The first thought that comes to many people’s mind when thinking of Halloween is candy. We have all done it. Eat piles and piles of candy and later regretted it.

When we go to football games, we root for our team. We cheer to the extent of encouraging our team to “kill” the other, all in good fun of course. Baylor is certainly no stranger to whooping another team by way of points, especially this season. We, however, have never been accused of bullying.
I’m not a parent. I don’t claim to know the pressures of being a parent. I was, however, raised by two stunning parents. I was and still am very fortunate to have their guidance in my life.
There’s a problem nowadays with society. I walk down the street and see a screaming child. He or she is upset and wants to go to the toy store now or wants food now. Occasionally, I’ll see the child smack his or her parent when things don’t go the child’s way.
Husband hunters, rings by spring and “M-R-S” degrees are common phrases around the Baylor Bubble. These are not entirely unwarranted. Certain females here, as well as women at other colleges, may indeed be more focused on the pursuit of a husband than the pursuit of academic success.

At the same time, the federal official closest to the website apologized for its dysfunction in new sign-ups and asserted things are getting better by the day. Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner said it’s not the administration but insurers who are responsible for cancellation letters now reaching many of the estimated 14 million people who buy individual policies. And,…

U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel struck down one provision of Texas House Bill 2 Monday and limited another provision of it, blocking abortion laws that would have gone into effect today.

Planned Parenthood and a collective body of other abortion administering clinics challenged this act on Sept. 26, claiming provisions of the bill are unconstitutional.

I truly pity the knots that Baylor coaches have to tie themselves in to recruit elite athletes who are gay or lesbian. As a career sports writer (now retired) I know the school has had several gay or lesbians athletes and the coaches have to worry constantly that someone will out them or that they will out themselves and their scholarships will be immediately in jeopardy because of these contrived morals standards held by both the university and the student government. I’ll leave aside the fact that I know (and so do the women athletes) that female athletes, especially, are slurred by fans as “lesbian” with great regularity and without regard to their actual sexual orientation.
Shelby Leonard’s recent coverage of student senator Trenton Garza’s proposed amendment to the Sexual Misconduct Code exposed a long-ignored issue at Baylor: how the university’s official policies address sexuality. As a former two-term student senator, it is clear to me that Baylor has some well-written codes that affirm its many countercultural views, but no policy so blatantly fails to address reality as does the Sexual Misconduct Code.
