New Mario Kart Map: Frist Campus Center

Emilio Campos '12 has a first name that sort of sounds like Mario. Therefore, it is only natural that he attire himself in Mario's iconic red-and-blue duds and take to Frist Campus Center in a rolly-chair, armed with cardboard Koopa shells and banana peels. For the uninitiated, these are the trademark weapons of Mario Kart, the ever-popular Nintendo video game series.On February 15th (evidently after embarking from an elevator full of poor unsuspecting older women), Campos and a friend rolled gleefully around Frist (with a megaphone, admittedly not part of the traditional Mario arsenal), squealing those classic squeals and blaring that classic soundtrack, lobbing peels and shells with giddy abandon. He did no less than three rounds and filled the room with (at best) smiles and (at worst) grimaces. I was there (see 1:38), I was smiling, and I bravely endured a shell to the face.But why? Apparently all fresh new sophomore members of Terrace Club have to do some sort of "offering" to the club. I think he chose wisely.
