Ike’s bar Music for the masses faces charges Five Eastern students involved in events leading to complaint By Christy Kilgore City editor

Ike’s bar is facing a 10-count charge filed by the city, claiming the local bar’s employees allowed minors to enter the establishment and purchase alcohol there on March 26. Five Eastern students, all minors, were involved in the events surrounding the complaint. The charges include one count, each for all five of the students, for minor frequenting a licensed establishment and one count each for sales to a minor. License holders of Ike’s, 409 Lincoln Ave., are Deanna McIntyre / Photo Editor scheduled to admit or deny the charges at an initial Terry Dean, program director for the radio station, 92.1 “The Party,” is on air playing some of their popular music, which 76 percent of hearing at 10 a.m., Wednesday in the City Council Eastern students listen to.
