The anxious wait is over for Daniel Eliot's friends and family. Eliot, an IU student who went missing at the end of August, was found in Manhattan Saturday, said Ronald Eliot, his father.

Freedom of speech: the people

By Grace Low · Sunday, Sept. 17,2006 10:52 p.m.

In the wake of last week's docudrama "The Road to 9/11," criticism from the left has rained down like patriot missiles on an al-Qaida barbecue. On the Web sites of liberal media criticism outlets such as Media Matters for America and Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, the docudrama is attacked as conservative propaganda that put the Clinton Administration in a disproportionately bad light in comparison to how the Bush Administration was portrayed.

Ladies first?

By Michelle Manchir · Sunday, Sept. 17,2006 10:50 p.m.

Ladies get in free! Logically it seems wrong for me, a "lady" by society's definition, to question such an offer -- usually promoted by sports bars or any other location that aims to capitalize on women's sexuality. It's easy on my wallet, after all.

Fighting words

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian Stewart · Sunday, Sept. 17,2006 10:48 p.m.

Last week I sat down to write my view of Sept. 11 as a call to defend liberty with something more than the half-baked phrases so prevalent in the commemorative discourse. Although very few people were in agreement with the basic but useful assertion that consolation was to be found in the assault on American civil society, I'm not sure what I wrote requires any revising. But I would like to take some time to complete and round off the argument I only begun.

About-Face

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, Sept. 17,2006 10:46 p.m.

Facebook was thrust into the spotlight once again this week after statements revealed the company's intent to take the site public. Soon, Facebook is expected to announce that membership, originally limited to college students (though later expanded to include high school students and employees of some companies) will now be available to the general public. Soon only a valid e-mail address will be required when registering for an account, with new users being grouped by region.

Powder burn

By Sarah Shipe · Sunday, Sept. 17,2006 5:26 p.m.

After spending countless hours at the Student Recreational Sports Center, I believed that I had seen it all -- from women who are talented enough to complete a bicep curl with one arm while using the other to talk on their cell phone, to a man who frequently wore a black-and-white-striped unitard with his chest hair flapping in the air-conditioned breeze. However, my experience last Saturday afternoon topped them all.

Harnessing Hope

By Kristi Oloffson · Friday, Sept. 15,2006 3:30 p.m.

Five-year-old Magdalena Loring, who goes by Maggie, was adopted from Guatemala at age 2. By the time she was 4, her new parents found that their little girl had fetal alcohol syndrome and apraxia, a neural speech disorder, causing poor coordination and problems with learning. Her mother, Vicki Loring, said when she learned of the devastating and irreversible effects of the syndrome, she looked for an alternative therapy method to help Maggie. Last October, the Lorings found Parent and Animal Learning Services, a program that gives therapeutic horseback riding lessons to people with disabilities. Private donations and grants help the nonprofit organization, which gives lessons mostly to children but has several adults who come as well. Three full-time staff and as many as 150 weekly volunteers, about 80 percent of whom are IU students, run the program, said Jan Gavin, the program's director of development.
