I spoke too soon. Apparantly the helicopter I heard last night was
due to some wacked-out tradition UCLA has (which I had never heard of
before) of burning your papers and such after finals are over, which
got out of hand in some unspecified way and the police had to be
called in. I found this out from Dan's grandmother, who called us to
see if we were okay. We are okay.
