Bars predict more fake ID use
By Bryan Swan
Kansan staff writer
Some managers of local bars and clubs are predicting an increase in the use of false identification after a recent Douglas County District Court ruling that forbids law enforcement officers from carding patrons.
"I've heard that since that ruling that bars are a lot busier across the board," said Mark Putman, manager of Gammons, 101 W. 23rd St. "It's not been a problem here because we let 18-year-olds and 21-year-olds in, and tag and stamp the 18-year-olds."
"You'll find it to be true all over town," he said. "Some people will try to take it for granted."
However, he said there had been an increase in underage people using false identification at Gammons since the ruling.
Jean Shepherd, Doulas County district judge, ruled Wednesday that two undercover Lawrence police officers did not have reasonable suspicion that a crime had been committed when they approached Abby Bernstein, Winnetka, III., junior in.
March at the Free State Brewing Co. 607 Massachusetts St., and demanded identification.
Bernstein, who was 19 at the time,
at first told the officers she did not
have identification. She admitted her
officers threatened to take her to jail.
Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesman, said police officers can enter drinking establishments on their own judgment or at the request of a friend. The police are asking for identification pending an appeal and reversal of the ruling.
"Unless there is suspicion of another crime, we will not ID," he said.
Tom Hannah, director of the state's Alcoholic Beverage Control, said that his agency's presence in the city is limited and that enforcement of liqueur laws mostly carried out by local law enforcement officials.
"At the present time, we're not planning any concerted effort one way or the other," he said. "We're going back and analyze the situation."
Rick McNeely, manager of The
Jazzhaus of Lawrence, $926 \frac{1}{2}$ Massachusetts St., said he supported the ruling.
"I applaud the ruling because I agree with the legal stance that it's a violation of someone's rights for a cop to come in and say that someone does not look 21," he said.
McNeely said alcohol abuse by young people at private parties was a greater problem.
George Grieb, manager of Bull Winkley Bink, 1844 Tennessee St., said the ramifications of the ruling would probably not be that great because students would still be wary of the police.
"Over the weekend, I didn't notice any increase in the number of people using fake IDs or any increase in business," he said. "I think a lot of people don't believe it or think it is a half-hearted decision."
Grieb said Bull Winkles Bar would not institute any policy changes because of the ruling.
"The students are still as apprehensive about presenting fake IDs as before, and we're not taking any chances," he said."

Student drug use decreases
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A survey of almost 400,000 junior high and high school students nationwide found that the percentage using drugs has dropped in the past two years but that the percentage using cocaine has increased.
The percentage of students in grades 9-12 who said they used cocaine dropped from 6.4 percent in 1986-87 to 4.6 percent in the 1988-89 school year. However, those users who reported getting "very high" or "bombed/stoned" from the drug rose from 71.4 percent to 74.5 percent during the two-year period, according to the survey conducted by the National Parents' Resource Institute for Drug Education.
In the junior high grades of 6-8, 1.7 percent of the students said they had used cocaine in the past year, a drop from 2.3 percent in 1986-87. But 6.2 percent of those users said they got "very high" or "bombed/stoned," compared with 65.2 percent in the earlier survey.
The drop in the percentage of students who said they used cocaine "means the casual user is more careful, more frightened of the drug," said Thomas J. Gleaton Jr., president of PRIDE.
Outlining a profile of the student cocaine user, Gleaton described a "venturesome" and "sociable" youth who "wants to be first."
Although the use of beer, liquor, marjjuana and cocaine showed declines from the 1988-87 survey for students in grades 6-12, levels of junior high students' use of liquor or cocaine were lower than they were in the 1984-85 survey
"I'm discouraged that the levels of intoxication are increasing," Gleaton said.
The percentage of students in grades 6-8 who said they used liquor was 21.2 percent in 1984-85, peaked at 28.3 percent two years ago and dropped to 24.9 percent in the latest survey. The percentage who said they used cocaine was 1.3 percent four years ago, peaked at 2.3 percent two years ago and dropped to 1.7 percent in the new study.
In addition, the latest survey detected weekly cocaine use in the sixth grade.
Of the 29,116 six graders who responded to a question about cocaine use, 0.8 percent, or about 233, said they used cocaine weekly or daily. About 58 six graders said they used cocaine once or twice a month, and another 87 said they used cocaine one to six times a year.
