CE #3.3

1. Why did Bowie student Jack Guy design Grade Buzz? Page A1 "Student launches..." Did you know this was in our school newspaper 2 weeks ago!!!!

The site wasn't very user-friendly

2. After the huge snowstorms hit Buffalo, NY last week, what is the next major concern for the region? Page A5 "Winter Weather"

Snow melting and causing another major flood.

3. What point is cartoonist, Chan Lowe, trying to make in the political cartoon on page A11?

These different days involving sales and industries are costing so much money that buyer's are just spending away whatever they have for these expensive items.

4. Why is Alexis Alpha suing the San Marcos police department? Page B1 "Woman sues police..."

Alpha says she suffered through broken teeth and a concussion from a San Marcos police officer who had arrested her.

5. Why are theme parks struggling to attract new visitors? Page B7 "Changing theme of parks"

Entertainment like TV, video games, and other electronics are gaining the attention of americans rather than going out to amusement parks.

Short Answer: What impact does Capitol Metro's decision to raise fares by $.50 in January potentially have on the people of Austin?

Think logically here and think outside the box. Who does this impact the most and what will happen to their lives?

Short story with information on Page B2 under Community News - "Bus fares change..."

This change has several different impacts for several different types of people. For one, the metro capital will gain more profits and so will the people working for them (possibly). This could help them improve upon their industry and raise the amount of money given to their workers. But, aside from that, people who ride the metro access will have to pay more money into riding the vehicles. This could change how many people choose to still ride the bus after the raise of prices. Also, there are quite a few people who can not afford to pay and/or drive their own vehicle all the time. Raising prices can become difficult for them to pay for the routes. I believe this change will impact the riders of the Metro Buses the most.
