'KEY MAN' ON CAMPUS
By Bob Ford
Emerald Reporter
How would you like to own one
key that opens 900 doors on the
campus?
You would, ‘f you were Jack
E. Douglas, whose civil service
title is maintenance repairman
number two, but better known to
many University faculty and stu
dents as the "key man."
Douglas has been employed by
the University since June, 1943,
and is in charge of lock, key and
door closure work. He added the
door closure repair job to his du
ties in 1947.
The key expert is in charge of
making duplications of keys for
all University property, as well as
keeping all doors in good swinging
and shutting order.
Duplicate Key
Douglas has a duplicate key for
every door and cabinet lock in a
University building, filed accord- j
ing to building and room number
in his physical plant office. The j
one exception is the museum of
fine arts.
The science building has more
Keys than any other structure on
the campus. There are 2,000
rouble sided keys for the lab
oratory cabinets, and close to 300
door keys in the new building.
The Student Union has about the
same number of door keys.
The Vet's Dorm, the Agate
stieet prefabs, and the Amazon
area are also under Douglas’ sup
ervision. Dougjas does not have
duplicates of the keys used in
these buildings. They were con
structed during the war when
brass materials were difficults to
obtain, so he has to obtain the
keys directly from these buildings
when duplicate keys are needed.
Pin Tumblers
The majority of the keys on the
campus are used for pin tumbler
locks, which necessitates grooving
one side of the key. The tumbler
cuts one the edge of the key are
made on the Independent Dock
company minute key duplicator. A
pattern and duplicator key are
used in the process, and a rotary
file on the machine cuts the
grooves. There are about 30,000
possible changes in a pin tumbler
lock.
The science building laboratory
keys aie double-sided, however,
and code cuts have to be made
on the center of the keys with
the Bell Key Duplicator made by
H. G., Wilson. The code cuts are
notches which vary in umber, ac
cording to the four classifications
of code cuts, C. D. E. and F.
Grand Master
At the present time, Douglas is
hoping to have a grand master key
system over the entire campus.
There is a grand master key sys
tem for the Student Union, science
building, Commonwealth, and the
oast, wing of the architecture
school. One key in Douglas’ posses
sion will open nny lock in these
buildings. There are between 800
and 900 doors in these buildings,
and about 400 more will be added
to this grand master key system
when Deady liall remodeling and
proposed changes in the architec
ture school are completed.
The grand master key system is
Valuable in cases of emergencies
and is also convenient for I. I.
Wright, head of the physical
plant, when he wants to inspect
a building.
Villard hall, Carson hall and the
new addition to the music school
also have a grand master key sys
tem. Buildings not included in
this category have master keys
which open all doors in one spe
cific structure. There are also de
partment masters which open all
doors in departments in Common
wealth, the remodeled Friendly
hall and the science building.
Big Kush
The heads of departments or
secretaries of departments have a
group master. A master key for all
doors in a building must be clear
ed through Wright’s office.
Douglas has his big rush on keys
at the start of every school year.
Mnny now employees, student)
and graduates assistants have to
obtain keys. Students must have
authorization slips from heads ot
departments before they receive
keys. A 50 cent deposit is paid
upon receiving a key, and is re
funded when the key is returned
to the physical plant.
Douglas has been interested in
keys since the age of 15, when hi*
used to pick locks in the school -
gymnasium just for the fascina
tion of seeing if he could master
them.
Ship Welder
Prior to his employment at the .
University, Douglas taught ship
welding at the Eugene vocational
school for two years. He can re- •
call in 1943 when the University
had only two carpenters, two
plumbers, one electrician and a
general mechanic. Douglas was
general mechanic until the expan
sion on the campus necessitated
a full lime man on keys and locks.
Douglas feels a good meehani- -
cal background is a necessity for
lus job, and the qualities of native
ingenuity, patience and a good
memory are also assets.
E. G. (Shorty) Epperson is
Douglas' assistant and has been
with him approximately four
years.
Baldwin Named Go-Between
For Foundation Fellowships
E. M. Baldwin, associate profes
sor of geology, has been appointed
as liaison officer with the Dan
forth Foundation on the selection
of candidates for the Foundation’s
graduate fellowships.
The appointment was made by
H. K. Ncwburn, president of the
University of Oregon. The qualifi
cations of candidates as listed by
the Danforth Foundation are evi

ity in college, good record of health

This is the second series of grad

first year of graduate study.

Senate Backs
(Continued from pane one)
there is enough interest here at
Oregon to form a ski team and
that the rnen interested in forming
the ski team had contacted M. T.
Koplin, instructor in economic-,
who was willing to handle the fi
nances of the team.
Thomas said that Kenneth van
Dyke, a former ski patrolman at
Santiam, was willing to act as
coach for the team. Van Dyke lives
in Portland.
The University of Oregon, Thom
as stated, i.s the only major col
lege or university in California,
Oregon or Washington which does
not have a ski team. He said many
of the smaller schools' have teams.
Howard Lemons, athletic busi
ness manager, stated that the reas
ons for not having a ski team were
that it is hard to get a representa
tive schedule, there is no coach
available for the team and theic
is a problem of insurance for the
members of the team.
The meets, Lemons explained,
are not on a regular schedule and ’
thus complicated the problem of
arranging for meets. Other schools,
according to Lemons, are generally
unfavorable toward skiing because
of the number of problems in- ■
volved.
“Had Marlow stayed," Lemons
said, “we would probably have a
ski team".
If a ski team for this year is
approved, the budget of $867 would
probably be spent as follows:
Northern division meet at the
Cougar Ski Bowl (WSC) $130.
Reno Winter meet at Reno $85.
Vanderbilt Trophy Race $105.
All-Oregon meet (a proposed
meet) $100.
Necessary equipment $80.
Practices at Mount Hood and
Santiam Pass for 10 weekends—•
$362.
Any other expenses would be
paid for by the skiiers, said Brit
tain.
