Campaign season for Baylor’s next student body president kicked off Wednesday, with three experienced juniors vying for the title. These three candidates have each had extensive experience in different areas of student government, making for a close presidential race.

These reboots don’t bring the same charm. Instead, they rely on viewers’ nostalgia while struggling to stand on their own. While it’s fun to see old characters, nostalgia can only carry a show so far. Without strong writing and fresh storytelling, these reboots feel like imitations rather than meaningful continuations.

Since the start of his second term, President Donald Trump has been not-so-subtly expressing his desire to annex Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, though he first hinted at this in 2019. Initially, it almost seemed like a joke, but it quickly became serious when the administration began to send envoys of ambassadors to the chilly island this year.

“I had the sixth note on top of this big lookout point called Double Peak Park, where I was there with the photographer, and the ring of course,” Small said. “And the sixth note was inside of a Bible that said Amelia Small, which is my last name.”

These stereotypes can be harmful as well as inaccurate. It’s all fun and games until we start taking these stereotypes for fact.

As the sun dips below the horizon, a different world awakens at the Lake Waco Wetlands. Every Friday in April, from 7-8 p.m., Cameron Park Zoo staff will guide visitors through the wetlands for an after-dark adventure where nocturnal plants and animals take center stage.

When I see laws added or removed for monetary gain that completely ignore the immensely negative impact they will have on Earth, I am left bewildered. I cannot help but think of the countless passages in the Bible commanding us to do the opposite.

This Friday, from 7 to 9 p.m., the Barfield Drawing Room will be a drawing room no more. Instead there will be mocktails, hors d’oeuvres, low lights, ironed shirts and some smooth jazz.

For the first time since 2020, Baylor football kicked off spring practice with no question marks surrounding who the starting quarterback would be. Highlighted by redshirt senior Sawyer Robertson, the uncontested QB1, the quarterback room is looking to elevate the Bears’ top 20 offense in year two with offensive coordinator Jake Spavital.

The Republican Party’s platform has lost its substance by only opposing and provoking the left. Conservatives, if they want to stay strong after Trump’s second term ends, will have to search for a platform that focuses on traditional, family values rather than purely opposing the left and “woke.”

“[Stanley] is so well respected, not only in terms of level of competitiveness at the school that he was at, but being about all the right things — about student development, about alignment with [the] Christian mission,” Cook said.

While it’s not a direct result of Rodman’s appointment as director of public safety, there’s been another development on the BUDPS front. After long backups, new police vehicles are finally arriving to rejuvenate BUPD’s fleet of cars.
