University administrators reported Wednesday they had received more applications from prospective students than by this point last year, reflecting a growing number of high school students expressing interest in a Baylor education.

First-through 12th-grade Texas students with disabilities have been given the chance to display their artwork at the Baylor School of Social Work. The school partnered with Artsonia.com, a website that archives student art pieces from around the world to create an exhibit showing how students with disabilities view the world.

The neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed Trayvon Martin had been out of touch and, his ex-lawyer says, “a little bit over the edge” before his arrest on a second-degree murder charge.

Cinematographer Stephen Poster set up a simple studio rig of three stage lights and a small collection of crude three-dimensional objects on a black felt top to display how easily one could produce shadows and harsh lines.

I’ve never been a big fan of guns — at least, not in real life. In movies, they’re exciting, dangerous and (dare I say it) sexy. In terms of media and the ideals guns symbolize (i.e. freedom, protection, power), it’s easy for someone to be a gun enthusiast in theory. America’s love for guns in the media has only strengthened the impression that Americans are aggressive, violent and power-hunger in every aspect of life. As individuals we know this isn’t true.

The Faculty Senate voted to recommend allowing professors to award “minus” grades — like A-minus, B-minus, etc. — in addition to the traditional plus grading system, leaving the provost’s office with the final say over whether to change university grading policy.
