Nintendo contest relieves hall residents from studies
A group of Oliver Hall residents gathered around a large-screen television yesterday afternoon in the main lobby to watch and participate in what could be KU's first-ever organized Super Nintendo tournament.

"I think it's great, especially if you love video games, like I do," said Matthew Marcus, Overland Park freshman.

Kolbe said scores were determined by the best of three laptimes in F-Zero and the 40 minutes of Super Mari-Oland.
"Your thumbs start to hurt," he said.
The 10 contestants who showed up played for an about hour each, he said.
Kolbe said the contestants had "Nintendo thumb" by the end of the tournament.
"Your thumbs start to hurt," he said. Kolbe said he hoped the tournament idea caught on at other residence halls.
"It's hard to find a place that rents,"
