By Rebecca Wickel

Only seven miles from Elon University is Ace Speedway. Drive five miles further and reach the Piedmont Dragway. Venture 90 miles south, and you’ll find the famed Charlotte Motor Speedway. There’s no doubt, this is car country. Elon senior Michael Palombo and junior Taylor Davis fit right in, having founded the Elon Car Club last spring. “We met last year in a class, we had a philosophy class together and we discovered that we both love cars,” said Palombo, the club’s president.

The scheduled strike, which lasted longer than expected, began after the subway union demanded that the Buenos Aires government increase the workers’ salaries by more than 20 percent. It ended with a provisional agreement with Metrovias, the company that operates the subte, which included “improvements in working conditions, changes in leave entitlements and a re-categorization of wage levels,” according to the union’s press release.
