___ Baylor campus mourns loss. Students, faculty and staff at Baylor University last week mourned the loss of four students in a freak roadside accident Oct. 10. Erika Michele Lanham, Emily Hollister, Tricia Lynn Calp and Dolan Walter "Tripp" Wostal were killed when a driver fell asleep at the wheel and ran over them as they walked along a country roadside to a party. "Even though Baylor is a campus of over 13,000 students, the entire university community grieves when we experience a loss of life," said President Robert Sloan. "Each and every student is precious to us, and to lose four at one time is an unspeakable tragedy." This was the worst single incident for loss of student lives at Baylor since 1927, when 10 members of the men's basketball team were killed in a bus wreck.
