Rockin' leads to cops knockin'
By Frank Shaw
Of the Emerald
It's a problem almost every
apartment dweller and dormitory
resident is familiar with. At 2 a.m.
on a Friday (or almost any other
night of the week), just when the
Sandman is ready to visit, the par
ty next door kicks into high gear
with “Rock the Casbah."
Goodbye sleep and hello
headache.
Dormitory officials, apartment
managers and the Eugene Police
Department all offer much the
same solution — go and ask the
noisemakers to turn it down.
Dead fish on the doorstep and
hammers against the wall only
serve to aggravate the problem.
Jan Seufert, manager of the
apartments at 1540 E. 15th Ave.,
says she recommends tenants
bothered by noise should “Go tell
them (to be quiet) nicely, call the
police and then let us know."
When she is notified of a noise
problem, her policy is to send the
noisemakers a note letting them
know there have been complaints.
"That lets them know they're be
ing watched," Seufert says.
If another complaint is received,
the noisemakers are asked to
move out. "There's always that
one (tenant) who has to be at work
in the morning. You have to be
fair to everybody," she says.
But according to Sgt. Rick
Allison of the Eugene Police
Department, "We do get calls, but
they're rare." The official charge is
"loud and raucous noise" and
Allison says most calls involve par
ties with a lot of alcohol or "loud,
amplified music."
The department's policy is to
Graphic by Shawn Bird
respond to the call and give a war
ning, and on the second com
plaint cite the offenders, Allison
says. A fine and a visit to a cour
troom are next in line. Allison says
most of the problems occur on Fri
day and Saturday nights.
Life in the residence halls isn't
free from noise problems, either.
According to Dick Romm, director
of residence life at the University,
a survey of dorm residents last
year found noise to be the
number one problem.
"The most obvious way to solve
the problem is with direct con
tact," Romm says. When the party
starts getting loud, he recom
mends just knocking on the door
and asking the party to quiet
down.
If the noise continues, the resi
dent assistant is notified, but
Romm says a complaint from a
person next door is usually more
effective than one from an RA
who might be as far as two floors
away.
So when you're having at ^
"Urgent" party at 10 decibels at
a m. on Tuesday night and you
hear a knock on the door — turn it
down.
