PAGE 8 worth the The consequences of being caught with fake identification range from fines to the suspension of driver’s licenses 1 By Sara Lieberth Oregon Daily Emerald The next time you’re stand ing nervously in line waiting for a bouncer to check your identification — unnerved because the card you’re hold ing is either not yours or an ille gal altered version of your own ID — it might be wise to just turn around and wait for some thing else: your 21st birthday. Technological advances in graphics software, which many use to replicate or alter IDs and driver’s licenses, are making the jobs of bouncers, police and even the Depart ment of Motor Vehicles a lit tle more complicated, though their efforts are stepping up to the new challenges. Such was the case for a Uni versity student who was re cently arrested on two counts of Forgery I, a mandated state felony carrying potentially hefty fines and jail time. Police were notified from an anony mous tip that the student man ufactured IDs from his com puter and was selling them to fellow dorm residents. “Now, a circuit court judge will determine what his pun ishment will be,” Eugene Po lice Department Officer Ed Tsui said. “But it’s an interest ing issue really because there^ definitely has been an in-^ crease in the last few years of ^ this sort of thing.” Tsui said students are rou tinely charged with various manners of false identifica tion, including using anoth er’s license, changing the date of birth on their own or down loading other state’s license templates from the Internet and inputting information onto them. University Housing direc tor Michael Eyster said stu dents are not automatically evicted from the residence halls when charged with felonies, but in some cases, under the conduct code, he has the option of issuing a summa ry eviction notice, which takes effect immediately. He said he isn’t specifically aware of how prevalent mak ing IDs is on campus, but through talking with students over the years he’s heard that many incoming freshmen al ready have fake ones in their possession when they arrive. “It’s sort of a ‘don’t leave home without it’ mentality,” m Turn to Fake ID, page 5 Faking it can be costly If you are caught in posession of false identification, either a state identification card or altered driver’s license, the following are some of the consequences you will face: Minor misrepresentation of age is a Class C misdemeanor and carries a $265 fine for the first offense and a minimum $500 fine for repeat offenders. For using an altered driver’s license, the minor must pay $500 under the state vehicle code in addition to the $265 fine. If someone lends his or her license to a friend who is less than 21, both parties will be issued citations from the DMV and fined accordingly. If caught making (manu facturing) fake indentification cards, a felony charge of forgery will apply, carring heavy fines and the potential for time served in jail.

You simply look outside. This is exactly how fifth-year theater arts major Joseph Musacchia was set onto the path he’s paving today. What began as a search for a location to hold a play he had written soon became some thing more: a full-out endeavor to organ ize a festival celebrating pagan beliefs. The Postmodern and Neoclassical Greek Open Air Theater (PANGOAT) festival is planned to be, in Musacchia’s words, “for the students, by the stu dents.” He wants to avoid interference by faculty or staff and hopes the festival can be an entirely student-run event. “What I am trying to do is generate in terest in theater, music and dance cam pus-wide, not just restricted to the the ater arts department,” he said. I want to “make this something that the students Turn to Theater, page 7
