Pepsi gets beverage contract
To become official, deal still must receive
regents’ approval in Saturday meeting
By Terra Chapek
Staff Reporter
Pepsi products will b e the only
choice for University of Nebraska
Lincoln students this fall if the NU
Board of Regents approves a contract
Saturday awarding Pepsi the exclu
sive right to sell its products on UNL’s
campuses.
Pepsi will have the exclusive right
to sell or provide its products through
their local franchise bottler, the
LinPepCo Partnership, in exchange
for awarding the university $ 1 million
a year for 12 years. Pepsi also will
donate $ 100,000 a year for 12 years in
a charitable agreement. In a separate
contract, Pepsi will give $ 11 million
to the University of Nebraska
Foundation for a quasi-endowment
fund.
Melvin W. Jones, vice chancellor
for business and financial affairs, said
the money would be used for
enhancement of academic and stu
dent life programs, scholarships,
diversity commitments and commu
nity service. Jones said information
regarding which programs will
receive contract money would be
announced in the fall.
Although there was some opposi
tion among the students, Jones said,
the alliance would be a huge advan
tage to the university. Pepsi’s offer
will allow the university to make
some needed advancements in acade
mic and student services without
going to the taxpayers, he said.
“This alliance will help the uni
versity to compete more effectively
for students and faculty,” Jones said.
Jones said Pepsi was awarded the
contract because of its reputation and
the popularity of its products among
students. Pepsi- Cola Co. brand
names include Pepsi, Diet Pepsi,
Mountain Dew, Lipton Brisk Iced Tea
and All Sport.
Jones said Pepsi was very respon
sive to the university’s proposal.
“We agreed that the students are
our most cherished asset,” Jones said.
Keith Hughes , the manager of
public relations for Pepsi, said the
UNL contract is “certainly the most
significant that has ever been signed
.” Hughes said Pepsi chose UNL
because it is a powerful force in
Nebraska and the Midwest. He said
Pepsi is highly enthusiastic about
being at UNL in the fall.
“There’s no equal to the intense
loyalty shared by Nebraska students
for the university,” Hughes said.
“Pepsi is thrilled to become a part of
that loyalty.”
A celebration to commemorate
the alliance between Pepsi and UNL
is being planned for the fall, Hughes
said.
“We are looking to make a big
first impression and really add some
fizz to campus life in the fall.”

The NU Regents will meet

ments to Memorial Stadium, a

computers to UNL computer
labs and approval of tuition rates.

Women’s basketball team
still waiting for new coach
By Mike Kluck
Staff Reporter
A new week has not brought
any new answers for the Nebraska
women’s basketball team.
Last week, it was expected
that Western Kentucky University
coach Paul Sanderford would be
announced as the new Nebraska
women’s basketball coach.
NU officials late last
Thursday had announced a press
conference for June 13 and
Sanderford arrived in Lincoln late
Thursday afternoon.
Sanderford said he was in
town to have a meeting with
Nebraska Athletic Director Bill
Byrne but could not discuss any
of the details of the situation.
“It’s (Lincoln) a great place to
visit and I hope to live here some
day,” Sanderford said when he
first arrived in Lincoln.
However, instead of announc
ing a new coach jon Friday, NU
officials cancelled the press con
ference when a scheduling con
flict arrived because Chancellor
James Moeser was out of town
and couldn’t be present to sign the
contract.
Sanderford left Lincoln and
returned home to Bowling Green,
Ken., on Saturday.
Sources close to the situation
have said Sanderford, Byrne and
Moeser have reached an agree
ment to the contract and
Sanderford should be back in
Lincoln by the end of the week. As
of 5 p.m. Wednesday a press con
ference had not been scheduled by
the Nebraska Athletic
Department.
The delay in the hiring of
Sanderford has been especially
difficult for the Nebraska players,
who have been waiting since April
22, to learn who their coach would
be for next season. On April 22,
former Husker coach Angela Beck
announced she was leaving
Nebraska to accept a position with
the San Jose Lasers of the ABL.
“I know I am looking forward
to finding out who our coach is
going to be,” said Nebraska
sophomore Cisco Gilmore. “We
are pretty anxious. It’s the 17th of
June.”
Gilmore is just one member of
a talented sophomore class return
ing this season for the Huskers.
Other sophomores include Nicole
Kubik, Charlie Rogers and Brooke
