After a demonstration, a petition drive, and even some violence, five video games have been banned from a campus recreational area at Duke University.

Protestors argued that the games disturbed conversation in the meeting place.

The first act of opposition to the games came on March 19 when Abner "Woody" Holton, a graduate student, cut the electric cords to the games in what he called an "act of protest against what the machines represent."

Holton's actions inspired the organization of a group that demonstrated against the games and circulated a petition calling for their removal.

The petition was signed by more than 200 students, professors and non-academic university employees.

But despite their seemingly complete success, the anti-vids vowed that this was just the start of a broader movement. -The Chronicie
