Here's a look at the weekend's events: Frida, Oc. 3 • Rock Rally Friday evening in Warriner Hall's Plachta Auditorium Here are some thoughts Andrew Dost shared about his trip back to campus: What do you hope students and CMU alumni take away from having you as their homecoming grand marshal? "CMU gave me an education and experience that would have been applicable in any fi eld. I took courses on advertising, journalism and philosophy but ended up pursuing music. I guess I'd hope students would realize that they have many surprises ahead and to embrace them." Do you ever wear any CMU apparel when you're just kicking around and relaxing? "I golf in a CMU hat sometimes! I'll have to pick up some stuff when I'm back in town." Is there some food or restaurant available only in Mount Pleasant that you're hoping to enjoy when you're back? "My friends and I used to get frozen slabs of cookie dough from the Malt Shop. If those are still there, I'll probably eat a few." Do your bandmates Nate Ruess and Jack Antonoff know about your opportunity to serve as the homecoming grand marshal at your alma mater? Have they said anything to you about it? "They do and they think it's neat. It's very nice to be acknowledged by places you called home." • I hi ow word Homecomin Saturda, Oc. 4 • Alumni Relations hosts an alumni breakfast prior to the homecoming parade • Grammy award-winning musician and 2005 CMU alum Andrew Dost of fun. is the homecoming grand marshal and will ride in the annual homecoming parade Saturday morning • Alumni village will open three hours prior to kickoff • Tailgate lots will open four hours prior to kickoff • Cheer on the Chippewas as they take on the Ohio University Bobcats A more detailed schedule of events will be released when a game time is announced.
