Saunders Saturdays in Kenan TOO concession enerate large revenu e By CLINTON WEAVER ..- Most UNC students have been to a school football game here, and spent their afternons drinking Cokes and munching on hot dogs and peanuts. The conces sion stands which provide these drinks and snacks generate large-scale revenue for the UNC Athletic As sociation. The associaton should make a profit of $100,000 this year from football concessions, said William Pea cock, Kenan concessions coordinator. Peacock said he anticipated a total gross in conces sions safes of $300,000 this year, one-third of which will be profit. The jnoney goes to the athletic associa tion, and is sometimes used for concession stand re- novations. ' ; The association expects to gross about $50,000 per game this year. The biggest gross sales this year were at the Vanderbilt game, when $70,000 to $75,000 was taken in, Peacock said. Hot dogs net around $10,000 each game and peanuts net around $2,000 to $3,000. Peacock said-the new UNC plastic cups have boosted revenue considerably. The 22-ounce drink sells for $1, and 102,000 of them were sold at the Van derbilt game, he said. Hardee's donates the cups to the association. v : r : w-: Peacock said the strength of the Kenan concessions program is the quality of the people who operate the stands. Workers from local churches and community organizations operate the stands. They are paid 15 percent of the gross sales. The New Hope Presbyte rian Church has assisted in concession sales for 30 years. The concession program was begun in 1952.
