After staying away from any issues involving guns, Starbucks recently asked customers to keep guns out of their stores. Starbucks did not ban guns, they just politely asked customers to keep guns out of their more than 12,000 stores nationwide.
That doesn’t mean that customers in states where guns are legal can’t still walk in to Starbucks with a gun and get their frappuccinos, cappuccinos or lattes. Starbucks just doesn’t want firearms in its stores.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, recently concluded an impressive 21 hours and 19 minutes speaking through the night about the “Defund Obamacare” initiative that has taken flight in conservative circles. It’s a worthy cause — Obamacare is on track to become a bureaucratic nightmare for both doctors and patients.
However, one can’t help but question the strategy.
They lurk in airports, amusement parks, concert venues and shopping malls. They reside in the Tidwell Bible Building, the Ferrell Center, In-n-Out restaurants and Buc-ee’s convenient stores. They frighten children and frustrate mothers. They are uncontrollable and worst of all — a person has no choice but to use them.
I am talking about automatic toilets.
Three weeks of Latin dances, community service and opportunities for cash prizes remain as a part of the Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations on campus.
For the past three years, Baylor’s Hispanic Heritage Committee has coordinated 30 days of activities for students to embrace the culture and contributions of Hispanics.
In the corner office, on the highest floor of the Sheila and Walter Umphrey Law Center building, the man Baylor law students call “the Godfather” stands looking out his window.
The panoramic view is striking. He can see the campus, the Brazos River and, across the river, the foundation for what will be the new Baylor stadium. How did he get to this pinnacle?
For Richmond senior Jolene Damoiseaux, a thesis was more than an Honors College requirement. Damoiseaux turned her thesis into Mothers On the Move, a program that provides pregnant women on the Nyakach plateau in Kenya with transportation to the Sigoti Health Centre.

After a disastrous 2-6 start to the 2013 season, Baylor volleyball has won six out of its last eight matches in non-conference play to pull back to .500 on the season.
“Because of our slow start, a lot of people wouldn’t have thought we would get back to .500,” head volleyball coach Jim Barnes said. “This is a young team that has had to learn a lot. This has been the most dynamic young season I’ve ever seen as a coach because we’ve had so much change.”
Death is usually associated with sadness, mourning and finality. However, for The Digital Age, death is just the beginning.
In its debut album, “Evening:Morning” released on Aug. 13, the band, formed from members of The David Crowder*Band, explores a journey from darkness to light, both with the Christian walk and in their own faith.
“As Christians, we see things die and come back to life,” said Mark Waldrop, guitarist and vocalist. “Initially, there’s lots of feelings of fear, but for us it very quickly turned to excitement.”
The Emmys mark the official kickoff of awards show season, but there’s the impression that less is at stake when it comes to red carpet fashion because the audience is not as global as it is for the Oscars and the Golden Globes. Traditionally, the European houses don’t dress many Emmys attendees, which can mean a lot of bland fashion.
But not this year.

The image of a smiling Baylor student walking his or her canine hides the strenuous work that goes into raising a dog while also being in school.
While it is not necessarily easy to have a dog in college, testimonies from Baylor students suggest it can be rewarding. But before students rush into making a big decision, they should consider whether or not they are ready to take on this responsibility.

I have a lot of names. I have my given name, Paula Ann Solis, and then there are the less official but still important titles I go by: daughter, sister, friend, American, Mexican, and, my favorite, tía. Then there are the names I’ve been called to bring me down. I will not list them here because they’re not worth mentioning, but there’s one I think people don’t realize I never want to hear: minority.
