Most U of A students were completing finals and looking toward to another summer vacation. Many go home and get a summer job. That wasn ' t the case for 1 6 U of A students who packed up their bags to spend a unique summer working and playing at the Vacation Kingdom of Walt Disney World. Through a co-op program we were able to attend business seminars while working at Disney. The seminars enabled some of the students to earn college credit for this summer in Florida. Most of the U of A crowd lived in Snow White Village, a trailer park consisting of 400 college students from around the country. Speaking from my personal experiences, I would have to say it wasn ' t everything it was cracked up to be. The vacation ended after a month, but the friends I made gave me the will to survive the bad times. It was a unique experience that I wouldn ' t do over, but I wouldn ' t trade those memories for anything. This summer brought a lot of U of A students together. We met new friends that had lived right next door in Arkansas, but it took the common cause of partying in Florida to bring us together. We were all ready to return to the wandering hills of Fayetteville, but we all still hold the memories of Disney, friends and the summer of ' 87. Disney CO-OP 19

Mackenzie Phillips, above and left, a red shirt freshman football player for the Razorbacks, was not a typical football player. Last year, Phillips had a heart attack during a Springdale High School game and collapsed on the field. Despite preseason hype and worry, Phillips was doing quite well. Mackenzie has made all practices, lifts weights with the team, and should play well for us next year, Head Coach Ken Hatfield said. Mackenzie is a big, strong ball player.
