Barrington Hall (Berkeley, California)

Barrington Hall was a student housing cooperative in the University Students' Cooperative Association (USCA) (now known as the Berkeley Student Cooperative (BSC)) system in Berkeley, California, from 1935 to 1943 and 1950 to 1989.[1][2] It is currently privately operated student housing.

History

The original Barrington Hall was a Sigma Nu fraternity house on Ridge Road leased from that fraternity in 1933. In 1935 the lease was allowed to expire and USCA purchased a building located at 2315 Dwight Way, to which the name Barrington Hall was transferred.[3] The building was formerly the largest apartment house in Berkeley and would host 200 men when it opened the same year.[3][4] It was leased to the U.S. Navy from 1943 to 1948; the Navy returned the building significantly upgraded. Barrington Hall, along with all the USCA residences, was always open to all students regardless of race, religion or nationality. In 1967, Barrington Hall's house council voted to become co-ed, which prompted the University to revoke their accreditation on the grounds of acting "in loco parentis".

Throughout its history, Barrington Hall had a reputation for supporting social and political activism. In 1960, "Cal undergrads, particularly residents of the Barrington Hall co-op on Dwight Way, were part of the crowd of demonstrators protesting against the San Francisco meeting of the House Committee on Un-American Activities."[5] By the time of the People's Park Riots in May 1969, Barrington Hall, which was only two blocks from People's Park, was an infamous place in Berkeley. The devotion to cooperation in a nation committed to competition bore radical fruit after thirty-five years. Barrington became a 'safe house' for deviance, good or ill. It was safe for unmarried men and women to live together, safe to paint and draw on the walls, safe to do or sell any drug, safe to crash in if you had no other place to stay. In the 1970s and 1980s, some of its members were very active in the anti-apartheid movement, and offered sanctuary and meals to the homeless. In 1984, Barrington residents voted to make the Hall open as an official sanctuary for refugees from El Salvador.[6][7][8]

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, complaints against Barrington started piling up in the early 1960s. One example from 1983 noted: "Resident complains not fit for habitability. Live boa constrictor, fire, dried blood on her door, food and burning matches thrown at dinner, person wandering through halls brandishing a whip and striking the walls with it."[9] In the 1980s, the co-op was the focus of numerous accusations regarding drugs and noise.[10] According to the United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit,

Barrington Hall's reputation was larger than life, even by California standards.... If Berkeley, California, was the last bastion of sixties counterculture, Barrington Hall, the city's oldest and largest student housing co-operative, was surely the last rampart. While much of Berkeley became stuffy and conventional, the residents of Barrington Hall clung to their freewheeling ways. A bit too freewheeling, according to two of Barrington's neighbors. They claim that the co-op's denizens engaged in massive drug-law violations, turning the neighborhood into a drug-enterprise zone.... Barrington Hall prided itself on fostering alternative lifestyles.... Its bizarre and irreverent rituals included nude dinners with themes like Satan's Village Wine Dinner and the Cannibal Wine Dinner—the latter complete with body-part shaped food. These bacchanalian festivals often turned riotous...."[11]

In 1989, after three previous attempts to close the hall,[12] all defeated within the USCA by campaigns organized by Barringtonians and former Barringtonians, it was closed by a USCA referendum intended to stem the growing liability associated with Barrington's wild atmosphere.[13][14] The closure was fought by the residents during the referendum campaign, in court and in the building by student squatters.[15][16][17] In 1990, the USCA president stated "Barrington has a larger-than-life reputation. All across the continent, people know it as a drug den and anarchist household." The East Bay Express called it "the great Breughel painting of Berkeley campus counterculture," which was doomed by "a cocktail of drugs and radical-left politics".[18] The San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "Berkeley's last student bastion for radical behavior, is expected to close today—burying a civilization Margaret Mead might have chosen for her final expedition into cultural anthropology."[9][19] The squat climaxed in a night-long riot — in March, 1990, which began as a poetry reading — involving Berkeley police, off-duty police officers (hired by the USCA), and the residents. Fires burned 20 feet high, and 17 people were arrested.[20][21][22][23] Squatters were readmitted to the building the next day. A week later, one was killed in a fall from the roof manned by security guards.[24] The final eviction of all residents took place in September 1990.

The former Barrington Hall now serves as privately operated student housing.[25]

Musical history

Before legal arbitration with the neighbors in 1984, Barrington was a launching pad and petri dish for Bay Area Punk, and bands played frequently.[26][27]

In the early 1980s, the house band for several wine dinners was the Lemmings,[28] whose song "I'm on Sound" described the Barrington experience, with the chorus of the Onghh Yaangh tenet, "Those who say don't know. Those who know don't say." This song appeared on their eponymous first record, and the album's cover art, by Barry Spencer, was reproduced as one of the many murals on the Hall's walls.

The song "Frizzle Fry" by the band Primus as well as the theme of their album, Tales From the Punchbowl, was inspired by one of the Barrington's recurring parties, called "Wine Dinners", held at the house at which punch laced with LSD was served.[29][30][31][32] The pop group Camper Van Beethoven played at one such "Wine Dinner" in 1988-89, under the name Vampire Can Mating Oven. Black Flag, Flipper, X, NOFX, Operation Ivy and Dead Kennedys played at Barrington in the 1980s, along with hundreds of other punk rock bands. The song "Barrington Hall" by Les Claypool's Frog Brigade, released in 2002, is all about Barrington, and includes the lyrics "Just when I had thought I'd seen it ah ah ah all, I stumbled 'round the corner into Barrington Hall. Does anyone here remember Barrington Hall? Does anybody here remember Barrington? They care not for wrong or right, they electrocute the night, the people that live in Barrington Hall...."[33]

The legal arbitration restricted Barrington to three parties a semester with "amplified music", and so bands could only perform at Wine Dinners after that.

Musicians in the mid- to late-80s Barrington house band Acid Rain (later re-named Idiot Flesh) went on to perform with Charming Hostess, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Faun Fables.[34]

Murals

Much of the building, which was four stories high and a block deep, was covered with murals and graffiti.[35][36]

"Every surface in Barrington was covered with psychedelic murals and layer upon layer of graffiti. The graffiti wasn't just tags—it contained long debates about revolution, religion, art, everything.... which would go on for years."[37]

The tradition of murals began in the 1960s, and many of the "original" murals were painted by house members, such as a large mural of the Beatles Yellow Submarine. As times changed, so did the murals; the 1980s murals were more punk rock. But old murals were considered sacred by house by-laws,[38] and so the artistic expressions of several decades adorned Barrington, making its walls a living history of late 20th-century counterculture in the U.S.[39] One mural from the 1970s was of Sacco and Vanzetti. A prominent mural from the 1980s, painted in a neo-psychedelic style and with Japanese anime characteristics, made reference to 1950s icon Disneyland. Stationed just inside the front entrance of the building, it said:

"Welcome to Barrington, kids! Please keep your hands and arms inside the ride at all times."[40]

Graffiti was a tradition that began in the 1980s, and consisted of everything from large multi-color spray paint tag designs to merely scrawled words, such as "Only seven more shopping days till Armageddon."[40]

Insect banquet

For many years, there was a yearly insect banquet at Barrington Hall at which entomophagy was practiced.[41] It was often mentioned in Herb Caen's column in the San Francisco Chronicle.

New Member Disorientation

At the beginning of every semester in the 1980s, a new member orientation, called the "New Member Disorientation", was held for incoming students. Two films were shown, and nitrous oxide was procured for a big party. One of the films was a super 8mm film called "Leo and Phred", which depicted Leo and Phred engaging in sex acts while on heroin to the tune of "White Lines" by Melle Mel and Grandmaster Flash. The other film was a claymation film that featured "Onngh Yanngh." Onngh Yanngh was the legendary folk hero of Barrington. His motto — adopted from a famous quotation of Lao Tzu's — was "those who tell don't know, and those who know don't tell." The film was made circa 1980, and humorously tells the "story" of Onngh Yanngh. Later, when the neighbors filed a lawsuit against the USCA under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for drug sales in the building, one of their allegations was that Barrington actually did have a code of silence.

Cover art for The Barrington Bull, the periodical created at the Barrington Hall

Barrington Bull

The Barrington Bull was an in-house publication of Barrington Hall, published from 1936 to 1989. (The name was briefly changed to The Barbarrington in 1938.) It was the first USCA publication of any kind. Volume I Number I of The U.C.S.C.A. News appeared on October 24, 1938, "a publication," claimed the lead article, "designed to create greater unity of purpose and action among the five houses of the co-operative association." Ed Wright, the editor, was also the editor of The Barbarrington. Terry Carr and Ron Ellik, later to achieve great success in the science fiction field and indeed to win a Hugo Award for their fanzine, FANAC, were editors in the 1950s. In the 1960s, a tradition of giving each issue a theme began with Guy Lillian, also a Hugo nominee, one of whose issues (with cover by Pat Yeates) is shown here. Some themes from the 1970s include: The "Onngh Yanngh" Bull, Spring 1978 The "Wasted" Bull, May 1978 and "The Hippie Ghetto" Bull, Fall 1979.[42] [43]

Heroin

In 1986, the house manager admitted to being addicted to heroin.[44] According to George Proper, Manager of the USCA in 1987, residents of Barrington Hall had started to use heroin by 1985. In 1986, the USCA threatened to close Barrington after two heroin overdoses, and after it became apparent that nearly a dozen residents were using heroin.[45]

Lawsuits

Neighbors filed federal and state lawsuits against Barrington and the USCA, in an attempt to stop heroin dealing and collect monetary damages for loss of property value under the RICO act. "According to the factual allegations of plaintiffs' complaint, Barrington Hall residents collectively agreed at a house meeting to allow drug dealing at Barrington. At least nineteen different individuals within the co-operative sold drugs there, and drug sales have allegedly been going on at Barrington for over twenty years." The federal suit was dismissed in 1992.[46][47] The U.S. Supreme Court declined to grant a writ to consider whether to reinstate the federal lawsuit against Barrington on plaintiffs' theory that nuisance damage actionable as property damage under state law can, for purposes of finding a federal RICO violation, serve as the property damage necessary to such a federal action.[48]

The state court action continued after the federal courts declined to allow a federal racketeering suit. In 1989, the co-op voted to close Barrington. Its managers accepted the decision writing co-op members in November, 1989 that: "Although other co-op houses have had problems and difficult periods, the intensity and duration of the Barrington 'problem' is unprecedented."[44]

Since 1985, Barrington Hall had been attacked by neighbors over its residents' alleged drug use, noisy parties and generally rowdy life style. Last fall, the 18-house University Students Cooperative Association that operated Barrington voted overwhelmingly to shut Barrington. Added Denise Tukenmez, a three-year resident at Barrington and a biology honors student who dyes her hair bright green, 'Barrington is a place where you learned to accept other ways of thinking and challenge the prevailing ideas in society. There's really nowhere else like it.' Several closure attempts failed, but students in other co-op houses began to lose patience with Barrington after their rents were hiked in order to fight lawsuits.
  14. Steve Rubenstein (November 22, 1989). "Barrington Hall Lived Down to its Billing". San Francisco Chronicle. Barrington Hall of Berkeley is being shut down and I am going to miss it.... When I lived there, it was every bit the rowdy establishment its ticked-off neighbors say it is. I lived at Barrington Hall as a UC freshman in 1969, when Berkeley operated under even fewer rules than Barrington did.... 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."

When the University Students Cooperative Association voted to close Barrington Hall last November, the 166 University of California students who lived there were given until Jan. 20 to move out. The residence has a history of drug-dealing, poor maintenance and bad community relations, officials say. Most students left the house, but about 40 students refused to leave the building a few blocks from campus. And 15 of them have retained a lawyer to help them fight the eviction.

The 75 students who were driven out of the building gathered on Haste Street, about two blocks west of Telegraph Avenue. As they built barricades, lit fires and taunted police, the students were joined by many other young people from the largely student neighborhood four blocks south of the campus. Police formed lines on each end of the block and another in a parking lot across the street from Barrington. They held their ground for more than an hour and let the fires burn as high as 20 feet in the air. 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....

People who never knew Barrington as a student cooperative saw Barrington only as a place where huge parties, outstanding bands and mass quantities of drugs were found.

One such student was Giovanni Rossi Lomanitz, who arrived in Berkeley from Oklahoma in the late summer of 1940, a month before his nineteenth birthday. Big, extroverted, and cheerful, Lomanitz had been immediately swept up in the radical politics and bohemian culture of the place. He attended rallies opposing the deportation of labor leader Harry Bridges and joined the Student Workers Federation on campus. Moving into Barrington Hall, a dormitory that attracted students with similarly left-wing views, Lomanitz met other kindred spirits...
