Wadley Despite police and community worries about parties getting out of control, police reported "very tew problems ' with party-goers over the weekend. "It wasn't bad at all," Capt. Tom Votava, assis- tant city police chief, said yesterday. Police and city officials had been worried that parties would get out of control because of the cancellation of Springfest. a University/city-spon- sored party which was to have taken place toward the end of the semester. City police records show that 11 complaints for loud parties, loud music and excess noise were received for Saturday night and Sunday. Votava said that there were "five or six" complaints received Friday night. This is down by half from the same weekend last year, when police responded to 38 loud-party com- plaints. Of those, 12 had been related to Springfest, according to police records. The absence of Springfest may have contributed to the decrease in the number of incidents reported. Lt. David Weekly of the University's Department of Public Safety said that there were several fights and disturbances reported after Springfest last year. CITY POLICE gave out eight citations for viola- Biking, singing, tions of the open-container law, compared to 26 last year. Littering violations were down, with four this year and 11 last year. All of the littering violations this year resulted from a person dropping an open kicking up a storm container of an alcoholic beverage on the ground to avoid an open-container citation.
