Dr. John Lilley’s candidacy for BU’s President was a well-kept secret that ultimately led to his unanimous election. Previous finalists for the job had been subjected to fairly intense public debate prior to the Board’s final consideration, therefore the need for greater confidentiality with Dr. Lilley. Congratulations to Regent Bill Brian and his Search Committee for a successful search and to Regents Committee Chair Jay Allison and his troops for the long over due revamp of the Board. Welcome Dr. John Lilley and his dynamic bride Gerrie!
BU RANKED #6 IN NATION FOR AMERICAN VALUES!
DEFENDING NATIONAL CHAMPION LADY BEARS BEAT #8 GEORGIA TO OPEN NEW SEASON
BAYLOR 2012 APPEAL OUT OF CONTROL!
BEARS WRAP UP MUCH IMPROVED FOOTBALL SEASON THIS SATURDAY VS. OSU
Let’s all show our appreciation this Saturday when the Bears line up against the OSU Cowboys at 1:00 pm at Floyd Casey Stadium. A good crowd will insure that we will average over 40,000 per game for the season. Don’t forget to check out Coach Grant Teaff’s “I Believe” walkway at the stadium – it’s fabulous! Friends of Baylor slogan “We Believe” is in honor of Baylor’s greatest ambassador and Friends of Baylor spokesman, Coach Teaff. 
UNDERWOOD HAS “GEORGIA ON HIS MIND”? Baptist journals suggest that Interim President Bill Underwood will be offered the Presidency of Mercer University in Georgia. Bill has worked tirelessly as Baylor’s Interim the last five months and is an important asset as a master teacher at Baylor’s Law School. By any measurement Bill’s departure would be Baylor’s loss and most certainly Mercer’s gain. Our prayers are for a wise decision for Bill and Lesli Underwood.

Although we love to achieve national rankings for sports
and academics it’s even better for Baylor to be recognized for its distinctive
values. The Intercollegiate Studies Institute has ranked Baylor #6 in
the Nation for American values. No doubt another manifestation of the
appeal of Baylor 2012. Only one other Texas University, the University
of Dallas, made the list at #9. Thanks to LeRay & Rosemary Fowler
of Houston for noting this achievement.
The
joy continues! Coach Kim gave the ’05-’06 version of
the Lady Bears a “revival” sermon inspiring the Ladies to
overcome a 18 point second half deficit and charge to an impressive 84
to 72 victory before a national TV audience. Baylor continues to earn
great publicity dividends from this wonderful program’s success.

Just when we were getting adjusted to this fall’s record freshman
class size as well as its academic credentials, along comes the fall ’06
pool of applicants and early indicators suggest an even greater demand
for Baylor spots next year. Applications, acceptances, and even deposits
are running way ahead of last years record pace. If the demand pressure
is sustained through the spring watch for Baylor to enroll its first
freshman class with an average SAT score in excess of 1200. Who said
that great Christian and academic credentials, coupled with world-class
research and teaching could not be supported by Baylor’s tuition
model? We have the hottest new higher education product in the market.
