"Venus of the Yard" Appears Briefly In Front of Grays Hall During Night

Aided by the New England cold spell and a plentiful supply of snow, a group of undergraduates molded the "Venus of the Yard" in front of Grays Hall last night, only to see their creation go down before the blows of members of Colonel Apted's Yard patrol.

According to the sculptors they received their inspiration from similar pieces of art how being constructed by a group of artists up in a backward town in New Hampshire known as Hanover. "We thought that John Harvard ought to have some female company on these lonely nights even if she is a bit cold," the Crimson artists explained.

Just as they had finished their masterpiece, a Yard cop inquired, "What do you think you are going to do, put Radcliffe on that?" The issue was finally settled when the law enforcers insisted they had to destroy the young lady because her creators did not have a permit for their project.
