Tonight, a group allegedly from the SDS (that's Students for a Democratic Society, for those of you who are really younger than I want to believe) allegedly set out to allegedly burn down Shannon Hall, the building that housed Harvard's ROTC program. But they were denied free access to the building when campus police aided by Minutemen-like freshman athletes blocked their path.
