Paul: Our whole practice room area is locked and accessible only with student/faculty/staff ID card. If you teach music, study music or work on the area your ID card gives you access. If you're not registered for music this semester you don't get in. In addition to that the grand piano practice rooms are locked and you have to have a key. All the piano practice rooms are keyed alike so you can get to any room but you have to have the key. We are a private university the state/taxpayer thing isn't a concern. Since the practice room area has limited access theft is down. dp David M.

How does that work out for you? Since we have non-students, non majors using the pianos.. doesn't that make for some sort of state/taxpayer problems? That's my fear...besides the hassle of issuing keys, etc. I'm interested in finding out the logistics of this endevour...Do the students also sign up for certain practice times or is it a free for all? ps; I met Steve yesterday to discuss the Steinway D at the Lied Center. Great guy and I think y'all will get the job!

After entering their info on the clipboard, I tell them if they have another violation we'll take away practice room keys! That seems to intimidate them enough. I'd have to be sure we CAN do something like that, as it's never happened. John Minor University of Illinois -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
