Pail & Shovel Guide to the Madison Campus After Pail & Shovel Gets Its Hands On It
| Map of the University of Wisconsin-Madison re-imagined as "Dizzyland", the campus taken over the by the student government party Pail and Shovel. The map shows many campus buildings and landmarks as they may have appeared at a carnival, each with a new name and purpose. Many of the illustrations tie into platform pledges of the Pail and Shovel Party, an admittedly absurdest party that had formed primarily as a joke. The party began campaigning in the spring 1978 student elections to convert the school budget into pennies to be dumped on Library Mall where students could use pails and shovels to take what they wished. The Party also promised to flood Camp Randall Stadium for mock naval battles, buy the Statue of Liberty and move it to Wisconsin. |
