Council addresses underage drinking
The Neighborhood University Community Council (NUCC) wants the entire community to work together to support healthy, responsible decisions by SCSU students.
NUCC submitted a proposal Wednesday to the Minnesota Join Together Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking (MJT) with a plan to look at what is happening in the residential neighborhoods surrounding campus and the downtown area. The MJT awarded $7,500 to St. Cloud to address the underage drinking problem.
Members include students, residents, university faculty and administrators, law enforcement, a City Council member and the hospital industry to try and find a solution to the problem. The group plans to meet on the first Thursday of every month.
National Guard protects water facilities
Minnesota National Guard members have been deployed to stand guard at the state's nuclear plants, refineries and water intake facilities. Security is tighter than ever to protect against possible terrorist retaliation for war in Iraq.
Governor Pawlenty asked the troops to stand guard after conferring with U.S. Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge and local safety officials.
Armed with M-16 rifles and 9-mm pistols, Army National Guard members are now posted throughout the Minneapolis Water Works Plant in Fridley around the clock, seven days a week. It is not known how long they will stand guard.
