I think you are getting something outta this whole deal.  I don't want to
start arguing about the long vs short term benefits, or get into specific
areas where I think Tech is benefiting.  Later you mention that you've
had to give directions to people for the Center for the Arts.  Haven't
you derived ANY benefit from having the Center on campus?  I've been to
several events there that I wouldn't have gone to otherwise.

Something else you mentioned in the need for more, and better signage.
I generally cringe at the idea of putting up lots of signs as I think
it detracts from the campus in general.  It would be nice if they
figured out what they wanted before throwing up signs all over the
place.  Actually, this sounds like the Campus Planning committee.  Try
sending e-mail to Jeremy Wilkening (gt0192g@prism.gatech.edu).
