Recently there has been a lot of buzz about coffee on TCU's campus. As co-coordinator of Frogs for Fair Trade I am ecstatic about the commotion. It was reported March 8 that we, Frogs for Fair Trade, would soon be part of a national campaign aimed at converting all Jazzman's Caf‚ locations to provide 100 percent fair trade coffee, cocoa and tea. This is true; however, some facts regarding the campaign must be cleared up.

I enjoyed Kathleen Thurber's column "Make Lenten resolves count" very much because she touches upon some very important truths about the Lenten season. An important recognition is that we, as Americans, live in great abundance and surplus. That includes American Catholics, so when Lent rolls around, many times the Lenten sacrifices we end up making is only from our surplus, so, as Thurber pointed out, it's really not a sacrifice. What this demonstrates on the part of most American Catholics is a lack of understanding on what constitutes "sacrifice" in the Lenten understanding of the word.
