At UMD, Quidditch Played on the Ground by Muggle Students
Local students compete in a non-magical version of a sport made popular by the 'Harry Potter' book series.
By Ben Oldach, Capital News Service The University of Maryland, along with hundreds of other colleges across the world, has adopted a sport that comes straight from a storybook: Quidditch. Quidditch was played by hundreds of witches and wizards in the magical world created by J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series.

Redskins Name Roundly Criticized as Racist During Smithsonian Event
By Kelyn Soong, Capital News Service
