E-mail accounts to be set up by October

by Jennifer Nespoli features editor

There seems to be one question burning on everyone's mind this week: "When do I get my e-mail account?"

There are two answers. You can wait until October when the college can provide you with access to the Internet. Or you can use a friend'~ computer to access the Web and set it up yourself right now using a system called Emurl.

Emurl is similar to Hotmail. It is a free service provided by the college through Cabrini's website. It can be accessed from any computer on or off campus, as long as that computer has access to the World Wide Web.

To create your own account, log onto the World Wide Web and go to the web site <http://xavier.cabrini.edu>. See the bar at the side for more instructions.

You can access your e-mail at the same address after it has been created. Remember your log in number and password because you can not be given a new password.

If you had an e-mail account last year, it has closed down since then. Your password to access the Internet should still work. If you have forgotten your password, see one of the assistants in the computer labs in Founder's Hall.

If you are a new student or you did not have an e:mail account last year, one will be created for you. You must go into room 113 in Founder's Hall and fill out an account form to activate your account. It may take a few weeks to get your account activated.

"We created accounts for all registered students," said Kristine Mudrick, vice president for information technology and resources.

Normally the labs in Founder's Hall canbe used by students to surf the Internet and access their email, but for now they are tern- porarily holding classes. There are six labs in Founder's Hall, but several of those are used mainly for classes. The labs include rooms 103, the education and language lab; 108, a classroom; ll0, the CIS lab; 113, the open lab; 312, the social sciences lab; and 315, which will be the business and CIS lab when it is finished undergoing construction. Currently there are problems with the 26 computer classes offered this semester and where they can be held. 'There have been more computer classes than we can accommodate right now," said Mudrick.

Some computer classes have been temporarily moved to other labs due to construction in lab 315 in Founder's Hall. The former classroom is being turned into a computer lab and will hold 20 work stations when it is completed.

The open lab, room 113, will not normally hold classes. After the
