2/1 - 2/19: A Vacuum Cleaner Assault

HUPD has their hands full with us Harvard students over the past few weeks. Between getting locked out of our rooms, our frequent late-night debauchery, and our pleas to spare us from the prying eyes of tourists, it seems that a lot's been going on around campus.As part of our Securitas Series, we've combed through recent HUPD logs and published some of the more colorful entries below.
