New e-mail system to be implemented in the fall BY VAL BERTOLAMI The StagWeb email system will be getting a facelift next fall when it switches over to the popular Google e-mail system known as Gmail. At the beginning of the spring semester, a group of faculty and students began planning a new e-mail system that would prove to be more efficient that the current StagWeb system. Brian Remigio, assistant direc-tor of Computer and Networking Services, was the chairperson of the Student E-mail Committee. "Due to the constraints of the aging hardware, it was necessary to make a change now, rather than sink resources into upgrading the cur-rent StagWeb e-mail system," said Remigio. "Storage space, including attachment size on StagWeb mail is considerably limited in comparison to Gmail." The amount of storage available with Gmail will allow students to keep almost every e-mail they receive during their four years at Fairfield.

"We are prepared to meet challenges," said Univer-sity President Father Jeffrey P. von Arx. "Though at the same time we are committed to our strategic plan." The University Budget Committee, comprised of the president, faculty, administration and a student body representative, met with students last Monday to present details of the new "strategic plan." Vice President of Finance William J. Lucas '69, member of the Committee, described the budget as "the toughest one we've ever had to put together." "This year we are reallocating almost all of our budget needs," he said.
