I had to respond to Brian Chan's letter ("Sacrificing freedoms necessary for safety," Nov. 18). Obviously, he takes his criminal justice major a tad too seriously.

He obviously agrees with giving up freedom for the benefit of higher personal protection. We are talking about banning Kazaa to protect its illegal uses.

But whichever side you sit on is irrelevant. Let's not forget one thing; governing is best left for legislators, not for schools. Why would anyone support banning Kazaa because Penn State wants to? Schools should stick to rules about academics. Again, our country does not want to ban Kazaa, and they have considered the added levels of personal protection, which I use loosely. Amusingly, adding more policies to follow is like adding more parts to a car. Both bring about more problems in the future.
