One machine will placed in the front lobby area of High Rise North, while the other will be located in Hill College House's lobby. The MAC machines were requested by the Residential Advisory Board and approved this summer by the Office of the Treasurer. The HRN machine is scheduled to be operational within two weeks, but the Hill machine will not be installed until September. Assistant Director of Services and Residential Living Nancy McCue said she feels this is an excellent step for the University. McCue is the RAB contact to Residential Living. "I think this is an example of how students and administrators concerns can be addressed," said RAB Vice Chairperson and Undergraduate Assembly member Josh Rockoff. "Penn's safety and security are two very important issues on campus and for students and administrators at both Hill and HRN." McCue said that MAC machines are primary targets for crime. She and Rockoff fell the new machines will increase both safety and convenience. "This project is an example of what cooperation can do for students," Rockoff said. "There are a lot of students here over the summer and we can get things done. I hope similar projects will follow in all areas of University life."
