He was wearing a black shirt and red athletic shorts.
France has had effectively no economic growth this year, unemployment is <a href=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php>Christian Louboutin Sale</a>  hovering around 10 percent and Hollande's approval ratings are sunk in the teens. The country is under pressure from the 28-nation EU to get its finances in order, but Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg has criticized austerity as the wrong medicine to foster growth and argues the government should spend more freely to create jobs.

He lashed out at the government's policies in a final adieu as minister on Monday.

鈥淚 usually walk with people from my dorm anyway. Go to breakfast lunch dinner with them,鈥?said Matt Unger, a freshman.
"My responsibility as economy minister is to tell the truth, and observe... that not only these austerity policies are not working, but they are also unfair, as well as being ineffective"

鈥淲e re not <a href=http://www.cicviseu.net/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Patterson>Tory Burch Patterson</a>  locals so obviously they re going to take us as the victims so we`re going to be the main targets, so walk in a group and look behind you,鈥?said Olivier Van Hauwermeiren, a freshman.
Hollande's promised reforms have stalled, in large part because of the divisions within his Socialist Party.
+
鈥淚 think I m pretty safe on this campus. The DPS is great, and there s a cop on every corner. So I鈥檓 not too worried about it,鈥?said Eric Wagner.
Montebourg unsettled his government bosses over the weekend by proclaiming that a "major change in our economic policy," was needed 鈥?just days after Hollande had expressly said there would be no change in the government's economic direction.
+
The Marquette alerts also included tips to stay safe:
The minister's comments angered the Socialist leadership, which said Montebourg's job was to support the government, not criticize it from within.
+
Walk in pairs or groups, being aware of your surroundings at all times.
"He's not there to start <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php> Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet</a>  a debate but to put France back on the path of growth," Carlos Da Silva, the Socialist Party spokesman, told the Le Figaro newspaper.
+
Use the LIMO and safety patrol services provided by DPS. Call 414-288-6363 for SSP escorts.
Montebourg represents the hard-left Socialist base, and his departure from the government is likely to anger many of the voters who brought Hollande to office in 2012. Since that time, France's economy has only worsened, and the sense of impending crisis weighs heavily.
+
During evening hours watch for the new LIMO with strobe lights patrolling the perimeters of campus; the driver may ask if you want a ride or want to request a walking escort.
Montebourg was conducting a "very responsible and constructive debate on questions that we have been asking for months," said Christian Paul, a Socialist parliamentarian who is among a clutch of leftist rebels backing Montebourg. "It looks like a schoolyard punishment."
+
Make sure someone knows when you leave and when to expect you back.
French officials have already made clear the deficit will again <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php>Christian Louboutin Outlet</a>  surpass the EU's 3 percent limit and are negotiating a delay.
+
Do not become distracted by talking on your cell phone or listening to music through headphones at a high volume.
The new government is unlikely to include Montebourg or other left-wing Socialists and there will be no new election. Instead, led by Valls, the new Cabinet is expected to work toward smoother ties with the EU.
+
Travel on well-lit, busy streets and avoid walking through alleys and parking lots.
Montebourg's criticism of austerity 鈥?and his pointed remarks about German Chancellor Angela Merkel 鈥?have rankled before.
+
Be aware of places along your path of travel that could conceal a criminal (shrubbery, building recesses, etc.). Avoid or keep a distance from these areas whenever possible.
In an interview last week with the newspaper Le Monde after Germany's economy also showed signs of stagnation, Montebourg said France's neighbor had been "trapped by the policy of austerity."
+
Take note of suspicious vehicles, especially those that appear to be circling the block or driving <a href=http://architectscanterbury.co.uk/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Large-Colin>Kate Spade Outlet</a>  unusually slow. If you observe a suspicious vehicle, relay its description and location to DPS using one of the more than 300 blue light phones on and near campus.
He went on to say "when I say Germany, I mean the German right wing that supports Angela Merkel. It's not France's job to align itself to the ideological axioms of Germany's right wing."
+
If you think someone is following you, cross the street, head for a well-populated, well-lit area and contact DPS using one of the more than 300 blue light phones on and near campus.
Merkel on Monday declined to comment directly about France's change in government but said she wishes "the French president success with his reform agenda."
+
If you plan to drink, do so in moderation to avoid putting yourself in a position of increased risk.
The Socialists still have a majority in parliament, but one that will remain fractured even after the new government is installed 鈥?and vulnerable to inroads from France's resurgent right-wing National Front.
+
If approached, give up your property.
"It looks more like an atmosphere of purge than an atmosphere of reconstruction," said Paul. "The president is diminishing his majority at every step."
