Changes in the Reception on the Mountain (1Jun92) (from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 30, 1 June 1992) To provide increased security on the mountain, a gate has been installed on the window in the reception area of the Administration Building on Kitt Peak. Keys for dormitory rooms will no longer be readily accessible when the office is closed. Should your arrival to the mountain be after 4 p.m. weekdays or on weekends, you will be able to get your dorm key by calling Security or one of the Observing Technicians (OT) on duty. Before 6 p.m. go to the Kitchen and ask them to call Security for you. After 6 p.m. an OT must be called. While their office is just down the hall from Reception, it is likely that you will need to call them on the radio. A sign is posted on the gate indicating how to do this. If you arrive after the OT has gone off duty, it will be necessary to call the Telescope Operator at the 2.1-m. Bruce Bohannan, Joanne Wilcox
