There’s growth and then there’s growthfrom what level to what level. Relative to whatelse we’ve seen, that’s not particularly bad.”For example, Wake Forest University hadthe highest percentage increase at 369.7 percent. Other schools in the top 10 includedStanford University and Johns Hopkins University. Baylor was the highest-ranked Texasuniversity in this category of the study. Nineother Texas universities were ranked in thestudy, including Texas A&M and the University of Texas at Austin.However, Dr. Matthew Ladner, vice president for research at the Goldwater Institute,who commissioned the study, said Baylor’sranking at No. 10 is probably a bad thing.“The best people to ask about that are people who are paying the tuition bills,” Ladnersaid. “It’s probably not good.

2 Baylor LariatHoosier growsaccustomed toLone Star StatetheOpinionThree years ago, when I decided to take my talents to Central Texas, I had no idea what Iwas getting into. I’m a Hoosier.I’ve lived in the same house onthe west side of Indianapolis mywhole life.I visited Baylor for one wholeday during the spring break of mysenior year in high school. It wasone stop on a weeklong, crosscountry trip of college visits.James Byers News editorI was intrigued by, amongother things, the independencethat came with living 1,000 milesfrom my parents and the prospectof year-round warm weather. So Imade a fairly spontaneous decision and chose Baylor.Looking back, it wasn’t thebest thought-out plan, but I cansafely say that my time in Wacohas taught me a lot of things aboutmyself and even more about Texas. Not that living here has alwaysbeen easy. Whenever people backhome hear I live in Waco, they askabout one thing, and it’s not Baylor: Everyone wants to talk aboutDavid Koresh and the Branch Davidians.“Yes,” I say, “That happened inWaco; and no, I haven’t been tothe compound.”Seventeen years later, thattragedy is unfortunately still howWaco is known nationally. I havenever said “y’all” and I neverwill. You guys can’t make me. Iwent from a state that inspiredthe movie “Hoosiers” to the statethat birthed “Friday Night Lights.”Heck, my high school didn’t evenhave a football team.Speaking of football, onething has always bothered me:“America’s Team.” I realize I’mruffling some feathers, but callingthe Cowboys “America’s Team”never made sense to me. First ofall, I can’t think of anyone moreAmerican than Peyton Manning.He’s represented every major corporation in the country. But I’mnot arrogant enough to think thatmy or any other football team represents America. Look, the Cowboys don’t have 27 championshiptitles like the Yankees. Until lastseason, they hadn’t even won aplayoff game in 13 years. I don’tcare how much money Jerry Jonesspends. If the Cowboys are America’s team, then they’re makingAmerica look more like France.And the whole title of “America’s Team” seems to indicate thatthere’s international interest inAmerican football, when in realityevery other country in the worldcouldn’t care less about the sport,so there’s no need to designatea team to represent the country.And even if there was an “American” football team, it would makemore sense to choose the teamwith the most titles (Steelers)or perhaps the team that’s actually owned by citizens (Packers).But, squabbles with the Cowboysaside, after three years I think I’mstarting to get Texas. I’m beginning to grasp why someone wouldtattoo an outline of Texas ontotheir body (thank you, Penlandshowers).Before I came to Texas, I hadno idea what a kolache was. NowI’m making weekly pilgrimagesto the Little Czech Bakery tosatisfy my hunger. Texas is big.After driving to El Paso, I thinkI’m beginning to appreciate howbeautiful a vast expanse of nothingness can be. Texas has threecities (Houston, San Antonio andDallas) that are larger than Indianapolis, and another (Austin)that’s infinitely cooler. I love howall the Baylor students from thosedifferent cities have playful, all ingood fun rivalries. (Is it just me, ordoes everyone not from Houstonhate Houston?)Saying you’re from Texasmeans something. How manystates can claim it was once a republic? If I’m being honest I haveto admit that being from Texasmeans more than being from Indiana, New Hampshire or Ohio.It just does. Texas has a distinctculture from the rest of the country, and Texans should be proudof that.We don’t have to agree ongrammar, politics or sports teams.I’ll always be a Hoosier, but for nowI’m proud to live among Texans.James Byers is senior business journalism major for Indianapolis,Ind., and the Lariat news editor.WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 2010www.baylorlariat.comLegislation would givenecessary muscle to FDALast week, more than 500 million eggswere recalled from Iowa because of a severescare that the eggs may have carried salmonella. As a result, an outbreak of more than1,500 cases of salmonella poisoning has beenreported.This outbreak may have been preventedif the Senate had passed a food safety billpassed by the House in July 2009.A Senate bipartisan group released acompromise amendment to the bill on Aug.12 — the day before Wright County Egg, oneof the two egg farms involve in the recentsalmonella scare, announced its first recall.The bill would impose stricter rules oninspections, increase the frequency of inspections and grant the Food and Drug Administration the power to authorize recallsand allow access to company records.What regulators need are “more tools,and probably better tools, to prevent theseevents from happening,” said Craig Hedburg, a professor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, who thinks thelegislation would provide just that, FortuneMagazine reports.The current law, which has been in forcefor more than 70 years, does not allow theFDA to authorize recalls.This means that the FDA can only askthose responsible to remove the products,but the responsible party does not have toEditorialobey the request.Thus, the recall does not always comein a timely manner because the company isafraid of losing profits as a result of the recall.That delay results in more people beingaffected by the problem associated with therecall.If the proposed legislation passes, theFDA would be able to quickly issue a recall,forcing the responsible party to withdrawthe product without first worrying abouthow the recall would affect the company.This ability to enforce a recall shouldnot be taken lightly and requirements of theFDA to prove the need for a recall prior toenforcing one should be an expectation ofCongress.An FDA report initiated after the contamination found that Wright County Eggand Hillandale Farms were filthy and hadpoor sanitation in the areas where the henswere kept.The report even detailed instances ofrodents, wild birds and hens escaping fromtheir cages, which could have contributed tothe salmonella.At Hillandale Farms, laboratory testsconfirmed there was salmonella in waterused to wash eggs before they were packaged.A report on Wright County Egg described pits that had chicken manure piled4 to 8 feet high.According to The Washington Post, theFDA had never previously inspected the twofarms.If an agency, like the FDA, had conducted a thorough inspection of the farmsbefore the salmonella outbreak, inspectorscould have seen the potential problems atthe farms and might have been able to avoidthe situation.One of the more obvious solutions to thisproblem is to enhance and increase the oversight powers of the FDA.If the proposed legislation passes, theFDA would impose stricter rules on inspections so that problems could be caught wellbefore more than 1,500 people in the country suffer.Furthermore, if a problem were discovered, the FDA would be able to access company records and issue a quick recall, if necessary.The proposed legislation should bepassed when the Senate returns this month.With the new legislation, the FDA wouldhave more power to avoid another salmonella poisoning episode.Rallying cry: All should fight for detained hikers in IranRecreational hiking has someinherent dangers. But for ShaneBauer, Sarah Shourd and JoshFattal, a sprained ankle on thetrail is furthest from their worries. Iranian forces arrested thethree University of California atBerkeley graduates on July 31,2009, for supposedly crossingthe border while hiking in themountains of Iraqi Kurdistan.They are currently being held inEvin Prison in Tehran. No chargehas been brought against themin an actual court of law, thoughofficials in Iran are accusing thethree of being spies.They have been denied accessto a lawyer and their mothershave seen them once.Iran is not playing by the rules— not shocking. After morethan a year the three Americansare still being detained; they arestill sitting in jail cells and los-Nick Dean Editor in chiefing hope every day in a countrytangled in a web of sticky international relations.Many suspect the three hikersare being used as political chesspieces — an action that shouldnot be tolerated.The value of a human’s life —not just an American’s life — isone that deserves fair treatmentand due process. All of which hasbeen denied for Sarah, Shane andJosh.According to Iran’s intelligence minister, the country’sinvestigation is “close to beingcompleted and when completedthe results will be announced.”It’s hard to trust the country that has wrongfully detainedthem for more than a year.America has called for theirrelease. President Barack Obamasaid the three friends are “simplyopen-minded and adventurousyoung people who represent thebest of America, and of the human spirit.” Obama called for therelease of the three hikers on July31, 2010, and said the three werein “unjust detention.”Former South African Arch-bishop Desmond Tutu echoedObama’s sentiments.“They are suffering from desperation and hopelessness andhave considered the extreme stepof a hunger strike,” Tutu told theAssociated Press.“A nation of Iran’s statureshould not act in a cruel and inhumane manner, or punish innocent individuals for the disagreements that exist with the UnitedStates,” he said.Now it is time for the entireglobal community, includingBaylor Nation, to join togetherand demand the three be released.I can’t tell you what makes memad about this particular situation more than any other, exceptthat the more and more I ponder394 days of confinement in a cellfor hiking near a border I cannearly feel my blood boil.The three have done nothingwrong.As a volatile nation, Iran isnot the easiest to work with, butat some point actions must betaken in favor of the innocent; infavor of those that may be wrongfully detained in the future.To me, America is the landof the free not only because weoperate under laws that, whenimplemented fairly, foster equality. America is a leader of libertybecause we stake claims and fightfor liberty on a global scale; webelieve in an ever-increasingamount of freedom in this world.The three hikers’ lives can’t belabeled with a price. We shoulddo whatever it takes.They are three detained children; three friends and three humans.Fighting for global justicemeans fighting for every person.The lives of these three hikersare important. America’s leadershave said so—now its your turn.To support Sarah, Shane andJosh’s cause follow @freethehikers on Twitter and Facebook. Updates are also given on freethehikers.org.Iran is far away but supporttravels. The three families needyour prayers; they need your support.As a constituency of Americans we have the power to boostissues onto a national stage.

4 Baylor LariattheNewsWEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 2010www.baylorlariat.comStudents install water system in RwandaBy Jade MardirosianStaff WriterFor the second consecutiveyear, Dr. Bill Jordan, professor andchair of the mechanical engineering department, led a mission tripto Musanze, Rwanda.The mission included sevenengineering student volunteerswho worked to build a water purification system for the high schoolsection of Sonrise School. TheChristian K-12 school, populatedwith a majority of students whoare genocide or AIDS orphans, wasfounded in 2001 by Bishop JohnRucyahana, the Anglican Bishopof Shirya, Rwanda, and the nonprofit group Bridge2Rwanda thathe cofounded.The water purification systemwas designed last spring in the engineering senior design class. Aspart of the project, the group alsoinstalled a solar panel system usedto power the water purifier. Before, Sonrise School had to boil allwater before it could be used. Thesystem was installed for use in thecafeteria for cooking, as well as fordrinking. The system that was installed works by shining ultravioletlight through the water in order tokill bacteria.Working with Bridge2Rwandameant this trip was about morethan just engineering. The mission of Bridge2Rwanda, as statedon its website, is “to build a bridgefrom our world to Rwanda andtransform lives at both ends.”This was ultimately the samegoal Jordan had for his students.The students, handpicked byJordan, were chosen because theyare committed to using their skillsto help others and were interestedin helping Christians who had apoorer quality of life.“We want to make a positivedifference in the lives of the peopleof Rwanda, but I want my studentsto be different as well,” Jordan said.“I think our students were profoundly affected by this trip, interms of seeing how they can usetheir skills to help people.”The team worked closely withthe faculty of Sonrise School toensure the completed project wasimportant to the students of theschool. This allowed for a lot of informal interaction between Baylorand Sonrise School students. Manytimes students of Sonrise Schoolgathered to watch and ask questions about what was being doneand how the system worked.This summer, Sealy MBA student David Fait was selected asteam leader for the mission because of his experience workingat Sonrise School with Jordan in2009. He was also the project manager for the senior design projectthat created the purification system.Fait appreciated his time inRwanda more this time, due inCourtesty photoGarland sophomore Jonathan Berry explains how the water purification system works to a group of high schoolstudents at Sonrise School in Musanze, Rwanda.part to his previous knowledge ofthe country and school, and alsoto the increased amount of timehe was able to spend with the students.The team was also able to spendtime playing soccer, volleyball andbasketball with the students whilewaiting for parts for the system tobe delivered. This interaction waswhere the mission aspect of thetrip came into play.“Interacting with the studentsand hearing their dreams and as-pirations is really what gives youhope for the nation,” Fait said.The people of Rwanda are stillrecovering from the genocide of1994.The team was able to visit theGenocide Memorial in Kigali ontheir first full day in the country.“This was a very hard time forour students, but it helped them tounderstand the need for the Christian development that is occurringat the Sonrise School,” Jordan saidin a report sent to donors and supporters of the trip.“The people there are incredible; the turnaround from whathappened in 1994 to now is justincredible,” Fait said. He describedhis trips to Rwanda as life-changing and said he could definitely seehimself working for a nonprofitthat does engineering missionwork abroad after graduation.Baylor Missions sent 12 teamsto eight locations this past summerand will potentially have 20 teamsin 12 locations next summer.Trips are led by Baylor facultyand staff and applications are opento all Baylor students with a desireto serve others.“The impact is made on thestudents who are transformed bythese experiences,” Rebecca Kennedy, associate chaplain and director for Missions, said. “They goand see the hope and possibilitiesand are changed because of it.”Applications for students toparticipate in mission trips areavailable on the Baylor SpiritualLife website and informationalmeetings will take place throughout the semester.Lab brings current technology to math departmentBy Meghan HendricksonStaff WriterBaylor recently opened a newmath classroom equipped with 30personal student computers anddesks, a high-tech teacher’s station, a projector and a plethora ofgadgets.“With this new classroom Ican be exposed to the way thattheoretical concepts are appliedto solve real-life problems in theclassroom,” Kingwood senior Myles Baker said.The mathematics department’snew technology classroom is located in 203 Sid Richardson.According to Dr. Lance Littlejohn, the math department used tohave a lab when math and statisticswere together in one department.“Before I came to Baylor in January of 2007, statistics and mathsplit. The agreement was that statistics would take the computer labwith them. But math needs a lab aswell. We’re technology-based; weteach numerical analysis, calculusand math education classes,” saidLittlejohn, professor and department chair of mathematics.By building the new mathematics technology classroom, Baylorstudents are now being given thechance to take courses that havenever been offered before.“As an applied mathematicsmajor, I want to use computationaltools if I decide to go into an industry field,” Baker said. “Now Ihave the opportunity to be taughtcourses that use this technology,such as my Matrix Theory and Advanced Linear Algebra class withDr. Ronald Morgan this fall, whichhas previously been a completelytheoretical class. Now, with the addition of the classroom, Dr. Morgan will be able to show us, usingMAT lab, these things in a real-lifecontext.”MAT lab is just one of themathematical programs alreadyinstalled in each computer in theclassroom.Many people played a part inthe idea and development of thisnew classroom.“I appreciate the help that thedevelopment office has given me,”Littlejohn said. “They’ve been instrumental in doing this. I alsoappreciate Eric Abercrombie [director of development, College ofArts and Sciences], he is the onewho really put it together. Thedean of College of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Lee Nordt, had a lot todo with this too.”All of this was possible thanksto a donation from Baylor alumni,Mr. and Mrs. Jim Meyerhoff.Both Jim and his wife, Lisa, received a Bachelor of Science fromBaylor in 1978. Now Jim is a partner and exploration manager ofKrescent Energy in Houston, andLisa is a partner at Baker & McKenzie law firm.“I mean, here’s a guy whospends 80 hours a week workinghard at Krescent Energy, alongwith his wife who also works 80hours a week at the law firm,”Littlejohn said. “They don’t havechildren, but instead of spending their money on something forthemselves, they’re using their resources to improve the educationalexperience of Baylor students.”Meyerhoff said he felt the Lord’scalling to do something about thefact that the math departmentdidn’t have a computer lab.“The Lord blessed [my wife andme] with more resources than weever thought possible,” Meyerhoffsaid. “I came to Baylor as a nonChristian and became a Christianbecause of going to Baylor – itchanged my life and my attitudeabout everything. So I wanted todonate to Baylor to help make adifference in young people’s livestoday.”Don’ t Let This Be You!Daniel AbRyan Allis ernathyElisha Al onvaSarah Ar radochBrandon erBaCaitlin Ba kerkerStephenBaKayla Ba llardrreCaroline ttBaKatie Baum rtaAmy Beals gardnerMadelineBoldtAndrewBrLuke Brya uceNatalie BuntRachana reschChhinAmber CoVanessa moCustableJed DeanAmandaDeJenna De wittwiTrisha Di ttazClayton DoDavid Du rsalcieNo PictureAvailableAshley DuBrandy Fry rhamNicole Ga eAbby Ga ffordllegosDiElidnzabe’t Tath GeorPhgeotoWilliam keGeraldsAnna GillingsStephenGrRebecca eenGrRenee Gr imesohmannDanielle GrEmily Ha ootemaatmmonBen HendYvette He ersonRachael rnandezHiMary Ho bbsllaElizabeth ndAmy JenseHortonnAcademics271Get Your 2010-2011 Round UP Yearbook Portrait TakenSeniorsOctober 25-29, 2010Freshmen, Sophomores and JuniorSTimes will be given on later dateNovember 1-5, 2010
