Quidditch game results in injury Penn State quidditch team captain Mary Beth Henry was taken to the hospital to receive stitches during the first match of the Quidditch World Cup but the team was able to overcome the injury and place ninth out of forty-six teams this past weekend. ‘ A lot of the other teams were much more experienced, but we were able to do just as well if not better than them," team member Samantha Mitchell (freshman-English) said. "We showed everyone that Penn State will be a major contender for next year's World Cup." On Saturday, the Penn State quidditch team narrowly lost its first match against University of Massachusetts Amherst by a margin of 40-30. Not feeling defeated even after Heniy's (junior-theater design and lighting) injury, Penn State fought back and won its next two matches against Virginia Commonwealth University and Lenox Memorial High School to advance to the second day of the tournament, quidditch team mem ber Tyler Thomas (freshman-biochemistry and molecular biology) said. Penn State defeated New York University on Sunday morning 70-30 and advanced to the next round of the tour nament. Thomas said. Four-time World Cup champion Middlebury College ultimately eliminated Penn State from the competition. Thomas said. Penn State quidditch team member Kelly Gambocurta said she has high hopes for next year's World Cup touma- "We will definitely be competing again next year. I’m really proud of how well we did after only practicing for two months. Some of the other teams have been estab lished for years." Gambocurta (sophomore-advertising) said. Gambocurta said the media also had an impact on the Quidditch World Cup. "It was crazy being constantly interviewed,” she said. "Pretty much the entire team was interviewed at one point or another.” The Quidditch World Cup was a positive experience for Thomas, he said. "The Quidditch World Cup completely exceeded my expectations. I read the ["Harry Potter"] books when I was younger, but I never dreamed of actually getting to be a part of this." Thomas said. "What other sport do you get tackled by the other team's seeker while getting bludgers thrown at you? I would definitely say that I fell in love with the sport." The tournament was also a great chance to interact with athletes from opposing teams. “It was awesome because we are all the same type of people." Gambocurta said. "It was so much fun and I made a lot of new friends. I can't wait for next year."

For the past few years we have had an outstanding resource on campus: Ronnie Burrage, whose resume reads like a Who’s Who of modern Jazz from McCoy Tyner to Wayne Shorter to Jaco Pastorius to Archie Shepp to Amiri Baraka, who performed with Burrage in Heritage Hall last month. Mr. Burrage has been teaching courses in World Music and Hip-Hop cross listed in African and African American Studies (AAAS) and Integrative Arts (INART) and helping the Jazz Club enhance it's programming as never before by creating opportunities for extended interaction of students through lectures and participation in performances. Burrage’s high-level influence on our programming has attracted the attention and generous co-sponsorship of not only AAAS and INART but also the Africana Research Center and Institute for Arts and Humanities, who have provided the supplemental funding required by the club's main funding source, UPAC. which allocates the student activity fees to all registered student organizations. Of M.K. Asante, Burrage says, "His work has a naturalness that flows like water from a well. He sent me his book, "It’s Bigger Than Hip - Hop" and I did not put it down until I finished it! It is insightful, humorous and very educational. So much that it is a reference for my course, "Hip - Hop Music and Culture". It is a must read for anyone wanting to understand the generations through the positive and negative after the birth of hip -hop. Professor Asante is a down to earth young man with trustworthy virtues, a huge plus in my book.
