Identification Changes.
Registration has been run off

years past, the new identification
card system Being the oix ci.ange.
For the first time xk nfstory of
the school, everyorrTtlling his reg-
istration will have his picture and
a picture of his signature taken.
In past years only freshmen were
photographed and their pictures
were generally lost or misplaced
before the end of the school year.
A new protectograph is also be
ing used to validate the identifica
tion cards.
The new system of having a
picture on every identification
card is designed to: (li check ad
missions on student tickets to uni
versity athletic events by persons
not registered in the university,
(2) to end misuse of student vot
ing privileges, 3) to preserve the
exclusive use of the Student Union
for the students and their guests,
(4) aid librarians and officials in
the student hejlth offices.
