Barrington Hall, a tired four-story building south of campus, was a co-op, not a dormitory. This meant that the people who lived there were supposed to run the place, a concept perhaps ahead of its time.... Soon I got kicked off the maintenance crew and onto the telephone switchboard crew. That job involved fielding incoming calls, often from parents. With suitable bribes, a member of the switchboard crew could be induced to tell parents that a particular student was studying in the library, when she was actually visiting her boyfriend's apartment. The other duty of the switchboard operator involved making long-distance calls on behalf of Barrington residents who all seemed to be using the same telephone credit card number, the one printed in that morning's edition of the underground newspaper.... The food was bad. It was trucked to the hall from the central kitchen in a vehicle we called the slop wagon, which was being kind. At Barrington, residents subsisted on self-serve peanut butter sandwiches from the snack lounge. After dinner, we members of the dish-washing squad wore thick rubber gloves and aprons. We also wore swimmer's plugs in our noses, even though the aroma of the discarded slop was certainly no more unpleasant than the teargas wafting nightly over Sproul Plaza.... Maybe it's true that Barrington has had a less couth and civilized clientele since my time there, but somehow I doubt it. Maybe its day is past. Maybe I should have been kicked out myself."

The students turned the event into a street party and danced around the barricades yelling obscenities and making obscene gestures at police. After the crowd thinned, police gradually moved forward and firefighters began hosing the flames, but they quickly retreated when they were met with volleys of rocks and bottles. Firefighters then sprayed demonstrators and the building. The confrontation remained in a stalemate for about an hour as police advanced, then retreated....
