Well, to place this in perspective, when I was a student at UMass, WMUA always was off 
the air during school vacations.  There usually wasn't anyone left on campus to operate the 
station.  We were on during the summer for the first time in 1966. 

As for why small things get eliminated, it's because big things have powerful advocates.  
They cut the things they can most easily cut.
