marlatt L f . by Jennifer Newberry oa ers Residents strive for gold, community involvement in month-long revival of Couch Potato Olympics normally refer to international sport competitions, but Marlatt Hall borrowed the term for a different purpose. The Couch Potato Olympia began Nov. 17 and ended Dec.13. When the games first appeared in 1996, the goal was to involve students who didn ' t participate in sports-related activities. The games consisted of bowling, shooting pool, throwing darts and betting on the NCAA basketball tournament bracket. After taking a hiatus from 2000 to 2002, the games returned with more events. Activities such as bowling and a TV marathon were brought back, while board and card games were added. I was really glad tosee Pitch asone of thegames. Jimmie Klein, senior in computerengineering,said. It ' s not one most people would think of. The Marlatt Hall Governing Board chose theevents from a list and lames Stoutenborough, hall president and senior in political science, planned and coordinated the events. I was the only one around when we did them before, Stoutenborough said. I thought we would try something a little different this time to get more participation. Eighty-five residents participated in more than 300 rounds of games. Stoutenborough said the goal was simple. We wanted everyone to have fun and get their minds off studying, he said. We try to make dorm life as good as it can be. Klein said the games brought people together. It was an opportunity to learn new games as well as a social event, he said. It was good for people. For students who spent a majority oft heir time in the hall, it was a reason to get involved. I ' m usually hanging around, Nathan Johnson. junior in architectural engineering, said, so I thought ' why not? ' Stoutenborough said the event increased socialization. Interaction between the floors was not always as high, he said. This way, people can find other people who like to play the same games and then go set them up.
