Despite the work that goes into each position, each Waco Hall staff member pointed to others as the essential pieces in Sing’s success. Spring senior Jillian Herman noted the efforts of the performers themselves, Brazoria senior Isabella Davis the dedication of professional Waco Hall staff and Plano junior Oliver Dillard the importance of stagehands. All three conveyed Sing as a tradition not marked by performances or ticket sales, but by the cooperation of all parts in one machine.

According to Plano junior Oliver Dillard, a Waco Hall Ticketing Office staff member, the ticketing office allocates a set number of tickets to administration each year. The seats are usually in the center orchestra, and many are still unclaimed by the time Sing comes along. These tickets open to the public an hour before each show, so students can come early to secure a last-minute ticket.

I transferred from Syracuse University last year, and its absence policy was determined on a professor-by-professor basis. Some classes had stringent attendance policies, while others had none. While that is the complete opposite of Baylor’s policy, I feel there should be a middle ground that balances regular class attendance with more situational leniency on the students’ part.

Even though the quality of the robots isn’t perfect — like humans — the idea behind bringing Starship robots to campus is to provide a convenient and efficient food delivery option for students and the broader campus community.
