Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 8:05 p.m.

Regarding Chase Cooper’s column “Education or Indoctrination,” from Oct. 3, I am forced to wonder why you, the editors, would allow a column-long unpaid advertisement for a film in the IDS.

IU should make the most of Playboy

By Paul Hamilton · Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 8:03 p.m.
