Emory's unofficial mascot rose from the dead to walk the campus on Monday, kicking off the annual celebration of Dooley's Week. Accompanied by his black-clad entourage, Dooley, the skeletal Lord of Misrule, heralds a week of activities based on this year's theme, "Dooleywood."
Dooley's Week continues through Saturday with these remaining events:
Wednesday, April 6
The Student Programming Council event "Old Hollywood" will be in Asbury Circle from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.
"During this event we will have a limo stationed for photos, King of Pops, popcorn, food trucks, as well as a station to create your own flip books," says Dooley's Week co-chair Emily Warner, 17B.
Another film screening, "Love Jones" from the Black Student Alliance, will be at 8 p.m. in Harland Cinema.

Comedian Pete Holmes performs at Glenn Memorial Auditorium, with doors opening at 7 p.m.
The Latino Student Organization hosts "Noche de Máscaras" from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. in Cox Hall Ballroom, bringing the community together to celebrate Latin culture with dancing, great desserts and a general good time, says Bessie Frias, 18C.

The Chainsmokers will be this year's artist for the Dooley's Ball concert, considered the highlight event of Dooley's Week. They will perform at McDonough Field at 8 p.m.
