Over half of all high school seniors who state their intended majors on college applications graduate with something completely different on their diplomas. But what do you do if your emerging passion doesn't have a corresponding major? Even though built space is always around us -- in dorms, in classrooms and even, however precariously, in frats -- students of architecture at Dartmouth must blaze their own trail. Amy Davis delves into the small community of Dartmouth students and faculty who are looking at the world through blueprint-colored glasses.

This issue's topic -- architecture on campus -- holds a special place in my heart. Right next to the place where I store this happy memory:
Just over a year ago, my sophomore fall, I decided to pursue my long-standing interest in architecture more concretely and enrolled in Architecture 1. One of our first assignments was to build a tower, which could support two eggs, six feet off the ground, three feet apart from each other, out of 18 sheets of paper without tape, glue, or anything else.

I am afraid of 2008 celebrity style. While ordinarily I would be first on line to trade places with them, stylistically speaking, this year not so much. Go to E! Online and look at the dresses actresses wore on the Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet, and you'll see what I'm talking about. It seemed like every star missed the mark in their dresses: the boxy faux boho gowns, wannabe ethereal smocks and the little black dresses gone astray. Especially having seen the gorgeous spring Paris couture collections that just concluded (look up Valentino's last collection of his 45-year career some time), I am disappointed in our movie stars. Where did glamour go? What happened to the flawless fits of yesteryear?

Imagine that it's spring and you're lying on the Green enjoying the sun. Now, let's imagine sitting on the Green in 1890: There is a yellow museum where Baker Library usually stands, and Dartmouth Hall is wooden rather than brick. None of "Administration Row" exists, and what about Collis? It has been replaced by another yellow building -- this one called the Balch House.
