Stanford was in Palo Alto the last time I looked... is the "City of Stanford" a new chartered entity inside Palo Alto? to permit "real" law enforcement, not just hired guns?

Stanford used to be a real town. Palo Alto annexed a number of surrounding smaller towns in the 50s. The town of Mayfield is one; it consisted of the area just south and east of Stanford, where California street is now.
I'd been under the impression that Palo Alto didn't _want_ to have the campus within its boundaries - too much risk of students voting in city elections while living in the dorms. Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, stewarts@ix.netcom.com Regular Key PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639
