Just weeks into his first semester at Baylor, Riverside, California, freshman Aidan Christopher crossed a finish line almost 5,000 miles away from campus — and threw a Sic ’em to the crowd.
Normally you think of someone who spends all their time in a basement as an outcast or an antisocial person. This isn’t the case in Moody Memorial Library, as its basement provides much more than meets the eye.
One of Baylor President Linda Livingstone’s first efforts to address the university’s past exclusions came in 2017, when she invited generations of women back to campus to participate in a tradition they had once been denied: running the Baylor Line.
Living off campus doesn’t mean living without community. Baylor’s commuter students are finding ways to make staying on campus longer worth the hassle of a late-night drive home.
Every year, millions of people want to go into haunted houses. Haunted houses give people who walk through them an adrenaline rush.

Baylor has fallen out of the top 25 for the first time since 2017, even though Johnson’s production on the court has been ticking up
Picked by many to finish near the bottom of the Big 12, Baylor enters its bye week at 4-1 with a four-game winning streak. With a revamped defense, a surging DJ Lagway and a challenging schedule ahead, the Bears are turning preseason doubt into hope.
Senior safety Tyler Turner’s story didn’t begin in Waco. It began 175 miles south of I-35 in San Antonio, Texas where he grew up and made a name for himself as a middle schooler.
A top-10 soccer team to footballs physically dominant defense, Baylor Athletics have delivered plenty of treats this fall, but a few tricks remain as conference play enters full swing.

ARTS & LIFE
The Waco Buzz is bringing its first “Paper Airplane Championship” 4-6 p.m. Oct. 18 to McLane Stadium, turning part of the stadium into an arena where families, Baylor students and the broader Waco community can compete to see whose homemade plane can land closest to a target on the field.
Costs don’t just include cash profits and revenues. Prompting ChatGPT to create a flyer for an upcoming product launch might be cheap, but you can’t finance the loss of brand perception from your customers.
I may love being busy and complaining about being tired, but I knew deep down that there was scientific evidence to suggest that the sophomore slump exists. It had to, because I was feeling it firsthand. Whatever it was, I knew every problem required a solution, so out of the care I have for my peers and the teeny ounce of spite I must prove my dear friend wrong, here are a few ways you can join me in conquering the sophomore slump.
With the first round of tests, essays and projects coming and going, it can be daunting to look ahead at the many assignments to come. As a result of the ever-turning wheel of college work, many students experience burnout, or a state of emotional, physical and mental exhaustion. In times like these, it’s as important as ever to remember your ‘why.’
There were over 50 men. That’s how many people witnessed the explicit messages in the 2024 Chi Phi Snapchat group chat at Cornell University. It’s easy to think the extremes of the Cornell case are an isolated incident; however, the sobering reality is that this has become a pandemic.
Foreign language requirements should be dropped at Baylor. They cause an undue burden on students and their time can be better spent on courses more specialized to their major and career goals.
Social media has also turned something natural, like wanting to feel accepted or a member of a community, into something quantitative. Followers, likes, comments and views can make belonging feel like a numbers game. Instead of just thinking about if we fit in with the people around us, we can compare how many people appear to care about us online.
