Walt Disney World Company representa
tives are coming to Texas A&M to offer under
graduate students the opportunity to live,
work and learn with Disney for the Spring
1996 College Program.
Students chosen to participate in the Col
lege Program work at the Walt Disney World
resort in Orlando, Fla. and attend business
seminars to gain a greater understanding of
the Walt Disney Company. Academic credit or
recognition will be earned.
With almost 1,400 students expected for
the spring 1996 session, Dawn Brogan, Walt
Disney World college relations manager, said
College Program participants have a variety of
work options.
Students can work throughout the Walt
Disney World resort in several areas such as
attractions, hospitality and merchandise.
College Program students work at least 30
hours a week and earn $5.60 an hour.
Jessica Grayson, A&M campus representa
tive for Walt Disney World, said the college
program is a rewarding experience.
‘‘I can put on my resume that I worked for
Disney,” Grayson, a junior marketing student
and summer 1995 College Program alumnus,
said. “It’s such a reputable company.”
“When you put that costume on, the guest
is the number one priority," Grayson said.
Grayson said participating in the College
Program means “you’re part of the company.”
The Walt Disney Company orientation
process is called Traditions.
“Disney shows you all the details and all
the work that goes into everything — even the
trash cans,” Grayson said.
A significant part of Traditions is receiving
a name tag.
“It is a big deal to get your name tag,”
Grayson said. “They put your hometown on it.
I had Fort Worth, Texas, on mine. All kinds of
people would just start talking to me.”
Fall 1994 College Program alumnus
Carlos Rodriguez said the program offers
unlimited opportunities.
“I’ve been wanting to work for Disney
forever," Rodriguez said. “Before I left, I
was always dropping by The Disney Store
to get psyched up.”
Both College and International Program
members live in fully furnished two- or three-
bedroom apartments in Orlando. Rent and
utilities are deducted from each paycheck.
International Program participants
work in the World Showcase pavili
EPCOT Center.
Each participant works in thepavi
represents their country.
Rodriguez, a senior marketingaai
agement major, said he had all interr.
al roommates.
“There was Marco from Mexico;;
from Scotland; Christoph from Frat
drea from Italy; and Bo from Chin
said. “They’re the best thing thatha:

Activist groups strive for nondiscrimination in Montrose ai
□ Proprietors are asked
to sign a pledge,
promising not to
discriminate against
anyone.
HOUSTON (AP) —- Busi
nesses in Houston’s Montrose
neighborhood have been placed
on notice: Discrimination
against anyone — for any rea
son — will be practiced only at
their own financial risk.
Two activist groups have
started a yearlong drive to
make Montrose, the heart of
Houston’s gay and lesbian com
munity, a “discrimination-free
zone” by rooting out prejudice
at various businesses and ask
ing proprietors to sign a nondis
crimination pledge.
The pledge promises no prej
udice against anyone on the ba
sis of race, sexual orientation,
religion or physical disability.
If business owners refuse to
sign it, then they will be placed
on a boycott list, leaders of the
effort say.
“Once we sign up the Mon
trose businesses, we’ll head out
into other parts of Houston,”
said Terri Richardson, presi
dent of the Houston Gay & Les
bian Political Caucus. The gay
and lesbian population in Mon
trose has been estimated at
more than 150,000.
The first target was Eduardo
“Ed” Trevino, owner of La Mex-
icana Food Market & Restau
rant, who admonished a lesbian
couple not to kiss in his estab
lishment several months ago.
The political caucus and the
African-American Lesbian and
Gay Alliance chose Trevino to
launch their effort on Sunday,
holding a news conference in
the restaurant parking lot for
Trevino to render hisprt
“Everybody is welcoi
place,” Trevino said, ri
a half-dozen members
two activist groups.
Accounts of the Ic
episode at La Mexicana
Richardson and Kei
ard, vice president of the
cal caucus, described
simple kiss.
Trevino called it “a si
cident” and said the>
“were going at it
too much.”
All agree that he appi
the women and asked
to stop.
