gages the locks, and anyone could enter the hall.”
If students lose their ID cards, Murray said
they should immediately report it to the network
availability center in the Teague Building, which
is open 24 hours. The lost ID card will then be
canceled, and a loaner card will be issued to the
resident until a new ID card is purchased.
David Cox, a network operations specialist for
the network availability center, said that students
should report a lost ID card immediately because
someone could get into their residence hall or use
their Aggie Bucks.
Lt. Bert Kretzschmar, supervisor of UPD’s
crime prevention unit, said the card access system
is secure and cost effective.
“If students lose a conventional key, the only se
cure option is to change the locks, which is expen
sive,” he said. “With card access, students lose
their card, they just cancel that card.”
Kretzschmar said unauthorized people can en
ter buildings using conventional keys. By using
card access, these people can be restricted from
entering.
“If an unauthorized person tried to gain access
entry, the computer wouldn’t let that person in,”
he said. “But anyone can use a key.”
Kretzschmar said the ID card access system
makes it possible to limit the time of day certain
people, such as those who stock vending machines,
have access to enter the building.
Murray said the system will prevent students
from being stranded because they had to lend
their IDs out overnight to get football tickets. Be
ginning this fall, the Athletic Ticket Office will no
longer use ID cards when issuing football tickets.
