Students can now ride Waco Public Transit’s 10 city-fixed routes for free through a yearlong pilot program funded by Baylor’s Student Body Government. Students need their Baylor student ID to ride.
Tensions continued to grow over the summer between political adversaries as Texas state Sen. James Talarico called on Attorney General Ken Paxton to release internal records related to a controversial child sexual abuse case involving former Waco attorney and Baylor Law graduate Adam Hoffman.
Baylor Fitness partnered with Student Government and the Parents Advisory Council to build a state-of-the-art cycling studio in the McLane Student Life Center.
Textbook prices keep climbing, but buying a hard copy isn’t the only way Baylor students are accessing course materials. From Follett Fees to Canvas and library course reserves, students are finding ways to get what they need for class without always purchasing a new book.

“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.”

All Are Neighbors, held in the Cashion Academic Center, drew 270 ticketed attendees, totaling 352 people, including VIP guests and speakers, nearly filling all available seats. The event was created in response to TPUSA’s presence on campus, but speakers and organizers consistently emphasized that the gathering was not merely reactive. Instead, it functioned as a faith-centered call to action, rooted in Christian teaching and expressed through civic engagement.

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.
From Baylor athletics to Fountain Mall swims, tune in for a guide to graduating seniors on do’s and don’ts for the last stretch of time at Baylor, from a senior.
Senioritis is hard. It’s not because of a choice to suddenly become “lazy,” but because, for the first time, I can see what’s beyond the finish line, and I feel ready to move on with my life.
The next time you want to complain about Waco, remember that there is a lot of beauty here. You’re not living in a desert or driving three hours to reach the nearest airport. There are plenty of hidden gems to discover in Waco — you just have to discover and appreciate them.
By regulating attire, the SLC may also unintentionally limit the amount of physical activity students can comfortably engage in. Gym clothing should match the intensity of the workout. Allowing the body to regulate temperature more effectively during long sessions can improve performance. Permitting tank tops would help achieve that.
What is unsettling about almost is that it feels alive. It sits between reality and fantasy, both possible and lost at once. We replay it in our minds not as something over but as something suspended and frozen, waiting for us to admit we let it slip.
Just blocks from campus, Wacoans live without a place to stay, asking for money on the corner of every popular grease pit location. All the while, one of the state’s largest universities hasn’t done much to drive change.
