Price hike to shorten bread queues
ADANA – Doğan News Agency
A municipality announced Friday that an increase in bread prices was implemented to shorten long queues and prevent people from being trampled on.
The price of the cheap bread provided by the municipality in Adana, in the south on the Mediterranean coast, was increased from YTL 0.15 to 0.20. The municipality is governed by the Justice and Development Party (AKP). The municipality noted that bakeries had increased the price of 150 grams of bread to YTL 0.40 while the municipality's bread weighed 200 grams. It further noted that since the price hike by bakeries, there were crowds of people lining up to buy the municipality bread.
The municipality explained that it had decided to increase the price of its bread to reduce the crowds.
Mayor Aytaç Burak also pointed the finger to bakeries for the price rise, adding, �Our bread production is limited. Our three bread factories produce 550,000 loaves of bread. The fourth factory is being built. We had to increase the price to prevent people being trampled over within the crowds.� |  |
Women's Studies is to disappear from British universities as an undergraduate course this summer. It's part of a gradual decline in the academic subject which became popular following the 1960s feminist movement. This report from BBC Social Affairs reporter Adrian Brown:
Its demise follows that of other Women's Studies departments across Britain that have lost both funding and students or been merged into other disciplines.
Critics say the subject was a product of its time and that the feminist arguments of the 1970s no longer apply. It became the butt of many a joke in the mainstream media and in today's competitive job market students steer clear, preferring degrees that will secure employment.
But all is not lost for the subject. Postgraduate studies will continue in this country and Women's Studies is thriving in many countries such as India and Iran.
