Rodeo
Continued from page 1
Marjorie Murphy, Texas state
director of Miss Rodeo Texas Inc.
said Harvey is a good role model.
“She’s a goal-setter,” Murphy
said. “She goes the extra mile to
excel in whatever she tries to do.”
In addition to preparing for
the national pageant, Harvey will
spend her time as Miss Rodeo
Texas attending rodeos, livestock
shows and fashion shows, said
Linda Ebest, Texas Assistant
State Director of Miss Rodeo
Texas Inc.
Ebest said that, as Miss Rodeo
Texas, Harvey will receive a $6,0(X)
scholarship from the San Antonio
Livestock Show. This year, the
pageant added another $2,000 to
the scholarship, Ebest said.
Miss Rodeo Texas Inc. holds
two other pageants: Miss Rodeo
Texas Teen, for girls ages 14 to
18 and Miss Rodeo Texas Prin
cess, for ages 9 to 13.
Harvey was previously named
Miss Rodeo Texas Teen, although
that is not a requirement to be
crowned queen, Ebest said.
Ebest said some girls dream of
being crowned princess, then teen,
then queen as they grow older.
“We have little girls now that
are vying for the princess, who
want to be a triple-crown winner,”
she said.
Harvey and the five women
she competed against for Miss
Rodeo Texas spent a week being
critiqued by six judges on horse
manship and speeches. The judges
also gave the contestants individ
ual interviews, a group interview,
rodeo questions and current event
questions, Ebest said.
Ebest said 25 to 30 women will
compete for Miss Rodeo America
this fall.

Coffee
Continued from page 1
“I received an e-mail from
John recently, and he thinks that
Duncan Coffee has agreed to be
gin serving Fair Trade coffee at
A&M now,” Arekere said.
According to the Global Ex
change, an international human
rights organization, the fair pay
ments to farmers are invested
in health care, education, envi
ronmental stewardship and eco
nomic independence.
A&M expressed its support
for Fair Trade coffee March 7
in a University resolution that
stated support for Duncan Cof
fee Company to purchase and
sell certified, organic Fair Trade
and shade-grown coffee from a
Fair Trade cooperative.
Duncan Coffee is now provid
ing Fair Trade organic coffee from
various countries its online store.
There are also environmental
impacts of the Fair Trade cof
fee movement.
According to a press release
by TransFair USA, the only in
dependent, third-party certifier
of Fair Trade practices in the
United States, Fair Trade farm
ers protect the land and wildlife
habitat by intercropping plant
species and maintaining strict
waste management control.
Assistant manager of Col
lege Station's Texas Avenue
Starbucks Kristen Kowalski
said, “We usually havete
Fair Trade coffee for si
brew one of them on the!
every month.”
Kowalski said that ®
ers have asked about whs
Trade coffee is, and
pacts coffee drinkers.
“It’s a great way toenca
