...like the few surviving nooks and crannies in Cambridge, the wall has a tagged past. Around this time a year ago, graffiti in psychedelic swirls and dark hues plastered the walls. Add to the picture some trashcans and a few stray cats that perpetually inhabit them and you have a wholly depressing image. But Sarah L. Gogel ’06, founder of Art Squatters, saw something entirely different. She envisioned a public art space behind the graffiti.

"Even if the p.r. does reach a new audience, Play Golf America doesn't change any of the problems that crop up once you get to the golf course." These include matters of etiquette--How many practice swings can I take?--that can intimidate new players. Alexander says the course owners, not the golf pros, must run the reforms.
