Wonder if snowballs are still acceptable?

No more naughty sculptures at Ripon College (WI):

Frosty the Snowman is in. Six-foot penises are out. A new policy at Ripon College, in Wisconsin, decrees that only snow sculptures that are "tasteful" and "reflect the academic mission of the college" will be permitted on the campus. Transgressors will face a $50 fine, plus any dismantling costs. In the case of anonymous sculptors, the charges will be absorbed by the residents of whichever building the offending artwork is closest to.

Reminds me of a Harvard kerfuffle a while back. What is it with college students and obscene snowpeople? At least there's a general rule in place here, instead of a lot of hysterical statements about the patriarchy.
