(Response from Webmaster) "
Since this does work for most people, I recommended to the Monday Memo editor that he continue to include the URL in his messages as most people can use it, but please know the "Top Stories and Information" link on the front page will always be there for your reference. Please also understand that the editor sends the weekly e-mail only as a courtesy reminder to the campus. Thank you for your feedback; your suggestions are always welcome. Have a great week ...Best Regards."
