Just like in many Baylor Christmas seasons past, the School of Music will hold its annual “A Baylor Christmas” choir and orchestra performances on Dec. 5, 6 and 8. However, the holiday tradition has found a new home this year in Waco Hall, Memphis junior Elie Lassiter said.

After weeks and even months of choreographing, practicing and dancing ‘til they drop, the performers of Pigskin had their moment of glory tonight. After the homecoming court was announced and the curtain was dropped, it was showtime.

Today is the day when some of the best acts from February’s All-University Sing will return to Waco Hall for the annual Pigskin Revue. Tonight at 7 p.m. — opening night — Kappa Omega Tau, Chi Omega, Phi Kappa Chi, Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sing Alliance will take to the stage.

Baylor’s traditional chapel offering — large-scale student gatherings in Waco Hall — has been scattered into a variety of “calling and career” options in recent years, as the chapel department pushes to personalize the chapel experience. The result: more than four dozen options, including everything from Aviation Chapel to Eastern Orthodox Morning Prayers.

All around campus, Baylor has wonderful shows to offer. Whether they’re from the theater department or student organizations, each one is distinct, and students should take advantage of the opportunity to go see them.

If you’re a part of the 45% of students in the College of Arts and Sciences, you’re all too familiar with credits for CAEs — Creative Arts Experiences. They’re intended to help students become engaged in art, music, theater, film and literature on campus. For some reason, All-University Sing and Pigskin Revue don’t fall under this category, even though there are hundreds of participants every year — from Sing chairs and stagehands to sororities and fraternities.

The time for interfaith and multicultural worship has come for those attending Gospel Fest this Saturday.

Gospel Fest 2013, hosted by Baylor’s Heavenly Voices gospel choir, will be held at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in Waco Hall.

This year’s theme is “Still Standing.” The acts include gospel choirs from all over Waco and the Central Texas area, such as Acts Church, the University of North Texas gospel choir, the Waco Community Choir, The Levites from Austin and many more.

Every year the Lariat editorial board interviews student body officer candidates in order to understand platforms, gauge abilities and represent the student body’s voice. This year’s editorial board has chosen to continue the endorsements. We are endorsing junior Kelly Rapp for student body president on a 5-0-0 vote and Raechel Adams for external vice president on a 5-0-0 vote.

It’s that time of year when friends and classmates look more haggard than usual, disappear each night between the hours of 5 and 10 p.m. and are caught breaking into dance routines in odd places around campus.

Watch Baylor fraternities and sororities battle it out for prize money at the Battle on the Burning Sands Stepshow at 5 p.m. Saturday in Waco Hall.
