I have often wondered what it would take to get a college student to relax, take a breather, and step back from their crazed college routine. In today's fast-paced world, it seems cell phones are almost as common as bubble gum in the backpack of a college student. Instant food, instant messaging, and even instant care, push them to move faster and work harder, as they try to cram 28 hours into a 24 hour day. They have harder classes, work longer hours, and live under the false belief that newspapers will tell them all they need to know about the world today.
Relaxation is out of the question and recreation means surfing the internet.
But do not let this discourage you. According to Logan Fun Park manager Jake Fackrell, hope is not yet lost. Just before the end of the semester last year, Fackrell started the weekly Saturday night Disco Skating Fever at the Logan Fun Park. An atmosphere that permits college students something new, something exciting and something cheap. Imagine an era where baby blue Camaros and red Mustangs with thick, white racing stripes, cruise the streets blastings Abba's Dancing Queen , along with songs by John Denver and the Beatles.
