Dr. David Clinton is a professor of political science, studies international relations theory, American foreign policy, the art and practice of diplomacy and ethics and international relations. The Baylor Lariat asked Clinton to share some of his thoughts on the Syrian conflict.
In late August, the city of Damascus was hit by a chemical weapons attack which killed over a thousand people. The Obama administration has expressed interest in getting involved with the conflict in hopes of finding a resolution and preventing further attacks.
U.S. and Russian negotiators remain at odds on a U.N. Security Council resolution that would hold Syria accountable if it fails to live up to pledges to dismantle its chemical weapons stockpiles, American officials said Tuesday, as President Barack Obama warned the world body that it risks its credibility and reputation if it does not act.
Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met for nearly 90 minutes at the United Nations and though progress was made in some areas, they were unable to reach agreement on the text of a resolution that would meet Obama’s standard, the officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss publicly the closed-door meeting.
Many couples dream of adopting a child and will do whatever it takes to bring a child to the family, even if it means through less than legal means. A Reuters reporter investigated an underground network for adopted children where children and teenagers are handed off to other families.
An underground market can seem like a dream come true for couples who desperately want children but do not have the time or money to go through the lengthy adoption process to become official adoptive parents. However, if one child is sold, or given, to a family that will abuse him or her in any way, it negates anything positive that can be gained from this underground market.
After you graduate high school, everyone wants to know about your life at college.
They ask about the friends you have made and the organizations you have joined.
They ask if you go to football games or, particularly for Baylor, if you ever got to meet Robert Griffin III or Brittney Griner while they were students.
Typical stuff.
So God created all the creatures of the Earth and gave them to Adam to rule over, and God saw that it was good. On the seventh day God rested.
If you’ll look closely at your Bible, pay attention to the asterisk at the end of Genesis Chapter 1 that notes how while God was sleeping, Alfred Hitchcock created grackles and sent them to Waco, telling them they didn’t have to answer to anyone so long as they always stayed together in large groups, sacrificed one of the flock to be entrapped inside a grocery store once a week, pooped on sidewalks and screamed like a coronet player choking on a Fruit Rollup.

In a deluge of rain like the one Baylor campus received on Friday, it is not uncommon for flooding to occur on streets, sidewalks and buildings.
“Fifth Street floods just from the age of it,” said Brian Nicholson, associate vice president for facility, planning and construction. “You’ll notice when you go up and down Fifth Street there are not storm drains at all, so when it rains, the water goes down the street all the way to Waco Creek. That’s the primary reason for the flooding.”
Look out, grackles! Planes, helicopters and skydivers will fill the Waco sky this Saturday as Texas State Technical College hosts the first air show its had in seven years.
The Heart of Texas Airshow will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at the Texas State Technical College campus airport on Campus Drive. Ticket prices range from around $6 to $50 and can be purchased via heartoftexasairshow.com
When it comes to staying safe on campus, it’s helpful to know Baylor has a number of measures in place to make sure students stay informed and safe at all hours of the day.
Brandon Martin, CL&L zone/project manager at Aramark Higher Education, said an important factor in determining the safety of a college campus said is how well-lit the campus is at night.

The Prada Marfa art installation has stood alone in the West Texas plains for eight years, its high-end Italian fashion goods available to no one.
Now, state officials say the shack-sized building along a rural U.S. highway near Marfa is an illegal roadside advertisement, and they’re considering what to do about a structure that’s a must-see for passing tourists and a must-hit for vandals.
here will be no rose ceremony for a 430-pound bachelor gorilla that failed to form any meaningful relationships with fellow apes during an 18-year stay at the Dallas Zoo.
Patrick, the 23-year-old Western lowland gorilla known for being gregarious with zoo staff and the public, while being ambivalent toward his female counterparts, has been handed his walking papers. The silverback will be transferred to the Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Columbia, S.C., where he’ll be allowed more solitude, according to a statement issued Monday by the Dallas Zoo.
The No. 19 Baylor Bears (3-0) are undefeated on the season and generating buzz nationally with gaudy offensive statistics after a 70-7 blowout victory against the University of Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks on Saturday at Floyd Casey Stadium.
“We’ve had three home games,” Baylor head coach Art Briles said. “We’ve taken advantage of being home, and we’ve got good people. We have a good football team. If you combine those factors, it’s people making plays on both sides of the ball. We’ve got to keep playing at a high rate and win. That’s the bottom line.”
Baylor volleyball went 2-1 in the Flo Hyman Collegiate Cup hosted at the University of Houston on Friday and Saturday with wins over North Texas and Houston, as well as a five-set loss to Louisiana State.

No. 11 Baylor extended its 30-game unbeaten streak with a 2-0 over Boise State on Sunday. The Bears (7-0-2) also had a game scheduled on Friday night against UNT, but it was canceled because of the overwhelming rain in Waco.

The tires of a black Hummer screeched to a stop. With The Black Keys blaring, three men stepped out of the truck and onto an unorthodox stage that would host their impending performance. The audience watched as the alley behind Schmaltz’s Sandwich Shoppe in downtown Waco set the scene for an act from Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”
Three years later, two of those audience members will bring the work of Shakespeare to different locations around Waco in the series “Shakespeare on Location.” Arlington senior Amy Dale is one of the four students who applied and was chosen for this semester’s Advanced Directing class at Baylor.
