HvZ begins this week

For its second semester, UT will join over 300 universities hosting a local game of Humans versus Zombies beginning Wednesday and lasting until April 19.

Humans versus Zombies is played by having most participants starting as humans, depicted by bandanas on their arms or thighs, and a select few beginning as the original zombies, who are identified by bandanas tied to their heads.

Like any game, it becomes more exciting by adding Nerf guns. Humans are killed by being tagged by zombies and zombies are stunned temporarily once shot by a Nerf gun or hit by a sock.

Last semester, 176 students registered to play.

Before Nerf bullets can fly, anyone participating must attend one of the mandatory informational safety meetings. The next one is today at 2:30 p.m. and the final one will be Wednesday at 3 p.m., both in the Student Union Building Room 2591. In addition to attendance, anyone wishing to participate must have a signed copy of the safety waiver, which can be found on the UT Ad-Hoc website.
