Tim Sweeney, associate di
rector for student activities and
yell leader adviser, said in a
University Relations news re
lease that despite the changes,
yell practice will go smoothly.
“We realize this will be dif
ferent, but the committee is
confident that our students,
former students and visitors
will adapt easily,” he said in the
news release.
North and south end gates
will open at 11 p.m. for yell
practice. Sweeney said he en
courages all those attending
yell practice to arrive within
ample time to avoid confusion.
“Those planning to attend
Friday night’s yell practice are
encouraged to arrive well be
fore midnight to allow time to
adapt to the new seating plan,”
he said.
The University has a contract
with the Coca-Cola Corporation,
requiring them to sell only Coca-
Cola products.
Because Lemon Chills are not a
part of Coca-Cola, the University
would be violating its exclusive con
tract by selling the beverage.
Christine McCabe, a sopho
more speech communications
major, said that besides the size,
she doubts the new product will
be much different.
“I think it is unfair that we are los
ing four ounces but paying the same
price,” McCabe said. “I’d try it, but I
doubt that it will be better than the
regular Lemon Chill.”
Keith Mackie, the division manag
er of ARAMARK Corporation, the
company that provides concessions
for A&M athletic events, said profits
from Lemon Chill sales do not ade
quately support the University.
“Lemon Chill can’t support the
University the way they need to be
supported,” Mackie said. “Not be
cause they are a bad product,
though.”
The A&M Athletic Department re
ceives 34 percent of the net sales
from ARAMARK vending profits. The
profit is added to their revenue pool.
Money from the pool is used for
expenses such as scholarships,
equipment, supplies and salaries
within the Athletic Department.
Bob Moore, owner of Lemon Chill
and Moore, said losing business is
never welcome but this loss is not
devastating.
“We hate to lose business any
where, but it won’t affect our overall
business,” Moore said. “We’ll keep
our focus and keep doing what we
are doing.”
Lemon Chill and Moore was start
ed in Fort Worth in 1989.
Minute Maid’s Soft Frozen
Lemonade was first introduced
this summer at the Atlantic
Olympic Games.

Buses
Continued from Page 1
Julie Beightol, a junior biology major
who lives off campus and uses the bus
es to get to class, said the system has
“worked out quite
well” for her.
“The bus has been
late a few times, es
pecially in the morn
ing,” she said. “Some
times buses will
come, but they’ll all
be full.”
Shanda Almond, a
senior sociology major
who also uses the off-
campus system, said
she waited for a bus for
“The first couple
of weeks, we
don't go by the
schedule.”
Trevor Hull
Driver trainer
Hull said most of the problems were
“just a matter of getting back into the
routine.”
“The first couple of weeks, we don’t
go by the schedule. We just try to keep
the buses spaced out, but that all
comes together eventually.”
Dispatchers are in constant con
tact with the buses to
keep service running
smoothly.
“We’re constantly
looking to see where the
most passengers are,”
Skrabanek said. “All day
long they’re adjusting to
what they see out there.”
Scott Smith, a senior
sports management ma
jor and frequent bus pa
tron, said the bus system
still has a few kinks.

15 minutes Thursday morning, only to
have two show up at the same time.
“Still, it’s way better than park
ing,” she said.
“We pay a lot of money [to ridel a
hot bus,” he said. “It’s a little ridicu
lous. It’s the best way, but it still
needs improvement.”
“It needs to be appealing
to students.”
In radio advertisements,
Seaback and other bar own
ers have encouraged cus
tomers to use DAB Transit.
Alex Cates, owner of
Dream Associates Advertis
ing Agency in College Sta
tion, is donating his time to
DAB Transit.
“My vision is to see bus
loads of college students ...
who will be saving their
driving records, court costs
and possibly their lives,”
Cates said.
“We have Vice President
Gore backing us, Kay Bailey
Hutchison and other large
sponsors who are beginning
to support us.”
