No Bomb Found In Holyoke Center

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Hundreds of Harvard students and employees, known for their fatalism, ignored a bomb threat yesterday morning and crossed University Police lines into Holyoke Center.

"We received an anonymous telephone call at 7:30 this morning telling us a bomb was going to go off in Holyoke Center at 10:30 a.m. and blow up the whole fucking place," a police spokesman said.

University officials assigned the warning a low-credibility green alert, as opposed to a high-credibility red alert. Students and employees were allowed to enter the building but were warned of the bomb threat by police at the door.

Called Off

Police called off the green alert at 11:15 a.m.

"This kind of thing happens fairly often," a policeman at the scene said. "We have several bomb threats every year."

"You learn to live with petty annoyances like this in today's high-pressured society," said an unidentified student as he pressed the elevator button.
