Both of these are possibilities for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to try to increase student interest in residence hall snack bars. Ron Burke, UNL director of food service and food stores, said Pepsi gave the snack bars more than $100,000 as part of the beverage con tract, most of which will go for remodeling and new equipment. “Pepsi is going to help us mer chandise the snack bars,” Burke said. Ellen Hardy, buyer for the univer sity food stores, said the low student interest was due to a combination of many factors. “I am not positive there is any one reason for the decline in student inter est,” Hardy said. “It may be due to the fact that students have easier means of transportation, and can go any where off campus they want to eat.” University Housing is concentrat ing on the snack bars in Abel Residence Hall and Harper Residence Hall because they are used most frequently. Burke said they were considering many options. “We have discussed a conve nience store at Harper, and we have also talked about some type of sub shop, like a Blimpie’s, for instance, in the halls,” Burke said. Steve Ford, a representative from Pepsi, said whatever kind of estab lishment goes in will sell Pepsi prod ucts. “We would establish some kind of deal with the vendor through their contract,” Ford said. “Pepsi would provide the company with the same support as far as marketing, and other support as their previous beverage supplier had.” Ford said Pepsi would be involved with coming up with ideas for the future renovations. “We will be involved with decid ing what types of equipment will be installed, and we may involve stu dents in the decisions, based on what they want in a snack bar.” Ford said Pepsi is considering selling six-packs or two-liter bottles of soda in the snack bars if there is Feeling Unhappy with die Way You Look?
