How could anyone think of doing such a thing when people are dying in Iraq, asked the fireman. Really, how could they? The students, with yet another layer of shame heaped upon them, finally began to file back into the House. (Cambridge Fire Department Chief of Operations John J. Gelina, told The Crimson that he had not heard of the tirade and that he was unable to comment further.) While we certainly share the legitimate concern over what would have...
