Learning is undead
By Margeaux Johnson | Sep. 23, 2010In his column “Zombie attack bad for university image,” Sean Quinn states, “above all else UF is a four-year research institution, focused on educating its students to their fullest potentials.” I would argue this is exactly why alternate reality games like Humans vs. Zombies (HvZ) should have a place on campus.

HvZ safe for students
By Preston Hale | Sep. 22, 2010I’m a human, both in the literal sense Mr. Quinn defines in his column and in the Humans vs. Zombies game I participated in last week. The game provides harmless, alcohol- and drug-free entertainment to about 1,000 UF students.

HvZ is a great college memory
By Kristine Myny | Sep. 22, 2010The idea of an exaggerated tag at a respected university does seem childish, but there’s nothing wrong with that if it brings people together at UF and in schools across the country.

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.
