Okay, so this would go against the attempt to keep drinking out of Veishea, but what about holding it the week of finals? Cut down on the celebrations during the week (but leave the outdoor food and inflatable games and such for students to relax and enjoy the weather for a while). Then make Friday and Saturday the big blast with good weather all but guaranteed, and it truly becomes a celebration of Iowa State honoring another successful academic year.

Possible concerns that I foresee would be the increased drinking (and outright disregard possibly resulting from occurring after classes), interference with graduation ceremonies (and on-campus student move-out), and preparation by student groups. The tradeoffs might be too much, but I'm curious to know others' opinions.
