Fighting Off the Zombies

The Star-Ledger examines the growing popularity of large-scale anti-zombie warfare as a student game. Last week, students at both Drew and Fairleigh Dickinson Universities were engaged in the activities -- encouraged by anti-alcohol groups that want to promote booze-free, fun activities. In the games, all students start as human, except for one randomly selected as a zombie. That student then attempts to tag students and turn them into zombies. Humans can win by surviving the week-long competition; zombies win for killing off the greatest number of humans.
