Koleszar recommended that you
not present physical identification,
regardless of your age or sobriety.
Gilliam said that police will gen
erally not hassle you on the street
unless you give them a reason.
“We try to focus on behavior and
not so much the fact that people
have been drinking,” Gilliam said.
“We don’t want fights. We don’t
want people urinating in other peo
ple’s yards — screaming in the dark
and all that other stuff.”
“The cops are in the alleys.
They’re everywhere,” Koleszar
said, describing police presence in
the University neighborhood on a
Friday or Saturday night. “They see
a group of five people on the street,
and they’re going to stop them. I see
groups or people walking around,
maybe they’ve had something to
drink, maybe they’re over age,
maybe they’re underage. I don’t
know. I see them and 1 say, pardon
the pun, ‘Man, you’re sitting
ducks.’”
One of the most common triggers
for citations is an open container.
“We see a lot of young people
walking around on Friday and Sat
urday nights with beer bottles in
their hands,” Gilliam said.
An open container can be any
vessel without a factory seal. Bota
bags, flasks, re-corked wine bottles
and partial bottles of liquor all qual
ify, although enforcement of this
law is discretionary.
“If you’re overage and you get cit
ed for alcohol, you’re not paying at
tention,” Beutler said. “There’s no
reason to walk around with an
open beer. Make sure you have a
backpack with you. Don’t think you
can just put beer in your pocket and
then put your finger down in the
bottle because what’s going to hap
pen is when you remove your fin
ger, it’s going to spray beer all over
you. I speak from experience.”
There is absolutely no excuse for
driving drunk under any circum
stances. If you are a woman, you
can take advantage of Saferide. Oth
erwise, there is the Designated Dri
ver Shuttle available to men and
women. Both service are free to stu
dents. Take advantage of them.
While a drunk swaggering down
the sidewalk can be cute, that same
drunk behind the wheel is deadly
serious.
Be aware that you can also be cit
ed for Driving Under the Influence
of Intoxicants (DUII) while on a bi
cycle. This is a Class A misde
meanor that carries a maximum
fine of $565.
When it comes to parties, smaller
gatherings are generally safe, but if
you host a rager with an open front
door, live music and alcohol for
sale, you’re opening yourself up to
a world of hurt.
“I think you’re nuts if you have a
1 party in [the University] neighbor
s hood,” Koleszar said.
In most instances, a neighbor’s
complaint initiates the police re
sponse.
“Parties that are overflowing be
yond the capacity of the house are
i going to attract attention, and if
? you’re at one of those parties, you
can believe that at some point dur
ing the night, the cops are going to
* come,” said Sgt. Gilliam.
I If a patrol officer spots a large
party, but no one has complained,
\ they will actually seek out grumpy
neighbors, according to Gilliam. He
explained that the police “don’t
want to be the only people testify
j ing. We want a neighbor to say
' ‘Yeah, I was offended by it.’”
You must keep your neighbors
i on your side. Contact them ahead
* of time and notify them of your
plans. Give out your phone number
and tell them to call you first if
there is a problem. If they do'call,
take it seriously. Most importantly,
invite them. If they feel included,
they will be much more amicable
and less likely to ring up the fuzz.
In addition to issuing citations,
the police have the power to seize
“evidence” of noise violations,
such as stereos, speakers, instru
ments, tuners and just about any
thing else. This property is held in
the evidence locker until the case is
resolved, which could be months.
“It’s not done all that often,” said
Gilliam. “It’s discretionary with the
officer and most of the time, it’s
based on repeated calls back to the
same address.”
Keep as low of a profile as possi
ble. Keep doors and windows
closed to mute the noise. Designate
a smoking area such as the back
yard or a room to avoid a mob of
people hanging out in front of the
house. Turn off porch lights. Keep

Famous quotes about drinking
“A woman drove me to drink and I
never had the courtesy to thank
her.” — W.C. Fields
"I drink to make other people more
interesting.” — George Jean Nathan
"You can’t be a real country unless
you have a beer and an airline. It
helps if you have some kind of a
football team, or some nuclear
weapons, but at the very least you
need a beer.” — Frank Zappa
“Always do sober what you said
you’d do drunk. That will teach you
to keep your mouth shut.” — Ernest
Hemingway
“Work is the curse of the drinking
class.”—Oscar Wilde
“Time is never wasted when you’re
wasted all the time.”—Catherine
Zandoneila
“Without question, the greatest in
vention in the history of mankind is
beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel
was also a fine invention, but the
wheel does not go nearly as well
with pizza." — Dave Ba rry
“I’d rather have a bottle in front of
me than a frontal lobotomy.” —
Tom Waits
“All right, brain, I don’t like you and
you don’t I ike me—so let’s just do
this and I’ll get back to killing you
with beer.” — Homer Simpson

the alcohol out of the line of sight of
the front door. Beutler suggested
that you “put blankets over the
windows. If the cops can’t see any
thing, then there’s no probable
cause.”
As much as you might want, do
not get a keg.
“It’s an engraved invitation to the
police,” Koleszar said, noting that
the location of the party must be
given when picking it up from the
distributor or bar. “If you do buy a
keg, don’t be so silly as to lie about
where it is going to be or provide
false ID to buy it. Bad, bad, bad, bad
idea. You might as well jump into
quicksand.”
An EPD pamphlet, titled “Party
ing in Eugene,” suggests that “if
your party gets out of control, con
tact the police. We will come out
and assist you in regaining con
trol.”
Gilliam said that if the host calls
first, “then our policy is that we
will not enforce applicable laws
against the host of the party.”
So, one option is to keep a police
scanner in the house where it can
be heard, such as in the kitchen. If
you hear your address, get on the
phone immediately and ask for
help from the police. When they ar
rive, greet them with jubilant relief:
