Suggesting Events
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.
- Claim ideas that you want to do!
- Be creative! Supposedly you're good at that.
Big Ideas
Construction
- Build an Iron Curtain (exact definition unclear)
