Dominoes

Şlap. Slap. If you are watching a game of Dominoes here in St.Vincent, this is the sound you will hear as the hard ivory pieces with the trademark black dots, hit the table or desk. This is a common game in the Caribbean, especially among young men. Why then would it be different at the college?
During their spare time a group is known to assemble in the area of that tuckshop and play to relieve the stress of school among other things. This group, though certain members are maintained, is a very dynamic group and is open to anyone willing to join in. There is often a small crowd to support their peers, or wait for their turn after one-man or even two-man jump rounds.
However, some question is raised among the faculty as to whether this should be allowed. As far as Man About College knows, the bouts of domino does not disturb anyone. When the concern was first raised, the players even stopped slamming the dominoes on the desk to ensure that their little society does not disrupt classes. They do not play for money, hence are not gambling. Some teachers have commented that it “doesn’t look good” to see students playing dominoes. But Man About College is wondering; does it look good to see students eating in classrooms and along the concrete catwalk because there is no where else to eat? Some say there’s nothing positive about the students playing dominoes, but there are positive aspects if you open your eyes. Wouldn’t you rather these young men (and sometimes females) play dominoes, than engage in many other negative activities during free periods such as doing drugs? Wouldn’t you rather friendly rivalry resulting from dominoes, than violent feuds over petty things? Wouldn’t you rather see these young people unite and learn to encourage each other and work together? Say these aren’t positive outcomes.
Often one hears what one wants to hear or see what one wants to see. If you are determined to see only negative impacts of this activity, Then you will, but if you open your eyes, you can see that there is many positive impacts to be derived.
