Registration time at Baylor can be a frantic rush to find CRN numbers, work out a schedule and email professors in order to be placed in a closed-class section.
The stress and worry for students that they won’t get the classes they need can cause them to engage in practices to beat the system – like holding classes.
Students who hold classes register for classes they don’t intend to take to create a space in the class for friends with later registration dates.
Even Bruiser gets to register early.
More than 6,245 undergraduate students are eligible to register before their classification’s normal registration date as members of early registration priority groups.

Some were skeptical when Ubisoft unveiled the time and location of the latest “Assassin’s Creed” entry back in March, but this skepticism was entirely unwarranted.
“Assassin’s Creed III,” the fifth installment in the series thus far, takes us to the end of the world, and the end of British rule in colonial America.
In the game, we are introduced to a brand new assassin who is a Native American from the Kanien’keha:ka tribe named Ratonhnhaké:ton (he is nicknamed “Connor,” and will be referred to as such) as he becomes involved in the growing civil war between the British loyalists and the American colonists.
A 2,500 year old Eurepides classic is getting a steampunk makeover in the Baylor Theatre’s production of “Hecuba,” showing nightly until the weekend.
The show itself was truly a work of art. From the beginning to the end, the actors and actresses, including Michael Griffin as Polydorus and Nellsyn Hill as Hecuba, helped bring the performance to life through pure emotion.
Though the story contains historical elements, Waco graduate student and director Christopher Peck says the play speaks for itself.

Just last week, Americans went out in droves and exercised their right to vote.
While many people were pleased that Barack Obama was re-elected for his second term in office, others were less than ecstatic and expressed their disappointment.
