SciLi vending machines broken

Be prepared for disappointment if you want to put some Coke on your WesCard. David Markowitz '11 points out that the vending machines (all except the ice cream machine) near SciLi now have card readers... but that none of the card readers work. Oops.

If you lived here, you'd be home by now!

Last year, ResLife decided to implement a guest card access policy--anyone living in a building with card access could request access to that building for up to three people, but it was only good from 10:00 AM-midnight Sunday through Wednesday and 10:00 AM-8:00 PM Thursday through Saturday. Not anymore. Guests now have 24/7 access, according to the request form. Woo hoo!

(The following buildings currently have card access: Fauver, Clark, WestCo, Nicolson, Hewitt, the Butts, Hi-Rise, 202 Washington, and 230 Washington. 200 Church is also slated to receive card access next month, probably by fall break. Note that the prototype woodframes--14 Warren, 20 Fountain, 25 Fountain, and 231 Pine--also have card access, but residents apparently cannot grant guest access.)

Cash-free vending machines

By now, it's probably fairly common knowledge that you can use your WesCard at the vending machines in Usdan (no points, though--just Middletown Cash that you've put on). Until now, those were the only ones. Not anymore. Three of the four vending machines in the basement of Freeman (all but the Powerade one) have been outfitted with WesCard readers:

They aren't working yet (they all say "NOT IN SERVICE 001" or something to that extent), but I imagine they will be soon. Hopefully this means that every vending machine will soon have this capability. I haven't noticed any other machines that now take WesCards; if anyone else knows of any, post them in the comments.
