Campaign targets fake IDs
Posters illustrate consequences

Posters stressing the consequences of making and using fake DIs are greeting KU students returning from spring break.
The Joint City-University Task Force on Alcohol Abuse Prevention hopes to make the use and manufacture of fake IDs look less than glamorous through the posters, which have been hung around the University of Kansas campus and Lawrence.
The 500 posters were paid for with money from the University provost's office, said Provost David Shulenburger, chairman of the task force. He did not have specific figures available yesterday.
"We're trying to show the sequences of using and manufacturing fake IDs," said Gayle Martin, communications coordinator for the City of Lawrence "We want young people to understand that there are consequences. They could end up in municipal court, and it could end up on their permanent record."
The task force was formed in 1998 to curb alcohol abuse by students at the University and in Lawrence. Research indicated that a drinking culture was prevalent in Lawrence and that fake IDs were easy to obtain.
The posters developed by the task force remind underage drinkers that possessing a fake ID is a misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine of up to $500 and six months in jail. Manufacturing fake IDs is a felony and comes with more serious penalties.
The posters also are intended to inform fake ID manufacturers that they may be identified through the Lawrence-Douglas County Crime Stoppers tips line. Those who call in tips that lead to the arrest of such manufacturers could receive a reward of up to $1,000.
But Ryan Schultz, Wichita junior, said he didn't think the posters would work.
"People are going to use them no matter what," he said. "As long as you have friends that are older and you're going out with a group of them, you'll either use a fake ID or someone else's ID."
Schultz, now 21, said he used a fake ID when he was underage.

Getting into fake IDs is costly.
Presenting the ID to a misidentifier with a photo of your $400 and your address in it. Making like (the ID) a telenoy and carne more severe punishment.

Don't get burned by the fake ID business
...but you should not use stolen credit cards.
The Joint City-University Task Force on Alcohol Abuse Prevention has placed posters like this one on campus and in Lawrence in order to show the consequences of fake IDs. Contributed photo
Massachusetts St., said that on a busy night, the bar turned down anywhere from five to 10 fake IDs.
"Fake IDs are prevalent, that's for sure," he said. "The problem from my perspective is the transfer of liability for other crimes. Bars become liable for the actions of persons with fake IDs."
Filmmaker to speak tonight
Doug Liman, director of the movies Swingers and Go, will speak at 6:30 tonight at 130 Budig Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
Liman will cover a variety of topics, ranging from opportunities in the film industry to how he made his films. He also will answer questions and sign autographs.
"Doug's a talented and bright young man who has established a good reputation from Swingers and Go," said Chuck Berg, professor of theatre and film. "It's appropriate that he will be talking about Swingers in my Jazz in Film class because of the 1990s swing revival."
John Tibbetts, assistant professor of theatre and film, said Liman's visit was a great opportunity for the theatre and film department
"At 33 years old, he's a real up-and-comer." Tibbets said.
Tibbetts also said he looked forward to the possibility of Liman working with independent film projects in Kansas City and Lawrence.

Edd McCracken, Ballywalter, Northern Ireland, junior, said he was excited for the opportunity to hear some of Liman's insight on making film.

"The fact that he's actually coming to speak here is exciting." McCracken said. "I'm looking forward to asking him how he got the idea to fragment the storyline in Go the way he did," he said.

Student earns national honor for public service
Thirteen is an unlucky number for some people, but not for Mark Bradshaw.
The department of theatre and film is sponscing the lecture.
Bradshaw, a Walnut senior, became the 13th Truman Scholar at the University of Kansas since 1977, when the Truman Foundation made its first awards.
"I it's crazy, like something disastrous is going to happen," he said of being No. 13. "But it doesn't really bother me too much."
Bradshaw was informed of his award the morning of March 17.
"I sort of got an unofficial call on Friday," he said. "It was early in the morning before I went to class, so it
Bradshaw: Aspires to become an environmental lawyer
The award goes to students likely to succeed in public service careers.
The award will give Bradshaw $3,000 for his senior year of college and up to $27,000 for three years of graduate study.
Bradshaw will graduate in May
2001 with a degree in American Studies.
Bradshaw said that he did not know where he would go for graduate school but that he wanted to become an environmental lawyer.
"I haven't even taken the LSAT or looked at many schools, but I'm intending on getting an environmental law degree," he said. "I'm interested in non-profit work."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway congratulated Bradshaw for his excellence in campus leadership.
Bradshaw has organized students to clean streams and to work on a gardening project. In 1988, he won the Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall Marietta Jackson Award for outstanding service to the campus community.
