A bloody head and cracked wakeboard are only small drawbacks the Baylor wakeboarding team has faced.

The club has become highly competitive at the national level in the past few years and has shown that Baylor has very talented wakeboarders, said Austin senior Reagan Strickland, the president of Baylor Wake.

Nearly three weeks ago, Kimberly Minnick’s parents received a letter from her health insurance company.

“My mom called me to say my health insurance was ending and that I’d need to get a physical before the end of the year,” Minnick said.

According to the 24-year-old Truett Seminary student, Celtic Insurance Co. was going out of business.

Minnick said she’s lost her insurance providers before. “It’s the third time that’s happened to me,” she said.

American Airlines and US Airways reached a deal with the government that lets the two form the world’s biggest airline and opens up more room at key U.S. airports for low-cost carriers.

The settlement announced Tuesday — if approved by a federal judge — would end a fight with the U.S. Justice Department and head off a courtroom showdown later this month.

President Ken Starr, along with the Kenya Women’s Leadership team, will be sponsoring the Starrs’ St. Kizito’s Christmas Project.

Over the past three years a small group of women have traveled to Africa to spend time in the slums of Kenya helping out with a small school called St. Kizito’s.

For the first time the Baylor community has the opportunity to bring Christmas to that school in Kenya. Students, faculty, staff or members of the community can buy a Christmas stocking for $27 plus $2 for shipping costs and the money will go toward buying gifts for a particular child at the school.
