The Observer looks at the status of bars that lost their liquor licenses and are now non-alcoholic I n F o c u s establishments. A bi-weekly feature from The Observer News Department This Week: Underage drinking and the alternatives Freshmen attribute underage drinking to lenient policy

By MATT BUNDA News W riter

Many of the students drinking on Notre Dame’s campus are underage. Students, at least many underclassmen, pack into dorm rooms with loud dance and rap music or in a calmer setting with couches and quieter music with people talking; no matter what the scene, drink­ ing alcohol is usually involved. Cases of inexpensive beer often are shuttled into dorms, supplied by upper­ classmen as people begin to arrive and sign in for dorm parties, which constitute many of the underage drinking on cam­ pus. Rooms are emptied out, strobe and black lights are hung near the ceiling, and students prepare for the evenings’ festivi­ ties. Many students host their own par­ ties, or make the rounds to several parlies in different dorms, often drinking a new drink at each party. Freshman Tony Carney is familiar with the situation. Carney’s room is commonly used as the party room for friends in the dorm. The parties are well-supplied and well-attend­ ed, and Tony is a willing and magnani­ mous host. But Carney is an exception to the rule: lie doesn’t drink. “I don’t have to drink to have fun, but if other people want to drink to have fun, that's cool," he said. “I am more interest­ ed in people having fun. People are drink­ ing, but they’re not being stupid and throwing up and getting sloppy, they’re dancing and having a good time.” Freshman Mark Stralka said modera­ tion is key. “It’s there, available, fun, and it loosens you up.

German woman sues for slave-labor wages

HAMBURG Ignoring a court recommendation, the city of Hamburg on Tuesday refused to pay com­ pensation to a 72-year-old Polish woman who was forced by the Nazis to work for the city. The woman's lawyer, Gerd Witte, said he would challenge the decision. The Hamburg Labor Court recommended in August that the city pay the woman, identified only as Stanislava R., the equivalent of $6,970 for the hours she labored in a kitchen for two years until Germany’s surrender in May 1945. The court said it could only recommend — not order — the payment since the woman had no proof she had worked for the city. While the city refused to pay, members of the city assembly collected private donations totaling $2,895 to be paid to the woman, who is in poor health. Sixteen major German compa­ nies are in negotiations to establish a fund for former slave laborers.

China drops interest in Panama Canal

.WASHINGTON The Clinton ad m in istra tio n sees nothing to indicate that the Chinese have any desire to control the Panama Canal, a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday in response to con­ gressional concern about a Hong Kong-based company’s management of canal ports. “It's an issue within the Panamanian government’s control and one that we look at and do not consider to be a security issue or a security threat to the United States at all, ” Adm. Craig AFP Photo Quigley said at a Pentagon news conference. Two East Timorese nuns comfort each other Tuesday, during a memorial service for nine murdered Timorese Panamanian officials also have dismissed civilians, two of which were Roman Catholic nuns.

S o a p O p e r a C o l u m n ‘Roswell’ is alien to teen TV

By CHRIS ROBERTS Associated Press W riter

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Imagine you’re a teen-ager and you don’t know who your parents are or where you came from. That’s a ton of teen angst. It wasn’t enough for the creators of “Roswell,” who have upped the ante. So, imagine all the above plus one more thing — you’re an alien. V But, rather than relying on the “Star Wars” approach of fantastic creatures and cutting-edge special effects, “Roswell” (premiering 8 p.m. tonight on the WB) is a star-crossed teen-age love story with an otherworldly twist. The show is scheduled in the slot that follows the popular “Dawson’s Creek” and matches the teen appeal of WB shows like “Bully the Vampire Slayer.” “It is a wonderful metaphor for teen-age alienation,” said executive producer and script writer Jason Katims (“My So-Called Life”). “As teen-agers, we all feel like aliens and some of us as adults (feel that way) too.” While the show may be saving money on special effects, it is spend­ Photo courtesy of NBC ing some on the music.

Set in Roswell, N.M., but filmed near Los Angeles with Roswell Daily Record newspapers in the racks, “Roswell” borrows ‘Days’ builds up to heavily from the fabled high- desert crash of a UFO.

By TIM CASEY Sports W riter

Thus far this season, Irish players have been chastised as not being able to win close games. Bob Davie’s play-calling and coaching ability has been criticized. Allegations of academic fraud and possible NCAA violations have called into question boundaries never before crossed in Irish history. But for a week, at least, the Irish could forget about the distractions and set their sights on the rest of the season. “I think this open date really did come at a good time,” Davie said at Tuesday’s press confer­ ence. “It can be beneficial to our football team.” ' Most weeks’ emphasis is set on preparing for Saturday’s opponent, but last week gave Davie and his staff a chance to work with players indi­ vidually. Instead of worrying about Drew Brees or the Michigan defense, Davie was able to focus the attention on skill development and basic technique. “It gave us a chance to practice without worry­ ing about a game plan,’’Davie said. “So much of what you do in college football these days is try­ ing to match up and trying to keep up with your opponent. “Last week, we had a lot of time to spend just on individual technique and individual funda­ mentals. I think we really needed that as a foot­ ball team,"he added. Davie also stressed the importance that the off- week had on resting coaches and players — both physically and emotionally.

Recharging for Oklahoma Two contributors on offense will return this week against Oklahoma. Tailback Tony Driver, who suffered a torn left shoulder muscle and flanker Joey Getherall (right shoulder separation against Purdue) will both look to add a spark to the offense. On defense, safety Ron Israel (right ankle sprain against Purdue) and Ronnie Nicks (left ankle sprain against Michigan) are likely to be JEFF HSU/The Observer back for Saturday. Tailback Tony Driver, shown here against Kansas, has recovered from the shoulder injury he suffered against “Make no mistake about it, these last three Michigan State and will be in the Irish lineup on Saturday. see FOOTBALL/page 17
