Four years later, some 350 students rampaged through the Cambridge streets, demanding the head of Alfred Vellucci. The "We want Vellucci" chant resulted from Vellucci's proposals that the Cambridge City Council confiscate all Harvard property for use as parking space. Vellucci suggested alternatively declaring Harvard a separate city from Cambridge, or, should this fail, revoking Harvard's liquor licenses.
