Seizing the Means of Construction

  • The theme of this year's CPW is Communism!
  • It would be awesome if you thought of ideas on how to make East Campus seem like a more oppressive totalitarian regime.
  • (Though apparently we're not allowed to have book burnings)
  • It would also be awesome if you had ideas that have absolutely nothing to do with the theme!
  • Add your ideas to the lists below, even if you can't do them yourselves.
  • Please either give a short description of your idea, or link to a page in which you explain further
  • Claim ideas that you want to do!
  • Be creative! Supposedly you're good at that.
