He added that recently, liquor stores are enforcing the law more strictly. Jeff, however, explained one simple way that minors obtain alcohol from liquor stores. "Whenever a friend who is 21 is going down to a store to buy some (alcohol), you just ask him to pick you up something."

Home of t Blue Machir to buy (alcohol) for me and they've said 'sure,' "said Kathy, a 19-year-old LSA sophomore. According to Jeff, getting thrown out of a bar is more of a worry to minors than being arrested for drinking. "A friend of mine and I went into (Good Time) Charley's and the bouncer didn't give us any problems," he explained. "Then my friend tried to order a drink and they asked him to leave." Kathy, however, said, "It's a lot easier in a bar" than in a liquor store to purchase alcohol. Daye agreed, saying, "I've found I've been able to buy at all the (popular campus) bars." He also noted that some bars are less strict early in the evening, when they are less crowded. Underage drinking in bars "depends on the bar," said Jeff. "I have someone else actually buy the drink." "We do the best we can" to uphold the law, said Steve Crowley, a manager at Rick's American Cafe, 611 Church St. He said one of the biggest problems they have is that many underaged people come to Rick's for the music. "I question the ambiguity of the law in allowing 18- to 21-year-olds into the bar," Crowley said. "That's what causes problems." Restaurants are the easiest place in which minors can get served alcohol, according to both Dave and Kathy. When she celebrated her 19th birthday at a popular local restaurant, Kathy said she bought drinks with her meal and paid for them with a check. The waitress saw Kathy's driver's license, with her correct age on it, as proof of identification, but said nothing except to warn her to always buy alcohol with cash. The Ann Arbor Police Department is "extremely effective" in enforcing the 21-year-old drinking age law, according to Chief William Corbett. The method the police currently are employing to enforce the drinkinglaws has come under fire in the past year. "We use young (underage) agents, working for the police," Corbett said, who enter a bar of liquor store and at- tempt to purchase alcohol. Most of the youths are members of the Ex- plorer Scouts organization. "I just got set up," said Cathy Cruise, a waitress at Rick's. "Two Eagle Scouts came in here and ordered a Strohs," she explained. "They had 'paid' stamps (on their hands), which I thought were '21' stamps. I gave (beer) to them and a detective came up behind me and told me I sold the alcohol to a .minor." Although Gruise's case never went to court, there have been several trials for the sale of alcohol to minors in the past years, many of which were won by the person charged with the sale. "I suppose it's the only way" to en- force the law, said Kathy about the un- derage police agents. "It just seems a little too sneaky. I think it's sort of -useless having those little kids go up and buy (alcohol)." She said the police department should be more direct in their approach to enforce the law. The penalty for underage drinking, a misdemeanor, is a $25 fine for first of- fenders and a $50 fine and required par- ticipation in an alcohol education program for repeat offenders, accor- ding to Marsha Wilson, Washtenaw County deputy court clerk for civil in- fractions.

While both air from campus studios, and both serve the Ann Arbor and University com- munities, the similarities end about there. One is student-run; one is professionally-staffed. Each station has its own style, and each has different op- portunities for students. WCBN, the student-run station, has a varied format. For a good part of each 24-hour day, the station airs "free- form" music-meaning just about anything goes according to each deejay's tastes. You might catch a polka or a sonata, reggae or new wave rock. The rest of the day, WCBN airs music specials and public affairs programs. Topics can range from women's con- cerns to nutritional information to gay rights. Some of the station's regular programs are produced in cooperation with such special interest groups.
