Meanwhile, the zombies claim as many victims as they can, growing the horde. It has been completely redesigned to facilitate aggressive play [from last year].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wong said the outbreak also would have one scripted event every night, complete with a quality story and equipment.  <\/p>\n<p>The free, student-run event is expected to include 200 students. He said this year, oUTbreak could easily surpass that: \u201cIt\u2019s part community theater, part game of tag and all fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students interested in taking part in oUTbreak must attend one of the four informational safety meetings to be held in Student Union Room 1503.<\/p>\n<p>Dates for the safety brief are:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Thursday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m.;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Friday, Sept. 7, at 6 p.m.; and<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Monday, Sept. 10, at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Students who cannot attend one of the meetings must go to Student Union Room 1503 and sign a waiver.  <\/p>\n<p>Wong said the event is sponsored by UT BASH.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to play Humans versus Zombies?
