Summer jobs for hundreds of students also in offing

· Pepsi-Cola Montreal is giving Concor­ dia $250,000 along with a commit- · ment to provide summer jobs to several hundred Concordia students during the next severi years. The job pledge is a major provision of a licensing agreement signed recently that makes Pepsi-Cola the official campus sup­ plier of soft drinks between now and 1996. The donation will help to finance the new stadium on the Loyola Campus. Under the terms of the agreement Pepsi­ Cola Montreal will allocate 20% of its sum­ mer job openings to Concordia students. The firm employs about 250 students each summer for periods of up to 16 weeks. At an average weekly salary of $440, the pledge will result in estimated earnings of $2.5 mil­ lion for Concordia students. The donation was announced Monday by James A. Smith, President of Pepsi-Cola Montreal, at a news conference in the Henry F. Hall Building Faculty Club. Smith and Concordia officials both praised well-known sports and media per­ . sonality George Springate, Chair of Concordia's Stadium Appeal, for his initia­ tive in arranging the agreement with Pepsi­ Fitness, Recreation and Athletics Director Bob Philip (left), Pepsi-Cola Montreal President James A.

He speaks of his involvement on the Board of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, "one of Montreal's three major cultural institu­ tions, along with the symphony and the opera.
