Last year the emphasis was on change, but we wanted to get past that this year. Veishea will be celebrated the week of April 12, with most events scheduled Friday through Sunday, April 16-18. The groups first agreed to the pledge prior to Veishea '98. Veishea's educational outreach component was changed to community outreach, and the 450 students on various Veishea committees hope to log 1,999 hours in community service by the end of Veishea weekend. The Stars Over Veishea production this year is Anything Goes , a musical from the 1930s featuring songs of Cole Porter.
All shows are in Stephens Auditorium.
The pie stand is in 16 MacKay. Faculty or staff members selected by college councils for exemplary work will be honored during a 5 p.m. reception Wednesday, April 14, in the Memorial Union Campanile Room. A Veishea professor or staff member of the year will be announced from among the college finalists at the reception. Faculty also will get a chance to represent their colleges during a cook-off contest at noon Friday, April 16, on central campus. Contestants will vie for the tastiest spin on a grilled hamburger.
