Keycard Access Will Finally Become Universal By April After Long-Awaited Technology Updates

None Too Soon

Students and council representatives also used the meeting to address what they say is a dangerous and inconvenient problem that has become aggravated by UKA--exiting from interior areas of Houses that do not have 24-hour universal access.

Kalina B. Manova '02, said her friend, another Harvard undergraduate, was trapped in the Adams House courtyard late at night for about an hour.

At around 2 a.m. one night, Manova said her friend left her room to go home, but took a wrong turn and ended up in the Adams courtyard.

Without UKA in effect, Manova said her friend was unable to swipe back into any of the entryways that lead back into the building--the only way out of the courtyard, save climbing over a metal fence.

Manova said that although her friend tried to call her for help, the Centrex phone in the courtyard was out of order.

She said the friend was finally rescued about an hour later when an Adams resident happened to walk through the courtyard.

Other students have reported similar incidents to the council, said Shumsky--and not just in Adams.
