A Scene From the Lecture Halls
Excuse me, Professor? I'm sorry, but could you please repeat everything you just said? We can't hear you over the noise.
The noise, in this case, being the sawing, banging, grinding, and dragging of steel pipes beneath the floor in the center of Room 105.
The solution seems simple: just e-mail the Assistant Dean of Students, who is in contact with the construction workers and has promised to make them 'pipe down' as needed. Except that in fact it is no solution at all: AirBears isn't working any better than the paper towel dispensers in the men's rooms, the outlets in Booth, or the line at Cafe Zeb.

The lack of Airbears made that particular class particularly unbearable. Seriously, how is this school still in the dark ages?

It seems that this, along with many other issues, will be discussed (but probably not resolved) during DE's Town Hall tomorrow.
I, however, believe that this sentence is meant to do exactly the opposite of what it says: "In order to address as many issues as possible, I'll be compiling questions for [DE]. Please send your questions to me by 1:30pm on Wednesday."
I'm pretty cynical, though...
But seriously, isn't the idea of a town hall that the person running it (i.e., the 'town administrator' or 'executive') take any question that any audience member (i.e., 'the town') throw at it?
Those towel dispensers are the bane of my existence. Those and terrorism.
