The first gameed this football season, Emilio Breyer had a rockin' party at his house near the student ghetto. It had all the elements of a successful party: a band, tons of people he didn't know — and two visits from the cops.
Luckily, Breyer, Overland Park senior, and his housemates didn't receive the $250 fine they should have for receiving multiple noise complaints in one evening. Perhaps they escaped the fine because they lied about receiving the first warning, but Breyer attributes their good fortune to the level of respect they showed the police.
"As long as you're being polite, most Lawrence cops don't really care," he says.
DEALING WITH THE POLICE AT PARTIES
Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Bill Cory confirms cooperation is key.
"The officers are used to dealing with people who have been drinking," Cory says, "and all they are looking for is cooperation from the people at the party."
As long as you tell everyone who you don't know or who is underage to leave the party once the cops arrive, you'll be fine, Breyer says.

Bad breath. It's the one thing that can lead to first dates never calling back, friends distancing themselves and losing that internship at the interview stage. While people may not necessarily care if your breath is minty-fresh, they certainly will if it seems like there is a carcass inside your mouth.
If you are a smoker or a garlic appreciator, you will most certainly have to deal with halitosis, the scientific name for bad breath. Brushing your teeth and using mouthwash are ways to refreshen your breath but if you really want to get rid of the problem, flossing is the way to go, says Shirley Morriss, a dental assistant at Wilkerson, Saunders and Anderson, 831 Vermont St. Floshing reaches and cleans those areas where food accumulates and bacteria thrive. Also, make sure to clean your tongue, another hotspot for stinky bacteria.
If it's an emergency, chewing some gum may do the trick. But you shouldn't rely on it. Gum will just cover the bad breath and not address the root of the problem. Morris says.
If you diligently clean your teeth and mouth and people are still keeping their distance, your best bet is stopping by the dentist. The
