Nearly 75 years ago, Baylor’s All-University Sing had little the pomp and circumstance it does today. On a rainy spring night in April 1953, a meager 13 souls gathered into Waco Hall to watch just eight groups perform after the weather had relocated them from their original location at the SUB Bowl.
The curtain may rise in February, but for the members of Baylor’s Student Productions Committee, the work behind All-University Sing begins long before taking the stage.
Sing Alliance is known for its high-energy themes and open-door policy; it’s become the route for many freshmen looking to take the stage in their first year at Baylor. For Waco freshman Zayn Matthews and Montgomery freshman Haley Conner, the organization gave them more than just the stage; it gave them a family.
Even with an overall decrease in crime, that does not mean every area is completely safe. The crime map updates frequently, making it a more reliable resource than waiting for news reports. It displays crime data from the last 90 days, covering a wide range of offenses and allowing residents to stay informed about activity in their area.
In a time where only the tensest interactions between civilians and law enforcement are being distributed across the internet, Baylor’s Department of Public Safety is doing things differently. Lighthearted informational posts and staff bios fill the department’s social media feed, while donut giveaways and bracelet-making workshops fill the time between patrols.

ARTS & LIFE
A great playlist combines two things — diversity and vibes. Whether you’re waking up at 5 a.m. to throw candy off the side of a float or enjoying the game from the comfort of your couch, it’s crucial to have the right tunes for homecoming.
With All-University Sing on the horizon, and the level of competition increasing each year, it is natural to feel some sense of comparison versus other competitors and chapters. But, as a Panhellenic community, we should be uplifting and cheering on our fellow chapters.
Far too many people don’t look further than the text of these articles. Some — as many as 75% of people, based on a study conducted from 2017-2020 — don’t even read past the headline. Upon a few extra minutes of examining sources and digging deeper into certain statistics, one may find that many of these articles exaggerate, mislead and even outright lie about the information within.
This album did exactly what she set out to do — challenge what a genre is and what it should be. It shows that Beyoncé is more than just a pop star — she is a true visionary. She did not say that country should start over or be something completely new, but rather that its depth and history should not be forgotten during an era of change.
Even working-class Palisades residents — ranging from housekeepers to engineers — have been virtually ignored in favor of a slew of content regarding celebrities. Unlike the celebrities, these people were already being priced out of their homes, and will not likely will be able to return, especially as landlords use this opportunity to raise rents for the desperate, newly displaced.
Soccer isn’t just a sport — it’s a passion, a tradition and a connection that goes through generations. If you’ve never given it a real chance, maybe it’s time you did. You might just discover a new love for the beautiful sport.
Stop forcing yourself to be a leader if that’s not the path you see yourself in. If you are a leader, don’t diminish the excellence of your supporters. And if you are a college admissions officer, don’t reject someone just because they weren’t class president or football captain.
