Let the ‘Countdown to Veishea’ begin

Brian Klein

The College of Business and the College of Design will kick off Veishea with a little something for everyone.

In the last month, the College of Business and College of Design have been busy drawing up plans for their versions of “Countdown to Veishea,” which will take place on April 14.

The College of Design will provide breakfast before classes in the morning and a submarine sandwich lunch, which will start at noon in the Atrium.

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., students can rest and relax during their free time and enjoy live entertainment and a variety of games.

The College of Design has booked three student bands. If the concert does not last until 3 p.m., a D.J. will take over the music, said Roger Bear, assistant dean for the College of Design.

Bear said a push to put a ‘D’ in Veishea is also being made by the College. A 60-foot sign stating the college’s idea will be at the atrium for all the design students to sign.

“We’ve been ignored long enough,” said Bill Boone, a professor in the College of Design,”The ‘D’ should be for darn it, we count for something.”

He said art is a mechanism for problem solving and that all aspects of science are trying to solve problems that in essence, lead to design.

The College of Business also has a full day of activities planned.

Students will be able to look into career possibilities at an open house of two new career centers from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Students can get some “goodies” and visit the new Anderson Undergraduate Service Center, located in Carver 204, and the College of Business and Liberal Arts and Sciences Career Service Center, which is located in Carver 208, said Ty Henderson, a member of the Business Council.

He said from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., students from the college can get free Mr. Goodcents sandwiches in the hallway outside of Room 204 Carver Hall. College of Business clubs will display information about their organizations in the hallway.

“It will be a dissemination, information and get-to-know sort of deal,” Henderson said.
