I work as a computing assistant here at Yale, maintaining the public
microcomputer clusters.  On our UNIX servers in the CS dept., we have
several megabytes of games up and running (and heavily played, and
very popular).  There are several people who make a hobby out of play-
ing and installing new games.  In the microcomputer clusters, we don't
forbid people from using the Macs for games, but we ask them to turn
the cound off and to leave if someone needs to use a Mac for writing
or other work.

Why does Acadia have such a hard-line policy?
