Tanned students are not the only new things at the University of Kansas since spring break ended.
The University and Coca-Cola placed 15 new vending machines in areas around campus during break. The additions include Minute Maid juice machines, can machines and 20 oz. soda machines like those already in place.
The Coca-Cola Company owns Minute Maid.
The machines were placed in classroom buildings on campus.
"There was a mutual agreement between Coke and the University to add the machines," said Theresa Klinkenberg, University director of administration. "This will help Coke with their product selection."
Klinkenberg said some vending machines were taken out of scholarship halls at the halls' request because of a need for space.
In spring 1998, the University signed a contract with Coke for $7 million up front and $450,000 a year for 10 years in exchange for exclusive rights to sell its products on campus.
One health-conscious student welcomed the new additions.
"I think it's great for people who don't want to drink carbonated drinks," said Matt Jordan. Leawood sophomore. He said he would purchase vending machine drinks now that juice was available.
Klinkenberg said the University got the idea for the new machines after two journalism classes recommended ways to market Coca-Cola products.
Previously, if students wanted juice, it had to be purchased at the Kansas or Burge unions or Wescoe Terrace.
"I don't think it will take anything away from those places," Klinkenberg said. "We've placed them in areas that I don't think will affect them."

College student dies after boat sinks
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — A boat carrying at least nine college researchers studying spiders and scorpions sank off the coast of Baja California, killing as many as three people and prompting an international search for the missing.
Four people swam to safety on a nearby island and were rescued early yesterday, said Lisa Lapin, a representative for the University of California-Davis. A search was on for the others.
The school said graduate student Mike Rose and a visiting Japanese scholar were killed. The Coast Guard also said two people died, although the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City confirmed three deaths.
Among the missing was Gary Polis, chairman of the schools' department of environmental science and policy and one of the world's leading experts on scorpions and spiders, said Paul Sabatier, the department's vice chair.
The boat was one of two 22-foot inflatable crafts carrying a total of about 20 people on the trip Monday to research spiders and scorpions on an
island near Bahia de Los Angeles, a remote bay 250 miles south of the U.S.-Mexican border.
The two boats became separated on their return when strong winds whipped up 4- to 6-foot waves, UC-Davis said in a statement.
It was not clear who else was on board the boat that sank
from what we understand, there was a mix of students, faculty and visitors from Japan," said Pat Bailev, another school representative.
The boat that made it reported the other craft missing late Monday, prompting a search by the Coast Guard and the Mexican navy.
Mexican naval ships and Mexican and Coast Guard aircraft searched the area yesterday under clear skies. Coast Guard representative Shannon Knight said rescue crews would conduct a first light search today.
Located in a rugged, desert landscape, Bahia de Los Angeles is a tiny collection of hotels and tourist campgrounds that is a popular destination for sports fishermen, kayakers and wildlife biologists.
