner spent $19,967 to print and mail solicitation materials           
          in 1990.  USNB reimbursed petitioner for $15,761 of that cost.              
          Petitioner spent $73 to print and mail solicitation materials in            
          1991.  USNB did not reimburse petitioner for any of that amount.            
               Petitioner was not obligated by the Agreement to print and             
          mail these materials but did so because it cost less than the               
          direct mail house USNB hired, USNB did not have enough in-house             
          printing and mailing capacity, and OSU's printing department was            
          available and convenient to the parties.  Both USNB and                     
          petitioner hoped to benefit from the mailings.                              
               Petitioner hired a professional writer to write one of these           
          letters.  Petitioner used an off-campus print shop three times to           
          help design letters.  After USNB gave brochures to petitioner,              
          the OSU printing department printed the letters, stuffed the                
          envelopes with letters and brochures, and mailed them.                      
          Petitioner's mailings were not as sophisticated as USNB's because           

               4 The parties stipulated that this mailing was in 1990.                
          Petitioner states on brief that it was in 1989.  Because there is           
          nothing in the record to indicate that the stipulation is                   
          incorrect, we accept the stipulated date.
