1907 The first May Day festival is held. This event was absorbed into VEISHEA in 1922, along with a St. Patrick's day celebration, Home Economics Club day and an Ag Carnival.

4 | VEISHEA | Iowa State Daily | Friday, April 15th 2011

Whether you’re an alum returning for a relaxing VEISHEA weekend, a student with family in town, or just simply prefer to avoid the “unofficial” side of VEISHEA, there are plenty of family-friendly events going on throughout VEISHEA weekend.

1The parade — It’s the ultimate family-friendly VEISHEA tradition, dating back to the birth of

VEISHEA in 1922. Featuring two traditional floats, which take months to build, and Johhny Orr as grand marshal, the 2011 VEISHEA parade won’t disappoint.

2Taste of VEISHEA — Not only is the food indulgent and cheap — think a sampling of the Iowa State

Fair a few months early — the Union drive location of-fers picturesque lounging near Lake Laverne.

3Stars Over VEISHEA presents “Kiss me Kate” — The play about an egotistical director is being

shown by Stars Over VEISHEA for the third time since 1964. Brad Dell, assistant professor of theater, directs the student play.

4Cherry pies — This tradition predates VEISHEA itself, and the proceeds go to a good cause - schol-

arships for the department of hotel, institution and restaurant management. Not to mention, the petite pies are quite tasty.

5VEISHEA Village and Ames Neighborhood — Celebrate the original purpose of VEISHEA — to

honor the colleges, departments and clubs of Iowa State, as well as the Ames community. This year there will be about 75 unique exhibits around campus.

6Pancake feed — Whether your carb craving comes late at night or early in the morning, the pancake

feeds are perennial favorites. Just don’t be surprised if your flapjacks are served by flinging through the air.

7Football spring game — Why wait until fall to re-turn to Jack Trice?

8Tournaments — Though it may be too late to reg-ister, the tournaments going on throughout the

weekend can still be fun to watch. Canoe races on Lake Laverne should be particularly entertaining.

9International Food Fair — With a sampling of foods from different cultures, the International

Food Fair is a unique addition to the tradition.

10Carnival — If rides are your thing, you’re prob-ably already there. If rides aren’t your thing,

there’s still plenty going on at Molecular Biology throughout the weekend — it’s worth the trek.

For a full calendar of the weekend’s events, see page 26 - 29.

Chairmen play unique role in planningThough the entire university and

community come together to cel-ebrate VEISHEA, two students play a unique role in planning the cel-ebration each year. BJ Brugman and Michael Weber are the general chair-men for VEISHEA 2011.

Brugman is a junior in agricul-tural business from Royal, a town of about 400 people. However, he said transitioning to Iowa State wasn’t difficult.

“It shrinks down pretty quickly,” he said.

Joining a fraternity, Alpha Gamma Rho, and becoming involved with his college helped Brugman find friends with common interests.

His involvement has been diverse: During the past three years, Brugman has worked with Alumni Relations and Membership for Alpha Gamma Rho, been involved with Jr. Greek Council — now Emerging Greek Leaders — is a recruitment and mo-rale chairman for Dance Marathon, the treasurer for Cardinal Key honors society, a women’s basketball scout and has been involved with 4H and Future Farmers of America.

Brugman became involved with VEISHEA his freshman year by join-ing the Entertainment Committee. He said it was both fun and a lot of pressure, since so many people in VEISHEA and on campus are inter-ested in what the entertainment will be.

“If you want to get hooked on something, join the Entertainment Committee,” Brugman said.

His second year, Brugman was an entertainment chairman, before be-coming a general chairman this year.

He credited his house with push-ing him to get involved early. He said that although members of Alpha Gamma Rho are involved in many things, most of them become in-volved with VEISHEA at some point. When Brugman came into the house as a freshman, one of the members, Mark Pierce, was a general chairman. Brugman said he looked up to Pierce as a leader and a friend.

“It’s such an honor to lead the event my house is so passionate about,” Brugman said.

Weber, senior in family finance, housing and policy, had a different experience. Growing up in Ames, he attended VEISHEA events on and off every year.

However, he became much more interested after being selected as a VEISHEA scholar his senior year of high school and spending VEISHEA on campus.

“I saw what it was all about and thought it was something interest-ing,” Weber said.

His freshman year, he joined the Catering Committee, which coordi-nates the late-night feeds and other events. His second year was spent on the Operations Committee, as the ca-tering liaison, and he spent the follow-ing two years as the business manager before becoming a general chairman.

He has also been very involved in different areas of campus. After stay-ing at Acacia fraternity as a VEISHEA scholar and getting to know the guys, he joined freshman year.

In 2009, the 100th anniversary of the ISU chapter, he was the house president and in charge of oversee-ing the celebration. Weber is also one of two undergraduate counselors for the International Undergraduate Council, a position he will maintain through summer 2012.

“If I had not joined a greek house, I really don’t know if I would have been as involved as I was,” Weber said.

He credited the friendship and personal support offered, as well as the fact that they “bombard you with opportunities.”

Weber also serves as vice speaker for the GSB Senate. He said it came as a surprise when he was elected by a handful of people, but he has got-ten more involved over the past three years.

“It’s been very enjoyable. Working with different student groups and learning about the university and how it works has been interesting,” he said.

Weber:The concerts: he said adding a second night to the lineup is a great addition to the celebration.

Brugman:Brugman was also looking forward to the added night of concerts, as well as the Stars Over VEISHEA play, “Kiss Me Kate” — a play he had participated in in high school.

grounds and with different personalities, the two chair-men have found a complemen-tary balance.

“Weber and I complement each other well. He rolls his eyes at me a lot,” Brugman said.

As business manager, Weber had experience work-ing with all facets of VEISHEA, building up a strong base of in-ternal knowledge.

“He can answer just about any question you have for him,” Brugman said about Weber. “I’m kind of a dreamer. Like, ‘What if we,’ and Weber can recall, ‘Well, they tried something like that.’”

Brugman described himself as more of the spokesperson.

“He’s the more outgo-ing type,” Weber said. “We definitely complement each other well, both in knowl-edge about VEISHEA and our personalities.”

“They are very much a complement to each other,” said Gail Ferlazzo, associ-ate director of the Memorial

Union and one of two advisers for VEISHEA.

Ferlazzo described Weber as being very detail oriented, and Brugman as more likely to ask questions and bring cre-ative new ideas.

She said she has advised

six sets of VEISHEA chair-persons, and not all of them worked together so well.

Both have had to face ad-justments in stepping into the general chairman role. Ferlazzo described the job as being “the face of VEISHEA,” because the committees do a lot of the legwork, but the chairmen deal with everything in the end.

For Brugman, it was about learning to see the big picture. He said when he was involved with the Entertainment Committee, it was all about planning for those specific events, but the chairmen’s job is to check in on everything and help wherever possible.

He said the experience has helped him to learn about

being a leader and communi-cating with different types of people.

“I’ve had the opportunity to work under some great lead-ers that have given me a good experience, and I hope others can say the same about my run,” Brugman said.

Weber said one of the chal-lenges in his transition has been to let go of the business manager role, and not overstep the current manager.

Ferlazzo said that he has known to “very respectfully” defer to Andy DeBoard, the current business manager, when necessary.

Though they have both played huge roles in the VEISHEA celebration, they both said one of their favorite things was seeing how many people are involved and getting to interact with many aspects of the university.

“It’s interesting to see how many different people have a hand in bringing this week’s celebration together,” Brugman said. “Like, holy cow ... this is the whole university, city, everything.”

The chairmen work closely with their advisers and com-mittee members to plan the celebration.

Brugman said the advis-ers — Ferlazzo and George Micalone, director of the Student Activities Center — are trusted resources in any situation. In their time togeth-er, they have built a personal relationship through their shared passion for VEISHEA.

Ferlazzo said choosing the committee chairmen is very important because they do so much of the planning.

The chairmen agreed that their VEISHEA legacy may be a subtle one.

“I love seeing that the event keeps growing and continuing to improve on what it offers,” Weber said. “We keep adding small things to the event, but overall, it’s VEISHEA.”

Brugman said they have fo-cused on leaving VEISHEA in a strong place to move into the future.

For example, VEISHEA has been working to make their budget entirely self-suf-ficient during the past several

years.“Sometimes the things

you’re most proud of might not be the most visible on the sur-face,” Brugman said.

“You don’t have to have just the best VEISHEA ever to leave your mark. Obviously you want everything to go smoothly, for people to have a great time, for the weather to be good.”

“Ultimately, that’s the goal: for the people to enjoy the cel-ebration,” he said.

Brugman said he would continue to be involved with VEISHEA in his senior year, but probably not in the chair-man role.

After graduating, he plans to attend law school, but he isn’t sure if he’ll go right away or wait a few years.

For Weber, who has spent the past three years involved with VEISHEA year-round, graduating in the spring will be bittersweet.

“It’s going to feel weird once this year is over,” he said.

However, Weber plans to stay in Ames for the next year if he can.

Being on the entertainment committee provides some behind the scene moments — he’s also treated Motion City Soundtrack to Taco Bell. Starr had been showing off his unique talent late at night in the restaurant, but swallowing and coughing up a salt shaker was the final straw for the man-ager, who freaked.

Weber:The campus barbecues — “I’m a sucker for food,” he said. Weber also said there are so many memories, it’s hard to choose one.

This year Iowa State will be hav-ing its 89th VEISHEA Parade. The parade will be hosting 100 differ-ent entries, put together by different students organizations, fraternities/sororities, community members and local businesses.

“The VEISHEA Parade is always a favorite for students, alumni and community members. The parade has changed over the years but is still a great opportunity for all student or-ganizations to showcase their group,” said Annie Olson, senior in math and VEISHEA Parade chairman. “We have a lot of groups this year that have been participating in the VEISHEA Parade for many years.”

The majority of the entries are student organizations and local businesses.

The different entries include bal-loons, bands, traditional floats, non-

traditional floats, performances and specialty units.

This year there are two floats in the “traditional” category. A budget to build a traditional float can be up to $10,000, and they take a lot of time to prepare and build.

Members of the greek community are building both of the traditional floats in the parade this year. Delta Tau Delta, Delta Delta Delta and Pi Beta Phi are one of the pairings that will be taking on the challenge of cre-ating a traditional float completely from scratch.

“Working on the VEISHEA float is a very long process, we usually have [chairpersons] elected in January and are drawing up ideas and fund-raising from day one,” said Nathan Easley, VEISHEA float chairman for Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.

Delta Tau Delta has been partici-pating and creating traditional floats for the VEISHEA Parade for many years. The house has been recognized for their efforts many times by win-ning the first place trophy for the last

Johnny Orr, the winningest men’s basketball coach in Iowa State’s his-tory, will be the grand marshal for the VEISHEA 2011 Parade.

“A grand marshal is kind of the face of any given parade,” said Wes Strohbehn, junior in agricultural studies and parade chairman.

“They’re the person we honor, and we would like to recognize for any sort of award or for any sort of achievement.”

When choosing a grand mar-shal, the committee looked for three things: Someone who is recognizable by both current students and alumni, someone who made an impact on Iowa State and someone who has a good reputation and reflects well on Iowa State.

The committee ultimately decid-ed upon Orr.

Orr was the basketball coach for the men’s basketball team from 1980

to 1994. During his time as coach, he led the team to 218 wins and 200 losses.

“[Orr is] often regarded as the best coach in [ISU] men’s basketball his-tory,” Strohbehn said. “He’s kind of recognized as the person who started ‘Hilton Magic.’”

“Hilton Magic” was coined by a journalist after Orr led the Cyclones to a victory over the third-ranked Missouri in 1989. The headline read, “Hilton Magic Spells ‘Upset’ One More Time.” In his career, Orr was helped many times by Hilton Magic.

In his fifth season as coach, Orr led Iowa State to its first NCAA Tournament appearance.

He would go on to coach the team to a total of six NCAA Tournaments in his 14 years at Iowa State. In 1986, Iowa State beat the fifth ranked Michigan team and moved onto the Sweet 16.

“Another reason why we thought [Orr] would be a good fit for this year is because ‘Johnny’s’ at Hilton was

also opened this year,” Strohbehn said.

“Johnny’s”, a sports bar-themed gathering area for donors, is located on Hilton’s east side where the coach-es’ offices for the men’s and women’s basketball teams used to be.

The area holds up to 500 people and the flooring is game floor from State Gym.

There is also a trophy case with memorabilia from Orr’s career and a statue of Orr.

“[‘Johnny’s’ opening] kind of fit hand in hand in honoring him as the grand marshal,” Strohbehn said.

As the grand marshal, Orr may make a few remarks at the opening and closing ceremonies.

Ultimately though, the main point of recognizing Orr as the grand mar-shal is to honor him for his contribu-tions to Iowa State.

“It was just one of the things we did to recognize [Orr] as an excellent coach and an outstanding member of the [ISU] community.”

20 years. Creating a VEISHEA

Parade float is a longstanding tradition for Delta Tau Delta and its members.

The fraternity is able to participate with help from dif-ferent businesses who donate to their efforts.

“The completion of the VEISHEA parade is very big for our house and we love do-ing it. We hope businesses will continue supporting us and keep our tradition running strong,” Easley said.

This year the fraternity will be putting in hundreds of hours of work on a tradi-tional float with their pairing and keep their tradition alive. The traditional floats take a lot of time and money to put together but they are continu-ally a crowd favorite for the VEISHEA Parade.

“We have many groups entering traditional and non-traditional floats as well as bands, performance units, and balloons giving the parade the diversity we strive for,” Olson said.

The VEISHEA carnival is a popular event for people of all ages. Behind the rides and games, the Smith family works to keep it all running smoothly.

Steve and Vicki Smith live on a farm in Stratford. In the late 1980s, the Smith family realized that the farming busi-ness in America was beginning to decline.

Instead of twiddling their thumbs and watching their seeds grow, the family decided to enter into another business: the carnival business.

“Basically, it was in the 1980s, and we owned farm ground ... and farming wasn’t the best,” Vicki said.

“We knew the carnival business, and so we started buying rides and games, and started our own carnival that we could do in the summer time — get the crops in, go out

on the road and do the rides, and then be home to get the crops out in the fall.”

The Smith family has a long history in the carnival business.

In fact, Steve’s father owned a carnival in the 1960s.

When the farming busi-ness became sour in the 1980s, Steve and Vicki decided to follow in Steve’s father’s footsteps, and begin Smith’s Amusement.

“Before we had rides, we had food stands,” Vicki said. “Our son and daughter-in-law now run the food stands.”

When they starting buy-ing rides, the Smiths first pur-chased four kiddie rides: an inflatable pillow, a pig train, a boat ride and a fire truck ride.

“About every other year, we would buy a new ride, and we started buying larger rides,” Vicki said.

“Now, we own 12 rides, but we usually carry about 8 or 10,”

she said.The Smiths buy rides from

all over the country. In the past, they have purchased rides in Iowa, Minnesota and Oregon. Currently, they are purchasing a giant slide from Schaller.

“We look for rides that can ride a lot of different people at one time, so you can fill your rides up with a lot of riders,” Vicki said.

Traveling a 100-mile ra-dius around Stratford, the Smiths attend several town festivals and county fairs in the summer.

With the help of 20 hired employees, Vicki and Steve must transport their rides from their farm to every loca-tion they need to go.

Vicki said that this takes a lot of time and effort.

“It’s not just operating the rides when they’re opened; we’ve got to get them there, set them up, and then tear them down,” Vicki said. “So yeah,

it’s a lot of work, but it’s a good family business.”

In addition to summer fairs and festivals, Smith’s Amusement also operates at VEISHEA. This will be the company’s fourth year at VEISHEA.

“For VEISHEA, we plan to bring 6 or 8 rides in,” Vicki said. “We try to bring in rides that ride mainly adults, since that’s what we have at VEISHEA.”

For VEISHEA, they an-ticipate bringing some popular rides like the Sizzler, similar to a scrambler; the Dizzy Dragon; like a tilt-a-whirl; and the Sidewinder, a swinging chair ride.

For VEISHEA 2011, the carnival will be held in the Molecular Biology parking lot. It will run 5 p.m. to midnight April 15, and 11:30 a.m. to mid-night April 16.

Tickets are $1 each, and the rides will cost between two and four tickets.

Each year, VEISHEA brings in thousands of people from around the community to join in on the celebration, giving Ames Police and ISU Police another reason to pro-vide protection and services to the citizens in Ames.

“The influx of these num-bers of people coming into our community — literally thou-sands of people — it makes a difference. When you have that many people, it creates issues,” said Jim Robinson, investigations commander for Ames Police.

VEISHEA begins on a Monday and fills the week with contests, comedians, hypnotists, concerts and other entertainment until the fol-lowing Saturday.

“The event being spread out over several days makes it a tougher issue too versus hav-ing it over a weekend,” said Sgt. Elliot Florer, ISU Police.

You can look at it similarly to a home game for an Iowa State v. Iowa football game, thousands of people come to attend the game and thou-sands of people come to attend VEISHEA, Robinson said.

From the law enforcement angle, planning and prepara-tion begin early in hopes of having a safe and successful VEISHEA.

“Realistically, we start preparing for the event the next year immediately after VEISHEA has concluded. It’s a major undertaking,” Robinson said.

“But in all reality the ma-jority of our preparation begins about three months before the event. After the first of the year is when we really ramp up and start putting pieces together for handling that many people coming into the community.”

“Beyond normal training, we plan to have extra officers at every event who will also work longer shifts to ensure safety and certainty that every event is covered,” Florer said. “We work with Ames Police and Story County Sherriff’s to make certain of this.”

VEISHEA meetings are held and committees are formed between Ames Police and ISU Police. The two work in conjunction with Story County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa State Patrol, Robinson and Florer said.

“Working in conjunction with other law enforcement agencies provides a large un-der-taking. There are a higher number of arrests that week-end than there are on a typical weekend throughout the year,” Robinson said.

Whether you are walk-ing around campus or driving through the neighborhoods, it will be certain that several of-ficers can be spotted to ensure each citizen’s protection.

“We have enhanced patrols that are out. We have our ‘foot teams’, where our officers are walking around, we have our bicycle team, our Segway team and we have motor units that are out in both marked and unmarked vehicles,” Robinson said.

Rumor has it that a large number of issues and arrests come from people unrelated to the university. This could mean they are students of other schools or family that comes to visit. However, Ames Police and ISU Police don’t in-vestigate in specific informa-tion such as how the arrestee is affiliated.

“It’s hard to articulate ex-actly who is and who is not related to the university. It’s not something that we inves-tigate when an arrest is made whether that individual is con-nected to [Iowa State] or not,” Robinson said. “

Sometimes it’s easy to tell if they provide an address that’s within the residence halls or community, but a lot of times an arrestee will give their home address where they’re from.”

Students of Iowa State and the visitors they bring to the event have an equal chance at getting arrested.

There is nothing that would make the two be treated differently, Florer said.

“There’s a good number

of people who are related to the university and who are not that both get arrested,” Robinson said.

“We want everyone to act responsibly, it’s a celebration that we don’t want to turn ugly,” Robinson said.

“We’ve had some VEISHEAs in the past that had a different face at night compared to what was going on during the day. We want it to where we can treat every-

one and have everyone be able to have a good time.”

When attending each of the events during VEISHEA week, know that officers will be in cars, on foot and riding bicycles and Segways in order to ensure safety. Arrests will be made when necessary.

Being responsible and fol-lowing the law will assure that the event is a success and limit the number of arrests that are made.

Grown-Up And Still Having FUN!

VEISHEA is a time for celebrating. For some, it marks the end of a first year. For others, it’s become a tradition that symbolizes

the essence of Iowa State. Either way, it is something that everyone should

experience and in the best way possible. So here are some dos and don’ts to making

VEISHEA fun and safe.

Do go see the bands. You pay $10 to see eight differ-ent bands within two nights; that opportunity doesn’t come around very often. Just make sure you’re in the right “mind set” to make the trek to the Molecular Biology parking lot safely.

Don’t wander off on your own just because you want to see the bands and your friends don’t. There are thousands of people on campus that weekend, and your friends don’t want to spend their night tracking you down.

The pancake feed is a must. Go with your friends to central campus anytime between midnight and 3 a.m. Saturday night/Sunday morning to get your fill of breakfast items

Do make it a challenge to try as many different foods from vendors as possible. You can’t lose with

something fried and on a stick or huge walking tacos. If nothing else, do it to support the local businesses.

If you’re feeling “under the weather,” don’t blow your entire day’s meal all over Lincoln Way. It’s not cool, and the cops won’t find it very entertaining.

Do try to get up for the parade on Saturday. If you want a good feel for the Ames community, the parade is the place to see it. Students, families, alumni and community members all come out that day to cel-ebrate VEISHEA and Iowa State.

Don’t be a homebody the week of VEISHEA. It’s the perfect excuse to celebrate all week long, and it only happens once a year.

Do get signed up for one of the VEISHEA tour-naments. There’s every form of competition offered, ranging from sand volleyball to canoe races. So get some friends together and compete to win prizes.

Don’t be an angry drunk. Getting into a full-out wrestling match on Welch Avenue or starting a cat fight for no apparent reason doesn’t make you look tough, it just makes you look dumb.

Do take full advantage of everything VEISHEA has to offer. It’s one of those traditions that makes this school what it is. Don’t be afraid to get a little wild and have fun, but be safe and smart about it.

Three strikes and you’re out.

There is a new event this coming VEISHEA that is similar to the show “Cash Cab” on the Discovery Channel. However, this Cash Cab will be called Cy Cab.

The Cy Cab will take place in a golf cart.

The Cy Cab will be driv-ing around campus during VEISHEA and towards the end of the week.

“It is a fun event for stu-dents and the community to

participate in and win prizes for answering questions cor-rectly,” said Hayley Osenbaugh, senior in hotel, restaurant and institution management and special events coordinator for VEISHEA.

Students will be picked up in the Cy Cab and asked ques-tions related to VEISHEA and Iowa State.

As students get questions correct they will win prizes. The more questions students answer correctly the longer they will get to cruise around. The goal is to get all the way to your class on the Cy Cab, but if you answer three wrong then

your time is up.The Cy Cab will be driv-

ing around campus 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

“If you see the Cy Cab [golf cart] that is labeled Cy Cab, jump in,” Osenbaugh said.

“We will be asking stu-dents and community mem-bers if they would like a ride to their destination, and if they do, then they can participate,” Osenbaugh said.

“It will be fun and worth students time to participate — but study your VEISHEA history so you can win great prizes and a free ride to class..

The ISU Alumni Relations Committee is in-troducing a new event for VEISHEA this year, VEISHEA VIP.

The program was created in hopes of wel-coming more alumni back to campus during VEISHEA and give them a “backstage, behind-the-scene” experience of Iowa State.

Halley Stille, VEISHEA Alumni Relations chairwoman and a senior in French, said the program is intended to show the alumni return-ing to the campus “things that have changed and what is going on now.”

The VIP program will take place April 16 and will have several events the participants can attend. The programs will show a variety of things around ISU including the Department of Residence, Memorial Union, College of Design, the Society of Carillon Alumni and Friends, University Archives, Special Collections and a few others.

Along with these programs, VIP participants will receive priority seats during the VEISHEA Parade and the Groove drum line performance. After the Groove performance the partici-pants will also be able to meet and talk to the drummers.

“The programs are all optional, so the VIPs

don’t have to go to all of them if they have some-thing else they would like to do,” Stille said. “They are just a supplement to the VEISHEA experience.”

The program is hoping for around 50 people to participate for its first year.

“It’s a big learning experience. We’ve been concentrating on making this a solid product, finding rooms and scheduling the programs, and in the upcoming weeks we’re going to start recruiting more,” Stille said.

Entrance in the program is available to any alumni that wish to participate.

Stille said the program is hoping to show alumni that the university appreciates any con-tributions they get, not just the “big name” ones.

“Whether it’s $5 or $50, we want to show we do appreciate support for [Iowa State] and for VEISHEA,” Stille said.

Registration for VEISHEA VIP can be found under the Alumni tab on the VEISHEA website. The registration is free and only requires basic information. Passes for VEISHEA VIP can be picked up the day of the event at a tent located next to the VEISHEA Information Booth on Central Campus between 9 and 10:30 a.m.

For additional information or to have ques-tions answered about the program Stille can be reached by email at [email protected].

Braving the rain and snow in order to do their part, 360 students and staff gathered at Hilton Coliseum on March 8 to break the world record for the greatest number of people to play the basketball game of knockout for the Guinness Book of World Records.

“Growing up I always read the Guinness Book of World Records,” said Ryan Lueck, senior in meteorology. “I just thought it would be really neat to be able to take part.”

The idea to break the knockout record came to Brian Capesius, senior in mechani-cal engineering, in May.

Stuck on the couch after having knee surgery, he had plenty of time to make plans for the upcoming year. One task was planning what to do for VEISHEA Tournaments 2011.

“When the idea came to me, there was no such record,” Capesius said.

“Since then there has been a record set by a high school, then George Washington University, and currently it’s being held by James Madison University.”

Capesius talked with Blake Woebbeking, senior in agri-cultural business, who was also working with him on VEISHEA Tournaments.

Hilton Coliseum approved the contest and in mid-Feb-ruary they began having two meetings a week with the rest of the VEISHEA Executive Committee for about a month to plan the event.

“VEISHEA has a lot of traditions, such as the pa-rade, but the VEISHEA Tournaments really don’t have any traditions,” Capesius said. “I thought this would be a great way to get students in-volved and since we’re having

it before VEISHEA it would be a good way to raise some awareness.”

After planning the event the only thing they had left to do was gain publicity.

“A lot of people found out about this from Facebook,” Woebbeking said. “There was also a lot of word-of-mouth as well as us writing on a lot of chalkboards to get the infor-mation out.”

The Guinness Book of World Records has a strict and specific set of rules which must be followed.

“The list of rules was about two pages long in 10-point font,” Capesius said. “We broke up into smaller commit-tees and the job of one of the committees was to figure out what these rules were.”

There were three main cri-teria that had to be provided for proof: live video footage, still photographs of the event and witness statements.

One hour, 55 minutes and a broken record later, a winner was declared for the knockout tournament.

Winning an autographed men’s basketball poster and being declared winner of the knockout world record was Dustin Gray, program co-ordinator for ISU Athletics and adviser of the Iowa State Basketball Association.

“It’s shocking that I won,” Gray said. “I think something like this means a lot to ISBA and Iowa State. It’s something that shows the good of the community and the students and faculty.”

The knockout game was just one of 32 tournaments the VEISHEA committee is put-ting on this year.

Games range from tradi-tional sports to Texas Hold ‘Em poker and video games such as Halo and Super Smash Bros.

The week of VEISHEA has always brought a variety of foods for students and visi-tors, and this year will be no exception.

There’s sweets, salty treats and every food in be-tween. With low prices and convenient locations, it’d be a mistake not to take advan-tage of all the food that this year’s VEISHEA is bringing to campus.

PancakefeedPancakes start flipping

Friday night at midnight for this popular tradition, and won’t close until 3 a.m. Saturday; the cost is just $4.

The feed continues Saturday, 8 to 10 a.m. for $5, and again Saturday from mid-night until 3 a.m. for $4.

TasteofVEISHEAIf your late night crav-

ing doesn’t involve pancakes, stop by Taste of VEISHEA on Friday from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m.

Taste of VEISHEA is com-prised of 16 different vendors — 10 at Lake LaVerne and six at Molecular Biology — each

offering different foods. Each year VEISHEA

weekend attracts these differ-ent vendors that sell a variety of “fair foods,” such as cotton candy, hot dogs, nachos, funnel cakes and other tasty favorites.

FoodstandsIf you’re looking for some

old fashion backyard barbe-cue, stop by the student orga-nization food stands.

Food served at these stands include: hamburgers, pork chops, steak sandwiches, brats, hot dogs, corn on the cob, pulled pork and even walking tacos.

They will also be selling chips, and a variety of bever-ages. The stands will open at noon to 5 p.m. Friday, April 15, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 16.

CherrypiesAmericans love their cher-

ry pies, and those who attend VEISHEA prove this to be true by purchasing thousands of the pies every year during the VEISHEA cherry pie event. The event is an 80-year-old tradition Friday and Saturday during VEISHEA where ap-proximately 9,000 cherry pies are sold to students, residents, visitors and faculty members.

The pies sell for $1 and

you can purchase them at 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, and 7:30 a.m. until they sell out Saturday.

The planning, baking and selling of the pies is done by students of Iowa State in the hotel, restaurant and institu-tion management department, with all proceeds from the fundraiser going toward fund-ing the student’s scholarships within the program. Seeing as this is one of VEISHEA’s oldest traditions, pies tend to sell out very quickly, so make sure to get yours before they’re gone.

InternationalFoodFairIf you want to step out

of your comfort zone and try something new, then the International Food Fair is the place to do it. This year the fair

is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 16, in the Great Hall at the Memorial Union.

This fair brings together the international organiza-tions, under the International Student Council, to prepare and sell some of their favorite culturally-inspired cuisines. This VEISHEA tradition gives people the opportunity to cel-ebrate and appreciate the cul-tural diversity that exists on our campus in a fun and deli-cious way.

VEISHEA Village is an in-tegral part of VEISHEA cele-brations, but most people don’t know how much work goes into setting up and preparing for the big day.

Jonathan Sukup and Stephanie Rupp are chairper-sons for VEISHEA Village, and on the day of the parade, both will be up at around 3 a.m., talking with clubs and committees in order to get ev-erything ready.

“VEISHEA Village is like a best kept secret for VEISHEA. People know that it’s going on, but few know what’s going on,” Sukup said.

VEISHEA Village is as old as the VEISHEA celebration itself. It first started off as just a college thing, but quickly evolved to a large open house event as more people started

getting interested. There are awards given for the most cre-ative display, the most educa-tional display and most inspi-rational exhibit.

Sukup and Rupp are in charge of multiple things, in-cluding VEISHEA Village, the VEISHEA International Food Fair, Campus Showcase, Cy’s Bigtop and Ames Neighborhood. Even though the deadline has passed, any-one is able to apply to be a part of VEISHEA Village. There are about 75 participants in VEISHEA Village this year, Sukup said.

“The village is very impor-tant. There are good exhib-its with everything from the Medieval Recreations Club to the Cyclone Martial Arts Club,” Sukup said.

For the chairpersons, the most time consuming thing is the paperwork. Sukup and Rupp have to work closely with

risk management, especially when concerning the club that is going to have a catapult.

The entomology club seems to be the club that need-ed the most risk management, Sukup said. The club will have an Insect zoo, including Giant Walkingsticks in a hands-on insect display. There will also be a butterfly conservation dis-play and a live cockroach dis-section on TV. Risk manage-ment had to work closely with this club to draft up a specific waiver, in case the cockroach-es were to infect anything with their larva.

A lot of people get Campus Showcase and the Taste of VEISHEA confused, consid-ering they happen at the same time. But they are two separat-ed entities. Campus Showcase takes place across the sidewalk from the Taste of VEISHEA and, as the title states, it show-cases the different colleges from the university.

During VEISHEA weekend, the stands open at 10 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and won’t close until 4 a.m.

As an added bonus, a cart serving the gyros will be set up at the Taste of VEISHEA and will stay open from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. both Friday and Saturday.

Every different food option is sched-

uled at hours to satisfy needs during a busy weekend, and most are inexpen-sive; just be sure to bring cash.

So, whether you’re craving pancakes at 3 a.m., a Superdog for dinner, cherry pie for breakfast or homemade Japanese cuisine for lunch, Iowa State has you covered by serving up all of these deli-cious food options during the week of VEISHEA.

The VEISHEA International Food Fair is an event that has been long-stand-ing for the celebration. It is put on by the International Student Council, and they put in a lot of work to make it an amazing cu-linary feat. There will be food from all around the world avail-able for taste-testing.

Cy’s Bigtop is where clubs can set up booths and play car-nival games with the guests and Ames Neighborhood is targeted to Ames businesses so they can partake in VEISHEA activi-ties as well. Both are only open Saturday, with the same hours of VEISHEA Village.

“VEISHEA Village is a great event and has a lot to offer. There is something for every-one,” Rupp said.

The hours vary for the events. VEISHEA Village’s hours — which also include Cy’s Big top and Ames Neighborhood — are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, The VEISHEA International Food Fair’s hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, and the Campus Showcase takes place at 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 12 to 15.

In 1939, a cast of Iowa State stu-dents performed a variety show on the athletic field that now holds the foundations of Eaton and Martin Halls. The show would mark the first year of one of VEISHEA’s longest running events.

Since 1922, Stars over VEISHEA, called The Nite Show before 1939, has entertained the Ames commu-nity with variety shows and musicals. Over its 89 year run, the VEISHEA event has gone through many tran-sitions in both its productions and

location.This year, for the third time since

1964, the musical will be “Kiss Me, Kate.” This year’s production will be directed by Brad Dell, assistant pro-fessor of theater.

The show focuses on an egotisti-cal director, Fred Graham, and his lead actress and ex-wife, Lilli Vanessi, as they attempt to put on a show of Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew.” When one actor, Bill Calhoun, signs Fred’s name on a $10,000 IOU, two gangsters come to the theater to collect the money.

This year’s performance will fea-ture Scott Hurst, junior in music,

and Jacqueline Evans, senior in mu-sic, as the two lead roles. Other prin-ciple cast members include Austen Naggatz, senior in music, Kelsey Kovacevich, junior in performing

arts, Ben Millar, senior in music, and Joe Leon, sophomore in music.

The play was moved to Fisher Theater this year from Stephens Auditorium, mainly due to budget cuts.

However, Katie Pernula, fresh-man in marketing and the Stars over VEISHEA Chairman, said that there has been an emphasis on advertising and promoting the event to give it a bigger presence during VEISHEA week.

But an increase in advertising is not the only way Pernula and her team are trying to bring in a bigger crowd. Recently, the VEISHEA com-

mittee chose “Rent” as next year’s Stars over VEISHEA production.

“We tried to pick a musical for next year that will cater towards stu-dents more. ‘Rent’ is such a big show and so many people know about it,” Pernula said.

“We have had to have budget cuts from the economy, and Stars over VEISHEA did take a lot of that hit be-cause it was more community-based than student-based. That’s why we picked ‘Rent,’ to kind of change all that ... It’s a really great year for Stars over VEISHEA and I think it’s go-ing to grow tremendously in the next couple years.”

No one does “I Do” like we do!

The VEISHEA Service Day and Stash the Trash went off without problems in spite of cold weather.

Many students were there to lend a hand. Together the three groups — Stash the Trash, VEISHEA Service Day and Keep Iowa State Beautiful — exceeded their goal of 1,000 volunteers. The final number was a little over 1,000 with 50 to 75 participants that had not pre-registered.

Jennifer Nissen, one of the organiz-ers for Stash the Trash and adviser for VEISHEA Service Day, estimated about 300 residents of the community would show up to take part in cleaning up Ames.

“Stash the Trash was started 11 years ago by the former editor of the Tribune, Dave Kraemer, after a group of commit-tee members decided we needed to keep Ames beautiful,” Nissen said. “Every year we hear from the community thanking us for cleaning up. A few years ago a nurs-ing home resident contacted us saying, ‘Thanks for picking up around this area since we cannot get out and do it our-selves, but we saw people out helping and it was awesome.’”

Jessie Dowding, junior in chemical en-gineering, decided this would be his first volunteering experience after he received an email from Iowa State informing him about Stash the Trash.

“This is just a good VEISHEA event to volunteer at, and I figured this could be my way to give back,” Dowding said.

Next year the event will be March 24.“We would love to continue the suc-

cess of this year with over 1,000 volun-teers,” Nissen said. “If I could control the weather, I would ask for a bright sunny day that is about 60 degrees with no wind.”

Program honors high school students

Though VEISHEA is a cel-ebration designed to honor all aspects of Iowa State, there is also a tradition dedicated to honoring outstanding high school students: VEISHEA Scholars.

The five scholarships avail-able are awarded to seniors in high school that are com-ing to Iowa State in the fall. Applicants may be judged on outstanding leadership or community service, and one is honored with the Doug Harms Memorial Scholarship.

“It’s definitely a very unique experience,” said Michael Weber, senior in fam-ily finance, housing and policy and 2011 VEISHEA general chairman.

Weber, an Ames native, has attended VEISHEA events throughout his life. However, he said becoming a VEISHEA scholar his senior year was the experience that truly sparked his continuing interest in the celebration.

In addition to receiving the

scholarship, VEISHEA schol-ars spend Thursday through Saturday of VEISHEA week on campus participating in various activities.

“They are receiving a pres-tigious scholarship and went through a difficult applicant pool to come out on top,” wrote Kayla Toale, sophomore in kineseology and health and VEISHEA scholarship chair-woman in an email.

“The experience of coming

to Iowa State for the infamous VEISHEA activities is also a great experience to have and being able to come into their freshman year in the fall with instant friendship with each other is also a plus.”

Weber said that staying in Acacia fraternity, which would later become his house, as a VEISHEA scholar had a major impact on him.

The VEISHEA scholars program has been a part of VEISHEA for close to 50 years and hasn’t changed a lot in that time.

As part of the experience, scholars are recognized in the opening ceremonies on Saturday and get to ride in the parade, as well as participat-ing in various other activities throughout the weekend.

The scholars also par-ticipate in a “reunion” dinner with all of the previous years’ scholars who are still present at Iowa State.

“This is a great time to meet up again and catch up from their first visit to Iowa State and their first VEISHEA expe-rience,” Toale said.

2007 VEISHEA is a part of the University's 150th celebration.


Shedding away the glitz and the glam of the parade, carnival and other festivities, the heart of VEISHEA appears: the celebration of Iowa State’s diverse colleges. For VEISHEA 2011, each college has prepared interesting activi-ties and presentations to celebrate the college’s success.

AgricultureandLifeSciencesThisweekend

For VEISHEA 2011, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences will offer students several opportunities to win prizes. The college is holding the Campus Showcase on Friday, where students can win coupons redeemable Saturday at clubs’ booths. There will be clubs’ booths set up on campus Saturday. Students can play BINGO and win prizes. The college will also be selling “Tradition of Excellence” T-shirts on Central Campus.

FunFactIowa State’s faculty scientists in agriculture

and life sciences are among the world’s most highly cited. From 1994 to 2004, Iowa State was the fourth most-cited American university and the fifth most-cited university in the world for published research papers in the agricultural sciences.
