Fair Trade coffee not as fair as you think

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.

The Fort Worth Police Department has not made any arrests in an Oct. 13 sexual assault case on campus or in a different sexual assault reported Oct. 1, a police spokesman said.

"The sexual assault unit is still conducting its ongoing investigation into each sexual assault," police spokesman Sgt. Chad Mahaffey said.

Due to the sensitive nature of sexual assault investigations, public information is very limited until the case reaches a conclusion."

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."

TCU's final test in conference, this side of BYU, comes to Fort Worth this weekend in a trail of green and gold.

Bill to increase Pell Grant funding will have little impact

Published Oct 16, 2009

A bill that would increase funding for higher education via the Federal Pell Grant and the Federal Perkins Loan programs, if passed, would not have a significant impact on the university, a financial aid official said.

Michael Scott, director of financial aid, said the bill, which awaits Senate committee action, would help some, but the overall impact at the university would be minimal because only 10 percent of the student body received Federal Pell grants last year.
