Former Comhusker trades NU for Nike By Jennifer Johnson Staff Reporter_ Paul Miles, a former Comhusker running back and currently student affairs special assistant for minority students, will be leaving the Univer sity of Nebraska-Lincoln to work for Nike Inc. Miles will start in May as a techni cal manager at Nike in Atlanta. Miles has been an assistant to James Griesen, vice chancellor for student affairs, since February 1988. He earned a bachelor’s degree in speech com munications from UNL, and currently is pursuing a master’s degree in sports psychology. His new job will include a number of responsibilities, including presen tations on the technical aspects of Nike shoes and clothing. Miles said Nike representatives discovered him in Portland, Ore., where he was the keynote speaker at a din ner last year. While working at UNL, Miles said, he has spoken not only to adult groups, but also to more than 34,000 children and teens in the past year concerning issues such as drug abuse, alcohol abuse and peer pressure. Miles also has spoken to groups of athletes on the importance of aca demics vs. athletics. “I will miss most of all my friend ships and associations with many kids and supporting adults,” Miles said. Miles said he is excited to have the opportunity to be associated with an established product. Nike is a large enough corporation to finance pro grams for youths, he said. One of Miles’ jobs will be to run clinics for underprivileged children and youths in general, he said. Miles said that leaving the job he has enjoyed will involve some diffi cult transitions, but there also will be some perks. ‘‘I am looking forward to, as a person who enjoys being athletically active, not ever having to purchase workout gear anymore,” Miles said, Default Continued from Page 1 in the nation, he said. It is being used by colleges in Nebraska, Colorado and Iowa. If Unilink could be duplicated throughout the United States, Martin said, it would save taxpayers bil lions. Martin said defaulting on loans makes students ineligible for fu ture loans and any other federal or state aid and taints their credit rat ings for up to seven years. Students also can be sued and forced to pay court costs, their accounts can be turned over to professional debt collection agen cies, their federal income tax re funds can be seized, and a portion of their wages can be withheld. A person with “any brains up stairs’ ’ would want to avoid those things, Martin said. Martin said that because many graduates arc faced with the pres sures of new jobs, marriages and possibly children, they only may need reminders of the seriousness of-loan defaults. Martin said many students who are contacted are eligible for defer ments on their loans, but don’t realize it. Those students only need to Fill out the necessary papers, Martin said. A couple of years ago, Martin said, he was depressed about the default situation because he didn’t see any solution. Federal government officials did not do anything to help colleges lower their rales, even though they expected the institutions to do so, Martin said. -1 I Buying Continued from Page 1 said. Chad Tolly, assistant manager of the Hilchin’ Post, said that even with small price increases, sludcnLs recently seem to be buying more. “Students like to keep up with fashion trends,” he said. Himmclfarb said marketers often have preconceived notions that stu denis don’t have a lot of spending money. “Many marketers use this as a reason not to go after the student .market,” he said. But Himmclfarb said those no tions show many marketers aren’t aware of students’ buying power. “We have found that college stu dents are very active in purchasing everything from toiletries and cos metics, to food, cars and consumer electronics,” he said.
