Police shut down the second annual “Epic Snowball Fight on the Arts Quad” Wednesday, apprehending a student, confiscating tin shields and knocking over a six-foot snow penis.

The scene on the Arts Quad on Friday was one of mass destruction — ground upturned, bodies lying breathless and shots fired unceasingly from every direction. On the other side of the country students at Berkeley may have been throwing fire to advocate for public education, but Cornellians hurled snow with equal intensity in what may well have been the biggest snowball fight ever on the Arts Quad.
