Professor Unmasks Classroom Streakers

— -- A North Carolina professor gets an A+ after she unmasked two streakers who barged into her lecture hall.

Rita Balaban, an economics professor at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, was one hour into her economics lecture when three masked and naked men ran into the auditorium, disrupting the class of 375 students, according to ABC News affiliate WTVD-TV.

When the three streakers ran down the aisle towards Balaban, she snatched the masks off the two closest to her.

"To me, it was a no-brainer," Balaban told WTVD. "It was like, you're coming right at me. This is too easy. I grab the one guy's mask and just pulled it right off, no problem."

Her students erupted into applause when she came back into the lecture hall with the two masks.

Balaban said she was aware of students streaking in classrooms in the past and was prepared if it ever happened to her.

"I then always said, I would find out who it was," she recalled. "If I had a chance, I would take the masks off to embarrass them even more that way."

One of the streakers has been cited for indecent exposure, a spokesman for the UNC Department of Public Safety told WTVD.
