A2 businesses lack uniform fake ID policy By Kay Bhagat Daily Staff Reponter The Michigan Liquor Control Commission recommends that when fake identification is dis- covered in bars or clubs, the ID should be confis- cated and legal authorities should be called. However, in Ann Arbor and Detroit, this policy is followed to varying degrees. "We keep all fake IDs and we confiscate up to ,12 licenses a night, depending upon the day of week," said Faith Wood, general manager at the Blind Pig on First Street. Mike Iwaniw, manager of Score Keeper's on Maynard Street, said his bar is more relaxed in their policies. "If someone does not have a real ID, we will not admit them inside our bar. However, we do not take their IDs or call the police," said Iwaniw. "I think that it all depends on the owner; some are nonchalant because they want more business or want their friends to come in, while others check it twice with two different bouncers," said LSA junior Robert Brown. Despite the different levels of enforcement, both bars are complying with the law, said Ann Arbor Police Department Sgt. Paul Curtis. "It is not required for bars to call the police if a false identification is used, but most usually do," Curtis said. Sgt. Myron Blackwell added that a mere police presence often keeps students from using false ID. "Police officers do liquor inspections where they will go to bars or liquor stores and walk around as a deterrent in order to stop underage people from buying alcohol," Blackwell said. Although Curtis said the AAPD does not fre- quently receive cases of minors using illegal identification, those caught trying to use a fake ID could be charged with a criminal misde- meanor and require a court date. While few bars in Ann Arbor have even con- sidered using bar code scanners to check IDs, scanners are already fixtures in the Detroit casi- nos. Greek Town Casino Director of Security Gre- gory Gaskin said the state police are notified if a fake ID is used in his casino. "We scan all photo IDs that have bar codes or magnetic strips. If not, we punch in the license numbers of older ones," said Gaskin. None of the bars currently use such scanners. "We are considering scanning IDs, because fake IDs are becoming a bigger problem in soci- ety," said Scott Greig, manager of the Necto on Liberty Street. The Necto, formally the Nectarine, was sold last year, after a police investigation involving liquor law violations and drug sales. Other clubs feel their current methods are effi- cient and accurate. "I'm not sure that we are going to be scanning JONATHION TRIEST/Daily LSA junior Andy Pascal checks a student's ID at Rick's American Cafe, which serves alcohol in the evenings. IDs. We are pretty diligent in our efforts to seek out fake IDs," said Wood. Kat Schotthoeser, a bartender in Detroit, echoed Wood's sentiment. "Nobody seems'to use scanners around here. I really haven't seen it too much in Detroit, and I think that there are too many different types of IDs that need to be checked," said Schotthoeser, an employee of the Town Pump Tavern. "I have never seen the police come or an ID taken away from any bars in Ann Arbor," said LSA senior Jamila Stanton. Water break Scholarship named for victim of terrorist attacks By Kristen Beaumont Daily Staff Reporter The family of Josh Rosenthal, a University alum killed in the Sept. I1 attacks at the World Trade Center, has established a memorial scholarship fund in his honor. Rosenthal graduated with a political science degree from LSA in 1979 and served on the University's Investment Advi- sory Committee. He was an investment portfolio manager and the senior vice president of the firm Fiduciary Trust Company International, located in the south tower of the Trade Center. "Josh was an important member of the committee bringing the global investment perspective to its discussion," said Robert Kasdin, the University's chief financial officer. At Fiduciary, Rosenthal handled the portfolios of global stocks. Kasdin said the committee, which meets semi-annually, makes recommendations to the University Board of Regents about possible expenditures. The committee is scheduled to meet this November in Ann Arbor. While Rosenthal was at the University, he was the recipient of the Truman Fellowship and went on to study at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University. Kasdin said the fund in his name will be an LSA scholarship. "Unfortunately the family has not been more specific about what the fund is going to, but the fund has been established," said Judy Malcolm, the director of development for communi- cation and donor relations. Malcolm said the Rosenthal Scholarship Fund was the first memorial fund that a family of someone killed in the Sept. I 1 attacks has established at the University. Rosenthal's mother Marilynn is a professor of medical sociology at the Universi- ty's Dearborn campus. "We haven't decided yet what the scholarship will go towards," Rosenthal said. "I have to sit down with the Vice President of Development to decide." Rosenthal said she has no immediate plans to determine how the scholarship will be distributed and will be returning to New York this week for a memorial service for her son. "We are pleased to attach Josh's name to a scholarship at the University. He had a very good undergrad experience with LSA," she said. Malcolm said she did not know of any other families plan- ning to establish funds. "It is likely there will be others but no one has come forward yet," she said. University alum David Alger, president of Fred Alger Man- agement Inc.; was also killed in the attacks. Alger also served on the Investment Advisory Committee with Rosenthal. No memorial fund has been established yet for Alger, or any other alumni killed in the attacks. "I don't think the (Alger) family has decided yet what they are going to do," said Kathy Okun, associate vice president of development.

Restrictions,da at border i DETROIT(AP) - In the aftermath of the terror attacks,. critics of U.S. immigration policy are talking about toughening scrutiny of the 350,000 immigrants and 31 million temporary visitors who enter the country each year. A 1996 immigration law called for a new computerized entry and exit tracking of all temporary visa holders. But lawmakers from Michigan and other states with major international entry points blocked its implementa- tion after complaints by business and industry gr6ups. In 1999, U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R- St. Joseph, helped broker a House- Senate deal that delayed implementation of the law for two and a half years. The provision requires use of a computer system that automatically collects records of all foreigners arriv- ing and departing from the United crossings States so it can identify those over- staying their visas. The Immigration and Naturaliza- tion Service had said it lacked the money and staff to implement the law, and Congress failed to appropriate money to allow it to do so. "The issues of how you track entries and exits on our land borders became a real (political) showstop- per," said Doris Meissner, INS com- missioner under President Bill Clinton. "That is because nobody has been able to develop any technology that works quickly enough to be able to have people go in and out of the coun- try in cars in ways that doesn't slow down the traffic so enormously," Miessner said. Now, border delays have become routine because of increased security implemented after the attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. Senate to approve airport security bills LANSING (AP) - Just as Presi- dent Bush and Gov. John Engler move to strengthen airport security, the Michigan Senate is poised this week to approve bills to make it harder to carry a weapon into airports. "We have really circled the wagons here," said Sen. Philip Hoffman, the Horton Republican who sponsored the bills that would prohibit guns between an airport's metal detector and the plane itself. Hoffman said last week's action by Bush and Engler doesn't affect his leg- islat.ion, which would prohibit guns, knives and other dangerous weapons from certain areas at airports. "The bills are more pertinent now," Hoffman said. "They're crucial to have a statutory structure in place to enforce the law." The bills, approved by a Senate committee last week, would make it illegal to carry firearms, explosives, knives, razors or box cutters in an air- port's "sterile zone." Terrorists report- edly used knives and box cutters during the Sept. 11 hijackings of three airplanes. Offenders would face a misde- meanor punishable by up to a year in prison and a fine of $1,000. A person who carried a dangerous weapon on a plane would face a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to S10,000.
