A & S Council ]~lectioris
Oops Appointn1ents
Student Council Elections
were not held this year due to a
lack of participation. Out of
thousands of UL students, only
36 candidates applied for the
available 36 positions. ·
John Smith, president of the
council, said that he thought the
council should be cut down to
24 members. Sinith went on to
say, "Elections are usually held
in the spring, but last spring we
only had 23 applicants for the
36 positions, so applications
were taken this fall." ' Smith
blamed this on an "apathy
wave" on campus for the past
three years in regard to the
Student Council.

Pepsi Cola price inc)rease photogr•ph by Mich ... Brohm
Bring Your Own Bottle!
by Gary Mills
Planning to buy soft drinks
from vending machines on
compus'! Then you had better
bring along some extra change,
because as of October I , prices
increase from 15 cents per
twelve ounce can to 20 cents.
Resulting from a request from
Pepsi, prices will mcrease by Jj
per cent above their present rate.
When asked if the rise in cost
was necessary. Mr. Bill Davidson,
UL business manager, reported
that after due consideration of
Pepsi's contract with the
University. it had been decided
that Pepsi's request was
legihnnate and within the bounds
of thE~ir agreement which allows
for p;rice increase due to rising
cost in manufacturing and
distri1>Ution.
In answer to questions
conce:rning the legality of the
price increase, the stabilization
anct wage control division of the
Internal Revenue Service says
that s:uch an increase is legal for
a company if they can show
reasonable rise in production
cost. But if complaints are
received concerning a rate
increase. the Internal Revenue
Service will investigate.
According to Mr. Davidson,
other solutions were considered,
including smaller portions or
even re-negotiating of contracts.
After consideration, however,
Pepsi was still the number one
choice even wtth the price
increase.
Pepsi cited the following
reasons for the increase: the cost
of cans has increased to 7 cents,
service charges have increased to
18 cents, delivery costs are 13
cents per case, supervision wages
are up by 5 .5%, vendor costs are
up by 4.5%, and the new
Kentucky tax on gas has
increased the cost of fuel for
delivery trucks. These and other
factors have led to the necessity
of ·increased prices according to
Pepsi.
I n order to maintain a
suitable margin of profit the
both Pepsi and the University,
the prices had to go up.
"The University, ' says Mr.
Davidson. "does not stand to
increase its guarantee, which is
approximately 15 thousand
ctollars per year. ••
