Facebook! So evil, yet so... connected.

The USU now has an official Facebook group. We're not exactly sure how we feel about this. Oh well. Enjoy!

Advice from a caterpillar...

Good Evening Kings, Queens, Dutches, Knights, Knaves, Playing Cards, Chess Pieces, Rabbits, Dodos, Cheshire Cats, Footmen, Mice, Tiger-lilies, Hatters (possibly mad), Carpenters, Walruses, and Others,

Tomorrow the Union Street Underground will be celebrating Lewis Carol Day and the Spring Equinox. Please take this opportunity to read the numerous works of Lewis Carol, to smoke hookah on a giant mushroom, to have tea parties, to play chess, to solve riddles, to do math with alternate number systems, to speak in logic puzzles, or to do anything else that you feel to be appropriate for the occasion.

Enjoy thinking outside of the box, falling down rabbit holes, and the first day of spring.

Sincerely,
The Union Street Underground

Caesar or CSAP. That is the question.

Good Evening Students of Cherry Creek High School and Other Interested Parties,

Many of us here at the Underground spent today either frolicking in luscious green meadows, overthrowing small third-world countries, learning how to fly broomsticks, or playing Chinese checkers with high ranking members of the Catholic Church.

To everyone who was not so fortunate: we hope you thoroughly enjoyed the first of your three yearly CSAP experiences. Your dedication to ensuring our school remains at the top of every list, except for those containing the word "diversity", is greatly appreciated. Bravo.

A few thing to consider while you continue your pursuit of... excellence:

• Honer and glory to any of you who mange to use the phrase "Union Street Underground" and the word "Awesome" together in your response to one of the CSAP essays or short answer prompts. E-mail us at submit.usu@gmail.com with your story.
• Beware Thursday. It is the Ides of March. Unless you wish to invoke the wrath of the pantheon of Roman gods, we recommend wearing a toga, laurel, or some other tribute to all that the Roman's left us to school on Thursday. E-mail or text your pictures to submit.usu@gmail.com.
• We don't really have anything to put for this bullet point. We're just messing with you. One thousand apologies for the inconvenience.
• As it turns out, we did have something to put for the previous bullet point, but due to a disruption in the chain of communication, we were not informed of it until just now. Those who were responsible have been sacked. Again, one thousand apologies for the inconvenience.
• If there was no incompetence in our world, this would have followed the third bullet point: If is within your capabilities, please print a few extra copies of any issue the USU and hand them out to your friends before CSAPs start Wednesday and Thursday morning. The Underground makes excellent reading in between tests, and is proven to replace the creativity and will to live that are often depleted during the course of the CSAPs.
  

Thank you to all of you who have been contributing to the steady flow of submissions we have received. We look forward to the release of Issue 4 with great anticipation. Keep up the good work. And long live the Colorado Student Assessment Program!
