I was wondering whether this might not explain the delay in getting hot water in the morning in some of the halls like Alumni. I think it's fine for WND to use the pipes if they have to, but I think they should use some insulator or something so we would have more hot water, after all, that's what the steam pipes are really for — not radio programs. Also; how does a fellow get one of these jobs on the weekends to travel for WND. I heard that a fellow was up in Connecticut last Sunday and although I don't live in Connecticut I wouldn't mind traveling up there to help run a broad­ cast from some theater. I would prefer to go up to Canada or somewhere if WND is going to broad­ cast from there. Well, thank you very much for listening to my complaint.
