Atkinson said they have placed undercover officers inside bars. "Two uniformed police officers come down at least once a night," said Les Schwanbeck, day bar- tender at the Blind Pig/Eight Ball Saloon on S. First. "They talk to the doorman and if anyone looks suspicious, they will ask to look at their i.d." Not only is it a misdemeanor for a minor to try to obtain alcohol, but students using fake i.d.s can cause problems for the i.d. owner with the Secretary of State's of- fice. "Things like this could show up on a record and prevent someone from getting a job," Atkinson said. Good Time Charlie's and Rick's American Cafe are two campus bars that changed their minimum age for admission from 19 to 21. "It's a tough job to separate the two age groups, although they're still responsible to make sure there is no under-age drinking," Atkin- son said. "It's in (the bars') own best interests to change to 21." Rick's has always taken a strong stance on fake i.d.s, said Owner Steve Crowley. There are always two men at the door, who are encouraged with a reward of $5 per i.d. to confiscate fakes. Rick's first tried limiting ad- mission to customers 21 and over on Wednesday nights - which used to have 300 people inside and a line of 300 outside the bar - from March to September 1990, and found that they did not lose much business. "We lost the groups of people of mixed ages over and under 21," Crowley said. "But basically once we turned 21 every night, our Wednesdays, Friday happy hours, and weekends held on. Mondays and Tuesdays have picked up since January." The average age of Rick's em- ployees is 25 or 26, because of an over-21 hiring policy. "Due to the increased public awareness of alcohol and under- age drinking," Crowley said, "we decided to remove ourselves from that whole issue by changing to 21." "We feel by doing so we'll be better poised to adapting to the new market conditions and police concerns," he said. Student controversy exists in both directions over the changes in admission age. "It's not fair to incoming fresh- men because it limits their social activities," LSA senior Alan Tay- lor said. "At the bars I went to, I had little trouble getting in and @ drinking." "However, if a student is old enough to serve in the Gulf War, then he or she is old enough to be served alcohol," Taylor said. LSA sophomore Lainie Lindner said, "It's unfair that the bars have changed to 21, but it has not seri- ously inhibited my social life. There are plenty of other things to do, and when I turn 21, going to the bar will be just another op- tion," she said. Rick Buhr, president of the cor- poration which owns Charlie's, said the main reason for changing from 19 to 21 was crowd control, and that Charlie's business has not suffered. "It's a difficult problem," he said. "There are a lot of very good fake i.d.s out there, but we do our best to try to catch them." Dooder State College TY, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MEET... AHIH.

MEMBERS Continued from page 1 grown up in a university town which has a deputized campus se- curity force, Eshelman said the idea ofa deputized security force is not a strange one for her. "I'm not totally against it but I'm not sure the decision to depu- tize was brought about in the right way," she said. Eshelman said, however, she would not make up her mind one way or the other on the issue of deputization until she could get more information. Other committee members agreed with Eshelman, saying they needed more information before they could make up their minds on the issue. Engineering junior Trudy Robertson said that while she ini- tially opposed the deputized force, the inadequacies of the Ann Arbor police force pushed her into reevaluating her opinion. Robertson said that once she does more research on the force's recommendations she be able to form an opinion. task will Similarly, second-year law stu- dent Timothy Williams said he had not had time to look at the is- sue carefully enough to oppose or support a deputized security force. All three students, Eshelman, Robertson, and Williams said they had not participated in the rallies and protests against deputization held last term. The fourth student committee member, Peter McPartlin, refused to comment on his feelings regard- ing deputization. According to Dawson, commit- tee members were chosen by their ability to represent the various campus areas which all have dif- ferent safety concerns. As a result, an engineering stu- dent, a member of the Residence Hall Association, a member of the Greek community and a law school student were chosen.
