President Is on Guard

William D. Huston, the president of St. Catharine College, has just traded oversight of 776 people for command of 70.

A demotion? Not exactly.

Mr. Huston, a captain in the Coast Guard Reserve, was called to active duty last month after the terrorist attacks. He immediately left the Kentucky college for his post in Paducah, Ky.

"I know I will be in charge of 70 men from many different states, but we haven't been told where we are going," he said before leaving the campus.
