Outdoor warning sirens in Story County have been modified to be made more sensitive to powerful winds, as opposed to detecting when there may be a potential tornado. “The Ames Police Chief approached our agency after severe winds that weren’t labeled as a tornado impacted the northern part of Ames in May of 2012, but the storm created damage that would have been a significant risk to people outside,” said Keith Morgan, the Emergency Manager of Story County. Keith said the Ames Police Chief asked the agency to consider the pros and cons of expanding the use of outdoor warning sirens to protect citizens that may be outside without normal methods of severe weather warning. “He asked us to look into the pros/ cons of expanding the use of outdoor warning sirens to protect citizens that may be outside, without access to normal methods of severe weather warning like a [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration] weather radio or television and radio, by giving them time to get inside and sheltered before dangerous conditions strike,” Morgan said. Before the modifications to the alert system, activation of the sirens was only for a tornado warning from the National Weather Service or when a tornado was identified by a trained storm spotter. New guidance was then expanded to include winds of 70 miles per hour or greater, as well as golf-ball sized hail. National Weather Service Warnings also include a tag that can predict the strength of winds as well as the size of hail. “As I understand it, ISU warning sirens can be activated independently of those in Ames, but Ames will typi-

YMCA camp
Iowa State to renovate lodge for student groups Facility will be used for meetings, retreats Lodge Facts By Daniel.Bush @iowastatedaily.com Division of Students Affairs has started to renovate the recently purchased Lynn Fuhrer Lodge. The main plan is to use the lodge for student organizations. The division purchased the land, 17.2 acres, in fall 2012 for $120,000, said Thomas Hill, senior vice president of Division of Student Affairs. “There was some vandalism that was taking place at the property on a regular basis,” Hill said. “And so, staff went out and boarded up the windows and the doors to prevent folks from getting in it.”
The Ames-ISU YMCA managed the rentals of Lynn Fuhrer Lodge. There was a base fee of $25 with another fee depending on who was renting it: ■■ Community groups: $20 ■■ Nonprofit groups: $15 ■■ ISU faculty/staff: $10 ■■ ISU student organizations: $7.50 There was a security deposit of $200 that needed to be given to AmesISU YMCA to insure damages that occurred.
Roger Graden, associate director for facilities of ISU Department of Residence, said students could use

Finding a job after college can be difficult The process of attaining professional experience throughout a student’s college career can be an extensive process with many factors to stay on top of. Whether experience is gained via an internship, co-op or at a job shadow, the significance it has in securing a future position in one’s field is ever increasing. To best utilize one’s time at Iowa State preparation from the get-go is essential. “Starting their freshmen year, students should be identifying things that they can be doing during the school year or during the summer months to get relevant work experience to combine it with their academic preparation,” said Loni Pringnitz, program coordinator for human sciences student services at Iowa State. By doing so, a student can gain an upper hand in landing a coveted position “The more experience they can get, the more marketable and competitive they’re going to be when they’re interviewing for full-time positions because the number one thing most employers are looking for is that relevant experience, and the more you have, the better,” Pringnitz said. Due to the significant experience can provide, many colleges, departments and majors at Iowa State require a form of professional experience to graduate. Kim McDonough, program and internship coordinator for the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication, explained why journalism and advertising majors need internships. “One reason that it is required is because we want to give students some hands-on experience outside of the classroom before they graduate from the program,” McDonough said. Whether or not a student’s specific major requires it to graduate, professional experience can also serve as a feeling-out process when contemplating career paths. “From my point of view, it’s almost necessary to have an internship and have it early, too. That way you can really figure out if that’s what you want to do for the rest of your life,” said Lance Goetsch, senior in agronomy and international agriculture. Goetsch has had three internships. While gaining professional experience can prove beneficial in the long run, it does come with a cost. In an instance where an internship is

completed for a requirement, “you are still paying for the academic credits that go [toward] graduation,” McDonough said. As for all other coursework, the assistance of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid is not an option to fund these credits unless full-time student status is achieved. To claim full-time status, 12 credits must be maintained during the semester. “It’s up to each individual student and how they’re financing their college education. That’s what it comes down to. Each student is going to be unique,” Pringnitz
said. Student loans and scholarships can be options for funding academic internships. Outside of paying for academic credit, other costs should be considered when planning for professional opportunities. With many opportunities outside of Iowa, planning for housing is important to consider. Many universities are willing to house students who have internships. “If you’re looking at a New York City or a Los Angeles internship, you could be looking at a couple [hundred] to a few thousand dollars a month for rent,” McDonough said.

>>WEATHER.p1A cally activate both sets of sirens when conditions are warranted,” Morgan said. Morgan works with the Story County Emergency Management Agency and they were the ones who made the modification of the system possible. It is governed by Iowa Code and reports to a Commission that is made up of the mayors of all the cities within the county, one representative from the board of supervisors and the Sheriff. Josh Alland, senior in meteorology and president of the ISU American Meteorological Society, worked with Morgan to develop documents that will aid Story County citizens in learning about the new system. “One attachment is an article describing the new edition to the sirens, and the other is a promotional flyer,” Alland said. “Both of these documents

have a lot of good information discussing why the sirens are used and why sirens will now sound for strong wind and large hail.” According to the article that describes the new additions to the siren alert system, Morgan gave two tips for severe weather. The first is to be aware of the weather situation before going outside. That way, one will be able to be more readily prepared in the case of a storm. Second, Morgan advises all to be aware of the sirens and their uses. If one is going off, there is a high probability of a severe storm, and citizens should seek shelter right away. The Story County Emergency Management Agency also monitors severe weather and will work with the Ames Police dispatch and Story County Sheriff’s Office dispatch to gather storm reports and keep them advised of severe weather conditions. These agencies can then deter-

>>PROJECT.p1A the lodge for meeting space, retreats or events. “It’s so different,” Graden said, describing the area around the property. “It’s an isolated spot in the middle of town.” The area is covered with woodland trees and trails leading all around the property. The property is located in between other university-owned properties, Veenker Memorial Golf Course and the Applied Science Center. Hill said the goal for the lodge to be up and running without any mishaps is July 1. “We worked up a little plan to refurbish it, get it ready for use, put new finishes in it, insulate it, heat, ventilating/air conditioning system, a new septic system,” Graden said. Lynn Fuhrer Lodge was named after an ISU student who was killed in World War II, Hill said. A new lodge is in the plans for the property as well. The Department of Residence and the Division of Student Affairs have been thinking of ideas for the placement and purpose of the new lodge. “It’s the dream phase, I would call it,” Graden said. The new lodge won’t be up until funding starts to come in, Hill said. Approximately $12 million to $15 million will be needed to complete the project. “Once that one is a reality, then that other lodge could really primarily be used by the ISU veterans,” Hill said. The Des Moines YMCA owned the property before the purchase. They had no interest for use of the lodge, but wanted to maintain it as a natural area with little development, according to a proposal purchase by Iowa State. One concern that was brought up were the views of the local neighborhood.
Ames-ISU YMCA rules for the lodge Ames-ISU YMCA had a set of rules for the renting of the lodge: ■■ No alcohol. If violated, forfeit of security deposit will be the result. ■■ No smoking on the property. ■■ No more than two vehicles in service entrance. Others will park in Outdoor Center parking lot on Scholl Road. ■■ Before departing the lodge, sweep floors, extinguish fire in outside pit and fireplace, turn off lights, lock windows and doors and take out garbage. ■■ Don’t pick flowers or cut branches

treat events. “I think the students will enjoy it,” Hill said. Graden agreed but added a concern for the feel of the property. “I think the challenge really is going to be maintaining that feel,” Graden said, talking about the feel of the woodland area.
“We are working with the residents of the neighborhood to talk about what we are going to do, how we’re going to do it,” Hill said. “And I think we are in a good spot right now; they are getting more comfortable with what we are proposing.” Beforehand, the YMCA rented out the lodge to groups in the community at a cost. Iowa State is making the lodge free to use under reservation. “The only cost would be food,” Hill said. Graden said the lodge would be a great asset for students to use and it is very close to campus for students to walk to. “The only thing that it doesn’t offer is the overnight experience,” Hill said. “There may be a time where we can add lodging facilities out there, but I don’t really see the need for it right away.” The rules for the lodge will be relatively the same as YMCA had when they were renting the facility out to the community.

Criminal system
Editorial:
Be sure of your rights this Veishea Veishea ranks as one of the more opportune times during which students may find themselves participants in disciplinary police action. Rioting, dismantling light poles, lighting dumpsters on fire and pushing them down Lincoln Way are Veishea traditions almost as time-honored as cherry pies. It is not unheard of, then, for Veishea participants to find themselves face to face with The Man himself: a uniformed police officer. During police encounters, remembering our constitutional rights — yes, even with the spotlights shining in your face and commands getting shouted in your direction, you’re still a citizen of the United States — gets difficult. Remembered and invoked properly, however, your rights can help you out of a heap of trouble or avoid it entirely. Against a law code that contains hundreds if not thousands of rules, knowing and being able to cite broad constitutional principles is probably the only defense. Police officers exist to serve and protect We, the People, but it is their job to find criminals and uphold the rights of the community. Laws are written to protect society from individuals whose actions lie outside the bounds of accepted norms; the rights listed in the Constitution are there to protect us from agents of the government. Therefore, there are a few general propositions to consider before playing “Simon Says” with a police officer. First, we all know that we have the right to remain silent. Even though the First Amendment secures our right to say almost whatever we want, in police interactions it may behoove us to exercise some prior restraint over ourselves and refuse to offer more than our name and an ID. The Fifth Amendment and the Miranda warning that articulates it say as much. Second, police are permitted to search you in a noninvasive way, such as a pat-down that doesn’t get too close nor go into your pockets nor take up much time, if there is a reasonable factual basis to suspect that you are up to something illegal. They generally cannot, however, search your vehicle. With most of these things, police have the exact attitude citizens ought to take: It’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission, so do first and ask later. Third, asserting your right requires certainty and being decisive and definitive. The same way that “no” means “no,” “I want to talk to an attorney” or “I do not wish to speak to you at this time” means just that. Fourth, and perhaps most important, if a person is going to assert his or her rights once, he or she must prepared to do so until he or she is no longer interacting with police officers. As with the muscles in our bodies, we can use it, or we can lose it. Building strength and stamina are long-term propositions, but demolishing them only takes a few lazy days. Of course, the easiest way to not have your rights violated is to not give police any reason to suspect you might be violating the law. Rights are best remembered while sober and, unfortunately, it’s sober people who generally are the least disruptive of the law and order that police are supposed to maintain. A little common sense can go a long way.

‘Majority rules’ is not justice Courtesy photo Daily columnist Phil Brown says that discussing only cases in the majority does not help solve the problem. In response to claims that his April 1 column blamed victims of rape, Brown argues majoritarianism would see an increase in conviction rates at the expense of the innocent.
R
ecently, I wrote an opinion column entitled “Avoiding false reports of rape is everyone’s responsibility.” Many people have misinterpreted my comments, and I would like to address several of the grievances I received, to make myself more clear. It has been said that in my column I attributed blame to victims of rape, encouraged victims to not report rape because it can be harmful to those they accuse, said that victims should be assumed to be lying until they prove otherwise, and that I claimed instances of false reports of rape are more important or more common than cases of rape. I disagree with all of these statements, and challenge any reader to find them in my column, with proper context in mind. My column said that women and men can both help prevent false reports, as the title would imply. One of the main themes that seemed to accompany criticism of my column was that false reports of rape are far less common than actual instances of rape. Obviously, everybody needs to stop talking about false reports, then, and needs to start talking about actual rapes, and how we can avoid them, right? This is blind majoritarianism (thinking that the majority is supremely important). While most of us do feel that rape is a horrendous crime and would like for it to be eradicated, only discussing the majority of cases is not the way to go. The number of false reports of rape may be small, but it is not zero. As long as there are any cases, they can be talked about. Further, legal systems such as the one we
By Phil.Brown @iowastatedaily.com enjoy here in the United States are based off of the notion that individuals are innocent until proven guilty. This does not mean that a plaintiff, such as a victim of rape, should be assumed to be lying. Such absurdity would totally undermine any attempts to dispense justice or to even find the truth. Rather, assumed innocence is an expression of the principle that it is better to let a guilty individual free than to punish someone who is innocent. Blackstone’s formulation, a famous example of this principle, states that “It is better that 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer.” The numbers here are arbitrary, but the point remains clear. This principle is not only embraced by the legal systems of the developed world, but, according to the beliefs of many, it is embraced by divinity. In Genesis, it is said that God tells Abraham of His plans to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham, concerned for any good people who would be harmed, asks if God would spare the city for the sake of 50, and eventually 10, good men. God is said to have agreed to this, but 10 good men could not be
found. It is written that God instead sent angels to help the only good man, Lot, escape from the cities, so that he would not be punished along with the guilty majority. Certainly crimes where evidence is exceedingly difficult to produce, such as rape, would see an increase in conviction rate and more rapists would be punished if we adopted a principle of assumed guilt. That good, however, would not outweigh the injustice done by assuming the guilt of all accused. We have seen such times before, from the Salem witch trials to McCarthyism, but almost unilaterally these are seen as black marks on our history. Even so, we are still undergoing such a crisis of legality and morality due to majoritarian views. To this day, terrorists, or rather, those suspected of terrorism, are not always given the benefit of the legal system we hold so dear. After all, the majority of those suspected of terrorism are guilty — so we should punish them all, just in case. Such is the idiocy that allows for suspected terrorists — even American citizens on U.S. soil — to be held by our military without trial and without charge. I admit it can seem terrible to say it would be better for 10 rapists or terrorists to go free than for one innocent person to be punished, but I for one believe that when our country adopted a legal system based on such principles, we chose correctly.

Letters to the Editor
Mental health: National debt state or county? will be fixed by I believe mental health services are not something to undermine or take for granted. Were it not for these services, our fellow citizens who are ailing from certain conditions wouldn’t get the treatment they deserve. Without an effective system, proper treatment will not see growth. Mental health services are one of the first things cut from a county budget. The bill for state control passed last year. The purpose of the proposed bill in legislature is to ensure mental health services continue to be provided and improved, while the system moves from a county-based to a regional system controlled by the state. The bill itself will provide $11.6 million for transition funds, which assist counties during the redesign for 2013; an additional $29.8 million is included for equalization funds, which help counties during the final stages of the redesign next year for 2014. In all, the bill addresses funding needed to make the transition. General information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students
This mental health redesign legislation in Iowa is a topic that everyone should be mindful of. The ever-old argument of which government control is best continues. Is it better to have government activities controlled by the state? Or does it make more sense to have control by the county? The answer truly depends on the situation. Is this redesign for the mental health system in Iowa a good idea? One could argue that the county is more aware of its residents specific mental health needs. However, state control could create more uniform services, which generates higher quality. In my opinion, moving to the state level is a positive outcome for the mental health and disability system. The bill will create the proper stability needed for mental health services. If funding is adequate, I believe this bill to be a good idea.

Most of us will face the reality that it is time to pay back thousands of dollars in debt we acquired while receiving our degrees. With the economy still in recovery, and the national debt soaring to new heights, it can be very difficult to find a good job to pay off student loans. For these reasons, I have become involved with the Can Kicks Back organization and the Campaign to Fix the Debt to keep the important conversation about our

nation’s debt going, making sure my peers are fully aware of the perils of our debt burden. Right now the debt is more than 70 percent of the economy and on a path to continue increasing. Without a solution to this problem, economic growth will slow, making it more difficult to find employers ready to hire. The only way we can truly begin to start controlling our debt is by pushing our members of Congress and the president to work in a bipartisan fashion, creating a comprehensive and longterm solution.

Dika done for good
CYCLONES WIN ON SENIOR DAY
ISU coach Paul Rhoads said Saturday that knee injuries sustained by offensive lineman Shaban Dika will keep him from playing football again. Dika was listed No. 1 on the team’s depth chart at left guard, but two tears of his ACL in three years will end his on-field career. “He was in the starting five for a reason, and we were very anxious to get him back because we thought he brought a physical presence that we needed,” Rhoads said. “Yeah, that’s a blow.”

Efkamp, Okoro set personal records
Woody’s catches
DES MOINES — Both Nick Efkamp and Ese Okoro posted record times in their respective 400-meter dash events at the Jim Duncan Invitational this past weekend. Efkamp, a sophomore, ran in his first 400-meter dash event of the outdoor season and set a Jim Duncan Invitational meet record with a time of 46.68 seconds. Efkamp finished just less than two seconds faster than his competition to place first in the event. “It was pretty good to open my first 400-meter outdoor race,” Efkamp said. “I told myself I wanted to run 46 [seconds], but I know I want to run even faster.” Efkamp thinks he can run faster, and knows his training leading up to the Big 12 Championships will be an important step to improving his time. “The main thing is just staying consistent in the workouts, not taking any reps off and just hitting all of our workouts,” Efkamp said. In the women’s 400-meter dash, Okoro finished second but set a new personal record, running a time of 54.83. “Well, I haven’t run the 400-meter dash in a few years, but it went really well,” Okoro said. “I kind of died that last 15 meters, but it was a good start.” Okoro was joined by Cyclones Kendra White and Dana Christensen, both of whom finished third and fourth in the event. The competition between sprinters, Okoro said, is really heating up. “I feel like in training we really push each other,” Okoro said. “But we work together to help each other accomplish the goals we set out to break in our workouts and meets.” Sophomore distance runner Edwin Serem finished first in the 1,500-meter run. Serem, from Kenya, has been improving as of late and ran a personal record in the 5,000-meter run at the Stanford Invite in March. — Isaac Copley

File photo: Blake Lanser/Iowa State Daily Jeff Woody, who could be seeing snaps at tight end next season, runs with the ball after catching a pass from quarterback Sam Richardson against Kansas on Nov. 17, 2012. In the past two seasons, Woody has caught a combined seven passes for 30 yards and two receiving touchdowns.
By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Jeff Woody may be entering his fifth season, but he is still doing plenty of learning. There have no doubt been many teaching moments from the veteran Woody to the younger ISU running backs this spring. At the same time, Woody has also taken some instruction on his own as he has spent more time in front of the backfield at tight end. “He’ll always be a guy that’s going to be able to get you those hard yards,” said offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham of Woody. “But
he’s also now really become where he can play tight end, he can play a flexed-out wideout, he can play a move guy as a fullback and then he can play tailback.” With an excess of running backs already competing for time next season, Woody is now seeking other ways to put his 242-pound frame to use for the Cyclones. There will certainly still be snaps for Woody in the backfield on the short-down situations he’s become known for. The most famous was Woody’s three consecutive runs against No. 2 Oklahoma State in 2011 that ended with a 4-yard burst
into the end zone to clinch the biggest victory in program history. Yet at the same time, Woody sees this new opportunity, too. “It’s using the personnel that you have,” Woody said. “Whether it’s a fast guy that you have and put him at tailback and receiver. Whether it’s me, I’m a bigger guy, with me at tailback or tight end.” Woody doesn’t have much experience receiving, catching three passes — two for touchdowns — last season for 9 yards and four passes the year prior for 30 yards. Woody initially approached the coaches in 2011
about the idea of playing some tight end, but estimates that he saw maybe 1 percent of his snaps there. “I was like, ‘Hey coach, I’ll play some tight end if you want me to,’” Woody said. The coaches eventually “caved” to Woody’s idea this spring. With injuries to tight ends E.J. Bibbs and Ernst Brun in recent weeks, Woody began seeing more action on the line. While Woody has a strong grasp of terminology and plays, the new position hasn’t come without some learning moments. “At running back I can do it in my sleep and just tell
you where you need to go because I’ve done it for so long,” Woody said. “At tight end it’s a new thing, so you need to know where your aiming points are, where exact landmarks are.” That will be a point of emphasis for Woody moving forward as he plans to play as much tight end as possible. “[I’ll play] as much as they’ll let me, it’s a fun position,” Woody said. “You get to be physical, you get to be nasty on blocks and occasionally you get a bone tossed your way and catch a route. When you catch a pass rather than taking a handoff, you have nothing but open space.”
Volleyball
Freshmen revel in first matches By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com The ISU volleyball team’s two redshirt freshmen started their careers at Iowa State on a high note during a home tournament on Saturday. Iowa State (3-2) began the day with wins against Nebraska-Omaha 3-0 and Northern Iowa 3-0. The Cyclones lost to Minnesota 2-0 in their final match. For middle blocker Natalie Vondrak and outside hitter Morgan Kuhrt, it was their first time competing at home in front of a crowd. “I thought we really got after it,” Vondrak said. “There are just little things like covering that we still need to work out and just go over in practice. Overall we played with really high intensity.” Iowa State’s first match was the best for the redshirt freshmen. Kuhrt racked up 13 kills, three digs and an assist against Nebraska-Omaha.
Vondrak also tallied six kills against the Mavericks. Kuhrt continued her skillful debut in Iowa State’s final two matches. She made another 12 kills and five digs for the Cyclones. “It’s great for Kuhrt, who had to redshirt last year, to get all of this experience in Hilton,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “[With] a high level of competition, she has to go back and pass, play defense and serve. It’s pretty huge for her to get that experience in here.” In her final two matches, Vondrak notched seven kills. She also had a block against Northern Iowa and combined for 10 block assists on the afternoon. “I think she did a terrific job; she is such a high-energy competitor,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think that’s one of the best things about her and she really showed that today.” Both Kuhrt and Vondrak said spring matches are especially bene-

The first movie star to appear on television was Felix The Cat. The first broadcast image, made during testing, was a Felix statue rotating on a turntable. The 3 Musketeers bar was originally split into three pieces with three different flavors: vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. When the other flavors became harder to come by during WWII, 3 Musketeers went all chocolate. In 1997, Mikhail Gorbachev appeared in a Pizza Hut commercial. In 1912, Kazimierz (Casimir) Funk discovered the first vitamin, Niacin (or vitamin B3) How can you tell when Limburger cheese has gone bad?

EVENT
SHOW LIGHTS UP STEPHENS By Jessi Wilson ISD Style Writer The 2013 Fashion Show kicked off for the 31st time as the lights in Stephens Auditorium dimmed at 7:03 p.m. Saturday. After receiving complimentary Essence cosmetics products, such as bronzer, eyeshadow, lip liner, mascara and lip gloss, guests made their way into the auditorium for the show. After the Masters of Ceremonies cordially welcomed ISU President Steven Leath and his wife Janet Leath, Leath boasted about the show and said it was one of the great student events held at Iowa State. The crowd cheered on the first model, wearing a silk black dress which featured a deep V. Emerald, the 2013 Pantone Color of the Year, was integrated into various aspects of the show, including the programs and cathedral-like doors that were strategically opened by doormen in black suits, giving models access to the runway. Models walked down the white runway to fixed beats of energetic remixes including ones by Coldplay and Eurythmics and honored Old Hollywood Glamour with side-swept curls, smokey eyes and nude lips. A change in set after intermission led the audience inside the “cathedral,” unveiling two large stained glass window replicas, as well as several ivory pillars topped with candles on either side of the runway. From lively and fast-paced to cool and collective, the show’s music and models’ paces changed drastically as the second half of the show began, reinforcing the California luxury denim brand, J Brand Jeans. Honorary guest designers, Brent Hannapel and Carla Tercero, of J Brand Jeans, showcased their brand’s latest fashions for men and women on 24 lucky models. Menswear trends pronounced by the brand included white denim jackets, colored jeans and white sneakers, which resembled pop band fashions from the ‘90s. Watercolor printed pants, distressed crops and sheer black fabric were prominent women’s fashions during J Brand Jeans’ segment.
Black was an overall popular color choice among garments on the runway; noir dresses, lingerie, blazers and cropped pants were featured by both J Brand Jeans and student designers. Trends seen on this year’s runway included digitally printed fabrics, short formal dresses with sheer overlay and backless garments. Perhaps the most jaw-dropping dress was the “Drop Dress.” It originated as a lemon cocktail dress, the model unveiled its versatility, letting down the long and colorful formal gown. Another crowd-favorite was a white tulle babydoll that was a mix of feminine and risque. Reminiscent of fashion icon Jacqueline Kennedy, the line “Lillibet’s Garden Part” featured three chic suits; models even adorned small pillbox hats. Stealing the heart of her audience, a stylish little girl showing off a tiara and sparkling sneakers strutted down the runway, blowing a kiss to the crowd at the end of the runway. Other children’s styles on the runway included empire waist outerwear and other easy-to-wear styles. Toward the conclusion of the runway show, model Alex Courtney, sophomore in animal science, shared his battle with cancer and announced his one-year cancer-free achievement, earning thunderous applause. Courtney said that losing his hair and gaining weight deteriorated his confidence, but now, after losing 52 pounds, he walked the runway in The Fashion Show and encouraged the crowd to remember the light at the end of the tunnel. Awards were given for various categories such as collection, special occasion and best in show, which were chosen by the guest judges, Haylynn Cohen, Lea Leopold, Brittany Craiger and Francesca Skwark, on March 30. The People’s Choice award was selected by the audience, who texted votes during the show.

An officer’s point of view on Veishea Police share perspectives on annual celebration
By Charles.OBrien @iowastatedaily.com For an Ames or Iowa State police officer, Veishea is an interesting time of the year to work. The officers have experienced a wide gamut of events; some good, some bad and some ugly. The two police departments work together as a collaboration during the week. Veishea week for ISU police officers gets into full swing that Wednesday and lasts through the wee hours of Sunday morning. Officers work 12 hours or more each day and every officer works every day, with some exceptions. The Ames police department follow a similar format as the ISU police, using an “all hands on deck” strategy, but ramp up their work the Friday of Veishea instead of Wednesday. “Our officers really enjoy working Veishea,” said ISU Police Lieutenant Elliott Florer. “We just want it to be a fun and safe time.” Throughout the years Veishea has gained a reputation across the Midwest as being one of the biggest student-organized college celebrations.
Stories are told about the riots of 1989, 1992, 1994 and 2004, “Ash Bash” and fraternity parties with rumored attendances of 500 people; these stories which stem from the ‘90s have just added fuel to the fire. These urban legends about Veishea, according, to Florer have attracted people from outside of the Ames and Iowa State community to Veishea. Commander Geoff Huff for the Ames Police sees these outside visitors as a wildcard. “Most of our issues are with people who have no connection to Ames or Iowa State,” Huff explained. “These folks from out of town don’t understand what Veishea really stands for and they don’t respect ISU or Veishea. The majority of people we arrest do not go to Iowa State.” Huff pointed out the stabbing in 1997 at the Adelante fraternity and the death at Chamberlain in 2012 as examples of where the person was not a student at Iowa State. The coincidence of deaths and people not being linked to the university is a repeated pattern. “I remember the stabbing in 1997; I was on foot patrol that night. It happened at the end of the night when we were starting to pack up,” Huff said. “It had been a pretty quiet Veishea up until that point, maybe that’s why we were all surprised to hear that something like that had
happened.” “I then went out with other officers trying to find the suspect after we had heard what had happened,” Huff remembered. “After that the university tried to have a dry Veishea the next year, thinking that would counter future problems.” The majority of the time interactions between police officers and students are usually positive. Sometimes the interactions have been humorous for the officers. “It’s always funny when students don’t recognize who we are,” said ISU Police Officer Anthony Greiter. “One time I stopped at a stop sign and a kid jumped in the back of my squad car. He kept saying over and over that he needed to go to this certain address. It got really funny when he realized that he wasn’t in a taxi and that he couldn’t get out.” There have been other incidents of students throwing beers at bike patrol officers thinking they were their friends only to realize too late that they were not who they were perceived to be. Other incidents have included people jumping out in front of the police paddy wagon to flip off the oncoming truck. Officers say these ‘not realizing till it’s too late’ scenarios tend to be the most comical. Officers from both departments state that there has been a culture shift throughout the
Officer input on celebration -“If you’re too embarrassed to tell your mom what you did during Veishea, then you’re doing something wrong.” ~Commander Geoff Huff, Ames Police -“We hear the excuse ‘Its Veishea, what’s the deal?’ all the time; the law isn’t suspended because of Veishea.” ~Lieutenant Elliott Florer, ISU Police -“It’s always funny when students don’t recognize who we are.” ~Officer Anthony Greiter, ISU Police -“Have a good time, but do it responsibly. You’re representing yourself, your future and Iowa State.” ~Sergeant Mike Arkovich, Ames Police
Ames and Iowa State community in terms of lessened reckless behavior during Veishea. The departments still stress that students think before they act in order to avoid past problems. “If you’re too embarrassed to tell your mom what you did during Veishea, then you’re doing something wrong,” Huff said.
Security
Ames, ISU Police team up to cover week of activities Departments collaborate, increase staff numbers By Jared.Raney @iowastatedaily.com Last year during the weekend of Veishea, Ames police responded to 377 incidents. Of those, 62 arrests were made and 46 citations issued. ISU police reported a total of 157 Veishea-related charges. Veishea is the largest special event that Ames and ISU police staff each year. For the police, the biggest issue during Veishea is the flood of visitors coming to Iowa State to participate in the festivities. Hundreds of students from all over the state and other locations come to Ames each year for Veishea weekend. On a normal weekend, Ames police has about a dozen officers on patrol. During Veishea, it’s all hands on deck, with Ames police staffing around 40 officers Friday and Saturday night. ISU police similarly increases its staff. “We’re pulling in everybody,” said Carrie Jacobs, captain of patrol operations for ISU police. “We’re going to see an influx of an additional 25 to 30 officers per night.” Jacobs also said that ISU Police officers during Veishea usually work 12-hour shifts at a time. Ames police budgets approximately $24,000 in addition to their normal spending. The money is spent on extra staffing, rental costs, extra equipment and their spring safety campaign. For several years Ames police has been using ‘Frank the Flamingo’ as part of their Veishea education program. They give away free T-shirts and other items in hopes that students will know when to quit during Veishea festivities. This year ISU police started their own campaign, with the slogan “If you see something, say something.” “Obviously, everybody who is intoxicated is not going to get arrested,” Jacobs said. “We’re looking for those who are presenting a danger to themselves or others, or drawing negative

attention to themselves.” Both police forces are on high alert starting at 8 p.m. Friday night and going to 4 a.m. Sunday morning. Geoff Huff, investigations commander for Ames police, said that the number of officers is also dependent on the weather. “If the weather’s not great, we might cut back. We’re pretty conservative when it comes to sending people home, we have to be pretty confident things are drawing to a close,” Huff said. In the past, additional officers have been called in from neighboring towns such as Huxley and Nevada. This year Ames and ISU police will team up with the Story County Sheriff’s office and additional state troopers, mostly for prisoner transport. “The majority are actually not Iowa State students that end up getting arrested,” Brown said. “I think a lot of it is people from other communities just deciding to kick it up and have a good time at Veishea — which is great, that’s what we want them to do — but they need to do it in a responsible manner.” The percentage of ISU students involved in charges during Veishea has been below 30 percent since 2009, and has never been above 50 percent. “I’ll see someone walking down the street drinking a beer and when I stop them they’ll say ‘Oh, I’m not from around here.’ And I’ll ask, ‘can you walk down the street drinking beer where you come from?’” Huff said. “A lot of people think normal rules don’t apply, but they do.”

Resources
Celebration increases water usage Overpopulation during Veishea puts strains on Ames water plant By Tedi.Mathis @iowastatedaily.com Overpopulation during Veishea is evident in more ways than merely the number of people wandering around on campus. Water consumption in Ames and students coming in and out of the residence halls both see an increase. Brittney Rutherford, from the Department of Residence, said they do not change their guest policy during Veishea and said Veishea may not even be addressed in their policy. “With your roommates’ permission, guests can stay with you for no more than three days,” Rutherford said. Rutherford even said they don’t see a spike in students getting into trouble in the residence halls during Veishea, which is “probably due to the fact that everyone is busy taking part in Veishea and just sleeping in our residence halls.” This is something Allen Schwery, a third-year community adviser for Freeman Hall, has also seen. Schwery said he does not have to deal specifically with many problems within the residence halls during Veishea. “I would say I noticed a lot more students, people bringing two to three guests, sometimes more than that,” Schwery said. “Otherwise, I didn’t really notice a lot of problems, most of the things kind of stay out of the residence halls.” Residence halls aren’t the only area of Ames to see a bump in activity, however. The amount of water consumed in the city per day sees a sizeable jump. Lyle Hammes, the water plant superintendent in Ames, said that on an average day, six million gallons of water are consumed. “When the students are here versus when they are not, it makes about a 750,000 gallons per day difference,” Hammes said. During Veishea there is an even larger increase in water consumption according to the City of Ames’ records. “It looks like about a half million gallons more water per day with Veishea being here,” Hammes said. Other resources in the city may also see a bump, but it is not as easily tracked and recorded. “Gas, you are not going to see a ton of fluctuation like you will electric,” said Heather Homes from Alliant Energy. “It would be hard to pinpoint to see if there was a bump in the time that Veishea is.” Even with Veishea looming and the population on campus increasing, the Department of Residence and community advisers are not making drastic changes. “We kind of increase our duty and our rounds,” Schwery said. “But nothing really out of the ordinary as far as, like, calling in reinforcements.”
File photo: Iowa State Daily Parade viewers try to keep warm as the parade passes by on April 16, 2011. During Veishea, water consumption in Ames increases significantly. The City of Ames’ records show roughly half a million gallons more per day are used during Veishea.

Entertainment
Veishea welcomes new attractions Parade, village get facelifts; Kid’s Corner introduced By Frances.Myers @iowastatedaily.com With Veishea being such a large event, it takes a lot of planning and preparing to make the event go smoothly. This year, Veishea committee members have been working on some new aspects to add to the lineup of activities. Anyone who is present for this year’s Veishea will have a variety of things to look forward to including: updates to Veishea Village, a facelift for the annual Veishea parade, more music than ever before and even a Kids’ Corner. The members of the Veishea committee have also worked to bring a few familiar faces to campus, including Scott Siepker, who is commonly known for his “Iowa Nice” YouTube videos. “Our Executive Board has been incredible this year,” said Ashleigh Belin, 2013 public relations co-chair and senior in marketing. Belin said the Veishea committee members have all “stepped up their game” this year. “Veishea Village helped bring about more sign-ups than we’ve seen in recent years, parade has been working tirelessly to help promote float building, tournaments are working on a 5k run/ walk that will end by running the parade route and entertainment has been lining up great acts that appeal to a wide audience.” Held on Saturday, the Veishea parade “has been a cornerstone and highlight in the yearly celebration of Iowa State,” according to the Veishea web page. The parade will have more than 100 entries, Belin said. Rebecca Ahlers, 2013 parade co-chairwoman, said the committee has been working to make this year’s parade a success. They applied for a grant last fall from the Ames Convention and Visitors Bureau and offered it to groups that have never had a float in the parade before. They also eliminated the traditional and nontraditional float categories and this year are having a generic float category. “To amp up the parade, we have been trying to recruit more float entries as well as balloon entries,” Ahlers said. “We will be hosting a floatbuilding location during the week of Veishea for organizations to come in and get help making their floats ready for the parade.” This year’s Live @ Veishea concerts will have a different layout than in years past. This year, the Veishea executive board is pushing a lineup that is more genre-based. With a lineup Friday consisting of such performers as Easton Corbin, Jana Kramer, Kris Allen and Andrew Allen, the lineup is expected to appeal to fans of country and rock. With a lineup on Saturday made up of B.o.B, Grouplove, The Maine, Jukebox the Ghost,
Veishea Village helped bring about more sign-ups than we’ve seen in recent years, parade has been working tirelessly to help promote float building, tournaments are working on a 5k run/walk that will end by running the parade route and entertainment has been lining up great acts that appeal to a wide audience.” Ashleigh Belin
Saints of Valory and Blessed Feathers, the lineup is geared toward hip-hop, pop and indie. “The reasoning for pushing a lineup that is more genre-matched is less of that there were issues in the past, and more that the bands complement each other well in the lineup’s succession,” said Jason Schuster, Veishea 2013 Village co-chair and senior in agricultural engineering. “We’re proud of this year’s Live @ Veishea lineup and feel we are meeting the musical entertainment needs for the overall student body.” This year there will also be a free concert at 9 p.m. Thursday in the Great Hall, featuring acoustic/indie singer-songwriter Tristan Prettyman, and Lee DeWyze with Jillette Johnson. DeWyze is a pop-rock singer-songwriter and the season nine winner of “American Idol.” Johnson is a pop singer-songwriter and pianist. Her sound is expected to appeal to fans of Adele, Christina Perri and Vanessa Carlton. Schuster said this year’s Veishea Village will be one of the largest ever. The Veishea Village committee changed it up so there is no registration fee this year, which helped generate more entries. Also the name used in previous years, “Ames Neighborhood” got changed to Veishea Main Street. “As a result of reaching out to organizations and departments, we have [more than] 90 participants registered for Veishea Village, making it one of the largest Veishea Village events ever,” Schuster said. “Veishea Main Street has seen a boost in involvement from years past. Veishea Village and Veishea Main Street allow for fun interaction between the public, ISU organizations and departments, and local businesses.” Veishea Village will also team up with the Stem Festival this year to “celebrate a variety of booths dealing with science, technology, engineering and math. These include pop-up shows, a variety of games, enjoying marshmallows frozen in liquid nitrogen and even arm wrestling with Smokey the Bear,” according to the public relations committee. Veishea Village will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday on campus.

Biggest cultural difference when it comes to celebrations in America:
“I am [excited] to know and see how it works because I’ve never been to Veishea before, so how can I say I don’t like it? I’m just a little afraid though, to go out alone.”
Biggest cultural differences in general: I think in Brazil people are more open to a new culture. Here at Iowa State, it’s very easy to make friends because everyone is so used to new international students, but outside Iowa State, people are ... very conservative.”
“It’s a celebration week where students would probably all gather to enjoy the food fest, probably drink and there are a lot of shows happening as well.”
“I’m from Lebanon, but I was raised and lived in Dubai. ... In Dubai, it’s more conservative due to the religion differences, but for example we have the international week at my old university. We have the international week where we have over 72 different nationalities. Every day during the week we have a different show or food fest where all the different cultures have a booth and sell their food. That’s kind of their Veishea.”

“The concerts, but I’m not looking forward to the stuff late at night. I remember last year there was a party in the building that I live in and I parked my bike outside and I forgot to lock it. I left the next day to go somewhere and then I noticed that my bike was stolen. But it’s just the late night stuff, it’s a lot of fun during the day on Central Campus.”

“Obviously the drinks, because in Kuwait we don’t drink at all. Even concerts, we don’t have concerts there.”

“There is no on campus and off campus. People just go to classes and then go home right away.”

“The whole partying scene and seeing a lot of drunk people around is a little intimidating, but it’s not bad. It’s not something you would get scared of and pull yourself out of Veishea events.”
What does Veishea mean to you? “It’s like a bonding program so people get to know each other and they get to have fun together. It’s a way to better improve the school spirit; to make everybody connect to the school.”

Music
Prettyman plays again after new album, landmark year chart. For two years Prettyman toured in support for “Hello,” headlining tours in the U.S., Europe and Japan. After the tours, Prettyman took an extended break which lead to the events that inspired her third album “Cedar + Gold.” Prettyman went through an engagement and then a divorce, as well as traveled the world. Through the break Prettyman began to question herself in music and whether she wanted to continue. “It was a journey really about finding myself. Doing things in life that knocked me down, getting vocal surgery and getting engaged and it not working out with it all being close to one another; those two things broke all the walls down and allowed me to get into myself,” Prettyman said. “Cedar + Gold” also features a land-

Growing up in San Diego, Prettyman started playing guitar at 16 and found herself playing shows just four years later. “I started playing guitar by accident,” Prettyman said. “I was taught at 16 and started playing shows when I was 20. I was in junior college and my parents went to one of my shows and said I could just go into music.” Prettyman’s first recording, “This Love EP” was released in 2003 and was followed by 2005’s “Twentythree.” Prettyman spent a lot of time touring before releasing her third record “Hello” (also known as “Hello…x”) which landed the number two position on the iTunes Digital Albums

After 10 years of recording and performing Prettyman looks forward to the future to continue shaping her as a musician. “It has been great, I look at it like an opportunity.

Prettyman also assures fans they can look forward to many more albums as well as music in the future.
Attendance
Veishea Parade invites special guests Many visitors make an appearance at the event By Tedi.Mathis @iowastatedaily.com The Veishea Parade this year will be hosting special guests Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds. The pair will be riding through the parade in cars alongside many other Veishea guests. “In my five years at Veishea, this is the first time,” said George Micalone, director of student activities on the governor and lieutenant governor making an appearance at the Veishea parade. “They got invited as dignitaries,” Micalone said. “It is a special guest.” However, this is not the first year the governor and lieutenant governor have been invited. “That is something I believe they do every year, it just depends on whether the governor can do it,” said Rebecca Ahlers, a Veishea Parade chairwoman. “We are very excited that Governor Branstad will be joining us for the Veishea parade.” One role of the governor is to visit all 99
counties in Iowa. By attending the parade, the governor is able to experience both Story County and Iowa State during one of its most active seasons. This contact with the university is something that is important to Branstad and Reynolds. “They like to keep in touch with students,” said Tim Albrecht, the communications director of the office of the governor. Albrecht also said they are excited to attend because it gives them a chance to have fun. “Our office gets thousands of offers every single year for various events throughout the state,” Albrecht said. The Veishea Parade committee invites a handful of special guests to ride in cars throughout the parade each year. Other guests in the parade who will be riding alongside Branstad and Reynolds include ISU President Steven Leath, Ames Mayor Ann Campbell, Dean of Students Pamela Anderson, the Cyclone Family of the Year and the newly elected Government of the Student Body president and vice president. Swanson, the new Veishea swan mascot, will also be making an appearance in one of the vehicles.

File photo: Iowa State Daily Members of the Veishea committee and the volunteers are required to do a lot of preparing and planning to make sure that Veishea week and all of its events run smoothly.
Preparation, planning required for week of festivities Members play significant role throughout the events By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com With thousands set to congregate in Ames for Veishea week, extensive preparation is needed to ensure the much-anticipated events run smoothly and campus is properly maintained. Given the stature of such a large-scale event, planning and preparation is a constant process. When one Veishea ends, work for the next begins shortly thereafter. “There’s actually a little bit of overlap,” said Hilary Morris, a senior in agricultural business and co-chairwoman for the 2013 Veishea executive board. “Rachel and I will be doing interviews before [this year’s] Veishea to try to select next year’s general co-chairs. We really kind of start preparing for [next year’s] Veishea before this year’s Veishea,” Morris said, referring to Rachel Owen, senior in global resource systems and fellow Veishea co-chairwoman. A large portion of the preparation involves taking care of logistical necessities that include “tables, chairs, tents, bleachers, electricity and
waste disposal; lots of those sorts of things,” Owen said. Tasks of this nature are relegated to the Veishea operations committee who works in conjunction with Iowa State Facilities, Planning and Management. “Veishea and FPM work together very closely for all events that go on. We schedule numerous meetings with them before Veishea to go over tent layouts, electrical hookups and supply requests for the countless number of Veishea traditions,” said Sam Showalter, operations committee co-chairperson. The assistance Facilities Planning and Management provides is essential in carrying out Veishea events on a yearly basis. “In my opinion, Veishea would not go on without the work of the FPM team,” Showalter said. The operations committee, nicknamed the “backbone” per Showalter, cannot be in all places at once, however, “so we have Veishea corps members,” Owen noted. Corps members play a significant role during the week of Veishea. “Usually, there’s about 200 corps members and they help with the day-to-day functions of Veishea,” Owen continued. From assisting with parade routes to helping run various tournaments, corps members
can be spotted all over campus during Veishea week and act as a valuable aid to the executive committee. Joining the Veishea corps, an opportunity now past deadline for this year’s Veishea, can provide students with a way to help without taking on the responsibilities of a leadership role. “Corps is a good way to get involved if you want to be involved during the week of Veishea if you don’t have the time to commit to the rest of the year,” Morris said. Between overseeing the aforementioned corps members and numerous executive committees and maintaining constant communication with university officials, a sense of chaos could be expected at the executive level in regard to planning a large-scale event such as Veishea. Such is not the case for Owen and Morris, as strong communication with both the university and fellow Veishea team members has proved beneficial in preparation up to this point. “The biggest thing is communication. We have constant contact with different university officials for different things on campus, so that’s one of the biggest things — to stay organized with things happening,” Morris said. This is not to say that getting campus ready for the mid-April event is a breeze.
Leadership experience Planning and preparation is an ongoing process — when one Veishea ends, planning for the next one has already begun. For those seeking leadership experience through Veishea, Hilary Morris and Rachel Owen, 2013 Veishea executive board co-chairwomen, recommend starting out by getting involved with one of the executive board’s committees. Over 200 students comprise the Veishea corps. Veishea corps members assist in day-to-day activities throughout Veishea week such as assisting in the parade, tournaments, and other activities. Although preparation can be extensive, “it never gets too hectic; we’re usually prepared for the chaos,” said Owen.
“At times I think it’s a little hectic, but we also have a really good team of people this year. We can give them responsibilities and turn them loose and not have to worry about them too much,” Morris added. Owen agrees in her assessment of the planning process. “It never gets too hectic; we’re usually prepared for the chaos.”

Welch Avenue bars prepare for students’ Veishea celebrations Excitement on the rise in anticipation of event By Zoe.Woods @iowastatedaily.com
Graphic: Moriah Smith/Iowa State Daily Alcohol poisoning is a danger in college and people should take it seriously, especially while participating in events during Veishea. Don’t be afraid to call the police if help is needed.
Be smart about your alcohol consumption By Bailey.McGrath @iowastatedaily.com After a long week at school you’re at a party having a great time, when you notice one of your friends is passed out in the corner. Thinking they have just had a little too much to drink, you yell at them to wake up. After screaming their name, shaking them to wake up, you feel your heart stop for a split second when there is no response. Something is really wrong. Alcohol poisoning is a serious and sometimes fatal result of consuming too much alcohol in a short period of time. Austin Henshaw, prevention services graduate assistant, explains the steps to take to assist someone who has had too much alcohol. “If someone is passed out, they’re not just sleeping. You try to wake them up and they’re not responding,” Henshaw said. “[More signs are] slow, irregular breathing, like less than 8 breaths per second, cold, clammy skin, discoloration of the face, and shaking. Once a person has alcohol poisoning, check their breathing and look for other signs. If they have any of these signs you should immediately call 911, stay with the person and put them on their side to prevent them choking on their vomit, Henshaw said. “Some things you shouldn’t do with a person is give them water or something to eat,” Henshaw said. “That’s probably not going to
work because they will probably end up throwing it up anyway and could end up choking on it. Also, giving them a shower won’t be affective at all because it could put them into shock.” Henshaw said that students should never be afraid to call the police for help. “There is a medical amnesty policy ... as long as you corroborate when the police arrive ... they will excuse you at that point,” Henshaw said. “They wont get you in trouble if you are drinking underage or are intoxicated if you are calling to help somebody.” There are ways to prevent yourself and friends from the danger of alcohol poisoning. “The number one date rape drug is going to be alcohol in of itself,” Henshaw said. You can protect yourself from this by bringing your own drinks or keeping your hand over your cup. Kipp Van Dyke, program coordinator in the Dean of Students Office, meets with students if they go to the hospital for alcohol overdose. “[A good technique] is to put six pennies in your right pocket and as you have a drink move one penny from one pocket to the other,” Van Dyke said. Students should take into account how much they’ve eaten and drink plenty of water. Van Dyke suggests if students are going to drink, they should learn how much they are able to drink, and still be in a safe zone. “Find what that buzz is and learn how to maintain it.”
Veishea has been a part of Iowa State’s history since 1922, and because Veishea does not allow alcohol consumption on campus, some partiers quench their thirst on Welch Avenue. Many bars on Welch are preparing for the big celebration that has taken place for many years. The preparation and excitement have risen in anticipation for the week long event. “Veishea is our one week where we just expect pretty much all of the college aged kids in Iowa to be here. We expect every single bar on Welch to be packed and busy,” said Jasenn Greiner, manager of Sips. For Sips, Veishea is something that helps make their business thrive, along with many other bars along Welch. “It is a high-intensity, long work week. Even bar hours are extended, especially on the weekends. Like, we are open an extra three hours on Friday and six or seven hours on Saturday,” Greiner said. Just like Sips, Cy’s Roost also benefits from all of the action during Veishea. “Veishea is kind of one of the things we look forward to because we know that we are going to get an influx in business and we are all put to the test,” said Jon Weekley, manager of Cy’s Roost. “[Veishea] brings in many people, because there is so many people from around Iowa State coming in for Veishea itself … it provides a fun time for everyone throughout the day.” Veishea is also a time for friends to catch up on old times and revisit the past. “There is a lot of alumni coming back that went to Cy’s Roost when they were in school. They come back to Cy’s and see how it has changed and they interact with the bartenders and talk about how it was when they were here,” Weekley said. Bars like Cafe Mood and the Cave are also prepping for the exciting week to come. “Veishea is the highlight of the [spring] semester for bar businesses. We are busy on a normal weekend at 11 p.m. and during Veishea we are busy at 8 p.m.,” said Amber Forbes, manager for Cafe Mood and the Cave. To make sure that the bars on Welch are ready for whatever may happen during
Local bar cover charges for Friday and Saturday Café Mood & the Cave ■■ Starts at $5 and will increase throughout the night Cy’s Roost ■■ Starts at $2-$5 and will increase throughout the night Sips ■■ Starts at $2 and will increase throughout the night Mickey’s Irish Pub ■■ Varies (approximately $5) will increase throughout the night Charlie Yokes ■■ Starts at $3 and will increase throughout the night Cafe Beaudelaire ■■ Cover charge will be at $5.

Veishea, more alcohol is brought in to satisfy the demand people may have. “We usually bring in more alcohol just in case we need backup or run out of anything,” Brookhart said. Mickey’s isn’t the only bar preparing for the masses of people expected to roam Welch. “To be able to serve everyone and to have the proper alcohol selection for those extended hours, the amount of alcohol that we’ll sell is expected to go up,” Greiner said. Veishea is a perfect time for bars on Welch Avenue to get as many customers as possible. “Being here and having the high intensity, and the amount of people that come through the door is like ‘controlled chaos,’ that’s how I like to put it. It’s just trying to maintain peace in a fun environment for everyone.” Greiner said. Veishea will officially start Monday and continue through Sunday.

Traffic
Parking rules to remain same Follow regulations when picking spots By Meghan.Johnson @iowastatedaily.com Veishea is a well-known time of year in Ames, bringing an abundance of people to the ISU campus. With all the extra people coming to Ames, there will be even less parking. Parking on campus will be the same as it always is. Veishea is treated just like any other busy week on campus, much like during a football or basketball game. “Visitors can park in any meter, prepay stall, at the Memorial Union and pay the going rate,” said Mark Miller, program manager of public safety at Iowa State. “They can also park at the Iowa State Center and ride the orange route for free onto campus.” If visitors find it necessary, they can also get a visitor parking pass, which would let them park in any general staff or student lot on campus. Visitor permits can be obtained at the office, in Room 27 of the Armory, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., April 15-19. If visitors on campus choose to not follow these parking regulations, they will be putting themselves at risk of receiving a ticket. Tickets vary from $10 to $25 on campus. Tickets will be $10 at me-

30% - No, I enjoy the on-campus events as they are
File photo: Iowa State Daily The Live @ Veishea concerts were introduced in 2006 in response to the cancellation of Veishea in 2005, sparked by a number of riots. The weekend of concerts was an attempt to keep students safe and involved with monitored on-campus activities.
Popularity of ‘unofficial Veishea’ makes leaders, police weary of events By Katelynn.McCollough @iowastatedaily.com It could be said that 1988 was the year that started it all for Veishea. That is, it started the writing of Veishea history that the Ames Tribune’s editorial board described as the “tale of two Veisheas” in the April 28, 2012 editorial. Approximately 93 percent of students believe that there are “two kinds of Veishea”: the official and the unofficial. “The first time that we got this wake-up call that Veishea was not the Veishea we had known since 1922 came in 1988,” said Mayor Ann Campbell, who was a city council member in 1988. “We saw the first Veishea riot, and it was a very major one.” The 1988 Veishea celebration was marked with a full riot that included a bonfire in the middle of the street that resulted in a hole “several feet deep in the asphalt” according to ISU special collections records on the history of Veishea. The riot was put to a stop with the help of then-head basketball coach Johnny Orr and football coach Jim Walden. The 66 years between Veishea’s first riot and the creation of Veishea in 1922 were historically peaceful, with a brief reduction in events during World War II. However, the years following have resulted in riots in 1992, 1994 and 2004, the cancellation of Veishea in 2005 and the murder of Harold “Uri” Sellers in 1997 on the front lawn of Adelante Fraternity, the only student death that has been linked to the ISU tradition. Following the 2012 Veishea celebrations, the
Ames Tribune stated in an editorial titled “Is it time for ISU to end Veishea?” that the time had arrived to say goodbye to the 90-year-old tradition. Yet this year’s Veishea celebrations begin on Monday and look strong as a continued tradition. “If the events continue to stay of quality and the participation is there, then I think that there is value in keeping the official Veishea,” said George Micalone, the general adviser for Veishea. Micalone explained that the Veishea organization acknowledges the existence of both the official and unofficial Veisheas. “We have conversations about how we can take the official Veishea and have it influence the unofficial,” Micalone said. New events have been added since 1988 in an effort to encourage students to stick to campus when celebrating the week-long event. This includes the start of Taste of Veishea in 1993 and the Live@ Veishea concerts beginning in 2006. “Traditions are important around here,” said Tom Hill, vice president of student affairs. “[The cancellation of Veishea] would be a significant loss in my opinion.” Hill said the loss of Veishea would also mean the loss of student leadership opportunities and a way for students to show off their accomplishments to the community. The official Veishea brings these opportunities, but the unofficial brings an extensive police blotter and an extra cost on the community with the police force for that weekend.

1922
The first Veishea is held on May 11-13. There were 4,008 students enrolled at Iowa State at the time and 40 floats in the Veishea parade. The name Veishea was created by professor Frank “Shorty” Paine.

>>TWO VEISHEAS.p1C Last year, Mitchell Odell, a 21-year-old visitor to Ames from Cedar Rapids, fell to his death from a fourth-floor balcony on Chamberlain Street. Though this death occurred during the week of Veishea, there has been no direct link to the event. “We could say we are disconnected from the unofficial, but when you lose a life, you sit and wonder if there’s anything we could have done to save a life,” Hill said. “When you’re talking about the safety of people, I don’t think the institution will play games with that.” Hill said that every incident affecting Veishea requires its own careful consideration as to how the administration should respond. “Let’s focus on what we can all do to ensure a safe, fun Veishea,” said President Steven Leath in an email. “Look out for one another. If you see something that doesn’t seem right, say something. We don’t want the irresponsible actions of a few to put our community or a cherished tradition at risk.” This will mark Leath’s second Veishea at Iowa State, and it is so far unclear how he would respond to a riot or death linked with the tradition. “You can take some big football weekends when the weather is nice and it’s not a town you can be happy about,” Campbell said about how other community events can also get out of control. Campbell describes herself as a “child of Veishea” since she grew up visiting Iowa State during its annual celebration. “To say we won’t do this for fear of something else happening, we’ll have to stop a lot of things,” Hill said. “You’ve got folks who do stuff on a football weekend, but we haven’t talked about canceling football.” Thirty-eight percent of students said that they would continue to celebrate their own unofficial Veishea even if the official event was cancelled, while 34 percent said that they would not and 28 percent were unsure. “If we lost Veishea, there would be a period of mourning, without a doubt,” Hill said, “but I don’t think we would stop there.” In 2005 when Veishea was canceled by President Gregory Geoffroy, the administration and students came up with a new event called “This is your April” to fill in for the loss of the Veishea tradition. The new event was a month long with different activities being spread throughout all of April. “If there was no Veishea, I would clearly put something on the table like that,” Hill said, who was involved in the plan-
The parade sees its most participants ever with 90 floats. Veishea has grown to a $6,000 budget and Iowa State now has 6,220 students. The Fountain of the Four Seasons, in front of the Memorial Union, is unveiled during Veishea.

ning of “This is your April.” The event continued on during 2006 and was paired with the return of Veishea that year, but ceased to exist after those two years. Micalone, Campbell and Hill all said they hope to see Veishea continue, but they don’t support the activities that take place outside of the university. Campbell explained that even though the “complexion” of Veishea has changed from an event that drew in families and was a recruiting tool for the university, she is still is excited for Veishea each year. “I’d like to think it’s an exciting and totally unique experience that we can capitalize on without having the negatives,” Campbell said. “Nobody plans for the two Veisheas.”

Dessert
Pies make for tasty treat
In the beginning... The first Veishea cherry pie recipe
By Daniel.Bush @iowastatedaily.com One of the main attractions that bring people to the celebration of Veishea is the famous cherry pie, but with every tradition comes a beginning. The tradition started in February 1920 as the cherry pies were given away to 2,000 people, according to “A Century of Home Economics at Iowa State University.” “We are planning on making around 14,000 again this year,” said John Kramer, adviser of the Veishea Cherry Pie Committee 2013. There are three steps in creating theses pies: make the crust, cook the filling and assemble the pie topped with whipped cream. Although the three steps look simple, it really is a bit more tedious than it seems, said Jordin Robinson, marketing chair of the Veishea Cherry Pie Committee 2013. “We hand make everything, so we mix the filling, we mix the crust and press them and bake them ourselves,” Robinson said. Veishea cherry pies were made as a nine-inch pie until the 1940s, then were switched to a tart form like today. The tarts were pressed by hand up until the 1960s to 70s when really large quantities came with the dough sheeter at Knapp Storms Kitchen. Back in 2007, the students made around 10,000 cherry pies with 30 5-gallon buckets of cherries, according to the Joan Bice Underwood Tearoom website. With that same proportion, it would take 42 5-gallon buckets of cherries to amount up to the 14,000 cherry pies for this year. “Filling and crusts will be made at Knapp Storm Dining on April 12 and 13, frozen, and then turned into the pies on Friday and Saturday of Veishea,” Kramer said.

Cherry Pie Committee 2013, said they have a lot of volunteers due to the fact that some teachers give extra credit to students that help volunteer. “We have volunteers [helping] both Friday and Saturday the weekend we assemble them from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.,” Youngblut said. “And then again when we sell them from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday, the weekend of Veishea.” The first bake sale made about $500. Those sales went to the Ellen H. Richards Scholarship Fund, the Iowa Homemaker and the Constantinople Fund. Proceeds now are given to the Veishea Cherry Pie Scholarship Fund. Pies were topped with ice cream until World War II instead of whipped cream, due to food rationing. When Youngblut and Robinson were posed with the idea of ice cream on the cherry pies rather than whipped cream, both replied in the same fashion. “I didn’t know it was actually ice cream in it to begin with,” Youngblut said. Youngblut and Robinson gave their view of the tradition about the Veishea cherry pies. “Everyone should check out cherry pies,” Robinson said. “But I think everyone should at least experience a cherry pie.”
History of the cherry pies ■■ The first Home Economics Day was held in February of 1919. ■■ Veishea was created in 1922 to bring all the “days together and celebrate Iowa State University as a whole.” ■■ Cherries were chosen as the filling to honor George Washington, since Home Economics Day started in February. ■■ Veishea cherry pies were made as a 9-inch pie until the 1940s, which switched to a tart form. ■■ Pies were topped with ice cream until World War II instead of whipped cream, due to food rationing.

Q&A Swanson Interview
with Veishea mascot
Figure out what the bird loves about Veishea By Nicole.Presley @iowastatedaily.com
Q: What will you be doing at Veishea?
A: I’m going to try to go to as many events as possible. I want to see everything Veishea has to offer, including tournaments, food on campus and even being a dignitary in the parade.
Q: What’s your favorite part of Veishea?
A: I think my favorite part of Veishea are the concerts. I just love that Iowa State is able to bring in such great bands for such a low price. And it’s also cool to be able to brag to the other mascots about Veishea bringing in an incredible variety of bands.
Q: Are you good friends with Lancelot and Elaine?
A: I love Lancelot and Elaine! We’ve definitely become close this semester, and I’m glad that they’ve been so welcoming and helped acquaint me with Iowa State.
Q: Will you be hanging out with Cy?
A: I hope so. I have not seen Cy since our dance-off at Dance Marathon, but I’d love to have us hang out a little bit more during Veishea. Maybe we could even set up a round two of that dance-off.
Q: What’s your favorite tradition at Veishea?
A: I think that my favorite Veishea tradition is the parade. It has been a part of Veishea from the beginning, and I love going through old photos of past floats. Even though I have not experienced the parade yet, Allison Clem, one of the public relations co-chairs, told me that this was her favorite event when she was growing up and that I’ll have a great time!
Q: How can students interact more with Veishea?
A: For starters, they can attend the events. There are so many things that go on during the week and the best way to get the full Veishea experience is to go to as many events as possible! B.o.B is going to be at Live @ Veishea, there’s going to be a free Thursday night concert after Cyclone Idol, Saturday is chock-full of events, and there will be food on campus all week. Go and look up the full schedule on our website at veishea.iastate.edu, and I’ll see you there! Students can also follow Veishea on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news with what’s going on, including free ticket giveaways and videos from the artists coming for Live @ Veishea.
Q: Do you have a favorite tournament?
A: Battleship! The Executive Board recently had their battleship tournament and it was hysterical. I think you all should go to this one.
Q: Do you have a favorite band?
A: I love all of the bands that are coming this year, but I really like Blessed Feathers. I might be biased to the feathers part.
Q: What do you do to prepare for Veishea?
A: I’m going to take it easy this week and make sure that I get a lot of sleep. Hopefully that’ll help give me the energy to go to all of the events during Veishea.
Q: What are you most excited about?
A: I’m most excited to go to Veishea Village and see all of the great interactive booths, demonstrations and food. I’ve already heard about a lot of the organizations that are coming this year and I know that it’ll be a blast!
Q: Are you related to Lancelot and Elaine?
A: No. Unfortunately we are not related. We’re still really good friends, though. File photo: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State Daily The new Veishea mascot, Swanson, will be making appearances at many Veishea events this week. Swanson answered questions about his favorite parts of Veishea.
Developer of sustainable systems
A sustainable system integrates three main goals—environmental stewardship, farm profitability, and prosperous farming communities—to systematically address many of the environmental and social concerns of the entire food system. Agronomists take into account all of the interactions that support crop growth and their impacts on the environment and society.
