Several council members also expressed reservations as to why the College hadn’t simply adopted a Gmail-powered system given the popularity of the Google webmail program among the undergraduates. “[FAS IT] is going to have trouble getting 1,600 people opt-in to the program,” Rose said, adding that he would “doubt that they’re anywhere near that number yet.” But Sundquist said that he’s looking forward to using a “new and exciting?...
