Every student who loads up on caf
feine by drinking Pepsi should be thank
ful for Caleb Bradham’s dream of per
fecting a mixture of syrup, spices and
soda water.
In 1898 Bradham created “Brad’s
Drink” and later renamed the drink
Pepsi Cola.

Other candidates for the board
expressed different sentiments regarding
student votes.
Commissioner Bill Crowther, who is
running for re-election, said he had not
talked with students directly but had
sent out a letter to county residents who
voted in the last election or had regis
tered to vote in the last six months.
“In the mailing, I involve students by
discussing issues that affect them.”
Candidate Wes Cook said he felt stu
dents had just as much right to express
their opinion as anyone else but that he
had not done anything specifically
focused on them.
“I’m just focusing on representing
the taxpayers and their concerns,” he
said.
Thorpe said that although classes
would be finished by the May 5 elec
tion, student input was still important
because the decision would affect them.
“Even though students will not be in
school when the election takes place,
they will need someone who will repre
sent them when they return next fall.”
Sophomore Daniel Munns said he
was not planning to vote in the upcom
ing election. “I don’t know enough
about the issues to vote in this election,
but I’m glad the commissioners are sup
porting the University community."
Freshman Greg Knight said he was
excited about local government becom
ing more involved with students. “I am
not a registered Orange County voter,
but I am glad that the University is able
to work closely with local government."

Four years later, he formed die Pepsi
Cola Company in the back room of his
pharmacy in New Bern with the inten
tion of marketing his creation.
And 100 years later, the North
Carolina born-and-bred drink is still
going strong.
New Bern celebrated the anniversary
April 3-5 with parades, concerts and
tours.
“Pepsi’s 100th anniversary is an
important milestone for the company
and for all the people of North and
South Carolina,” said Allen Fleischer,
chairman of Carolina Pepsi Botders.

beer, though. Now that would be hard.”
Meredith Keyes, a senior from
Lenoir, is also enjoying the adorable
puppy age of her 5-month-old black
Labrador retriever, Talon.
Keyes likes to take advantage of the
UNC campus by running, playing ball
or just spending time with Talon.
“It’s convenient because it’s a small
place, but with lots of places to walk
around,” Keyes said. “I like to walk
around in the quad and get her used to
being around other people and other
dogs.”
However, not all students who own
pets planned to have one. Brandon
Holmes, a junior from Annapolis, Md.,
surprised his friends when he came
home one day last year with a puppy.
“I found her on the street in Denver
eating trash,” Holmes remembered. “I
was definitely debating whether I could
take responsibility of a dog, but she

a bill with a lot of holes.”
Jarrell said the bill could eventually
result in a monopoly of the industry
controlled by casinos.
“I think (Web gambling) is taking
away from (casino) profits and they
want everyone to sit at a table that they
control so that they, and they alone, will
profit from this industry,” he said.
“This bill will come in and kill a very
young industry with a lot of potential.”

“(100 years) goes to show that it’s a
long tradition,” said Ivar Dameron. a
junior from Winston-Salem.
Satisha Bissram, a sophomore from
Roanoke Rapids, said, “They should
have a Pepsi Classic.”
Jason England, a junior from New
York City, added, ‘TOO years proves how
good it is.”
Some people showed their love for
the carbonated beverage by taking part
in New Bern’s anniversary party.
“The celebration was a lot of fan,”
said Geralleen Wood, who went to New
Bern Saturday to enjoy the activities.
“There were booths up and down the
street with all kinds of food and activi

ber saying, ‘I can’t believe I’m doing
this.’ ”
Jazzmine, a dog of mixed breeds and
part wolf, has become an integral part of
Holmes’ life since that day. She goes
almost everywhere with him, including
lacrosse practice and class.
“I try to get to class early so I can get
her some water,” Holmes said. “Then
she’s ready to nap in class, then go hang
out in the quad and play ball after
wards.”
Holmes shocked many students and
professors when he brought his friend
into the classroom on the first day.
“Watching their reaction amuses
me,” he said.
Having a pet is not optimal for every
college student though.
“It depends on who you are and what
lifestyle you lead. You have to have a
relationship with the animal, and of
course it costs money,” Holmes said.
“I’m so glad I kept her, though,
because she’s truly an amazing animal. ”
Gambling Prohibition Act, would
require Internet providers to shut down
anyone engaged in Internet gambling.
Individuals convicted of running a
gambling Web site could face up to
$20,000 in fines and four years in prison
under this law, while those convicted of
virtual gambling would be subject to a
fine of up to $2,500 or six months in jail.
Dale Sekovich, spokesman for the
Los Angeles bureau of the Federal
Trade Commission, said the law would
be hard to enforce. “I think it would be
quite difficult to regulate because the
Internet right now is wide open.”

Bob Stoddard, Pepsi historian and
collector, toured North and South
Carolina with his recendy-released
book, “Pepsi, 100 Years.”
Stoddard also arranged an exhibit,
“ 100 Years of Pepsi,” that will be on dis
play in downtown New Bern March 12-
May 8.
The New Bern exhibit, which con
tains Pepsi memorabilia, is free and
open to die public.
“We are proud to call the Carolinas
our home and look forward to celebrat
ing Pepsi’s anniversary with the
Carolina community,” Fleischer said.

Bradham was forced to declare bank
ruptcy during World War I, but Pepsi
was too popular to die.
Several owners made attempts to help
the company thrive, but none were suc
cessful before Charles G. Guth.
In the height of the Great
Depression, Guth was able to invigorate
the company and help it expand.
By 1976, Pepsi Cola had become
America’s single largest-selling soft
drink brand in supermarkets.
By the end of the 1980s, there were
more than 600 Pepsi Cola plants
throughout the world.
Today, Pepsi Cola’s profits total more
than $1 billion.
