</div>I usually arrange the entrance to the Technion. Going through the fine<br>
archives, I see that nobody requested ahead of time to arrange<br>
entrance. I will try to contact lecturers from now on, to ask if they<br>
need entrance to the Technion. Thanks for letting me know that this<br>
may be a problem.<br>

</div>I think that the process is as smooth as it can be: just let me know.<br>
However, if it is not known that I should be contacted, that is a<br>
problem!<br>
<br>
Additionally, there is no place to store such a duplicate key for the<br>
projector. There are no "regulars".<br>

To get the key I went to Bracha Cohen, in charge of teaching in the faculty, and signed a consent form, in which I promise to uphold CS faculty regulations. Since I am not a TA in the faculty, she did me a favor by letting me have the key at all. Duplicating the key would be a breach of trust.</div>
