In 2013, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta made the move to lift the military’s ban on women serving in many combat and front-line positions, leading to hundreds of thousands of new potential positions opening up for women. Currently, the Pentagon has a goal of completing this monumental move, making every job and unit available to women by January 2016. However, even though this decision was made by the Pentagon some time ago, service branches were given until Thursday to request exemptions for specific combat roles. While the Army, Navy and Air Force are expected to not ask for exemptions to fully…

After spending the ENTIRE weekend studying for that test, exhausting your brain power for one specific course, and the professor assigns a quiz for the very next class meeting, why wouldn’t you be upset? Many students work hard throughout college to fight for a good GPA when they graduate. The only problem is some professors might not have those students’ best interests in mind. When professors give a quiz the day after a test, students’ grades and motivation plummet. Testing is an essential part of a college education in order to make sure students retain the information they are studying.…
By Jillian Anderson, ReporterLost, again. It’s been a month of school, so it should be a breeze to find the way to Mary Gibbs-Jones through the construction decimated campus, but there’s the front of Penland.

“Love’s Labour’s Lost” is different from the traditional musical, combining Shakespearean language with modern music.
Church today is becoming overrated. I’m sure everyone has had, or knows of, that one Christian friend that was never free on the weekends. Or maybe you were that friend. I know I was. A devoted churchgoer’s weekend may generally look like this: Friday: worship service, fellowship Saturday: prayer meeting, fellowship Sunday: worship service, fellowship Despite the fact that each day of this schedule seems to be analogous to the other, missing one day makes a great difference. So what’s the big deal? A churchgoer’s community will be the church. Some members of the congregation become your friends, and attending…
In light of the Pope’s recent visit to the U.S., Baylor president and chancellor Ken Starr wrote a guest column for USA Today concerning international religious freedom. “We are witnessing a tragic, global crisis in religious freedom — one characterized outside the West by persecution, violence and terrorism, and inside the West by a receding understanding of why religious liberty is necessary for human and social flourishing,” he wrote. Starr directed his words both at the Pope and the American people. Starr is correct on the issue of religious freedom, not only as a founding principle for this country, but…

By Katie Grovatt, ReporterThe rules of politics are being rewritten, and Republican front-runner Donald Trump is behind it. He’s released bold, undiplomatic statements and stirred up controversy, all while dominating the Republican primary race.The businessman and former “Celebrity Apprentice” host has led every Republican poll for the past two months. But as the candidate continues to sell out rallies, triumph in polls and gain supporters, some Baylor students are shaking their heads.“He’s high up [in the polls] because no one knows what his actually policies are,” said Dallas sophomore Michelle Rigg. “He’s focusing on sensational issues and making provocative claims…
By Haley Morrison, reporter Black Gospel music was created to sustain both the singers and listeners, to give life and hope when times were hard. While the listeners survived with the help of music, very few of the songs did. Associated journalism professor Robert Darden and the Baylor Libraries are trying to fix that. Years ago, Darden began trying to recover Black Gospel music with the help of the Baylor Libraries. Together, they search for Black Gospel music and restore the findings, which are then added to the Baylor digital collections. “I’ll do an interview and people will hear about…

Early in September, several Toronto public colleges including University of Toronto, Ryerson University and York University found outrage over a flood of fliers posted promoting the new organization of a “White Students Union.” The posters boasted two young white men standing with Toronto’s CN Tower urging onlookers to visit their website, “Students for Western Civilization.” The club is designed, according to its website, to oppose “cultural Marxism.” “Students are taught that all of Western Civilization is inherently ‘racist’ and that Western countries are plagued by a ‘systemic and institutionalized’ racism which reinforces a ‘system of white supremacy,’” states an editorial…
We’ve all been there: Looking up the roster before the first day of class and scouring the list for a familiar name. Even an acquaintance would do for the sake of bringing up how you know each other by x-amount degrees of separation. But there comes a day when you scroll past the “Z’s,” and you might as well have seen John Doe appear futher down the list. Your first-day-of-class excitement is shifting to battlefield-level strategies of arrival times and seat placement. Here’s the thing: Class Friends are the best friends. The singular best thing about having a class with…
