I did a MA in the mid-80s and strangely enough, I happen to have my student I.D. card in a box behind my desk.

In looking at it, there is a magnetic strip along the lower part of the back of the card.
There is no bar coding on the card.
It is a thick plastic photo ID. (I had a lot more hair back then)
Card is from a major mid-western University circa 1985.

Scopes says it’s a rework of a 1998 student ID anyway.

In recent years, I’ve discovered why people should never keep old ID cards: the damn picture keeps getting younger. ;-)
