Over in Holyoke Center, Goyette offers a stronger defense of its non-policy toward lot 81. He stresses what he believes is the crucial value of the land (it's "very important," he stresses) to the University and insists that the land is "simply in a holding pattern," waiting to fill its major role "some time in the future...

It is more a dark, undifferentiated jumble held loosely together in some incomprehensible pattern. It is this realm of internal speech, of irrational and fragmented emotions that Berio explores in his works...
