| V-Day meets P-Day on campus. |
| 2005-05-03 |
| College administrators have been enthusiastic supporters Eve Ensler's play The Vagina Monologues and schools across the nation celebrate "V-Day" (short for Vagina Day) every year. But when the College Republicans at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island rained on the celebrations of V-Day by inaugurating Penis Day and staging a satire called The Penis Monologues, the official reaction was horror. Two participating students, Monique Stuart and Andy Mainiero, have just received sharp letters of reprimand and have been placed on probation by the Office of Judicial Affairs. The costume of the P-Day "mascot" — a friendly looking "penis" named Testaclese, has been confiscated and is under lock and key in the office of the assistant dean of student affairs, John King. Rest at link. |

| #9 So will the Princeton or Stanford band be first celebrating P-Day at half time this football season? I can see the tubas and trombones making a real contribution. |

| #7 I want to go on record in favor of ''B-Day'' butt let's be inclusive. Let start with the top and include the bottom! Either way it's something we can grab onto and feel free of biass. |

| #4 âTestacleseâ tipped the scales when he approached the university Provost, Edward J. Kavanagh, outside the student union. Apparently taking him/it for a giant mushroom, Provost Kavanagh cheerfully greeted him. Yeah, I can see why he's the Provost... |

| #2 LOL--This is hilarious! They need to get a bunch of demonstrators chanting outside King's office, ''Set my penis free!'' I think we need a B-Day (Breast Day) with an amply-endowed mascot called ''Testa-these''. |

| #1 The costume of the P-Day ''mascot'' â a friendly looking ''penis'' named Testaclese, has been confiscated and is under lock and key in the office of the assistant dean of student affairs, John King. Wouldn't that make it a King Dong? |
