Greetings As you read this, I have no idea who you are or why you might be interested in the University of Arkansas. You must have some interest or you wouldn ' t be looking through this thing, right? What I hope you ' ll find though, is a glimpse of what the UA is. If you ' re an alumni, you ' ll find some things that never change. If you ' re a student, you ' ll see many of these things yourself. If you were here during the 1985-86 school year, I hope you ' ll see a lot of things that bring back happy memories. As you look through the pages, study the pictures and read the words, think of the times you and your friends had there. Remember the classes you almost fell asleep in, remember the classes you did fall asleep in and remem- ber the classes you laughed in. Think about the people you met. Think about the people you hated and then laugh about them. Think about the old friends with whom you shared new ideas and times. Think about the fun times you shared with new friends. I ' m not telling those who weren ' t here that the year was perfect. It was a far cry from that. There were bad grades and low times when nothing seemed to go right. There were snowy days when the car was too cold to run and it was too cold to walk. And some days were just plain cold. And for heaven ' s sake-WE LOST TO TEXAS. OK, so a loss to Texas wasn ' t as bad as a rotten grade, but it sure felt pretty awful when it happened. Especially to those of us (like me) who had waited four years for the Longhorns to return to Fayetteville. But on to more important things. Coming to school meant a lot of changes for almost everyone. Even if it wasn ' t your first year here, you had to change from being semi-free after work (unless you went to summer school) to remembering that homework has to be done sooner or later. If it was your first year here, it was probably time for a little independence. It was time to wash and dry your own clothes and to decide if ironing was really worth all that trouble. Anyway, what my staff and I had in mind as we planned this publication, was to present a picture of what the 1985-86 academic year was like. That ' s not easy to do because we couldn ' t be everywhere and we just couldn ' t get everything. We weren ' t always around when students were just horsing around in their rooms or apartments. We didn ' t always see the little bird that walked across the sidewalk in front of you on your afternoon walk. In some of our sections we ' ve tried to focus on the people and places that make the University a special place. In the Faces section, we ' ve done a few mini-features on noteworthy students or groups. In the Features, Events, and News section, we ' ve capsuled the year ' s campus, local, state, and national news so browsers in the future will know what was on the minds of students, staff, and faculty members. We ' ve tried to jazz the Academics section up with a doser look at faculty and programs in each of the colleges that help it educate its students. Athletics features a look at how professional Razorbacks are faring and highlights the new coaches and their assistants. It introduces the Hawgball era of Razorback basketball. Unfortunately, because of deadlines we won ' t be able to cover the ends of some of the seasons. (Considering the delivery dates of the last six or seven Razorback yearbooks, I hope you appreciate how far out on a limb I ' ve gone with that statement.) On the last few pages of Athletics you ' ll find coverage of the sports clubs active on campus this year. The Opening section takes you around campus and puts you in the mood for good memories. We hope it captures some of the sights you hold dear and gives you a warm feeling. I guess what we ' ve tried to do in these pages is express what it was like to be a student on the Fayetteville campus in 1985-86. I hope you find lots of friendly faces and happy memories in the pages to come, and I hope the words and pictures we ' ve worked to put down express your feelings about your time here. If you ' re just a stranger browsing through, I think you ' ll see an accurate picture of what the year was like. Why? Because students put this book together, and they felt everything students feel. You can turn the page now and see where everything is. Enjoy your browsing and best wishes. I ' ll see you again at the end of the book. Donna R. Forst, editor.
