Abstract
When the last Newsletter was published in 1976 (No.4), it was assumed that it would be followed by another In 4 or 5 years. And indeed, considerable effort has been expended on the production of No.5. However, for various very good reasons No.5, although close to publication several times, aborted several times. Now largely because this is the centennial year of our Department, we feel that we can wait no longer. Because of that fact, the format of this Newsletter will be slightly different from those in the past. We have the "news" that you furnished about yourselves 5 or 6 years ago but because it is now so old and because we are ashamed to ask for an update without showing some good faith on our part, No.5 Is planned to be published in two parts. In this, Part One, we will try to give you a thumbnail sketch of what has happened to us in the past 12 years. Toward the end of Part One you will find a questionnaire which we would greatly appreciate having returned to us promptly. The returns will form the basis for Part Two (which we hope to have in your hands by the end of this year) and allow us to find out what you have been up to as well as allowing you to transmit that information to each other. We owe a debt of gratitude to Dave Keith, who was Newsletter Chair at the time of his departure to assume the role of Team Leader of the MIAC project in Morocco. Even though Dave didn't quite get a Newsletter together, he left a good base and made our job easier. The years have been kind to us even though they have brought considerable change. We trust that the same is true with all of you. So, with these simple greetings I begin Part One of Entomology Newsletter No.5. George R. Manglitz Chair, Department Newsletter Committee
