...floor was filthy because it had not been swept; it had not been swept because maintenance funds were inadequate; the maintenance funds were inadequate because the huge and prestigious University of California (nine campuses, $1 billion annual budget) has for the past four years been involved in what Berkeley Economist Cheit calls a "cost-income squeeze" that is prototypical of problems facing other large U.S. educational institutions...
...faculty but millions of dollars in research grants. "Those were the years the cookie jar was open," says U.C. Riverside Vice Chancellor Carlo Golino. "All you had to do was dig in and pull out a new laboratory."

...emotions are much possessed by death. From his early Buchenwald illustrations to his latest environments, Paris remains a poet of ritual and mortality: he has even been known to bury an invisible sculpture sealed in a black coffin as part of a happening, and one large environmental piece at Berkeley, Pantomima Illuma (1966), is a kind of tomb, a black chamber with soft walls and eerie pencils of light on ambiguous, fleshy bits of sculpture. Paris' work is that of a rich and disordered temperament, which manages to be both heavily serious and slightly glib...
