Poor example

The Options Game, sponsored
by the Human Relations
Programming Council, was
created to teach students about
the limited options poor people
have.
About 12 students participated
in the event which was held last
Thursday night, February 18.
Players included African-
Americans, Hispanics and
whites. Males dominated the
game, with only two or three
female players.
Students were, divided into
three groups: the
Tourists/Rich, the Urban Poor
and the Rural Poor.
The goal of the Options
Game was to show students the
limited options the poor have to
survive. Each group's purpose
was to make their situation
better by bargaining with other
groups for food and/or money.
A banker was in charge of food
and money distribution.
Three rounds were conducted.
During each round groups had to
make a payment to the bank.
