Oddest homecoming traditions include barricade kissing, snake dancing, skits - The Baylor Lariat
By Mackenzie Grizzard | Assistant News Editor
Half a century ago, Baylor Homecoming celebrations included barricade kissing, snake dancing and “Hawny Frog” skits, trading elaborate floats for simple wagons and buggies. Today, much like 1909, the bonfire still burns bright, a pep rally flings green and gold afar, the parade bridges downtown Waco and campus and, of course, the football game is a staple. Decades of Baylor Homecoming shine brightly in their similarities, with some crown jewels fadin...

In its 173 years of history, Baylor appointed Dr. Linda Livingstone as the first female president of the university in 2017. At the time, Livingstone didn’t want her gender to matter as much as her qualifications. But she found that as a woman, leading the university out of an infamous scandal meant more to her community than she’d realized.

“Brain-rot” is Oxford University Press’s term of the year, with the use of the term increasing by 230%. With this dramatic uptick, researchers start to wonder if our brains are actually “rotting” — and if it really is because of “those dang phones.”
In conjunction with the University of Texas’s Dell Medical School, Baylor neuroscience researchers have co-authored a study into the connection of an increased risk of dementia and technology use.

For a decade, sexual assault cases and Title IX lawsuits created a dark chapter in Baylor’s story.
In 2015, then-Baylor President and Chancellor Ken Starr asked a Baylor law professor to do an internal inquiry into how the university handled a string of allegations: a student who faced sexual assault charges in 2011, a football player’s arrest for physical assault and two players being named in a sexual assault police report in 2013, a football player convic...

New places are hard; it’s OK to move back home - The Baylor Lariat
By The Editorial Board
There’s no place like home. The streetlights outside your college house don’t quite buzz like the ones by your childhood home, your mom’s recipes never turn out the same when you attempt them by yourself and suddenly, you’re closer to 30 than being a kid yourself.
Sometimes, college can feel in-between. You get used to living on your own, and then, four months later, you’re suddenly back in your childhood bedroom, at home yet living out of a suitcase.

Christian or not, you’ve heard these words. While the Bible might be full of confusing parables and themes open to interpretation, “love thy neighbor” is a simple, universal phrase.
The word “love” appears in the Bible over 300 times, and the exact phrase “love one another” is mentioned 14 times — twice by Jesus himself. In fact, “love thy neighbor” is the second “great commandment” outlined in the Bible, second only to loving God.

Sports take: Tight end Michael Trigg leads Baylor offense - The Baylor Lariat

When you think Title IX at Baylor, most are immediately transported back to 2016, where a sexual assault scandal rocked a football team up to the office of the president.

Navigating the holidays, from a child of divorce - The Baylor Lariat

“I know it’s sad, but now you’ll get two of everything.”
I heard this sentence at least 100 times when my parents first got divorced. Two Thanksgivings, two Christmases, two birthdays — these things might sound exciting from the outside, but it’s not what kids from split families want to hear.

Greek life stereotypes are unfair, mostly for women - The Baylor Lariat
