Warren Mayne Reports From Canterbury

Sometime, somewhere, somehow next week I am going to be killed. How it will be done I do not know. And my sole consolation is the knowledge that the Canterbury students' association and the police for sure do not really approve.

For after a talk with the organiser of the latest "student game," "Carnage"—a sophisticated name for the latest American college craze, "The Hunt," I was enrolled as a victim.

Somewhere a hunter is waiting for me. He doesn't know who I am, and I have! naturally less idea of his identity.

The game, which runs in weekly rounds (a macabre term, that) from midnight Monday to 5pm Thursday, was advertised in Kobald, a student news weekly. A telephone number was supplied for participants. The organiser, "Lane." has offered to supply instructions for killers and victims each Monday in the Students' Union Building.
