Relay For Life is this weekend. From 6 p.m. Saturday until 6 a.m. Sunday, an estimated 1,800 students, faculty, staff and community members will join together on Francis Field for a night of celebrating, remembering and fighting back against cancer. Will you be there? As Friday’s edition of Student Life highlighted, Mardi Gras is also this Saturday.

This past weekend, we took a 24-hour trip to Ann Arbor, Michigan not only to experience the wildly, infamous pre-football game parties, but also to check out how this state school’s typical Saturday compares to ours.

Coming off a rough 2009 season, the Washington University football team looks to start this year off on the right foot Saturday night against Knox College at Francis Field.
