For many undergraduates, alienation is more than a matter of drugs, dirty clothes and long hair.

...reason that records prices are going up, the person who sells records at the Coop told me, is because at the end of last year when the Beatles came out with a double album that sold for $10 at non-discount places all across the country, it still sold 3 1/2 million copies in four days.
