HvZ not UF’s only intense game
By ADAM LICHTENSTEIN< | Sep. 22, 2010I agree with Sean Quinn’s column regarding Humans vs. Zombies. Players are far too intense and it reflects negatively on the school. I know another game where the same applies. A bunch of students wear pads, hit each other and chase a man with a ball. Most students get into the game and some even paint themselves! This barbarity reflects horribly on this school as a learning institution.

Boys who like girls — and boys: Happy Bi Day
By Eric Kossina | Sep. 22, 2010From left to right: a woman, a man and another man, all holding hands. I thought it was a pretty interesting sight too, not necessarily because I was confused, but because I had never seen it before. I thought I never would either. Rather than walk up and ask for an interview, I decided to follow them. They reached the entrance to Library West and then all parted ways, so I sat down to think. Was that a genuine three- way relationship?

“Vodka coke, hold the vodka” — The sober adventures of the beerless barfly
