Police used a Taser gun to restrain a resident outside of his home on Crain Avenue as it burned at about 4:30 a.m. Sunday.
The resident, Mike Bartlett, said he was returning from downtown for his cell phone when he noticed his sister's room on fire. He ran in to make sure she was not there and continued to find his friends in the basement and alert them of the fire.
Deborah Barnbaum has taken a look at autism in a new way. Barnbaum, an associate professor of philosophy, studies the ethical questions facing research in autism today. Her book on the subject, "The Ethics of Autism: Among Them, but Not of Them" won a bronze IPPY award from the Independent Publisher Book Awards in the category of Health, Medicine and Nutrition this summer.
I remember when I lived in Western Ukraine (I am not Russian, as some of you may have thought), I was extremely close to my family. My cousins were substitutes for my non-existent brothers and sisters; my grandparents and my aunts quite often played the role of my parents.
The Student Center ballroom resembled a scene out of a 1920s club last night. Sequins sparkled, fringe swayed and bright-colored satin gleamed as girls walked into the Black United Students' 40th Renaissance Ball. The guys were suited up in pinstripes complete with fedoras and a feather in true 1920s style.
One of the things I look forward to the most on the weekends is getting to read this free local newspaper. Among other things, they have an active forum page that is constantly the place for heated debates.
During Mid-American Conference play, the Kent State football team has had a slogan-play every game like a championship game. Even winning the Wagon Wheel is secondary to gaining ground in the MAC East.

We do not assume that we are always right. More than anything we wish to stir debate. That is why college campuses and news outlets are called marketplaces of ideas. Last spring we pointed out that just because someone expresses a "bad idea" does not mean it should be blocked from that marketplace.
I read guest columnist Bob Opper's column "Requiem for the Risman Plaza fountain" (Oct. 7) with great interest. He studied the fountain and recognized it as a distinct landmark. I am in firm agreement. I first visited the campus in 1993, and from that single visit the fountain was the single most memorable landmark.

Ironically, the first testing of the YSU Alert System came on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the arrest of a student carrying a weapon on campus.
On Monday, Youngstown State University Police arrested a student near Moser Hall with a loaded handgun in his backpack after being interrogated and searched because he fit the profile of the suspect in the attempted robbery at Subway on Elm Street and Rayen Avenue.

On the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 21, I scrambled to finish a midterm essay in the library.
I was positioned next to a talkative man and his friend while they worked on a group project.
