On Thursday, Sept. 27, the Cherry-Silver Games, an event held annually as part of UNM's Homecoming activities, will feature the hijinks of students competing in a variety of wacky and hilarious games all in an attempt to attain the coveted Cherry-Silver Cup. The antics begin at 3:30 at the Duck Pond.

Some of the games include the Lobo Howl, where participants compete as the best howler; the Star Lobo, an event where teams toss footballs through a target; the Lobo Splash, a water balloon toss game; and the Lobo Steam Roll, where contestants must wrap themselves up in a plastic table cloth. Two additional events include the Race for Lucy and the Louie Slobber.
