Texas University Shuts Down Bake Sale By Associated Press September 24, 2003, 11:17 PM EDT DALLAS -- Southern Methodist University shut down a bake sale Wednesday in which cookies were offered for sale at different prices, depending on the buyer's race or gender. The sale was organized by the Young Conservatives of Texas, who said it was intended as a protest of affirmative action. A sign said white males had to pay $1 for a cookie. The price was 75 cents for white women, 50 cents for Hispanics and 25 cents for blacks. . . . The group sold three cookies during its protest, raising $1.50. What are the possible distributions of buyers? Will this increase interest in politics among math students and increase interest in math among politically minded students.
