Gearing up

The Booth family gets ready to cheer on the football Bears before the Oct. 28 game against Carnegie Mellon University. Arts & Sciences freshman Greg Booth (second from left) is flanked by his mother, Diana, and father, Tom. Courtney McElyea (right), a family friend, joined in the tailgating party, which took place near Francis Field as part of Parents Weekend. The Bears made it a game, but fell, 10-7, in overtime.
