Good morning, Denton.

Gas prices nearing $4 a gallon have squeezed commuters as drivers report spending up to $85 for a fill-up — a cost that used to be around $60; AAA forecasts the price will reach $4 by next week, pushing local budgets and errands under strain.

Records show the College of Visual Arts and Design spent over $20,000 on costs to set up Brooklyn Street Artist Victor Quiñonez’s canceled exhibit 'Ni de Aquí, Ni de Allá' (including artist stipend and transportation fees) while administrators met in February to plan removal of sensitive pieces amid policy concerns.

On March 19, the university announced it would consolidate 85 programs and certificates to address a $45 million deficit; new enrollments will stop while current students finish their degrees.

A student expressed concern over the merger of the Department of Linguistics with World Languages.

Denton County officials clarified golf cart rules amid rising use in master-planned areas (Northlake, Robson Ranch, and Sandbrock Ranch) to ensure safe travel.

The new guidelines help drivers understand local requirements as community developments grow.
