Signature cards will turn up in College registration envelopes for the first time, on Monday, February 7, Registrar Sargent Kennedy '28 announced yesterday. The move is designed to enforce a new Administrative Board ruling that "all students must register personally."
Traditionally, personal signatures have not been required in filling out registration forms. "But there is always a small minority which abuses such privileges," Kennedy said.
Asked whether there has been any increase in proxy registration to bring forth the new ruling, Kennedy pointed out a line in a recent issue of the "Lampoon" which referred jestingly to students "who fill our registration forms in their own handwriting."
The "Lampoon" last night denied responsibility for the new procedure.
The method of checking signatures against other specimens of handwriting on registration forms has not yet been worked out.
Other details of registration procedure will remain as before, Kennedy said.
Registration for the Spring Term will take place on Monday, February 7. A through M will sign up from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon, and the rest of the alphabet from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Joint registration will continue until 6 p.m.
