No, I have no objection to helping people out. I work for a volunteer 
service committee. I keep a first aid kit in my car. My objection is this-
TECH is making money on these programs, right? The least they could do 
is provide the people with halfway decent directions. I have no objection 
to helping a few people who get lost on the roads. I DO mind it when 
TECH basically expects me to be an unpaid tourgide. Do you know how hard
it is to give directions for someone in front of CoC to get to the ULC?
Go North, make a left, past two stop signs, make a right at 6th 
street at the 3-way intersection while heading directly South, go
to the end of the block, turn right, and make the first left you can. 
It's at the left at the end of the block.

>And BTW, probably 99% of the people are looking for the tennis center.

I got one yesterday asking where the softball field is. I don't know 
where the softball field is. Did they mean the stadium? The astroturf?
The Burger Bowl?
