Zombies return to CSC
The Zombie plague is returning to the Castleton campus and everyone is gearing up to start the fight once again.
The immensely popular Nerf-gun tag game that took over campus for a week last semester will be returning for a second round from April 23-27 and is set to be even bigger than the last one. Area coordinator Maddie Hope says that residence life has been hard at work planning out the game to be even more enjoyable.
“We’re closely following the rules found on the national website,” said Hope. “We’re also planning to have an additional event similar to the finale we had last time that we’d like to do mid-week to give to the students.”
Another important addition to the game is that this time around it will no longer be limited to just students. Faculty and staff will be able to enter the battle as well.
Theater professor Harry McEnerny says that although he will be unable to participate himself, he is excited for the game’s return.
“I’m too competitive. If I did compete, I can’t imagine what would happen,” said McEnerny. “It’s a great way to break up the monotony of school work for the students, and especially at this time of year with the end approaching. It’s absolutely great!”
Sign-ups for the game will be Tuesday in Huden and Thursday in Jeffords and the Campus Center from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Participants will receive a waiver and copy of the rules as well as their bandana and I.D.
