The Daily Illini Time is running out for students who want to suggest ways to spend the money from the contract between Coca-Cola and the University. The final day for submissions is today. Purchases being considered are updated campus maps in more visible locations, park benches on the Quad and pencil sharpeners in classrooms.
Conditions restrict how the committee can spend the money.
It must be spent on items that will benefit a large number of students, and it must be spent this semester. Past improvements made by the Pouring Rights committee include e-mail stations in the Illini Union and emergency phones on campus. The number of student responses has been low so far, Diaz said. The committee sent out a mass mailing request for ideas last week to student organization presidents and Greek houses and is still accepting ideas. The 10 students on the committee are combining their own observations with the e-mail suggestions to determine what would best serve the University.
