The city is cracking down on underaged drinking at
campus-area bars, Ann Arbor's Chief of Police told
police department officials, merchants, and representa-
tives of alcohol awareness groups at a meeting yester-
day.
Police Chief William Corbett organized the meeting
in response to an increase in community complaints
about underaged drinking and the disruptive behavior of
intoxicated people.
But Corbett told the group of about 30 bar managers
and alcohol awareness groups that "the police depart-
ment is not in the business of putting licensees out of
business."
"We... on the other hand have to be responsive to
other people in the community," he said.
Millie Schembechler, board chair of Leaders In Pre-
vention, an alcohol awareness group, said she believes
the lack of "drug-free" recreational facilities in Ann Ar-
bor encourages underaged drinking. "I think when kids
go in (to an alcohol-serving establishment), they think
it's dhe~placefor them to drink, too."
Ann Arbor police officer Richard Blake, a foot pa-

trol on the downtown beat, estimated that intoxicated
minors who have just left bars create 90 percent of the
disruptive situations he encounters.
Michael Bender, general manager of the Nectarine
Ballroom, noted that all nine alcohol violations tickets
the club has received in the past three years have been
issued in the last three to four months.
Blake attributed the recent rise in alcohol violation
citations at campus-area bars to stricter law enforce-
ment. "There have been more officers who've become
more familiar with the liquor law," he said.
Donald Johnson, deputy chief in charge o f
investigations, said police have inspected local bars on
a more frequent basis in the past year. "We want to
have police presence throughout the city," Johnson
said.
Theresa Herzog, substance abuse education coordi-
nator at University Health Service, said she feels the
main source of underaged and abusive drinking prob-
lems is the alcohol distribution industry, which she
criticized for its "enormous effort to encourage minor
drinking."
