<p>Police arrested a Quincy House sophomore last Friday night on drug charges following a violent struggle to subdue a second undergraduate who was admittedly under the influence of drugs, naked, and acting in an agitated, incoherent, and violent manner, police said. </p>
<p>Soren J. Siebach 08 was charged with possession of LSD with intent to distribute after police found 38 hits of the drug in his room, Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) spokesman, Steven G. Catalano, wrote in an e-mail. </p>
<p>The second undergraduate, who allegedly struck two police officers in the face after darting down the halls of Quincy House nude, was hospitalized that same night. </p>
<p>I don't mean to divert this thread into the debate about standardized testing, but Siebach was written up a few years back as one of a relative handful of kids who scored a perfect 36 on the ACT.</p>

The officers then attempted to stop him by physically grabbing him, he said. The student was extremely sweaty and slipped from the officers grasp. The male then ran down the hall and attempted to get into a door.
<p>I predict he'll be asked to take some time off from Harvard and then eventually will return, graduate and have a nice life.</p>
<p>Someone in my class who got kicked out after allegedly trying to steal dorm furniture, returned later, graduated, and was eventually written about in a Harvard publication for his ministerial work with troubled youths.</p>
<p>Harvard has a lot of faith in the people whom it selects to be students. From what I've seen, in most cases, that faith pays off even if during the short term, students make stupid mistakes.</p>

<p>According to the article, Siebach faces a maximum 10 years in state prison, a maximum two-and-a-half years in a house of correction, or a fine between $1,000 and $10,000 for possessing LSD with intent to distribute. </p>
<p>Siebach also voluntarily gave the officers a bag of marijuana, Catalano said. </p>
<p>The additional marijuana charge carries a sentence of no more than two years in prison, or a fine between $500 and $5,000, or both. </p>
<p>Siebach was also charged with a drug violation within a school zone, which carries a minimum sentence of two years in prison and a maximum of 15 years. The University-affiliated Radcliffe Child Care Center on the first floor of DeWolfe is across the street from Quincy.</p>
<p>First, he's got to get out from under the long arm of the law. . .</p>
<p>why would he do that?
Marijuana fine, Fight the power</p>
<p>but LSD, get the hell out of here</p>
<p>Your so smart, blessed, and talented, and you waste it by getting high on LSD AT HARVARD. </p>
<p>He deserves to go to jail for max, becuase he was given all the opportunities in life to be anything, and indeed he was almost there. "With Intent to Distribute" He made it to the best university in the world and now wants to sell drugs in there. </p>
<p>Ive known people who sell drugs to survive, and this idiot does it for fun.</p>
<p>There's no proof he was wasting anything, hell, Steve Jobs did a bunch of LSD and he turned out alright. If he was failing my opinion might be different, but I doubt he was. In my opinion, people can do what they like with their free time, as long as it doesn't harm others. I could write pages on this, but I've got an essay due tomorrow. I'll just say that I'm one of the most militant people against the war on drugs that you'll find, although this guy did make some poor choices that probably led to him being caught.</p>
