COMMUTERS High gas prices, more frustration Rising costs fuel angry commuter students

BY JORDAN GRANA CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

The perennial problem of rising gas prices is an issue that all UM students face. It hits incom- ing freshman commuter students especially hard. According to gasbuddy.com, the average price of regular gas at the pump in Miami is $3.68, with prices in the Coral Gables area often reaching $3.85 per gallon. In an effort to save money, many commuters carpool when they can. Some students take sav- ing money a step further. “To get more miles per gallon, I changed my spark plugs and got rid of excess weight in my car,” freshman commuter Joseph Ryan Socarras said. The rising prices cause problems for students’ lives as well as their wallets. “My best friend lives in Kendall and I live MARLENA SKROBE // Photo Editor much farther north, so it’s difficult for us to hang out often,” freshman commuter Hector Castane- da said. “I don’t want to waste gas.” According to nyse.tv, crude oil prices have Singing and spelling dropped to about $85.37 per barrel as of August MUSIC AND LYRICS: Senior Jeannine Scarpino, who is studying jazz voice and theatre, practices on 2011, much lower than the prices of about $100 the second fl oor of the University Center (UC) on Sunday for “Putnam County Spelling Bee.” Students per barrel that were seen earlier this year. who received a callback on Saturday returned for more auditions.
