There's an article in The Post about renovations to McCracken Hall.

They quote one education major "They've made all the walls able to be written on . . . so we can write anywhere as we think."

Sounds like a recipe for graffiti.

Anyone know what what she's talking about ?

That's what I thought,white board walls,.
The question is,why ?

Robert, for what it's worth, we have 'white board' like walls at work, and it's way better than the ones that you're referring to. Very easy to wipe off, unlike how it used to be. The walls are basically like white glass. No idea if this is what's getting put in, but I know there's a better alternative these days.

Remembering from personal experience, Alan? ;-)

In about 4th grade I had to scrub graffiti off the boys' restroom walls, along with some classmates. I used too much Spic&Span and took a layer of paint off. I then had to go back and do all the walls with the same concentration of Spic&Span so that the walls were all the same color. This whole experience was strange because I had not actually written any of the graffiti, but when asked I confessed to something I hadn't done because all of the cool guys had done it and it made me feel like I was part of the cool guys club. Peer pressure can be strange in grade school. Now, by the time I was in junior high school, I was in the principal's office several times for infractions that I had actually committed. Thanks for bringing back the memories, Alan!
