Professor aims to inform minorities
on merits of free trade agreements
□ A&M agricultural economics
professor Dr. Boadu works to
discover why minority constituents
tend to vote against international
treaties, such as GATT and NAFTA.
By Lisa Johnson
The Battalion
Dr. Fred Boadu, an A&M agricultural econom
ics professor, presented his theories on the impli
cations of free trade on minority constituencies at
Wednesday’s brown bag seminar.
“What I want to establish with my research is
the fact that free trade does not hurt,” Boadu said.
“If you look at the business sector, it’s an idea that
is easy to demonstrate.”
In his presentation, Boadu pointed out that al
though the General Agreement on Trade and the
North American Free Trade Agreement are the
most widely publicized international trade agree
ments the United States is a part of, the United
States has long-standing agreements with Israel
and with islands in the Caribbean.
Boadu said what disturbs him about his study
is the fact that the minority representatives who
vote on such trade agreements tend to vote
against them, even though such agreements
would not have a negative effect on the people
whom they represent.
One reason for the negative votes, he said,
could be that the representatives feel as though
the benefits of international free trade are uneven
ly distributed between the members of the minori
ty and the rest of society.
“According to a study by A. Armah at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, due to them
ture of their jobs, white males are less likely;!
have their jobs affected negatively by freetraj
and are twice as likely to benefit from freetraj
than black males,” he said.
That study indicated that because ofthetj|j
of jobs held by the majority of African-Ameritj
men, they are more vulnerable to loss intheevol
tion of trade.
However, Boadu said all members of sot®
would either lose or gain together, just somei
than others. The area of employment mostly
to be affected by free trade is the service indms
— hotel, restaurant and auto repair employees.
“Those most affected, with trade by Mexico,!
example,” he said, “are going to be the low-ski
workers. If the price equalization theory loll
true, wages in the two countries will reach
equilibrium, lowering the wages of the less-ski
here in the U.S.”
Boadu also presented other theories for the an
thetic attitudes of minority representatives,Ife
minority businesses do not take part in freetraj
at all, he said, perhaps because they were 11
aware of their opportunities in the open market,
Minorities seem to form an alliance withlak
supporters and environmentalists when voting
trade issues, Boadu said. This practice of si]
with other groups can be attributed tothefii
that minority business owners are not educate!::
international trade policies, he said.
“Minority constituents have never beenprcpf:
ly informed about the concepts of internatiori
trade,” he said. “They started out voting against:
and now they feel trapped into that position,”
To support his present findings and hypothesfi.
Boadu is currently conducting a study on a SB'
pling of minority-owned businesses involved;::
free trade from a directory of more than 14,00(1
College Station ranks among top cities
□ City officials said the
presence of Texas A&M
helped the city earn sixth
place in a state poll.
By Lori Young
The Battalion
Texas Business Magazine
named College Station the sixth
best-run Texas city in the 50,000
to 250,000 population category.
With a population of only
55,605, College Station is the
smallest medium-sized city and
the second-highest ranked col
lege town in the top ten.
Bob Yancy, public informa
tion officer for the city of Col
lege Station, said the high
ranking is an honor.
“The state of Texas has a repu
tation for strong municipal man
agement,” Yancy said, “and to be
recognized as one of the best in
Texas is especially satisfying.”
Yancy said College Station at
tributes a lot of its success to
A&M. “We’re grateful to the stu
dents and to A&M,” he said.
In its October issue, Texas
Business Magazine noted that
College Station has the benefit
of a university presence.
“Not only does College Station
offer good services on its own, it
has Texas A&M University to
fill in the gaps with cultural
events, museums and athletics,”
the article stated.
George “Skip” Noe, College
Station city manager, said
A&M’s presence makes a differ
ence with how the community
is viewed.
“The University provides
some amenities that you will not
find in non-college communi
ties,” Noe said.
“A&M faculty and students
provide an audience for conceit!,
speakers and various cultnd
events,” he said.
Dr. Charles Lee, A&M intern
executive vice presidentatl
provost, said College Station!
ranking benefits A&M inrettn.
“We are always delighteiti
see Bryan or College Stations-
ceive special recognition,'h
said. “It’s helpful in remit]
faculty and students.”
