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

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.

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.
