WASHINGTON - As fall approaches, colleges and universities again face the legal issue of internet music downloads.

George Washington University hopes to avoid future troubles with a new tactic: allowing students to listen to their favorite tunes for free.

The Washington Post reports the university has a deal with Napster to give all 7,100 on-campus students access to hundreds of thousands of songs online.

The G.W. Napster program will allow students unlimited listening, but still charge for music downloads.
