Berry said he will consider the council's concerns about PepsiCo's human rights record and will decide between Coke and Pepsi by Friday.
"I will take your resolution into consideration. I will also take getting you good products and service into consideration," he said.
Berry said that during negotiations, both companies had agreed to donate $25,000 for student activities. The council would receive $15,000.
Berry also announced for the first time plans to allow students to use their identification cards in vending machines and laundry machines.
The council was also visited by new Harvard Police Chief Francis D. "Bud" Riley, who addressed student concerns about safety.
The council also passed a series of uncontroversial and uncontested resolutions.
The council asked the University to keep Cabot Library open 24 hours, to allow upperclass students to eat at Annenberg during certain hours, to keep the Loker Tex-Mex and ice cream stations open longer and to include peer counseling groups in the mandatory orientation week presentation on student conduct.
The council also voted to add an additional $2,000 to the original $5,000 allocated for a band for Springfest, which will be held next month.
Because many bands originally announced were unavailable, the council has a list of new possibilities: Pharcyde, Samples, Ani Di Franco, Freddy Jones and Suzanne Vega
