Those students bored of the typical athletic teams now have the opportunity to join a sport most Americans have never heard of.

The Supreme Court agreed last week to review a challenge to California’s ban on the sale of violent video games to minors.

Weekly papers and quizzes, endless midterms, little time to study before finals begin – the downsides to the quarter system can seem endless.
