Baylor soccer hopes to extend its seven game win streak on the road tonight against Kansas. After beating Iowa State last Friday night with a first half goal, the Bears (7-4-1) look to keep the momentum going against the Jayhawks (6-5-1). “Kansas always has great support,” said head coach Paul Jobson. “They always have a great team, and just being on the road in another team’s home environment is always going to be the toughest challenge. “They have some attacking players that we are going to have to account for,” Jobson said. “We are defensive mind type of team, and…

Imagine this: After a long day of classes you decide to unwind by taking a long, relaxing shower in your dorm room or apartment. You enjoy your time to relax and when you are finished you just dry off and cover up with a towel to walk right into your room to change. But right as you walk out of the bathroom, you see a maintenance crew working on something in your room — something you didn’t even call to have fixed. Sadly, this wasn’t just a hypothetical situation, it has actually happened. Currently, Baylor contracts with Aramark, a third…
By Matthew DotsonIf you were to talk to a certain user on Devaintart.com called WhenPigsMayFly, or the same person Grey154 on fanfiction.net, you wouldn’t notice anything too obscure about him. He seems fairly well spoken though on first impression he seems like he can’t spell worth anything, and the weirdest part about him is that he doesn’t follow some of Hollywood’s fads. Take away the computer screen and the anonymity. Grey is a young man. He’s dark haired with blue eyes, he appears to be in his late teens to early 20s. You’ll never see him run a five-mile or…

By Ashley Webb A second annual health and fitness challenge between Baylor University and Oklahoma State University has been delayed due to technological issues, university officials said. Last year, the two schools launched the Live Active Challenge to promote living an active and healthy lifestyle on both campuses in a fun, competitive way. “Even if it’s just three weeks, two weeks. For a lot of people, the hardest thing is to get started, and they can use this as a means to jumpstart their workout or jumpstart their goal of being active,” said Van Davis, Baylor’s assistant director for fitness…

“Baylor is at the top of the food chain when it comes to Texas universities. We are a top-notch institution academically.” [Tyler Cagle’s column “Waco not so Wacko: City offers more than people realize” published Sept. 30] Really? What planet do you live on? There are at least a half-dozen Texas universities that are academically superior to Baylor University (not to be confused with Baylor Medical College, which has no connection to Baylor University). Baylor is not one of the three Texas universities who are members of AAU (look it up if you don’t know what AAU means). Baylor is…
Imagine a movie premiere, a baseball game, your favorite concert and your sister’s birthday. These are events you’ll want to remember, to cherish and to revel in the moment of simply being there. However, all too reflexively, we’ve made the decision to have our phone be the recorder to those memories while we soak it in from behind a 2-by-5-inch screen. While it’s a terrific convenience to have a device to keep track of things — in such a large capacity for its small size — we’ve taken advantage of it far too often. It’s time to rewrite the rules.…
By Cody Soto, Guest ColumnistFor anyone who knows me, they know I’m never quiet. My laugh projects across the room, my volume is sometimes too loud and my personality can sometimes be a lot bigger than it needs to be. In almost 21 years, the art of silence has always been my weakness. In my mind, silence used to have a negative connotation. If I was told to be silent, I immediately got upset. Since then, I’ve come to realize just how powerful silence can be. Not only is the lack of sound peaceful to the ears, but it also…
On the drive back to Waco with a paper due the next day, a sunburn beginning to appear, a dead cell phone and a pair of legs more sore than after a five mile run, I find myself wondering why I didn’t go to ACL sooner.

Being a self-proclaimed connoisseur of all things “hot dog,” driving by Wise Guys: A Chicago Eatery every time I jet down Valley Mills had become quite painful. Passing Vegas Buffet, Michaels and eventually Wise Guys meant one more time, I wasn’t taking the chance to pull into the often-sparse lot to venture inside the Chicago-themed restaurant.
