Okay, maybe they don't have guards charging $1.50 enter and leave the campus, 
but they're making a whole lot in other ways. If TECH is going to be a 
business, fine.  Let it be a business. But I am not going to work for free
for a business. I don't demand to be paid for helping people, but I do
insist that reasonable steps be taken to ensure that help is not often 
needed. I don't think signs are unreasonable.

Yes, that's what ticks me! :-) They're basically exploiting peoples' good 
nature for their gain. I don't mind giving directions to someone once
in a while who honestly can't find their way. But at night I've gotten 
stopped 5 or 6 times- "Where is the theatre for the arts?" They really need 
some signs with arrows.

Which is barely marked, I might add! :-)

Yes, and until you posted this I had no idea there was such a softball 
field, and I've been here 3 years plus.
