ADM: What qualifies as a game?

[Kay Goss <fup001@MAIL.CONNECT.MORE.NET>]

        We have a Win NT WAN with IBM workstations throughout the district.
I have ten stations in the library.  I want my computers to be used for
research and word processing.  Students have learned how to download games
from the internet and play games across the network.  Our computer lab
teachers allow games such as Quake which is in especially poor taste now
since the Littleton shooting.
I have asked the lab teachers to take the share off the games folder so the
students cannot play across the network.  They have not.  We have 5 days
left so I have turned off my computers to avoid any more trouble here at
inventory, state report time.

My questions are these:

Does your district allow any games?
What qualifies as a game?  Number Munchers, Treasure Mountain, Grand Theft
Auto, Oregon Trail, Quake?

Any suggestions?  TIA
