Returning for its 29th year, Baylor’s Gateway to India will transform Waco Hall into an atmosphere filled with music, dances and community this Saturday.

Jim Jaska has been the mayor of Ross, Texas, for 40 years. But in four decades at the helm of the 250-person community just north of Waco, he’s never seen a situation like this: plans for a $10 billion data center are underway right in the little town’s backyard, threatening its rural identity — and he wasn’t told anything about it.
Gas prices in Texas have surged more than 70 cents per gallon since the U.S. went to war with Iran three weeks ago. The near-total shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz has driven oil prices up more than 40%, pushing the national average to its highest point since 2023 and sending diesel past $5 for the first time in three years.
Students, faculty and staff gathered Tuesday night in Bobo Spiritual Life Center to break the Ramadan fast and experience community across cultural and religious lines.

The top eight All-University Sing acts returned for Pigskin Revue 2026 Thursday night, and they did not disappoint.

I was depressed and anxious. Utterly lost. And then I saw a vision of the throne room of heaven. Nothing was ever the same.
For Superman, Hollywood was obsessed with the idea of an evil version of the character. From characters like Homelander, Omni-Man and to an extent, the DCEU Superman, the archetype had shifted from a kind and caring hero to an unstable villain that abuses their power for personal gain. The original idea of an altruistic Superman-like character was pushed aside with that darker depiction taking over.
The only “green” our economy cares about is the dollar, and one day, we are going to wish we cared about the green on the trees a little more. So when the oil rigs run dry and our oceans are filled to the brim with waste, it won’t just be because of plastic straws — it will be because of us and our gluttony.
