Show Staff, Faculty Say 'Cheese'; Gain Campus Privileges The new University identification cards being issued to first quarter Freshmen, transfer students, faculty, facul-ty, and employees has been designed de-signed primarily for future use in a computerized library check-out program. Richard Boss, Associate Director of the library, observed that the computer will probably be installed in the new library sometime some-time during the life of the card. Students carrying the ID card (with the activity card affixed) will be entitled to cash checks, attend all athletic, cultural, and social events, and use many of the University Uni-versity facilities such as the swimming swim-ming pool, library, and bookstore. Employees will also have similar campus privileges. The new ID came as a result of the findings of an adhoc committee The committee discussed the problems prob-lems that old ID cards presented, and, after extensive study of nationwide nation-wide college ID systems, decided to provide ID cards to faculty and staff as well as students. This responsibility re-sponsibility was given to the Registrar's Regis-trar's Office. Ths new slightly larger card includes in-cludes a color snapshot of its owner own-er as well as his name, address, and social security number. Whereas Where-as the old card was typed, the new card is photographed. A pre-printed card is inserted in the dual lens processing camera at the time the owner's picture is taken. The camera cam-era takes a photo both of the subject sub-ject and the card and prints the two on one frame. The camera is capable of shooting a picture every eight seconds and contains enough film to take 800 pictures without reloading. "We hope to have the entire stu-dentbody stu-dentbody equiped with these cards before the end of next year," commented com-mented Registrar C. A. Reeder, Jr. New ID cards can be obtained at the Registrars office (Park Building 106) 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Card replacements cost $1.00. |
