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 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.
