*********** Kind of sloppy that they left out 2004 in the crime data (there was a murder on the MUM campus). As far as support for 8hrs/day Siddhas, it's unlikely they are going to get organized enough (understandably, since 8 hrs of meditation/day doesn't leave much time for commercial activity) to do any self- supporting thing. But donor support from U.S. TMers should be strong enough to float that boat. MUM is said to have about the same number of students as the FF high school, but if you look farther down the page, there are only 269 students living on the MUM campus (and almost all students are required to live on campus). The difference is due to the large number of foreign computer science students, who only stay on campus for 7 months, then go and work while finishing their M.S.: People in group quarters in Fairfield 269 people in college dormitories (includes college quarters off campus) Bob Brigante http://mumbull.org
