Coke vs. Pepsi

The 1948 photograph of me at Laguna Beach definitely has me drinking a Pepsi. But I am actually a Coke drinker now. So why do I have Pepsi logos on my web pages? The reason is simple. Some years back UBC and the AMS cut an exclusive exclusive deal with Coca-Cola. Why an instituion of higher learning would think this made sense is beyond me, but they did. In keeping with the spirit of the UCLA student in the 1960s who took out a paid add in the Daily Bruin to protest a contest to see which living unit (dorm, frat or sorority) would buy the most athletic socks in support of a camp fund for under-privileged kids, I didn't support the corporate presence Coca-Cola had at UBC. The student had no objection to atheltic socks, camp for under-privileged kids, or contests. He did object to the prize, which was Donna Michelle coming to dinner at the winning living unit.
