The University scored anothe first during registration week as more than 20,000 students were shot in record time. No casualties were reported however, and everybody seemed pleased as 20 polaroid and cam- era shutters clicked, bulbs flashed and students received finished identification photos in approxi- mately one minute. The new ID card procesing system enabled students to pos- sess their validated cards five minutes after their pictures were taken. * ** UNDER THE old system ID cards were not distributed until the second week of school because the photos were sent to Detroit for developing and printing. Not only has this delay been eliminated by the new system but the problem of retaking pictures has also become negli- gible. The instantaneous print- ing reveals any defects and re- takes are made on the spot. With all 20 cameras in opera- tion, sixteen to eighteen students were photographed per minute. Last Wednesday the camera shut- ters clicked more than 5,500 times. After minor refinements are made the 20 cameras could photo- graph 7,000 to 8,000 students in an eight-hour day; according to Dean Erich A. Walter who is chiefly responsible (or the intro- duction of the new system. THE NEW procedure can be di- vided into three parts. First, the picture is taken by means of a special device developed by Polar- oid which produces four copies of each subject. As soon as the picture is withdrawn from the camera, the student carries it to the cut- ter, where one of the prints is given him. The other prints are sent to various University de- partments. The student then parries the print to the next table where it is affixed to the ID card by a spe- cial heat process. The card is then validated with the official stamp and the student has It without any further delay. THE LARGE SCALE use of the Polaroid camera at Waterman Gymnasium attracted the atten- tion of many other universities in in the mid-west. Representatives f r o m the University of Illinois, the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, the Ifni- versity of Chicago, Purdue Uni- versity and Western Michigan have made a careful examina- tion of the new method. H. E. Davis, Jr., of the Polaroid Corporation said last week that this was the first time the Land camera has been used on such a large scale operation or at any university. INTRODUCTION of the .new system, which required an unus- ually large camera section, caused few changes in the overall regis- tration set-up, according to As- sistant Registrar Edward G. Groes- beck. One change however, could not possibly go unnoticed by men students who in previous years received their Union membership cards in a congested Union office. The new practice of issuing membership cards near the building exit was highly prais- ed by SL members and a num- ber of other students. Another minor change brought about by the large camera area needed was the moving of the fees section into the basement and the shifting of the student concessions to the tent outside the building. Opinions varied as to the ra- pidity of the entire registration process but most students queried expressed praise for the new ID card issuing system.
