What Would You Rename VEISHEA?

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Gotta go with New VEISHEA, and then after a few years of everyone hating it we reintroduce VEISHEA Classic. Profit.

Well since they'll be neutering it anyways, might as well call it Diet VEISHEA, or VEISHEA Lite.

Seriously, it seems like a joke to try to think of new names. It isn't about the name. The name VEISHEA has just come to be associated with something that remains, whether or not we have a Spring event (or a Fall or Winter or Summer), namely young people like to gather, drink, and have riotous or near riotous experiences. The same problems could easily happen after a Tuesday night basketball game victory if the weather is nice.

I disagree. There's a reason everybody was standing around chanting "VEISHEA" when the light posts were being torn down this year. I wasn't on campus for this riot but I was for the 2004 riot, and I remember that everybody was just waiting for a riot to happen that year. There's a link between VEISHEA and rioting. Sure rebranding it and making some changes won't fix everything. But removing that link will go a long way towards fixing the problem.
