sophomore she served as a general
writer and this year as a copy editor.
Swift said she has chosen and

fresh ideas for coverage of the fall
season.
This summer, Swift and five
members of her staff will travel to St.
Louis, Mo., for the “Idea Forum”

staff hope to find a new theme for
the yearbook of the new millenni

store for the future,” she said.
“We also plan to have a lot of in

Students keep e-mail for summer
This summer, Texas A&M University students will
be able to continue to use their e-mail even if they
are not registered for summer school. Students
who do not plan to actively read their e-mail should
make sure to cancel recurring news services, news
letters, listserv mailing lists and other services,
since accumulated email may cause quotas to be
exceeded. Quotas for inbound and stored e-mail
will remain unchanged and email will be returned if
quotas are exceeded. Files on students' computer
accounts will remain through the summer and be
available for registered students in the fall. For
more inf ormation, visit www.tamu.edu/scip or call
