Maps of Madison
Description: Map showing the University of Wisconsin-Madison re-imaged as "Dizzyland" the campus taken over the by the student government party Pail & Shovel. The map shows many campus buildings and landmarks as they may appear at a carnival, each with a new name and purpose. Many of the illustrations tie into platform pledges of the Pail & Shovel Party, an admittedly absurdist party formed primarily as a joke. The party began campaigning in the spring 1978 student elections to convert the school budget into pennies to be dumped on Library Mall where students could use pails and shovels to take what they wished. The Party also promised to flood Camp Randall Stadium for mock naval battles and buy the Statue of Liberty and move it to Wisconsin. The original is in the Edward Ben Elson papers, papers, 1960-1983, held by the Wisconsin Historical Society.
