...better off restricting their rural fantasies to improved air quality. Good ol' country living now suffers from that big-city disease known as a rising crime rate, according to the FBI'S annual Uniform Crime Reports released last week.

...also costly. Catholic U.'s annual security budget has jumped nearly 500% since 1970, up to $350,000. Since the rape, the school has beefed up security in the 64 buildings on its 190-acre campus. "I don't want a state-of-siege campus," says University President Clarence Walton, "but the courts are holding universities responsible for an amount of security higher than that demanded in the public domain...
