Cornel West, Harvard Affiliates Call for University to Divest from ‘Israeli Apartheid’ at Rally
"What the king does not provide
For us to gently wipe our hide
Robin Hood and men of steel
Must go to William James and steal."

The pair, who would identify themselves only as "Robin Hood and a merry man"--because they feared retaliation from the "bourgeois Ad Board"--said they stole the toilet paper from bathrooms in William James Hall early Tuesday morning.

"We theorize that the janitor got scared that he would be blamed and so he quickly replaced it all," Robin said, adding, "where else would we have gotten all this?"
Archie C. Epps III, dean of students, said he had "no profound reaction" to the incident.
