A bill requiring the Board of Regents to study the benefits and practicality of reinstating VEISHEA at Iowa State University, House Study Bill 545, passed out of subcommittee on Thursday.
VEISHEA began in 1922 as a student-run celebration named after the five colleges: Veterinary, Engineering, Industrial Science, Home Economics and Agriculture.
VEISHEA celebrations included a parade with floats, bands and novelty balloons, in addition to open houses for departments to showcase their activities and accomplishments.
The following day, Student Body President Hillary Kletscher met with Iowa State University President Steven Leath and his cabinet.
VEISHEA celebrations were suspended.
