Weekend Mardi Gras at UCLA Canceled
The Mardi Gras scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at UCLA has been canceled. A large number of students involved in the fund-raiser are instead taking part in relief efforts in the aftermath of the riots in Los Angeles, said Dave Olson, a UCLA student and executive director of the Mardi Gras celebration. Those who usually provide donations or supplies to the Mardi Gras are being asked to support the rebuilding effort.
