5,090 Will Register, Say `Cheese'

Pictures of Karenna A. Gore '95 were splashed throughout the media after her father Al Gore '69 was elected vice president. Tomorrow, when she looks into the video camera at the College's upperclass registration, her picture won't be used in a Rose Garden photo op--it will be reproduced on a single, two-inch-by-three-inch piece of plastic.

The face of Gore and 5,089 other sophomores, juniors and seniors who register at Memorial Hall today will be used to make new computerized identification cards. There are 4,888 continuing students and 202 students returning from time off, according to Associate Registrar Thurston A. Smith.

An image of each student will be stored on computer disk and can be used to produce a replacement if the student's identification card is lost, so students must keep their original photographs whether they like them or not.

However, students will be able to see their images as recorded by the video camera immediately. "If it's really awful, they can take it again," Smith says.

Each student's photography session will take between 30 and 40 sec- onds and there will be seven photo stations,according to Smith.

To allow enough time for everyone's picture tobe taken, registration will last an hour longerthan usual this year--from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Student observing the Rosh Hashanah holiday canmake arrangements to register on Monday. Otherswho don't make it to Memorial Hall by 5 p.m. canpay a $50 fee and register on Monday at theRegistrar's Office at 20 Garden St.

Smith says students looking to avoid long linesmay fare better if they don't show up early in themorning, since the highest number of upperclassstudents attempt to register between 9 and 11 a.m.

"If I were to register, I would try to comesort of mid-afternoon," Smith says.

At registration, students will receive packetsincluding registration forms, study cards andtemporary identification cards. Course catalogswill also be available for students who did notreceive theirs before returning to school
