The main problem of this article is that police is investigating the death of a UF student that occurred outside the Trusler Hall on Wednesday morning. The police found Wesley Michael Spano, 19,dead inside a vehicle. He was a computer science freshman who start his undergrad fall semester 2015.His cumulative unweight grade point average in the high school was about 3.9.There is no official report about the detailed about the incident. In my opinion, these types of incidents are very sad and traumatic for the family members. It is unfair that someone that has all the opportunities to succeed in life it all ends up in one night .UF has to find out the main problem of the incident because and try to avoid something like that to happen again.

Authorities are searching for a man who police say expose himself to a women in the Norman Parking Garage, two blocks from the campus. This is something disrespectful and the police has to find this guy. The main problem here is that there are some people that that think it is funny, so If they find him he has to be punished.

There is another plunge in the price of crude oil sent stocks lower this past Wednesday, bringing the market to its lowest level nearly in two years. Energy companies were hit as the price of rude oil sank almost 7 percent. This is threatening more damage to an industry that has already been stricken with bankruptcies. There should be more control of the oil prices .For example, the government should intervene and try to control the prices so that the energy companies would not go to bankruptcy.

Meldwige Gregoire, 25, adopted a 4 mount Pit bull mix from Alachua Country Animal services according to the police report. Gregoire stomped in the puppy’s back and leg. Then kicked the puppy in the back multiple times before dragging it down a hallway. Gragoire told he was punishing the puppy. Then, he returned the puppy to the shelter wrapped in towels and said the puppy dies in the crate. After the autopsy the investigators discovered the dog was killed. The solution to this is that Gragoire was to go to jail for animal cruelty and probation.

There were two accidents one outside Library West and the other on Stadium Road this last Monday. The first accident is that a UF student drove her scooter down in University Avenue and crashed into a turning car. The, two hours later a UF student rode his bicycle down in Stadium Road and another student crossing the road. A solution for this is that scooters and bicycle shouldn’t transit where cars transit. For scooters, it is very dangerous because cars are faster and bigger.
