By Analiz González Staff writer

Some faculty members have expressed con- cern over what they perceive to be a radically dif- ferent community at Brooks College than at other residences on campus. The college will have its own board of trustees, motto and coat of arms. It will be modeled after universities like Cambridge and Oxford and will have a medieval feel, complete with secret tradi- tions, a community covenant and a live-in faculty headmaster. Freshmen who want to live in the college will have to make two-year commitments to stay in the community and all its members will take part in weekly closed dinners that exclude nonresidents and honor esteemed students and college guests by seating them at a high table similar to the one in Harry Potter. Faculty Senate Chairwoman Dianna Vitanza said some faculty believe Brooks College seems a little pretentious and elitist. Kristina Bateman/Lariat staff “There are lots of places where students live on campus and they are not called colleges,” Vitanza said. Burn, baby, burn “They don’t have trustees.

At 3-4 on the season, the Baylor football team finds itself at a crossroad. While the Bears’ 2-1 conference record is the best they’ve had at this point in a season in the 11 years they’ve been in the Big 12, they must still win three of their last five games to reach their goal: making a bowl game for the first time since 1994. To qualify for a bowl game, the Bears need to win a total of five Big 12 games, three more than they’ve ever won in a single season. Head Coach Guy Morriss said nothing would surprise him at this point. “Honest to goodness, I think we’re in a situa- tion where we could win out, or we could get beat in all five of them,” he said. “(The players) have to trust what the coaches are telling (them) to do and do it.” After racking up 31 points and 303 passing File Photo yards against No. 5 University of Texas, the Bears Trent Shelton is taken down during Baylor 17-7 loss to TCU will enter Saturday’s game against the University Sept. 3.

Welcome back, Baylor Alumni! If things look a little different around campus this year, it's probably because a lot of changes have been taking place. Change is good but sometimes we like things to stay the way they were. That's why we at Brother's Management have strived to maintain the best of both worlds. While you're here for homecoming, please stop by The Place, Baylor's finest student residence. The Place is a gated community featuring a one student per bedroom policy with assigned parking for each student. Some things change and some things stay the same. That's why coming home has never been better.

Cole said. As with the rest of the United States, the Baylor campus was hit with reality when the Japa- nese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Several students were draft- ed, and Baylor became the first university in the nation to have a program that taught females radio mechanics and how to make sheet metal in machine shops. In February 1943, Baylor was selected as one of 200 schools in the nation to oper- ate a Specialized War Training School for the Army and Navy. Due to a lack of men on campus, football was suspended during the fall of 1943. In 1944, two- thirds of students taking classes were female. After the Japanese surren- dered on V-J Day, Aug. 14, 1945, the Allied powers were declared victorious, and enrollment at Baylor rapidly rose. The Youth of Christ revival was held in the spring of 1945, and more than 3,000 people attended tent services taught by Baylor students. “The youth revival was highly successful because it was a fer- tile time,” Cole said. “All the guys were coming home from service and combat is hell. There was more emphasis to spiritual matters.” In September 1946, 3,712 stu- dents were registered at Baylor and 1,825 males were attending on the GI Bill, which provided education for returning World War II veterans. “The GI Bill was most help- ful and deserved,” Cole said. “It gave federal money to a good cause and turned the situation around at most universities because veterans were interest- ed in studying.” Helen Cole said it was “won- derful” when the male students came back from the war. To pass the time, Helen Cole and her friends would perfect their lassoing skills in front of the dorms. “When I met my husband, I was twirling a lariat,” she said. Helen Cole and her friends were set her up with war vet- erans and went on blind dates to the movies and out for ice cream. Jim and Helen Cole were in Dr. Andrew Joseph Armstrong’s English class and distinctly remember him saying, “With all the marriage at Christmas time, it sounds like the slaughter of the innocent.” Jim Cole described his return to Baylor after serving in the war Friday, October 20, 2006 SPORTS The Baylor Lariat 5B
