,470 O O I U cademic Challen e With the attraction of over 200 Na- tional Merit Scholars, a ranking among the top 20 institutions in the nation, and a law school that boasts the highest pass rate among graduates in Texas Law Schools, it's not hard to see why Baylor's academics are a part of the winning tradition. Freshman are met with an academic challenge from the moment they first ar- rive on campus. The small fish in a big pond syndrome hits, as freshmen realize they're among the elite academically. Valedictorians and most likely to succeeds are a common find. But students are not met with discouragement in their academic endeavors, but rather a strong sense of purpose and direction. sors and instructors focus on every student, their abilities and talents, not their flaws or weaknesses. Within weeks, the Baylor student is filled with a sense of pride and purpose - that spirit that motivates us to keep striving to meet the challenges ahead. in-as ZW W mm A MM: 4 Opening Above: Outdoor studying provides a way for getting away from the library and soaking up the sun.

I O 0 O ,4 70 Place for Ever one Beginning with Welcome Week, min- con leaders bombard students with a surplus of available activities that Baylor offers, Some try everything, some decide to stick to studying. Whatever a student chooses, he or she can be sure to find a place to plug in at Baylor. To a confus- ed student, it seems the visits from club representatives and flyers advertising meetings and parties will never end. At some schools, the purpose for involve- ment could be competition with other groups, at Baylor, the purpose for wan- ting a student to be involved during his or her academic career may be multiple. 6 Opening Right: The man who makes all activities happen, Mr. Ruben Santos, rides in the parade.

Bottom left: Campaigning is a popular pastime in the Fall for freshman, as they elect officers. Right: Steppin' Out sponsored a 5K fun run to kick off their active week. But t e real reason is to make the stu- dent feel needed and important, to chan- nel a student's interests and talents into an activity which will enrich the stu- dent's life, as well as the lives of others - it's just one more way of putting win- ners with winners.
