As a component of Unity Week, the UGBC presented the first-ever Comedy Night to a sold-out Devlin 008 Thursday from 8 to 10 p.m. Before the show commenced, the directors of the four groups (My Mother's Fleabag, CCE, Asinine, and Hello … Shovelhead!) gave a statement on their beliefs of the importance of unity on campus.
