Amazing space
The meditative motif was meant to help passers-by slow down, Pollard says, and to reveal a landscape that they had, perhaps, taken for granted. “Some people started to walk the path, but then the clock went off and reminded them to get to class,” she says. But a few students scurried past with eyes wide shut: “One person literally tripped over me—she was talking on her phone.” The design is not technically a maze, Pollard explains. “A maze is meant to confuse, a labyrinth is meant to calm. It’s a universal symbol. People may not understand, but they do seem to get it.” —Linda Schmidt A drink deferred More than 30 members of Cal’s 1958 Rose Bowl team gathered, appropriately, at the Rose Garden Inn on Telegraph Avenue to root for the Bears as they battled USC on October 9. Among the attendees were Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates, Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Kapp, and East-West Shrine Game director Jack Hart. “As proud as I am of our accomplishments,” Bates said, “I can tell you the ’59 Rose Bowl Bears are ready to give up our claim as the last Cal team to play in the Rose Bowl.”
In an early November interview, before the bowl bids were officially announced, Kapp noted the possibility that Cal might be denied the chance to run for the roses. “If by chance we get shuffled out in this process,” he said then, “I’m thinking of asking for a papal dispensation.” We’re on the phone to the Vatican. —Carolyn Jones |
