"We're going to put more effort into enforcing the
IDs laws. Baker said "It has he<. ome a big proh
lem around campus "
Baker cited the ( onfiMation of more than Utt) HK

widespread use of false il)s During the past month
EPD has cited about 10 to 15 students a week for
using UK that are either fake or don't tieiong to them.
"Students may think it is a game to sneak into a
bar and get alcohol." he said "But if you are over
1H, it govs on your criminal re< on), and you an* tak
ing a real risk to your career,"
If a student uses someone vise's ID to get alcohol,
the student can he < ited for minor falsely rep

Bouncers a! campus-area bars art* also on the look
out for false IDs. Most of the fake IDs bouncers see
are either real driver's licenses that have been
altered, fake laser-printed licenses or real driver's

use them
John Carlson, who has checked IDs at Rennie's
