Police evacuate lecture hall due to bomb scare According to College freshman Stephanie Lichtor, who was taking a Biology 102 exam, there were two police cars in front of the labs and about 10 police officers and security officials inside the building when she left. And College sophomore Nishchay Maskay said that once everyone emptied from the large lecture hall where the exam was being administered, the officers entered the room and shut the door. Neither Philadelphia nor Penn Police would provide further comment on the incident. -- Laura McClure
