Burning the midnight oil many times have you driven by the Architec- ture building at 3:00 a. m., and see every light in place on and people everywhere? Why would anyone major in something that hard? you think to yourself as you drive on by. It ' s not as difficult as peo- ple think, but it ' s extremely demanding, said Franklin Flint, Architecture Depart- ment associate dean. The Architecture depart- ment, despite it ' s demanding curriculum, is quite personal. By the time you reach your second year you ' ll know all your classmates, Dean Flint said. The five year program is extremely selective. Accord- ing to Dean Flint approxi- mately 800 students apply each year and only 250 actu- ally enroll for the pre-profes- sional first year. Students then wishing to proceed with an architecture major must reapply for the professional phase of the pro- gram. About 120 students apply for the 51 available spots. I ' ve had a lot of good times academically and socially, fifth-year architec- ture student Kevin Hallock said. As you progress in the program the competitiveness gives way to camaraderie. After being together for five years we ' ve become a close knit group, Hallock said. Kevin Rademacher Left: Mireille Robbler. third year student. works diligently on one of her projects.
