The process to replace Webmail has been more of a marathon than 100-meter dash - but Penn officials say it's a race worth running. Wharton and School of Arts and Sciences officials announced in spring 2006 that the two schools would outsource their e-mail services.

The Spruce Hill Zoning Committee has postponed its discussion of a proposed move of the campus liquor store, committee chairman Barry Grossbach said. The committee was slated to debate the move - which would have brought the liquor store, currently located at 41st and Market streets, to the corner of 43rd and Walnut streets - at a hearing yesterday but decided to hold off to allow the affected parties to try to resolve their differences outside of a formal meeting, Grossbach said.

Penn's pretty good at fundraising - relatively speaking. The University raked in $409 million last year, enough to earn fourth place in a recent survey that ranked the top fundraisers in higher education. But Penn's sum was no match for Stanford University's, which totalled $911 million in 2006.

W. Lax: Penn holds down the pedal; Owls run out of gas

Every time the Penn women's lacrosse team moved the ball down field in the first half, it seemed the result was a goal. In the first period, the Quakers used a 9-6 advantage in draw controls and picked up seven ground balls to keep Temple back on defense during Penn's 15-5 victory over the Owls yesterday.

Speed is one of the key factors that women's lacrosse coach Karin Brower hopes will help the Quakers outplay Temple today. And Ali DeLuca, a new face on the field, has already added significantly to that. "Ali had a fantastic first game," Brower said of the weekend's 12-4 win over Drexel.


Baseball season pre: Cole cramping his players' style?

Senior Kenny Yoo had played varsity baseball for the first three years of his college career. But this year, he decided to play for the club team instead. And Yoo is not alone in his decision - former varsity teammate and pitcher Wes Donehower has also elected to play club baseball this season.


Baseball season pre: No excuses this time

Coach Cole's first season with Penn didn't yield great results. The team was 12-27 overall and 7-13 in the Ivies, though the record was less reflective of Cole than of the enormous transition the team was undergoing.

Few teams were better tailored for a novel than the 2005-06 Penn wrestling squad. Last year's contingent featured a new coach, Zeke Jones, and came within striking distance of an EIWA title. Oh yeah, it had a 2006 NCAA Champion, too. So G. Wayne Renneisen inadvertently stumbled on a gold mine when he decided to follow the team all year for his book.
