Dressed to Kill A tall, dark stranger follows you down the sidewalk. 'This is my lucky day," you think, hoping for a date. Dressed in dark sunglasses, a low brim hat and a trenchcoat, you quickly recognize him as the James Bond type. Suddenly, he pulls a gun from his pocket and yells "Gotcha! !" as he shoots a dart at your back. He flashes your identification card and you realize you've just been eliminated. Better luck next time. The Harding Invitational Termination Tournament, better known as H.I.T.T. , is a new, action-packed game for thrill seekers at Harding. Prospective, survival-oriented students were sent invitations through campus mail from an unknown connection, alias the Rose. The original 20 began the game in midJanuary as a sort of trial run, before expanding and including many more students. The select group of people met in disguise for ID photos, instructions and weapon dispensing. Several days later, each member received a target assignment through campus mail, and the game had begun.

Once you have shot your target , you exchange ID cards, and stalk your new assignment until there are only two left. After the ensuing shoot-out, the sole survivor is the victor, and the game begins again. Never fear, rules do govern the action of the game. Strike zones are above the waist, except for the face and hands. Books may be used in selfdefense, or a potential victim may wound his aggressor by shooting him first. The assassin is then out of commission for six hours, but beware, he may be killed in that time, and someone new will be given your ID as a target. Participants must pay vigilant attention to their environment at all times, as they never know who might be after them. Beware. H.I.T.T. continues. You can feel safe, however, if you are in chapel, a classroom or worship. Shooting is illegal in these locations. You'll also be secure if you go live with a faculty member or follow one around all day. It's against the rules. J1IL - The Rat and Marti Hari H.I.T.T. me with your best shot.
