...reason why the UAs are not too helpful, I think, is that they are students just like you and me. They need a job, see an ad seeking help in Room B13, sign up, get the job, receive some training (what the training involves I do not know), and get placed at the help window. You walk up to them thinking: Aha, here is someone I can trust. But oftentimes you are bound to be disappointed...
...architect and professor, Robert Venturi, returned to Yale with his two dozen student acolytes after a remarkable 10-day expedition to Las Vegas, where they stayed at the Stardust. His influential 1972 book, Learning from Las Vegas, immediately made Venturi famous as a heretical high-culture proponent for the ad hoc, populist design of the Strip -- the giant neon signs, the kitschy architectural allusions to ancient Rome and the Old West, any zany kind of skin-deep picturesqueness.

Our staff ended up running the ad. Again, I believe it was the right decision; but in retrospect, I'm not sure we made it for the right reasons. I recall arguing at the time that "they sent us the money, so we'll print the ad." I now realize it's a lot more complicated than that...
