This couldn't possibly be right, unless my conception of what "on location"
means is completely bogus.  What about all the obviously "outdoor" scenes,
such as the one this refers to, (the "college" from *Operation -- Ammihilate!")
the amusement planet from *Shore Leave*, or the indian village from *Paradise
Syndrome*?  Pretty big soundstage to include those fir trees and lakes!

I do remember reading somewhere that they avoided location stuff whenever
possible for just the economic reasons mentioned;  the best possible 
situation was an episode which took place entirely on board the Enterprise.
