The two University of Connecticut students arrested for making racist comments were playing the “penis game,” which then transformed into the “N-word game,” according to the UConn Police Department’s arrest warrant affidavits.
Students Jarred Karal, 21 and Ryan Mucaj, 21, were walking back to their apartment in Charter Oak Apartments’ Thompson Hall from a night at Huskies Tavern, Huskies Bar and Sgt. Pepperoni’s Pizza when they started playing the “penis game,” which involves shouting the word “penis” as loud as one can, Karal said in his affidavit. The first person who doesn’t want to shout it or says it softly loses the game.
Since 2004, Dr. Thomas Blum, Professor of Physics and Associate Department Head for Undergraduate Affairs, has been researching the fundamental forces of the universe at the University of Connecticut. His research is about Quantum Chromodynamics, a theory which describes the interactions between elementary particles. The development of this theory could help further understanding of the Standard Model of particle physics.
