Pretty sure it's spelled VIESHA now.

Creative spelling taught in elementary school at work.

I've actually seen it spelled that way by students more often than it was spelled the correct way.

Eh...that might be the ones that place the emphasis on the drinking instead of the celebration of the original colleges.

That's the way it's spelled by those kids who go to naked twister parties.

So what was the final tally. Was it pretty much like any other weekend at ISU or were there a whole bunch more arrests?

Here's last week's police blotter

Looks like a few noise complaints/loud parties on Friday and Saturday. very few operating while intoxicated and public intox tickets given. I don't know how that compares to a normal week, but it looks pretty tame on the whole, although apparently there was an airplane crash on Sunday.

Wait, I thought canceling VEISHEA would never work? That students would organize their own pseudo-VEISHEA and nothing would really change?

That blotter shows just how shutting things down indefinitely was the right move. If this was all the rowdier student-organized stuff got in the first year, imagine how tame it'll be in 5 years. Then the university can seriously consider bringing it back (maybe even gradually; bring the parade back the first year and then more of the other stuff over the following 2-3 years), once the student body no longer equates the event with rioting.

However, Leach will play it safe. Like CPR before halftime.

And apparently shots fired on my street without me noticing.

Just wait till next year! At least that is what many of us Cyclones are good at saying.

The title is probably a little misleading then if you didn't notice. I had a roommate who got in trouble for shooting squirrels/rabbits with a 22 at our place in Ames and it showed up as shots fired at our address in the police blotter.

Local TV stations probably ****** off because they had all of last years riot video ready to rerun again and again but didn't get to.
