Please allow me a moment to respond to the specific questions addressed to Pura Vida in the April 7 issue of The Eagle by Ibbie Hedrick, Et al. As a card-carrying capitalist and Harvard MBA, as well as the co-founder of one of the country's largest independent sellers of Certified Fair Trade coffee (structured as a public charity to direct resources to help at-risk children), I am delighted to sell our product on college campuses across the nation to a growing base of customers who are passionate about great coffee but who expect - no, demand - that their purchases do good at the same time.
Israeli-Palestinian relations may soon reach a turning point, according to former Ambassador Dennis Ross who spoke to about 30 students, their parents and professors Monday at an invitation-only meeting organized by C.O.R.E., an inter-campus student advocacy group. The conference was one of several events put on by student groups this week to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This year marks the 140th anniversary of the end of the Civil War, the single most significant event in all of American history. In effect, the war redefined us as a people, and in so doing it served to refine the purpose of our national mission, which, with much difficulty, has always been to try to translate into reality the idealist rhetoric of the introduction of the Declaration of Independence, which is often viewed as the "birth certificate" of the American Dream.
The Eagle has recently published two letters to the editor containing information about Starbucks that inaccurately describes our coffee purchasing practices. We are proud of the efforts Starbucks makes to purchase coffee in a socially responsible way, as well as our work with coffee farmers. For that reason, we are writing to correct the record.

Debate over the ownership of a proposed coffee shop in the Mary Graydon Center is rising to the surface faster than it takes a pot to percolate. An unidentified student dropped two banners promoting Pura Vida coffee from the roof of Mary Graydon at 11:10 on Monday morning while many students were switching classes. One banner ripped and collapsed under its own weight, but the remaining one read "Ideas into Action: Living Wages, Organic, Shade-Grown, Nonprofit. Pura Vida - The Guilt-Free Choice." The banner remained suspended for more than an hour.
Since October, the administration and our dining services provider, Bon Appetit, have been deliberating what will replace Auntie Ann's Pretzels in the Mary Graydon Center. The deadline for this decision is approaching quickly. Two companies, Pura Vida and Starbucks, are offering similar gourmet coffee shops. There is little difference in the product offered, but there is a large difference in the social responsibility records of the two companies.
We want it hot and ready to order whenever we are having a craving. Sex, that is. And yes, we want a shake with that, too. As a fast-food nation, have we become so enveloped in our own lives, in our super-sized careers and souped-up cars that we have let dating become something that only comes in a very select few Happy Meals.
In the 11 years since Benjamin Ladner became president of AU, the campus and the community have gone through a number of changes, resulting in increased costs, competition, accountability and international respect, Ladner said at his annual address to the community Thursday.
Most college diets have zero nutritional value, but two million points in the category of deliciousness. From Doritos to delivery, it's clear that cheesy powder, refined sugar and greasy take-out compose the tasty but unstable foundation of the collegiate food pyramid. And oh, how that pyramid crumbles.
You can feel it. Slowly but surely, it's building. There are Curly-Q "W" hats on the street, whispers of how many innings Livan Hernadez will be able to pitch this year, how Jose Vidro will play on the grass instead of that rug up in Montreal, what the mascot will look like and how RFK will hold up this season.
AU Men's Basketball got an extra day to reflect on one of its most lopsided victories in years.
