2000's

Soviet Russia and the Moscow Wall of Death

Session(s):2006.1

In 2006 session 1, Matt Higgin's hall decided they didn't like their RA-imposed airplane theme, and would much prefer to be Soviet Russians, just for fun. Each member then promptly adopted a Russian name. Under Boris Karloff's leadership, they also began marching to and from classes in formation, recruiting more Russians, and engaging in various other Russian / communist activities whenever the opportunity presented itself. For example, at a sign-making activity, several Russians mass-produced Communist propaganda, which were subsequently distributed to all of the halls. By this time, at least 30% of the session was aware of this new and small Soviet Union. This figure would massively increase when, as a result of winning Casino Night *cough Boris is a thief *cough*, Matt's hall was allowed to pick the first three songs for the final dance. The first two were Led Zeppelin songs picked by a nevermore, Vasilie, but the third was Moscow (english version), by Dschinghis Khan. As soon as this song was played, all Russians sprinted to the front of Sullivan courtyard, linked arms, and begin doing a basic Russian kick-dance. There were more than enough people to span the width of Sullivan, so this chain of people was in essence a wall. Nearly all of the non-wall-participants gathered in front of the wall, and either watched or took pictures. Approximately 20 seconds from the end of the song, the wall began to move forwards, while continuing to do the kick-dance. Some people got trampled, but nobody was seriously hurt. This was one of the major odd events to occur that session at LMU, thus earning it a place in the Hall of Fame.

Soccer Face

Session(s):2006-2008.2

For three years now, David Krucik has graced LMU Session 2 with his ridiculously awesome Soccerface videos. The story of Soccerface however cannot be fully credited to him. Our sources tell us that the original story was told in joint by Jared S. and the RA Paul during 06.2, it became the mission of this RA group (a combination of Ethics and INBS) to spread the word of Soccerface.

Short Potato Famine

Session(s):2007-2010

The LOS cafeteria is famous for the abundance of potatoes at every meal. In 07.1, students were shocked by a meal with no potatoes to be found. There were fears of this occurring again in 08.1 until a cream of potato soup was discovered. In 09.1 and 09.2, there were again a couple of meals without potatoes, to the shock of students. in 10.1 and 10.2, a change in the cafeteria service led to a dramatic decrease in potatoes, with many meals going potato-less.

Forever Young???

Session(s):2007.2

During session 2 in 2007, when RA DJs failed to play Forever Young during the first dance, and played the wrong version during the second dance, many CTYers (except squirrels) decidedly sat down for the entire song, causing the small circle of absentminded people dancing in the middle to look around, confused.

Fight!

Session(s):2008.1, 2008.2

It is a strange thing when a fight breaks out in CTY, but even stranger during silent reading. Two abnormally short kids, one from Hong Kong, and one from Seoul turned their argument into a brawl with the igniting comment "All Hong Kong kids live on the streets!". This was a particularly bad location to start a fight, as every RA within close proximity saw them. It truly brought a new meaning to "Extreme Silent Reading".

It is a strange thing when a fight breaks out in CTY, but even more stranger when half the participants are from off campus, and strangest when the other half are in skirts. During drag day during lunch time a group of four kids from off campus came to the terrace in order to hunt down a CTY student who was (supposedly) going out with a girl from their old school. Fortunately David A., Gavin, Kevin, and Bert faced down the four off campus kids while still in dresses (David A. especially with a large fake butterfly tattoo on his back!). The fight almost moved to blows before Tony and Rahsaan came and broke it up. The four off campus kids were apprehended by the police while David A. almost got kicked out.
