Brooks Residential College is mad about energy, and it shows in this fall’s Energy Madness Competition results.
Brooks Residential College won the Fourth four-week Energy Madness Competition. Brooks Residential Flats, an apartment complex owned by Baylor, placed second, only one point behind the winner.
14 teams competed in the fall 2012 competition with 15 residence halls. Allen and Dawson residence halls competed as one team and the other residence halls competed individually. Clare Paul, marketing manager for Baylor Facilities & Energy, said the competition has gradually received more participation each year.
Thursday’s two new bill proposals at the Student Senate meeting could prove crucial to student’s comfort during finals.
Senator and Rockwall sophomore Brock Sterry introduced a new bill to student senators that would reform Baylor’s final exam policy if passed and accepted by the university. It will undergo a vote next week. The current policy allows students with three or more finals on the same day to file an appeal with a professor or dean to move one of the finals to a different date. The Final Exam Policy bill proposes that students be permitted to file an appeal if they have three or more tests within 24 hours.
Baylor professes to giving back to the community — and its students are living up to that claim.
Students in the Baylor Interior Design Association will design a collapsible, temporary 400-square-foot dwelling during a national competition sponsored by the Interior Design Educators Council.
The dwelling will be used to aid four-person families that are in need of shelter after a natural disaster has occurred.
For the first time ever, Fright Night, an event sponsored by Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity (FIJI) and Delta Delta Delta Sorority in conjuction with the Baylor Activities Council (BAC) and Student Activities, will be held on Baylor’s campus. Established in 1996, Fright Night is an annual haunted house event held to benefit the Waco Chapter of Young Life, a Christian organization that fosters friendships between adult leaders and children in order to positively impact the lives of the children involved. The haunted house will open its doors at 8 p.m. and remain open until 11 p.m. tonight, with additional times from 8 p.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday. In addition to the haunted house, free hot chocolate will be served and visitors can visit a photo booth, which will also be free. Photo booth services will be provided by CornerBooth.

When Camp Mystic staff members found themselves trapped on the roof of “Cozy Cabin,” they weren’t listening to the roaring flood quickly inching upward or the thundering storm above — they listened to the faint singing of worship songs from the recreation hall and the whispered prayers of friends beside them.
