So I'm sick of seeing the car chase thread at the top of the "Campus Life" area of the forums. You students planning a massive "non-VEISHEA" party this week? Someone got a dumpster ready to light?? Stick it to the man!
I lived through "Dry" VEISHEA only to have another riot shortly after it went back to normal. I don't understand why it had to turn into an excuse to riot every year.
It's supposed to be about celebrating the university. Kids enjoying a parade, free bands, and hanging out with your friends. I had way more fun sitting on my lawn, drinking, playing cards, and people watching, than I ever would have rioting and breaking stuff.

Still don't see how a parade for the kids would have hurt anything....hell call it something other than Veishea.
Good gosh, the crabby pants crowd sniffed this thing out quickly.
I agree on the parade needing to come back, it was a nice showcase for ISU and brought the Ames community in to check things out each year.

In the future, plan your festivities around the spring game. That was a highlight of the week for me.
I'm glad the old folks got another opportunity to sit on their high horse in this thread.
What is veishea?
