Lee D. Filerman 
Although he lives in New York City, 
Lee D. Filerman found out that in 
1 980, the best place to photograph 
the Statue of Liberty was Lake 
Mendota, Madison, Wisconsin. It 
seems that when the flamboyant Pail 
and Shovel Party seized control of 
the student government at the 
University of Wisconsin, they lost no 
time fulfilling their campaign 
promise to bring the Statue of 
Liberty to Madison. At a cost of 
$4,000, the students erected a 
styrofoam, metal, and wood 
structure to represent the statue, 
which, they claimed, had sunk 
through the ice. The Pail and Shovel 
Party sculpture has since been 
disassembled, while the party itself, 
having left the student government in 
debt, keeps a low profile. Filerman, 
a work force administrator and grant 
writer, has no professional training 
in photography, although he has 
been at it for many years.
