Past Classes

UNAG CHS 13.2 was instructed by Sierra and TA'd by Sarah. Halfway through the session, the UNAG class became engaged in prank wars with both Examining the Evidence B and Flight Science. A "UNAGicorn" was left in EXAM-B to be returned to the UNAG classroom as a EXAMicorn (with the addition of caution tape spread throughout the room). An attack on Flight Science had the consequence of numerous "airplanes" made of straws and clay stuck throughout the classroom, one of which was stuck in the forehead of the poster of the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon, leaving TA Sarah very emotionally distraught. Nukes and North Korea were frequently discussed, despite not being part of the actual curriculum. They also got their own Nine-Square court, which generally hacked off the rest of the camp.

At CHS 14.2 (again instructed by Sierra and TA'd this time by Sam), the last debate turned into a World War III, after Rwanda launched an invasion of the UK, China sanctioned Russia for losing a nuke, and China sent 200,000 troops to invade Rwanda. This probably happened because of World in Conflict, an activity introduced by RA Gerard earlier in the session.

At CHS 15.2, UNAG started a feud with BACO-B, and there was much tension, targeting in foursquare, an ultimatum left on a bench on the quad, and a unicorn stuffed animal that UNAG threatened to kill if BACO did not accept their peace terms.
