Carnegie Mellon had "the Fence" which took care of some of the tendencies. It used to be a wooden fence, but it had been painted by groups for so long it was no longer apparent as wood. It was in the middle of campus and was painted by student organizations on campus. Very strict rules on painting it, but the rules were largely unwritten and enforced by the groups themselves. It could only be painted between midnight and 6AM and the fence had to be held by a member staying at the fence until midnight. Only twice did the administration feel it was necessary to paint over what a group had done and one of those was when anti-france slogans had been done the night before the president of France was to speak at the school.
