The University of Rochester has commissioned a sculpture from left wing artist Tom Otterness, who also has a history of animal abuse in his artwork.   Anti-capitalist Marxism is another common theme that Otterness delves in with his artistic pieces.  

Sculpture Magazine describes a couple of his Marx-inspired works:

Today I was back at Edinboro University with a Sandwich board looking for conservative students.  Since most people either love or hate Glenn Beck, I decided to put "Glenn Beck for President" on the front.

Upstate New York Field Rep for the Leadership Institute, Trevor Leach, will be at SUNY Brockport all day today (Tuesday, September 29th) to aid student activists in starting "right of center" groups and publications.  Students in the State University of New York system (SUNY) should be especially concerned with the direction their state government is taking.  Faced with one of the largest budget decifits ever and ever growing debt - our blind bureaucrats in Albany have decided to shift this burden to students by increasing tuition. 

The Young Americans for Liberty of SUNY Buffalo will be taking the campus by storm today in order to distribute a potion of the 25,000 custom copies of our fundamental doctrines as American citizens: The U.S. Constitution, the Decleration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation.

Last year I went to Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and was unsuccessful at tabling. It is a large campus and it's tough to find the heavy traffic areas.  This year I went back and decided to table in front of the cafeteria right before lunch.
