This was the way it was done in fall 2004 when I was a grad student; there was not hand-scanning when I was an undergrad:
If you are trying to enter with a student ticket, you are supposed to have your hand scanned along with your ID. This is because people will scalp student tix to non-students (particularly students from other universities who are visiting or students from Gainesville State who are fans). Seating is assigned, but no one ever sits in assigned seats.
As of my freshman year at UGA you had to have your hand scanned to enter the dining hall if you were on the meal plan. However, if you messed up the scan you could enter a pin code, so people not on the plan would just purposely scan incorrectly and enter a pin they knew would work.
