Well, maybe the Academy should put a condom on that thing before the plebes make their ascent (non-lubricrated variety, of course).

I believe the 2nd year class lubes the monument.

One year they thought chickenwire would make it harder to wip it off the sides. They plebes used it as a handhold and it took I believe just minutes if not seconds to scale to the top and swap covers.

You don't want to make it too hard. Nobody goes on liberty until the deed is done.
