What we have to realize is that this great tradition was ruined by a bunch of idiotic high school kids rushing into Ames and causing issues. Don't get me wrong, ISU students caused their fair share of problems over the years, but when you looked at the blotters after the event MOST of the people were out of town, non-students. No matter when they decide to have VEISHEA, early, late, whenever, that problem will probably not go away. That is unless they have crappy weather and no one shows up, like this year.
