7 U August 31 marked the beginning of the 1983-1984 academic year for 483 freshmen and 63 fall transfer students. New student orientation revolved around an intellectual theme including a discussion of George Bernard Shaw ' s Major Barbara. 1983 marked the shift from a completely informal orienta- tion to a more focussed one in order to bring the students more effectively into the liberal arts atmosphere of the Colorado College, and to provide a feeling for the block plan. In September, students were greeted with 58 new Texas In- struments Professional computers. These were installed in convenient locations on campus for student use. The addition was well-received and was a step in bringing high tech- nology to the Colorado College. Dober and Associates visited campus and proposed a plan for the expansion and renovation of several buildings. Olin Hall would be expand- ed from 60,000 net square feet to 134,000. Palmer Hall would be enlarged, and Rastall would be razed or a major addition built on. The Dober Plan brought mixed reactions from students and faculty alike. 8 Memoirs
