Ahmed Amidst the ping pong, pool and arcade games in Millberry Union's recreation room, a coin-operated Tornado foosball table has been added. The spinning of the rods, a favorite activity of the careless, unskilled player, is not only illegal, but frowned upon by players who know what they are doing.
Medical schools are among the subcultures where foosball has flourished.
The chair of the surgery department is said to consider the foosball skills of the applicants for residency positions. Some are critical of this seemingly unfair factor in the decision making process, but those who use it attest that it is one of the best ways to predict the success of their surgeons, as it is a consistent and reliable measure of hand-eye coordination. My classmates would say 'look at the time he's wasting playing that stupid game' but its the best investment I made toward my medical career. The purchase of the new table was arranged by MU staffer Tracey Geralds, who says she was responding to student demand for new games in the recreation center. A big-screen TV has also been added as per students' requests set forth in an annual survey.
