This week the Lariat asked you about how you feel about public breast-feeding, and the experience of nursing mothers on campus.

We had record numbers respond to this survey, and a variety of responses from our readers.

The Baylor football team’s recent loss to West Virginia has brought a very important issue to light.

Baylor is going to lose games.

We have in the past — even under RGIII — and we will in the future.

Fortunately we have not had to face a loss at home in over a year and there is no reason to expect that we will lose at home this year, but a home loss will come.

Austin’s famous Zilker Park will soon be filled with thousands as the largest music festival in Texas, the 11th annual Austin City Limits, prepares to kick off this weekend.

The sold-out festival will be held Friday through Sunday, with music from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. each day.

Headliners are The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Young and the Crazy Horse, The Black Keys, Jack White, Florence and the Machine and the Avett Brothers, among others.

We’re all excited to see Florence + the Machine and The Black Keys, and nobody is going to skip fan favorites Weezer or the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but what about the hidden gems of this year’s action-packed Austin City Limits?

In what sounded at times like a locker room pep talk, Jerry Sandusky rambled in his red prison suit about being the underdog in the fourth quarter, about forgiveness, about dogs and about the movie “Seabiscuit.”

With his accusers seated behind him in the courtroom, he denied committing “disgusting acts” against children and instead painted himself as the victim.

Suspended TCU quarterback Casey Pachall is leaving school for the rest of the semester and entering an inpatient rehabilitation facility.

Coach Gary Patterson made the announcement Tuesday, five days after the junior starter was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in his second brush with the law in the past eight months.

Patterson said most of the inpatient programs like the one Pachall will enter are 30 to 60 days.

When Baylor alumni talk about their experiences in the Honors College, one word continues to come up: Impact.

The Honors College, a collection of two majors, great texts and University Scholars, and two programs, Baylor Interdisciplinary Core and the Honors Program, is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Almost 350 students live in the Honors Residential College.

Losing in the Elite Eight in two of the past three seasons has left this Baylor men’s basketball team hungry.

The players believe that the program is at a level now where making the NCAA tournament is a given, and tournament runs are expected.

They were on their way to the Texas A&M game against Ole Miss.

Most of us have it — in the form of student aid, though we have yet to feel the effects. In fact, outstanding student loans in the U.S. equal a total of more than $1 trillion. Baylor is an expensive school – many of us are undoubtedly contributing to that sum.
