Adam Swart, an independent presidential candidate, has dropped out of the undergraduate student government election.

Washington, D.C. “”mdash; Cab drivers chain-smoking Marlboros called out in thick, deep accents toward sprinting spectators to give free rides to the White House.

A college student scurried up a lightpole and hung a U.S. flag that was instantly greeted by a wild delirium from the masses below.

Car horns erupted. Spontaneous renditions of the Star Spangled Banner broke out. And Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” rang out from a boombox, becoming the night’s theme song.

It was a party. It was patriotism. And somehow it all made sense.

What started with only a small group of tourists turned into a rally of thousands as people gathered Sunday night outside the White House to celebrate the announcement of Osama Bin Laden’s death. President Barack Obama told the Americans in a video address Sunday night that the al Qaeda leader was killed in a CIA operation in Pakistan.

Bin Laden is held responsible for the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Many in attendance were college students from schools including George Mason, Georgetown and George Washington, who decided to hold off on studying for finals to take part in the jubilation.

UCLA students were also in the mix.

A planned visit to UCLA by His Holiness the Dalai Lama has been cancelled.

The Dalai Lama was scheduled to participate in a lecture Monday morning and a symposium in the afternoon, but he is unable to travel due to illness, according to a university statement.

The 75-year-old Tibetan religious leader is said to have delayed his flight to Los Angeles from Tokyo at the advice of his doctors. He is currently recovering from a sore throat, according a statement by a Dalai Lama spokesman.

Ticket holders for the morning lecture have been notified, and refunds have been offered.

The afternoon symposium, titled “Buddhism and Neuroscience: A Discussion on Attention, Mental Flexibility and Compassion,” will proceed without the Dalai Lama, according to the university statement. The event, to be held in Royce Hall at 1:30 p.m., will feature three UCLA professors of neuroscience and psychiatry and a fourth professor who will moderate.

The university is unsure if the Dalai Lama will reschedule his appearance at UCLA, but information will be updated as it is found out, a spokeswoman said.
