It’s as if someone put Fall Out Boy in a microwave, pushed the “cookie-cutter” button and out came its new album, Infinity on Courtesy photo/Heather Ann High. Ethan Durelle, a band made up of four Baylor alumni, has performed at hundreds of concerts and events in cities across Texas and the U.S. The band’s next Waco concert is on March 30 at Mission Waco’s Jubilee Theatre.

Baylor home to alphabet soup of real issues

Life isn’t perfect. There’s always something that makes us want to pull out our hair and run around the room screaming at the top of our lungs. Even though we’re in the Baylor Bubble, there are issues all around. All of these issues may not be political, but that doesn’t make them any less important. In case you need help getting started, here’s an alphabet of issues that either drive students, faculty or the administration crazy. Don’t just read them, but do something to help or raise awareness. Write a letter, make a call, visit a Web site or just let your voice be heard. — Jill Auxier, features editor
