Hey, wait! If you haven’t read the first part – than you should check it out right away! You don’t have to go anywhere – it’s right here!
College students faced with the words ‘Exam Week’ often exert an astonishing amount of creative energy entirely unrelated to their studies. Intense academic pressure minus classes equals a torrent of silliness and novel ways of letting off steam.
Other creative activities are the result of the ‘retort’ effect of a mass of brilliant kids thrown together in overheated dorms and laboratories. An earlier article examined some of these sports, games, and pastimes. Let’s continue our examination of intramural silliness with a few more off-the-wall collegiate sports and activities
Luther University, IA – Black light Volleyball
In a fully darkened play space, white-shirted players compete with glow-in-the-dark volleyballs under ultraviolet lights. Just visualizing this generates a giggle. Although not mentioned in Luther University’s website, the possibilities for audience snuggling sound encouraging. With all the surprise features of laser tag, minus the expense and specialized equipment, this fun sport is spreading.
Middlebury College, VT – Muggle Quidditch
Sadly, this sport does not involve actual flying broomsticks. However, this rough, high-speed game does have three types of balls, three player positions, hoops, and a neutral player known as “the Snitch” who runs around the field being pursued by “Seekers”.
To reproduce the aerial and unfettered scope and feeling of the Hogwart’s wizard sport, the Snitch” actually is allowed to run far outside the field of play. Muggle Quidditch is also played at Emerson, Boston University, and University of Pittsburgh. Given the popularity of the Harry Potter movie series, it will likely spread throughout the Muggle world. With some assiduous effort, perhaps some clever science students can get it airborne soon.
