Professors vs.
ZOMBIES

Run for the hills! Zombies!
'Professors vs. Zombies'
pits the academic community
against the undead horde.
Zombies have increased
in popularity tremendously
over recent years. Whether
it's AMC's "Walking Dead,"
more comedic zombie films
like "Zombit~land" or "Shaun
of the Dead," or zombie novels
like those of Max Brooks,
zombies seem to be here to
stay, and Americans can't get
enough of them.
But what could account
for the recent interest in zombies?
This was one of the rna-jor
topics at the "Professors
vs. Zombies" conference held
April 13 and 14. Professors
from both the Louisville community
and around the United
States participated. U of
I..:s own Dr. Aaron Jaffe spoke
on the recent popularity of
zombies, showing a chart that
depicted all the mentions of
the word zombie in Google's
massive collection of archived
print materials in the last 200
years. "Two hundred years
ago, there were no zombies.
Around 1900, there's a little
murmur. There's a bit rp.ore

In relationships, race is less and less of a factor
\
By Cailtyn Crenshaw
When Ashton Dowell started dating
her boyfriend, who happened to
be of a different race, in high school,
she said her parents were "really supportive,~'
and "once they met him,
they really just fell in love with him."
And when college students go
looking for love, they see race less and
less.
In 2010, the number of interracial
relationships reached an all-time
high, accounting for 8.4 percent of all
marriages, compared to 3.2 percent
in 1980. Interracial relationships are
becoming increasingly accepted in
society and, more specifically, in college.
Dowell, a freshman dental hygiene
major, said, "It has really enriched my
view of the world and seeing different
people for something other than what
their skin looks like."
As the millennials approach ages
where dating and marriage are part
of life, the occurrence of interracial
relationships has the potential to increase.
According to the 2011 census
data, an estimated 4.5 million ·married
couples in the country are considered
interracial.
Alexi Lyninger said, "I've had interracial
couples in my family ever
since I was a little kid, so I've always
. seen it as a little more acceptable."
Lyninger, a senior Spanish major,
said, "I don't think t\lat it turns heads
like it used to."
