“It just shows that there are people that care about their police department, but also care about their fellow neighbors and their community,” Shipley said. “They want to see a thriving area to live in. It’s great to know that there are people out there willing to help us meet that goal.”
Recent winter chills and freezing temperatures caught many by surprise and also risked the health of many. The flu is currently spreading around campus, but current bronchitis and pneumonia outbreaks are creating a riskier health setting.

Just In
Excitement filled the air in Waco as football kicked its season off and volleyball was set for a top-20 clash. The weekend did not go the Bears’ way as football drops a heartbreaker and volleyball gets swept.
No. 17 Florida’s intense service pressure and rally-killing attacks overpower No. 20 Baylor volleyball in the top-20 matchup.
“Everyone believed we [were] going to win; I did, and we fought to try and get that win,” said Aranda. “Guys were playing through pain, discomfort, and all that. It’s one of the reasons for going for it. You know, we had a bunch of guys getting band-aided up, and we had a chance to kind of close it out.”
Baylor decided to try to win the game with a 2-point conversion with nine seconds remaining. The Bears fell inches short of the game-winning conversion, dropping the season opener to Auburn.

ARTS & LIFE
It’s staycation weekend, which means it’s time to take a rest from two weeks of labor and scout out the Waco scene. Here are some activities to get you out, about and away from that assignment you’ve been stuck on.
There’s no shame if you and your roommate aren’t two peas in a pod.
With midterms coming up or just finishing, we all need a break from school. Even if we don’t have a weeklong break in the fall semester until Thanksgiving, we all need to ensure we’re getting enough rest and relaxation.
Dancing is natural. It’s self-expression through movement, and we all have the capacity to express ourselves.
There is a 100% chance that you will have an opinion one day that will upset, offend and otherwise provoke your peers. So what?
You used to cry for all kinds of reasons as a kid, and you still can cry for all kinds or reasons as an adult.
It’s no secret that no two people are the same. So why do we assume it is safe to treat others how we want to be treated? Instead, treat others how they want to be treated, also known as the platinum rule.
