Having trouble adjusting?
A new program called MAP-Works has been launched this semester to assist freshmen and transfer students as they adapt to Baylor life.

Dear old-fashioned, outdated, face-to-face communication: We are no longer in need of your service, but thanks anyways – we have Facebook.
Cell phones, social media sites and computers – to name a few – seem to be replacing authentic, face-to-face communication. I remember the days where sitting at the dinner table each night consisted of conversational replies other than, “Oh, sorry mom, what? I didn’t hear you, I was texting my friends back,” or, “Hold that thought while I post how much fun we’re having on Instagram.”
The first thing that comes to mind when the word ‘anime’ is brought up is typically ‘immature’, or ‘childish’. This is a warranted thought, because some of the first shows considered anime that western audiences are introduced to are “Yu-Gi-Oh” or “Pokémon” (the latter of which some Baylor students STILL enjoy).
This year has been fraught with controversies, one after another: some big, some small; some tragic and some arbitrary. The nature of social media in an ever-shrinking world ensures that there’s always a new problem to fight about. Breast-feeding has been a long-standing point of debate with many sides and many points of view.
Baylor Round Table’s October program will feature a tour of the newly renovated Gov. Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village from 3 to 5 p.m. on October 4 at the Mayborn Museum Complex.
Escape to the French Riviera with the theatre arts department for its presentation of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels – The Musical” from 7:30 to 10 p.m. today at the Jones Theatre in the Hooper-Schaefer Fine Arts Center. For more show dates, visit https://www.baylor.edu/theatre.
The Hankamer School of Business’ undergraduate entrepreneurship program has been ranked No. 2 in the nation, up one spot from last year, and No. 1 in Texas, amid more than 2,000 schools surveyed by The Princeton Review for Entrepreneur Magazine.
Believe it or not, a little cough or a sneeze can affect you in the long run.
The Baylor Health Center is gearing up for flu season by offering vaccinations now until Oct. 23. Each vaccination will cost $20. Students’ E-bill accounts will be billed while faculty and staff members will have the cost deducted from their payrolls. Vaccinations can also be paid for up front at one of the eight designated locations on campus.
The United States and the U.N.’s new Syria mediator grappled for a new strategy Tuesday toward stopping 18 months of brutal government crackdowns and civil war in the Arab country as President Barack Obama again called for the end of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime.
Confronting global tumult and Muslim anger, President Barack Obama exhorted world leaders Tuesday to stand fast against violence and extremism, arguing that protecting religious rights and free speech must be a universal responsibility and not just an American obligation.
A Palestinian legislator says President Mahmoud Abbas will likely ask the United Nation’s General Assembly to vote on recognizing Palestine in November.

The Baylor Bears volleyball team hasn’t played a home match in 21 days and it hasn’t beaten Texas in 20 straight games.
Only one of those streaks were broken on Tuesday night as Baylor fell to the No. 9 Texas Longhorns in straight sets 3-0 (19-25, 18-25, 22-25).
The Bears had a difficult time defending Texas’ firepower.
It was perhaps the most bizarre and absurd way to end a football game. The entire nation saw the referees rob the Green Bay Packers of a win and hand the Seahawks a win in one of the most controversial endings the NFL has ever witnessed.
“End of Watch” is like the “Paranormal Activity” of cop movies. It aims to bring the viewer into the heat of the action through the shaky shots and handheld cameras.
“End of Watch” uses the novelty successfully, creating a sense of urgency and bringing the actor’s point of view to light.
Few places embody punk rock ideals less than Las Vegas, the setting for Green Day singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong’s onstage tantrum on Friday night. And few Green Day albums embody the punk ideal less than “¡Uno!,” the band’s eighth studio album. Both highlight the challenges of turning rebellion into money.
In 2009, it looked as if we might be on the cusp of a golden age of science fiction in TV and film. “Battlestar Galactica” was wrapping up its award-winning, five-year run and the big-screen Star Trek reboot proved to be a surprisingly enjoyable return to form.
Turns out, the “Hunger Follies” is not just a food fight. But that does not mean students will not get messy.
Freshman Follies, an annual event hosted by Student Foundation, will be held at 6 p.m. today in Fountain Mall.
It’s easy to go into an advising appointment and say that you want to get a fellowship from the EPA to do your honors thesis.
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney tasted the proverbial foot last week when secretly recorded footage of his speech at a private fundraiser held last May found its way onto the Internet.
In signature Romney style, the presidential hopeful attempted to convince the wealthy donors present at the event that he was primarily concerned with winning over the “5 to 10 percent in the center that are independents.”
The glitz, the glamour, the fame, the scrutiny.
What makes a big-name actor so popular is their fan base. They happen to perform that one role in just the right way and garners accolades and attention from the public. But sometimes that role can blind-side the thespian and force them to face the ugly side of their admirers.
Consider this the first volley.
There was once a storied organization at good old Baylor U.
