Nebraska Bans 'Live Free or Neihardt' Game

March 4, 2008 RSS Feed Print

University of Nebraska's Residence Hall Association has officially condemned the school's ban on its "Live Free or Neihardt" game, where students in the honors college use foam dart guns to "assassinate" each other all over Neihardt Residence Hall, the Daily Nebraskan reports. "We represent students of residence halls, and if students of residence halls want to play this game, we don't want it to be banned," said one RHA member.

The game was called off last month after police responded to a report of a masked gunman on campus. The "gunman" was carrying a foam dart gun, and as a result, the university—citing security concerns—canceled the game, taking down signs advertising the event and confiscating the foam guns. "You're all college students, living in a post-Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University world," said a university official, "I think all of us can understand the sensitivity of the time we live in."

I¹ve actually taken the 10 minutes it requires to join this wacky bunch of optimists and I¹m hoping that there are others out there that will spare the change to try this.

READ ON : I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. "A little while back, I was browsing through news groups and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!

So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send only $1.00 to each of the 6 email addresses stated in this article.

You then place your name and address at the bottom of the list at the #6th position and email it to your friends as well as post this message (with your email address in the list) to at least 200 newsgroups.

(There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it.

I figured "what have I got to lose except $6.00, right?" So I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!

Within days, I started getting money coming into my Pay Pal account! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in.

In my first week, I made about $25.00 which means that 25 people joined the group after they saw my posted messages.

By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it¹s still growing.

This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it¹s still coming in rapidly. It¹s certainly worth $6.00, and the few minutes it took to join Paypal.

I have spent more than that on the lottery!

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works. Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it, as you need it.

I promise you that if you follow the directions EXACTLY, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!

SUGGESTION:

Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out or download it.)

Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It¹s that easy. It¹s legal. And, your investment is only $6.00.

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk-it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive ex

Laughter, lightheartedness, and mockery of tragedy are a human beings ingrained response to tragedy. If college students wish to parody the almost unspeakable travesties of modern life, more power to them, I say. Pain can be dealt with in healthy and unhealthy ways... The shooter at VA Tech obviously chose the former. Obviously, a masked gunperson on a campus today will raise alarm, but if he/she weilds only a cartoonish dart pistol, I for one support the freedom.
