Gulf Coast shrimpers balked, and last spring, when the devices were made mandatory under the Endangered Species Act, the shrimpers protested by blockading shipping channels along the Texas and Louisiana coasts.

Yet the adminstration only replaced the student guards at the Science Center with armed, professional ones.

The administration also refused to increase the number of street lights in the Yard, even after six assaults of students near in the Square in a four-week period, because it would...
