There is a certain hypocrisy to the "Cops in Shops" program insofar as that before Scott Krueger's death, allocating valuable police resources to bust first years for buying a couple of 12-packs was not a priority for the Cambridge Police Department.

Young remembers hearing the ghosts of University Hall. He says, "no one has heard it since 'the bust.'" (The "bust" refers to the recapture of the building after the student takeover during Vietnam protests in 1969. To get in, the police had to break down the doors.)
