'Minor' beer buy
Underaged male decoy fares well in store purchases
BY MARY FRANCIS
LIFE Editor
Nine of 13 area stores sold alcohol to at least one
of two underage decoys in a recent CM LIFE
investigation.
Marcia McDonald. 19, and Mike Scrivano. 20,
attempted to purchase alcohol at various stores.
Scrivano (birthdate: 7/2&'66) bought at nine stores,
but McDonald (birthdate: 10/26/67) only was sold to
at three stores.
Three stores — Nick's Wagon Wheel Party Store,
Countryside Deli-mart and 7-Elcven on Mission —
sold to both decoys.
McDonald and Scrivano used their own untam-
pered Michigan driver's licenses as identification.
They also did not attempt to persuade store
employees to sell them alcohol once they had been
refused.
All but one of the nine stores that Scrivano bought
at requested his ID, but sold to him anyway.
However, McDonald only was successful when her
ID was not requested.
The stores visited and the results follow.
7-Eleven Food Store. 808 S. Mission: Both decoys
were able to purchase alcohol here April 3.
At 7:20 p.m., McDonald bought a quart of Miller
beer, and her ID was not requested.
Scrivano, however, was asked for ID at 6:08 p.m.
and after looking at it, the clerk still rang up the
purchase of a six-pack of Busch beer.
A manager from this 7-Eleven declined comment
Thursday.
Cheers Party Store, 102 Pickard: Both McDonald
and Scrivano were unsucccessful here on April 3.
McDonald attempted to buy a quart of Budweiser
beer at 5:50 p.m. but was refused after being carded.
Scrivano, as well, was refused after the clerk
checked his ID. He attempted to purchase a six-pack
of Busch beer at 5:57 p.m.
Perry Drug Store, 2133 S. Mission: Scrivano,
yes. McDonald, no.
At 6:48 p.m. April 3, Scrivano bought a six-pack of
Bud Light in the rear of the store near the
pharmacy. The clerk did check his ID.

Six of nine area bars served alcohol to at least one of two underage
decoys in a recent CM LIFE investigation.
Mike Scrivano, 20, and Marcia McDonald, 19. attempted to purchase
alcoholic beverages in various Mount Pleasant establishments.
Scrivano (birthdate: 7/28/661 was served in five bars, but McDonald
(birthdate: 10/26/67) only was served in one. None of the bars served
both decoys.
Both Scrivano and McDonald used their own Michigan driver's
licenses as identification and did not persist if they were told they
could not buy alcohol.
Neither decoy drank any alcohol he or she was served.
The bars visited and the results follow:

The "Sigma Phi Ni" sign came
down, but residents at 414 S.
Lansing say they're still an active
group.
City ordinances required the
residents, who are not a
University-recognized fraternity,
to remove letters from their
outside walls.
The six men who live in the
house built a sign during fall
semester with the words "Sigma
house, much like fraternities and
sororities.
City Building Inspector Bill
McCracken said the city has an
ordinance regulating where signs
can be erected. He said the Sigma
Phi Ni house is in a residential
area where signs cannot be taller
than 12 inches.
"I wouldn't have a problem with
them putting a smaller sign up, as
long as it conforms with the
ordinance." McCracken said.
McCracken said the men would
not have had to remove the letters

CMU may acquire additional dunesland after
President Arthur Ellis meets with a conservation
official today.
CMU has until April 30 to accept a $300,000 grant
from the Michigan Land Trust Fund lo be used
toward the purchase of the Kitchel Dune Preserve in
Grand Haven. The approximately 40-acre dunes-
land currently is owned by the Lansing-based
Nature Conservancy.
Ellis said Sunday he'll meet today with Tom
Woiwode. Michigan director of the Nature Conservancy.
The dunesland is adjacent to the 60-acre Connie
Lindquist CMU Dunesland CMU preserves the
dunesland, and sometimes uses it for scientific
research.
The Kitchel Dunes is a "heavily-wooded dune"
while  the  dunesland  CMU   currently owns  is  a
"scruffy, fore-dune area," said Lynn Fauver, director
for  the   CMU   Center   for   Cultural   and   Natural
History-
But if CMU isn't interested in dunesland, others
are.
Leon Stille, mayor of Ferryshurg, said his city
would be interested in the both the CMU dunes and
the Kitchel dunes.
"We understand CMU is no longer interested in
keeping the dunes because of the distance and lack
of ability to do more with them," Stille said. "A_s I
understand it. CMU has asked other people, being
the city of Grand Haven in particular if they would
be interested in them."
However Ellis said CMU is not involved in
dealings to get rid of the Lindquist dunes.
"Everyone else is talking about it but us," Ellis
said.
Stille said if Ferrysburg became custodian of the
dunesland, which is adjacent to the city, it would

reps slated for
issues debate;
protest planned
World diplomats will debate
international issues today on
campus — and protests still are
scheduled before a South African
representative's speech.
Several United Nations
representatives and other guest
speakers will attend the three-day
Conference on United Nations
Affairs. The 16th conference, titled
"Struggle for Power and Security:
Cooperation or Conflict," begins
today in the Bovee University
Center.
The scheduled speakers include
South African Ambassador Albert
L. Manley. Manley is scheduled to
speak at 3 p.m. today about
"Prevailing Situations ir. South
Africa: A Briefing," in the UC
Auditorium.
Before Manley speaks, the
Mount Pleasant Coalition Against
Apartheid plans to demonstrate
against Manley's visit, Coalition
member Vince Prygoski said.
Prygoski, Wyandotte senior,
said in an earlier interview protesters plan to distribute leaflets and
carry signs denouncing South
African apartheid in front of the
Bovee University Center today.
"We want to call attention to the
fact that a representative of
apartheid is on campus, and we're
very opposed to it and the fact that
someone of our faculty has invited
him here." Prygoski said.
Coalition member Vernon
Schubel said the group is
protesting because Manley will
not be participating in any discussion with black African representatives.
Other diplomats who oppose
apartheid — South Africa's
system of racial separation — also
are scheduled to speak Tuesday,
not Monday with Manley.
Schubel compared the separa-
tion of the black ambassadors and
Manley to the separation of races
in South Afnca.
"The conference is segregated
like the South African segregation
of the blacks," said Schubel, assistant professor of religion.
"(Manley) is being given a free
platform to speak without being
confronted," he said.

Han   could   not   be   reached  for
