practically all of the rooms/buildings i spend a typical university day in are not
airconditioned and no lecture theatre has windows to let a cool breeze in; imagine 100 or
so bodies trying to concentrate in there?  i get lunch in airconditioning and thats pretty
much it. not trying to undermine your argument, but remember, you aren't martyrs; try to
keep sight of the bigger picture that just because we aren't on a train all day that we all
get to sit in a/c'ed offices all day.
