A recent expansion of the archives also provides space to host classes, lectures and small concerts. It is equipped with a piano and Hammond B3 organ. Beyond music, the archives support research into sacred materials related to Black church and religious history.
In Dr. Lorynn Divita’s fashion forecasting class, which she has taught since 2011, students learn about more than whatever style may be in or out next season. They examine current events, human behavior and history to understand the “why” behind what people wear.
Baylor Athletics Director Doug McNamee is returning to his BYX roots, strengthening connections between current members and alumni alike.
Baylor enrolled 13,860 undergraduates this fall, its lowest total since 2014 and 323 fewer than last year. The decline marks the fourth consecutive year of falling undergraduate enrollment, while graduate enrollment continues to grow.
Despite its name, the freshman flu is not a true case of influenza. The “flu” is a colloquial term for the bugs and colds that spread quickly among the student body and in the Waco area as the fall semester starts, and it will continue on and off throughout the school year.

Football dominates Arizona State for one of the most impressive conference wins in the Dave Aranda Era, while No. 9 soccer extends its unbeaten streak and sits atop the Big 12.
No. 21 Baylor volleyball is still in search of its first ranked win of the season after dropping a marquee matchup at home.
The Bears sent a message with their 55-19 dismantling of Arizona State: When Baylor’s offense clicks, it can overwhelm opponents. Baylor still has lots to prove only five games into the season, but the Bears should be taken seriously.
Head coach Dave Aranda said earlier in the week that Baylor need more explosive plays. The Bears took that to heart as they exploded for a 55-19 statement win over Arizona State.

ARTS & LIFE
The ups and downs of the sisters’ love lives, the gossip of the neighbors and the twists and turns and betrayals from different characters kept the audience attentively watching and waiting for the next twist in Jane Austen’s drama.
“I’m going to Disney World,” is what’s shouted after almost every Super Bowl by the best player on the winning team. Instead, what they should be saying is “I’m going to Disneyland.”
In classrooms across Baylor, an epidemic has gone silently unnoticed: a lack of motivation to learn. While this seems to be addressed in the conversation about literacy rates and artificial intelligence, it has yet to be discussed that students would rather do homework or respond to emails than sit attentively in class.
It is an absolute privilege not to sympathize or empathize with homeless people. People in general, especially Baylor students, need to take it upon themselves to step out of that privilege, enter the real world and do as God commanded us: giving to those in need.
The debate spans as far back as the Hawaiian pizza was created, but I am here to finally settle it: Pineapple is a fantastic pizza topping. Backed by science and history, I prove and solidify pineapple’s place in the pizza kitchen.
Pineapple on pizza. An argument that seems to never come to an end. Even the local Shorty’s waiters can’t agree when I asked two of them the other night.
College will be some of the busiest and most social years of our lives. Between joining different organizations, staying on top of school work and trying to hang out with your friends as much as you can, it becomes difficult not to say yes to everything. My advice is to take a few moments, with or without people, and to simply sit in silence.
