Students, apathy, no change.


Running an architecture student website has to be a both thankless and intermittent intermittent /in·ter·mit·tent/ (-mit´ent) marked by alternating periods of activity and inactivity.

in·ter·mit·tent
adj.
1. Stopping and starting at intervals.

2.
 activity. Intermittent because you have nice long university hols hols  
pl.n. Chiefly British
Days spent on vacation.



[Short for holidays, pl. of holiday.
, when students have better things to do, and thankless because you tend to do this stuff voluntarily and students still have better things to do. So I wasn't too surprised to draw blanks after clicking News and Gossip on the British Students Union site at www.students-union.net. It's actually a nicely designed site and easy to navigate, although you have to do the ridiculous and off-putting business of registering. And I'm bound to declare that the site has some support from our sister weekly. The Archi Archi (är`kī): see Archite.  tects' Journal. Content is king on the web and this site hasn't got a lot of content apart from a small amount of student work, some dull, some interesting (take a look at Massimo Minale's Microsound Bartlett project). Whatever, there are lots of good intentions here facing the usual student apathy apathy /ap·a·thy/ (ap´ah-the) lack of feeling or emotion; indifference.apathet´ic

ap·a·thy
n.
Lack of interest, concern, or emotion; indifference.
. One solution might be a guerrilla takeover by non UK students from, say, Delft Delft (dĕlft), city (1994 pop. 91,941), South Holland prov., W Netherlands. It has varied industries and is noted for its ceramics (china, tiles, and pottery) known as delftware. Founded in the 11th cent.  or Minneapolis.
