NEWS LITE : NAMES IN THE NEWS TEEN SUSPENDED FOR COKE ABUSE.


If your high school guidance counselor guidance counselor Child psychology A school worker trained to screen, evaluate and advise students on career and academic matters  was right and there is such a thing as ``your permanent record,'' this is going on Mike Cameron's: In 1998, he was suspended for wearing a Pepsi T-shirt on Coke Day.

School officials in Evans, Ga., say the shirt was an insult to visiting Coca-Cola executives and ruined a school picture in which students spelled out ``Coke.''

Cameron says it was just a joke.

``In my eyes In My Eyes was a Boston straight edge band that spearheaded the 1997 youth crew revival along with Ten Yard Fight, Bane, The Trust, Fastbreak and Floorpunch. The band and its members were a part of the hot bed that was the Boston music scene in the late 90's and early 2000's. , I didn't do anything wrong,'' the 19-year-old senior said Wednesday while serving his one-day suspension.

``I know it sounds bad - Child suspended for wearing Pepsi shirt on Coke Day,'' said Gloria Hamilton, principal of Greenbrier High School Greenbrier High School is a school located in Evans, GA, a suburb of Augusta, GA.

The current school population is approximately 2,300 students.

The current principal is Dr. Margie Hamilton.
 in Evans, about 130 miles east of Atlanta, the world headquarters of Coca-Cola.

``It really would have been acceptable if it had just been in-house, but we had the regional president here and people flew in from Atlanta to do us the honor of being resource speakers. These students knew we had guests.''

Friday's Coke in Education Day was part of Greenbrier's effort to win a $500 local contest run by the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Augusta and a national contest with a $10,000 prize.

Cameron wore a blue-and-white-striped T-shirt with a small Pepsi logo underneath another shirt. He waited until just before the picture was taken to remove his outer shirt, Hamilton said.

``It's not a Coke-Pepsi war issue,'' she said. ``It has nothing to do with that. It was a student deliberately being disruptive and rude.''

The Coke executives did not even see Cameron's T-shirt and were not offended by the prank, said company spokeswoman Diana Garza.
