With last year’s fall W.I.L.D. yielding the highest number of injuries in recent history, alcohol consumption was bound to be a concern this year. But now, some students are worried that the date of W.I.L.D., Friday, Sept. 16, could contribute to even more injuries.

W.I.L.D. will take place on Friday, September 16, Team 31 announced via Facebook and Twitter. W.I.L.D., or Walk In Lay Down, a concert that takes place once a semester, is earlier this year than in the past.

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros will headline this spring’s Walk In Lay Down concert on April 29, Team 31 announced early Friday morning. The group has also booked Flying Lotus, a techno DJ, as an opener for the concert in the Brookings Quadrangle.

10 a.m. –Wake up with kegs and eggs. 11 – Play a drinking game that your state school friends, for all their Monday night drinking, don’t know about. Alligator? The Mustache Game? Take your pick. 11:40 – Time to assess your drunkenness. Try to walk all the straight lines on the basketball court on the Swamp.

Digital Logic, otherwise known as Jeremy Klein, out-dueled the other finalists earlier this month to win the first ever WU DJ Battle, earning him a chance to DJ at W.I.L.D. along with DJ Keeno.
