On March 18, the Student Court made a decision on the McCahill, Hardy v. Kinghorn case. The decision, however, raises more questions than answers.
Church activities had always been a part of my life, so that didn’t change. As my faith grew, I started recognizing and understanding how churches work. I understood that the people are what make a church possible.
New reports from USA Today suggest that long-term care for senior citizens is becoming increasingly expensive and effectively working to increase the costs of healthcare for the elderly.
Even though Hardy has historically been a successful football player, the Cowboys should not have added him to the roster. By signing him, the Cowboys sent a very clear message: If we can make money off of you, we’re not worried about the threat you pose to society.
On Tuesday, actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie released an op-ed in the New York Times titled “Angelina Jolie Pitt: Diary of a Surgery.” The article revealed her choice to remove both her ovaries and fallopian tubes just two years after she had a double mastectomy — a decision she also publicized.
Instead of picking up a newspaper or turning on the local news, the millennial generation looks at shared Buzzfeed articles to satisfy their news content intake.
Flip to any religious television channel and you’re far more likely to see thousand-dollar suits and elegant churches the size of small municipalities than anything resembling “the poor,” “the meek” or “the suffering.”
Throughout high school and during my time here at Baylor, I have been described as a couple of things. One word seems to be repetitive: organized.
As a senior graduating in December, I am already on the job hunt. As most people know, getting a job in the market these days is near to impossible for recent graduates.
The men’s basketball team, going into the NCAA Tournament as three-seed, was highly favored to win the second round. The upset was upsetting and unexpected to coaches, players and fans. That being said, the fan response on social media in regard to Baylor head coach Scott Drew was uncalled for and tacky. Almost instantly, Baylor fans hit Twitter with venom aimed at Drew.
Student government has been quite “popular” recently with the case of McCahill, Hardy v. Kinghorn. I’ll be the first to admit there were mistakes in the interpretation of the governing documents from the Senate Executive Council, but how can the court in good conscience issue such a verdict when their entire operation is in conflict?
I am a bit surprised by the outrage on social media after the Student Court’s decision in McCahill, Hardy v. Kinghorn. In my opinion, the court’s 22-page analysis showed a high level of judicial knowledge and careful weighing of the evidence. The court ruled on specific violations of the Constitution and Senate bylaws
Yesterday the Jerry and Susie Wilson Chair in Religious Freedom, former U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, joined the esteemed list of On Topic series participants. Notably referred to as the “conscience of Congress,” Wolf and President and Chancellor Ken Starr undoubtedly planted a seed of reflection in all those in attendance, including me.
Outside of select pockets in Arkansas and C-SPAN, Tom Cotton probably wasn’t really a “household” name until a few weeks ago. Cotton, a Republican U.S. senator from Arkansas, sent a letter to the Iranian government condemning President Barack Obama’s negotiation with Iran.
One of the most pressing tasks on my todo list is to finish my basic courses at a local community college this summer. I’m under pressure because the university stops accepting transfer credits during a student’s final 30 hours at Baylor.
With the Loretta Lynch controversy, however, Madison’s quote today would sound something more like “Because men are not angels, let’s abolish all forms of government.”
The Lariat has impressed me since I started law school here in the fall. The articles are generally thoughtful, pertinent and fair. However, I find the recent article about Baylor declining to investigate the local SAE chapter outright offensive.
First, they sang “God Will Take Care of You.” Then they walked out of Brown Chapel to a playground where they organized themselves into 24 groups of 25 each and set out marching.
Whether traveling, partying or just relaxing over spring break, you probably saw the fallout from a video of University of…
“With great power comes great responsibility,” according to Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben.
There are many superheroes in comic books, from Superman to Batman and everything in between. Some are not as well-known as others, but they are still just as significant.
My first experience in the brand new McLane Stadium was not the home opener as tickets were gone before I…

One of the most popular features of an iPhone is the emoji feature that individuals can use in text messages. Rather than try and communicate tone in a tone-deaf text medium, people can include the small icons to spice up text messages. It’s become so popular, other providers have begun to try and replicate emojis.
However, Apple has come under fire in the past for its lack of diversity when it comes to emojis.
Some of the student body were less than pleased with the way alerts were sent. While there may have been some inconsistencies, it is important to understand the Baylor alert process from the first mention of possible bad weather to when we get those alerts to our electronic devices.
We’ve all experienced the life evaluation that occasionally follows after checking social media. That girl ran a half-marathon this morning? I haven’t gotten out of bed yet. He landed an impressive accounting internship? I can’t even remember to pay my rent on time.
Last week, Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen testified before Congress and was questioned by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Jeb Hensarling who serves as chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and others. During the hearings, Yellen was asked about inflation, the unemployment rate and the Federal Reserve System’s top legal counsel.

This past week, thousands of conservatives gathered from across the nation in National Harbor, MD for the Conservative Political Action Conference (w). People attend CPAC to network and listen to a variety of renowned conservative speakers. During the conference, attendees were encouraged to vote for their presidential preference in a straw poll
“Umm … I don’t think so,” I said hesitantly and ignorantly when my English professor asked me if I was a feminist during my freshman year of college. While feminism simply means equality of the sexes, and that means equality for all races of women, why do so many flee from being labeled feminist?
