Arriving back lo Northwest, we discovered a new age as the Electronic Campus Plus pilot program was initiated for 100 freshmen. The need to re-open the first tloor of Perrin Hall was created by the large number of freshmen enrt)!led. The once all- female residence hall was transformed when 26 men moved in. only to discover they would have to be moved when renovations to Colden Hall and the Administration Building moved - offices to Perrin. Renovations could also be seen around Maryville after fires sent seven residential dwellings, three restaurants, a lumber yard and an educational facility up in smoke causing an estimated $1 .7 million in damages. Students lost their homes and owners struggled to build back their businesses that were lost to the fires. Not all was lost as coffee houses became the rage and we could not wait to drink espresso from Gourmet Pleasures or The Leaded Bean. We sipped Java and crowded in to listen on open mic night.
