Monday

Willy Week starts out with Willy's Picnic and a concert in the Central Quad from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Students should pick up a ticket for food from the serveries, which will be closed for Monday dinner. The tickets are free for students with a meal plan, and $5 for others. Lovett College sophomore Tristan Clement will DJ while the food is served, and then The Sour Notes and The Erin James Band will perform. The concert will be free and Rice Program Council will be giving out free water bottles. Tuesday

Beer Debates will be held starting at 8 p.m. in Willy's Pub. Associate Professor of English Jose Aranda, Professor of Earth Science and Chemistry Andreas Luttge, and Director of Bands Chuck Throckmorton will answer a series of questions posed by Jones College sophomore Michael Paras. Send an e-mail to Sara Millimet, sam3 [at] rice.edu, beforehand with questions the professors can debate or take your chances and try to ask a question yourself at the event.

Wednesday

Beer Bike Trivia will be held starting at 11 p.m. in Willy's Pub. This will be similar to most Pub Trivia nights, but with four Willy Week shirts to be given away by Rice Program Council.

Thursday

The 80th anniversary celebration of Willy's statue, with free cake, will be held in the Academic Quad from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., thanks to the President's Office and the Centennial Celebration. There will also be video showings at 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. in the Kyle Morrow room in Fondren Library, and at 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. at the BioScience Research Collaborative. International Beer Night is from 10 p.m. - 2 a.m. at Willy's Pub, with beers from around the world and pizza subsidized by the Annual Fund.

Friday

Those not interested in sticking around on campus can go to see Houston Ballet's "American at Heart." Ask your college RPC representative to get a ticket, or go to the Information Desk at the student center on Monday to try to get any extras. Otherwise, fill up as many water balloons as you can.

Saturday

Start your day bright and early so you can defend your college's honor during the Beer Bike Parade at 10:30 a.m. Students will show off their hard work from the weeks past by throwing as many water balloons at each other as possible. This will be followed by Beer Bike itself, which this year features four different races: the alumni race at 12:40 p.m.; the Duncan/McMurtry exhibiition race at 1:25; the women's race at 2:10; the men's race at 3. There will also be pizzas and tacos.

All Week

Willy Week shirts will be available for $5, and Beer Bike belt buckles will be available for $7, or you can buy both for $10.

Housing and Dining will charge colleges for use of custodial staff and contractors due to damages caused by events such as jacks and private parties.

Voice of Willy Week Michael Paras will serve as master of ceremonies for official RPC events.
