Art project gets the shaft

Picture this: A perfect Sunday evening, with the temperature just barely above freezing. Recently fallen snow drapes the famous Tufts hill, and the entire campus basks in the brisk moonlight. Most students, having had their fill of weekend activities, are returning to their dormitories to further their scholarly pursuits. Many others have already fallen asleep, desperately trying to get a full night of rest before weeknight stress sets in. In front of Metcalf Hall, a handful of students are building what appears to be a snowman. What could be more delightful than carrying out a winter tradition with one's closest friends? Surely, the memory of such an enjoyable activity could live on for an eternity in the minds of the participants, a fond remembrance of four years spent at Tufts.
