This is because it is about how people feel now about carrying guns on campus after the killing of Haruka at UT. The article dis about the conflict between the pro-gun group and the people who thinks guns should not be on campus.                        “SLAYING PROVES POINT, GUN GROUP ARGUES”                                                             Austin American Statesman article                                                                                             "Diving into a politically sensitive topic, a group supporting gun rights said Monday that the recent death of a University of Texas freshman showed the folly of limiting the reach of the guns-on-campus law that will go into effect in August.”

This is proximity, because it is only talking about Austin, and where we live, although it is in other places.                                                                                                       “ CDC SAYS ZIKA ’SCARIER’ THAN FIRST REALIZED”                                                               Austin American Statesman Article                                                                                                  "WASHINGTON—Publichealth officials said Monday they’ve learned a lot more about Zika since the White House asked Congress for $1.9 billion to combat the mosquito-borne virus and are increasingly concerned about its potential impact on the United States.”

And this could have a direct impact on the people and children of austin, because that means that there will be more diseases floating around.                                                                                                                 “REVERSE DECLINE IN VACCINATION RATES”                                                                   Austin American Statesman article                                                                                                "The profound benefits of childhood immunizations are well-established.
