Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I walk across campus to
my 8 a.m. class. And on Mondays and
Wednesdays, most of my classmates do the same. On Fridays, however, our classroom is routinely only a little over half

The word "Quidditch" typically invokes images of beaters, chasers and seekers from the "Harry Potter" series. Few think of concussions, broken bones, torn ligaments and
