Quidditch sweeps campus

David Gibellin, left, a sophomore from Chicago studying communication disorders, and Dalton Shaffer, right, a sophomore from Mattoon studying physiology, participate in a seeker drill during Saluki Quidditch practice Monday at Sam Rinella Field. The Saluki Quidditch team is a Registered Student Organization founded in March 2012. The club plays the game of Quidditch similar to the style of the sport from the “Harry Potter” series, and has participated in regional tournaments since becoming an official International Qudditch Association team in the fall 2012 semester. The team practices from 5-7 p.m. every Monday and Thursday and from 1-4 p.m. every Saturday at Sam Rinella Field.
