Last week, my rhetoric professor asked our class to define the typical Baylor student. Most students responded with answers that included words like “rich,” “white” and “Baptist.”
While I believe most could agree to these definitions of the typical Baylor student, I kept thinking that I, a regular freshman girl, didn’t even fit that stereotype made out of three simple words.
We understand the idea behind five-day language classes: more time in class offers more time to learn and should help students.
However, that is not the reality. Ranging from Arabic to Spanish, some low-level language classes, which are required in some cases, are offered from Monday through Friday.
Every February, people from all across the country gather in their living rooms to watch the Super Bowl, the emblem of American sports.
The Super Bowl is a meeting between the top teams of both the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference, but as far as entertainment values go, it isn’t all about the game.
Slow down there, partner!
To say these words to a NASCAR racer would seem a tad inappropriate, but to say these same words to drivers in the parking garages would be too tame.
There were 2,892 science majors in 2011 according to Baylor Institutional Research and Testing.
That’s about a fourth of Baylor’s 2011 total undergraduate enrollment of 12,754. That number does not include graduate students and faculty members with offices in the Baylor Sciences Building who might spend more time there than undergraduate students with classes there. That number also doesn’t include students from other majors that take classes in the BSB.
In a controversial Newsweek editorial in 2009, Jon Meacham predicted the “End of Christian America.” Citing a 10 percentage point drop in the number of self-identified Christians, Meacham applied the term “post-Christian” to an American society in which Christianity is continuing to lose influence.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for East Village to open up in the fall.
Although I’m not going to be living there, I think East Village great for science students who live on campus because it will allow them to stay in relatively nice on-campus housing that’s close to the BSB, were they will be spending most of their time.
Brittney Griner might go down as the best women’s basketball player of all time.
Her incredible combination of size and skill have made her the most recognizable face in women’s college basketball. This will soon be the case when she enters the WNBA Draft. She will probably be the WNBA’s Michael Jordan. Or, rather, its Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
