Title

Veishea lawn display for Homecoming, 1980

Description

""Dance for Those Who Can't"" on this Homecoming lawn display refers to the Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon that occurs close to Veishea. With a model of the campanile in the background, two dolls are shown dancing as well as two football players tackling each other, while Cy directs events with a baton.
Alumni first began returning to Iowa State for an official Homecoming in 1912. Since then, the celebration continues to entertain both young and old Iowa Staters, with traditional events, including tailgate parties, fireworks, lawn displays, ""Yell Like Hell"" cheering competition, and mass campaniling. Currently, the Student Alumni Association Leadership Council coordinates the efforts of hundreds of students, who volunteer their time to help Story County Habitat for Humanity build a house.
