Is a scrap of papyrus suggesting that Jesus had a wife authentic?
Scholars on Wednesday questioned the much-publicized discovery by a Harvard scholar that a 4th century fragment of papyrus provided the first evidence that some early Christians believed Jesus was married.
And experts in the illicit antiquities trade also wondered about the motive of the fragment’s anonymous owner, noting that the document’s value has likely increased amid the publicity of the still-unproven find.
In all, the survey had 25 responses by the time of publication. All of these identified as students, staff or alumni. Forty percent were dog lovers, 25 percent cat lovers.

juniors and seniors for you young whippersnappers — deserve to “live the good life” while ending their careers here at the good ol’ Baylor U.
In order to truly embrace the ignorant saying, “YOLO,” upperclassmen must be able to do as they please without the burdens of Baylor and its financial requirements.

Several people expressed their opinions about the transfer of the animal shelter from the Humane Society to the city of Waco at the Waco City Council meeting Tuesday.
A three-minute time slot, referred to as the Hearing of Visitors, is designated for any citizen to address the city council on any subject relating to city business.
From the battlefield to Baylor, some students are transitioning from military life to a life of academia.
To help with the transition to college life, the Veteran Educational and Transition Services (VETS) Center is available this year to help student veterans reach their academic goals.
His campaign at a crossroads, Mitt Romney said Tuesday the federal government should not “take from some to give to the others” as he sought to deflect a wave of criticism over recent remarks dismissive of nearly half of all Americans.
President Barack Obama is chiding Republican Mitt Romney for referring to supporters of the president as victims who depend on the government. Obama says anyone who wants to be president has to “work for everyone, not just for some.”
While the man behind an anti-Islam movie that ignited violence across the middle east would likely face swift punishment in his native egypt for making the film, in America, the government is in the thorny position of protecting his free speech rights and looking out for his safety even while condemning his message.
It’s a paradox that makes little sense to those protesting and calling for blood. To them, the movie dialogue denigrating the prophet Muhammad is all the evidence needed to pursue justice — vigilante or otherwise — against Nakoula Bassely Nakoula, an American citizen originally from Egypt.
The Baylor Bears were swept 3-0 (19-25, 22-25, 22-25) in their match against the North Texas Mean Green in Denton on Tuesday night.
With the loss, Baylor volleyball’s record falls to 13-2, and the Bears’ nine-game win-streak was snapped.
“North Texas played great, and our blocking and defense was bad,” head coach Jim Barnes said. “We had a bad night, and you can’t hit that many errors and expect to win.”
New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin had his panties in a bunch after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers actually decided to play football on the final play of the game.
With New York up by only seven points, the Giants were convinced that the Buccaneers would just lay down for them and let the Giants run out the clock and the Buccaneers would quietly accept defeat.
Greg Schiano, what have you done? The game was over. All the Giants were doing was making their win official, but you decided to be a sore loser.
Football is a game of possession. The Giants had the ball with a 7-point lead and five seconds to go. That means the Giants have earned the victory, barring a serious error in judgment.
They are, perhaps, the most dangerous words ever written:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
As college students, we at the Lariat understand the difficulties inherent in balancing a budget. To allocate funds in one area sometimes means to leave another without.
However, some dues must be paid. It would be ridiculous to buy a new video game or a pair of high heels with money that should be used to pay an electricity bill. In this instance, it makes sense to skip the luxury items and pay your dues.
