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.
Literary poet and playwright Robert Browning focused on religion and secularization during his lifetime.
These topics will be addressed at a symposium in the Armstrong Browning Library featuring three events to honor Browning’s 200th birthday.
Classes at Louisiana State University’s main campus resumed Tuesday as police searched for the person who called in a bomb threat a day earlier, causing the evacuation of thousands of students.
Police have been tight-lipped about the call, but U.S. Attorney Don Cazayoux said the male caller talked about “multiple bombs.”
Quite some time has passed since I’ve seen a movie as beautiful as “The Words.” I admit that the real reason I went to go see it is because of my undying love for Bradley Cooper. I would have been content with just scenes of him shirtless and brooding, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the plot had actual substance to it.
How much does Brian Dwyer love pizza?
Let us count the ways: He holds the Guinness World Record for largest collection of pizza memorabilia; he has a caricature of himself, eating pizza, tattooed on his back with the phrase “Totally saucesome!”; and he is the driving force behind Pizza Brain, which he describes as the nation’s first pizza museum.

Bomb threats are apparently becoming the newest, sickest national trend.
Only days after bomb threats caused evacuations of three college campuses including the University of Texas at Austin, Valparaiso University in Indiana and North Dakota State University, Lousiana State University received one as well.
Akhil Reed Amar captivated several hundred people packed in Waco Hall Monday evening with the discussion of our constitutional
privileges through his recent
book, “America’s Unwritten Constitution: The Precedents and Principles We Live By.”
“The world we live in changed dramatically,” Amar said. “Because
we the people, 225 years ago today, began having this conversation
about how ordinary people lived their lives.”
No matter what you say, it is pure fact that last season’s football team was solely dependent on Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III and his ability to make plays either with his feet or his arm.
Since Apple started taking iPhone 5 orders on its website at 2 a.m. on Friday, buyers who have a two-year service agreement with AT&T, Sprint or Verizon Wireless have been able to order the phone for $199 (16 gigabyte model), $299 (32 GB) or $399 (64 GB model).
Occupy Wall Street began to disintegrate in rapid fashion last winter, when the weekly meetings in New York City devolved into a spectacle of fistfights and vicious arguments.
In the first quarter of the Bears’ 48-23 win over Sam Houston State, Baylor kicker Aaron Jones made program history.
With 13:00 minutes to play in the first quarter, Jones hit a 33-yard field goal to give Baylor a 3-0 lead.
