The ULM Warhawks have never really accomplished anything at the FBS level.
Democrats argue it was a step “forward” for our country, promising the benefits of fewer uninsured Americans. Republicans, on the other hand, view the act as a step “back”, sacrificing personal liberty while driving up the cost of health insurance for all Americans. According to Mayor Mike Bloomberg of New York City (a figurehead of the No Labels movement), there is an easy solution to reconciling our differing political beliefs.
Voting is a right that, as Americans, we are fortunately blessed with.
It stands to reason, therefore, that everyone should have equal opportunity to register to vote, right? Wrong. The Baylor Democrats, and other student political organizations, have been out on the front lines every election year trying to register people to vote, and they have met with success.

“To vote or not to vote?”
That is not the question – what has been called into question is the ability of campus partisan groups to hold voter registration drives. This year they cannot, although they have been allowed in years past.

Rockwall senior Nick Pokorny’s building a better Baylor bowling alley legislation passed at Thursday evening’s student senate meeting, but it left a few spares standing in its wake.
The proposed legislation passed with the vote of 33 senators, but there were eight senators who could not be convinced that Pokorny’s idea to rebuild and upgrade the bowling lanes lost last spring was practical.
Chick-fil-A is once again in the public relations fryer.
The controversy flared up this week when a Chicago poli¬tician said the company was no longer giving to groups that op¬pose same-sex marriage, angering Christian conservatives who sup¬ported Chick-fil-A this summer when its president reaffirmed his opposition to gay marriage.
