*** OFFICIAL VEISHEA WEEK 2014 THREAD ***

[Jer]

I think you are misunderstanding me. When I said their ego was bruised, I was referring to the fact that they allowed what you said to happen. They're pi$sed off about that and that they weren't able to respond by arresting the people throwing stuff at them. They aren't going to put up with any of that this weekend as long as the crowds are kept in check.

My bad, thanks for clarifying.

Where do you even get the cherry pies at? Never saw them in my four years of VEISHEA.

They were a big part of the tradition to many, my mom included, but they weren't exactly Food Network worthy

So what are the chances of Veishea getting cancelled next year?

Call it 60-40.

I think the rest of this week will have an impact on future VEISHEAs. If everyone is cool and there are no incidents, chances will likely improve. That being said, VEISHEA 2015 happening is probably pretty slim.


Another incident like last night is the kiss of death for VEISHEA beyond 2015.

Roughly 80-20.
It's garnered a pretty poor reputation.

Word from the VEISHEA meetings is that it won't come back named as VEISHEA

Bummer. Hopefully they can still have a festival.

I don't see how changing the name does anything. Students will just use that weekend to go crazy.

The only way to "fix" the issues is to have a semi police state during VEISHEA. It sucks but they have obviously proved they can't handle it this year.

Bring full VEISHEA official activities back and crack down on off campus issues.

The Ames HyVee's would rake it in if they made a bunch of these and sold them over the weekend.

Seriously how the **** do you turn this on the cops? Have you watched the videos of them getting glass bottles, garbage, and fireworks thrown at them and them showing great restraint? They acted incredibly well when they could have been like the rest of us and been at home with their families instead of out putting their ***** on the line in front of a mob of 2,000 drunk, violent kids.

How many were actually in this mob? They said 2004 was only 400, and each time I read about last night the number grows. 2000 really?

Also what was the actual damage done compared to 04.

Who were the ones arrested? Actual isu students this time? I see its two girls so far which is odd, and one dude.

I'm way behind on this due to a conference so I'm behind.

So might the people who usually sell them, if they do it off campus.

And where are these videos?

Quite the exaggeration there buddy

Pretty much any video you'd want is linked in this article (which happens to be written by an ISU alum that was one of my residents):
