<DIV><FONT size=2>Here's part of what I don't understand about the UI security
issue: </FONT><FONT size=2>If this was an open bid process, what was left
to negotiate/discuss, let alone negotiate/discuss in secret? Shouldn't the
bid terms have clearly spelled everything out? If not, then the bid
process needs to be done again, correctly (which excludes Lloyd
Mues).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I fail to see how unarmed security personnel are going to help
with the alcohol problem which allegedly is part of the motivation. These
unfortunate pseudocops are very likely to end up being great objects of
ridicule and pranking especially if they to concentrate on the Greek community
as has been alleged. [That's what has happened elsewhere.]

<DIV><FONT size=2>The alcohol problem has many facets including the need for an
intelligent (perhaps too much to expect now from the present UI personnel
concerned) and very persistent, deep reaching education and prevention
program. More enforcement is clearly needed. Why not leave that
further enforcement to the professionals, the MPD, with a little help with
closer communication, and not with a security firm [AlliedBarton] which simple
Googling shows are much less than stellar in performance and
integrity.</FONT></DIV>
