Female Halloween costumes should be scary not sexy

Female Halloween costumes should be scary not sexy

Published Oct 20, 2009

Pirates, Ghostbusters, vampires and Freddy Krueger are the names of common Halloween costumes you might see on the men's aisle. For women, the pirate becomes "sexy pirate," the witch transforms into "glamorous witch" (glamorous meaning "with less clothing") and even Freddy Krueger morphs into the sexy "Ms. Krueger" (complete with strategically placed claw slashes). For those of us not interested in the "sexy" look, finding a Halloween costume is really just an exercise in attempting to find an outfit that doesn't make us look like playmates.

Fair Trade coffee not as fair as you think

Published Oct 20, 2009

You know times are strange when people are excited about paying more for something.

Last Wednesday, Union Grounds began brewing Fair Trade coffee, a brand of coffee which cuts out the middle man and pays coffee growers more than the market price for the coffee they grow.



I have no problem with Fair Trade at all. If people want to pay more for coffee to benefit poorer people then they should do that.

Free speech codes need second look, not complete overhaul

Published Oct 20, 2009

The Alliance Defense Fund Center for Academic Freedom recently issued "red lights" to TCU, the University of North Texas and other local colleges telling them that their free speech codes are unconstitutional.

Published Oct 20, 2009

While concern about the H1N1 flu remains, vaccines for the disease are scarce but should be available on campus soon, a university official said.

Don Mills, vice chancellor for student affairs, said Texas has not received the vaccines the state requested.



"The state of Texas had originally asked for 8 million doses and right now they've been granted 142,000," Mills said. "Those are being allocated to people at risk and health care workers. We expect to get some vaccine towards the end of the month, but we don't know how much or exactly when."
