This summer Colby's new admissions building, the Lunder House, was completed. The Admissions and Financial Aid offices were moved across the street from their old home in Eustis into the gray Lunder House. Occupying the space in Eustis are the Career Services office and Office of Off-Campus Fire Fouls up Fall Study. (R.L.) Concert
The fire that left the fieldhouse in a state of destruction has caused this fall's concert plans to be "up in the air," according to Tullio Nieman, director of Student Activities. Colby had photo by Cina Wertheim originally put in a bid for the Indigo Girls, who are touring Happy Colby First-years acoustically in September and with their band in November. However, in light of the fire, these plans have been indefinitely suspended. The idea of a show running for two nights in the Happy, Happy Colby Student Center is under consideration, according to Nieman. (R.L.) Colby students were ranked among the happiest in the nation, according to a survey published in USA Today. Other categories published were thebestacademics , the most boring teachers, dorms most like prisons, and thebest-lookingstudents. Overcrowding on Over 100 students from 245 top colleges were asked to evaluate Campus their schools in a survey created by the Princeton Review firm.
