My memories of VEISHEA include waking up fairly early to attend the parade on Saturday morning.
One of the best parts of VEISHEA is ISU’s campus, which is beautiful (ours is too) and brings back fond memories for me. It even offers numerous shadowed nooks and crannys to which one (or two) can sneak off to do whatever one or two might do.
ISU has taken a different approach this year, concentrating the majority of events and vendors to the campus in order to separate VEISHEA from the bars in hopes of curtialing any potential incident, something Jensen isn’t worried about from our students.

The year was 1922, and the VEISHEA Central Committee was meeting for the first time.
They met at Beardshear (the Memorial Union hadn’t been built yet), and for each meeting they had to ask a janitor to help them find and unlock a room.
The answer was a resounding “yes!” Not only did the student planners combine the first letter of each division to name the festival, they also wove together a combination of traditions that has stuck: College open houses, a student musical performance (now called “Stars Over VEISHEA”), canoe races, a parade, and, of course, cherry pies.
