processed faster. Petitioner contacted USNB to request that
credit limits higher than the standard be set for certain alumni.
In about 14 letters sent to individual alumni, Wirth suggested
that the alumnus contact him or petitioner if the alumnus needed
further assistance.
3. Involvement of Petitioner's Executive Director in the
Affinity Credit Card Program
Wirth met with USNB and a representative from the AAUO once
each year to review the performance of the affinity credit card
program. These meetings lasted about 1� to 2 hours. Petitioner
allocated 15 percent of Wirth's salary to the affinity credit
card program in 1988 and 1989, and none for the years in issue.
Petitioner did not allocate any of its secretary's salary to the
affinity credit card program.
On January 14, 1991, Wirth encouraged each member of
petitioner's board of directors to get 10 new cardholders. Also
on January 14, 1991, Wirth urged board members to look for
opportunities to give out applications for the affinity credit
card.

received $2,028 in 1988, $27,446 in 1990, and $14,105 in 1991
