The Independence Coffee Co., located in Independence, Texas (yes, the one where Baylor was founded) has launched a new line of Baylor coffees, and when you buy them you’re helping the university. To find out how, read on. What's Bruin?
Revised and Renewed by Elizabeth Herring
When the June issue of Between the Lines featured a story about the renovation of Kokernot Hall (New Digs), many alumni wrote to us wanting to see the results. Well, here they are. The new Kokernot houses faculty, students enrolled in Engaged Learning Groups, Air Force ROTC students, and--gasp!--both men and women. Revised and Renewed.

 It seems like every celebrity in the country is hooked into the “Rock the Vote” effort, and now Baylor is on board too. Participating in the nationwide effort to motivate young people to vote, Baylor is hosting several “Rock the Vote” events this fall. Voter Turnout.

Dr.
Donald Bailey was recently presented the Texas Choirmaster Award, the
most prestigious award given by the Texas Choral Directors Association
(TCDA). Bailey recently retired from Baylor, where he was the director
of choral activities and the Mary Gibbs Jones Professor of Music. He
conducted the A Cappella Choir, Chamber Singers, and Choral Union and
taught conducting. In its fifty-three year history, the TCDA has only
given this award to ten conductors, and three of those served as
director of choral activities in the Baylor University School of Music.
In addition to Bailey, the late Hugh Sanders and the late Euell Porter
also received the award.

Homecoming Highlights
This year’s Homecoming celebration will be October 31 to November 2 on the Baylor campus, and it’s a time you don’t want to miss if you can help it. Everyone enjoys the bonfire, parade, and football game, but for some graduates this year’s Homecoming will have special meaning because they are hitting a big reunion year. On the Homecoming website, you can relive some memories with the Class of 1983, which will be celebrating its twenty-fifth reunion at a dinner on Friday night. Class of 1983.
