Campus soda prices up 10 cents
Cost has increased for first time in 11 years
By Tom Winter Kansan staff writer
Students may find themselves scrambling for change to purchase soda across campus this summer.
KU Concessions and Kansas Union Food Services both have raised the price of soft drinks.
The price of a can of soda jumped to 60 cents on May 29. This is an increase of 10 cents from last semester.
Pat Beard, manager of building services and director of KU Concessions, said this was the first vending machine price adjustment in more than a decade.
Beard was one of the men who recommended the increase.
"It's been 11 years since we've had increases, and in all of that time we've had other increases come to us, pay increases and increases in machine costs." Beard said. "The Unions used to be sales tax exempt on vending equipment."
: Beard said the 6.9 percent state sales tax now is incorporated into vending sales.
In addition to the vending machines, there also has been a 10 cent increase in the cost of a cup of soda in Wescoe, Union Square, the Hawk's Nest and the Burge Union.
Jay Glatz, manager of food services for the Kansas Union, recommended the price increase.

"There were two reasons for my recommendation," Glatz said. "First, there has been an increase in the cost of paper goods. Second, there has been an increase in the minimum wage."
Although the increases are campuswide, neither Glatz nor Beard anticipate increased revenue for their departments.
Beard said KU Concessions was accommodating the department's decrease in income because of lower enrollment in the past few years. He said that this was expected to be the last price increase for several years.
