While most students passed their journeys home for winter break eagerly anticipating the riotous festivities ahead, some had already had their share of holiday chaos, as they were left stranded outside of Lowell House when one of the Undergraduate Council (UC) shuttles to the airport ran out of room. Dozens of students who hoped to get on the 2 p.m. shuttle to Logan International Airport on Tuesday, Dec. 20 were turned away at the last minute due to a lack of luggage space. After the shuttle apparently allowed students without tickets to board at the Quad, some students...
