And never had sticking it to the proverbial man been so much fun. "Hair" celebrated an era of free love, where people protested the Vietnam War, dodged the draft and burned American flags. The musical celebrated the birth of the counter-culture, the hippies and hair -- long, beautiful hair, shoulder length or longer, long as God could grow it.

Ellen Young, the manager of Consulting Services at Computer Services, used to e-mail one student per day on behalf of the Recording Industry Association of America, asking them to remove illegally downloaded material from their computers. More recently, however, Young's average has climbed to sending five to 10 of these e-mails daily, an influx she attributes to the intensification of the RIAA's pursuit of copyright infringements.

Regarding the recent Wenda Gu installation in Baker-Berry Library, I applaud both the Hood Museum of Art and the College for their bold initiative. These large sheets of hair successfully startled the bucolic yet static Hanover landscape, and I look forward to the Museum's next commission of public art on campus. While I respect the witty and clever statements of the students quoted in "Adios, Gu: Never has Baker-Berry sparkled like this" (Oct. 31), I am nevertheless troubled by the constant sentiment, also expressed in a handful of other articles, that the Gu installation is somehow "bad" art.
