PRISM’s chartering has been a long time coming, whether you like it or not. Despite mixed reactions, Baylor students and staff should open themselves up to new opportunities, even if those opportunities aren’t for them specifically.
The Tutoring Center provides many resources for a student who is seeking help. However, the length of one-on-one sessions should be extended to an hour instead of 30 minutes. Students have a hard time grasping concepts in a short period of time.

I spent most of my life thinking Texas had nothing more to it than reverence for the American flag and my greatest enemy, country music.
