®hr Daily uar Hfri LICENSES FROM PAGE 3 Brown, R-Jones, a member of the Department of Transportation appropriations committee. “The states will make a decision that will be informed by the federal legislation," he said. “I don’t think there’s any question about that.” North Carolina law doesn’t allow illegal immigrants to drive, but the standards for proof of legality are low enough to allow illegals to obtain licenses easily, said Jeff Lungren, Sensenbrenner’s spokesman. Hawaii, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin have comparably lax laws. Utah fit the bill until Wednesday, when it approved tougher restrictions for licenses. Under state law, noncitizens have to show legal status such as refugee status or temporary stay in order to get a license. But North Carolina accepts a taxpayer code as proof of this status, which allows people to circumvent the system. New policy should include ways to track immigrants once their temporary status has expired and KEGS FROM PAGE 3 Dale Pratt-Wilson, a local parent who has led a charge to reduce teen drinking, said kegs are a popular source of alcohol for local teens. “Because it’s a low-price, high volume product, (kegs) are popular with young people,” she said. But others disagree. “It’s my understanding that’s not how teenagers get their beer,” said council member Mark Kleinschmidt. “It’s usually ... get ting a six-pack at a time or who can steal a bottle of liquor out of their parents’ liquor cabinet.” Michael Finegan, student body vice president at East Chapel Hill High School, echoed Kleinschmidt's opinion. “They are not very prevalent at all,” he said of kegs. “About a tenth of the alcohol consumed in high school is from kegs.” Council member Dorothy Verkerk added that she thinks keg registration is an invasion of privacy. “If you start registering kegs, you start tracking people’s personal choices,” she said. Both Verkerk and Kleinschmidt said that in order to support the registration proposal, they need to see evidence proving that such invasion of privacy is warranted. But Ward said the benefits out weigh the costs. “It’s a very important piece of legislation,” he said, citing 23 states and the District of Columbia that have similar laws. Chapel Hill police Chief Gregg Janies said the benefits of keg reg istration would do more than just curb underage drinking. “I think it relieves the concerns of the merchants who sell or lease kegs,” he said. Larry Trollinger, owner of Ken’s Quickee Mart, at 133 W. Franklin St., said he thinks the proposal would make people think twice before buying a keg for minors. While Trollinger declined to comment on his average weekend keg sales, Saleem Saleh, a supervi sor at Key Food Mart, at 325 W. Rosemary St., said his store sells about 10 kegs on a typical week end. Saleh said he records custom ers’ names, along with their driver’s license and telephone numbers, when they purchase kegs. University seniors JelFEisenberg and Matt Gers said that in other states, kegs are tagged with a label that can be easily removed. “The idea is good, but the actual way of going about it isn’t,” Eisenberg said. At their Feb. 28 meeting, council members will discuss which legisla tive proposals including Ward’s keg registration idea will be for warded to state legislators at their legislative breakfast March 4. Sen. Elbe Kinnaird, D-Orange, said she thinks Ward’s proposal would be well-received in the leg islature. “There are people out there who are very concerned about the trag edies resulting from the misuse of alcoholic beverages,” she said. Kinnaird said parents and com munity leaders most likely would catch the ears of legislators. “When you have two groups coming together, (the legislation) might get a good shot.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

The federal legislation won’t refuse illegal immigrants the ability to drive, Lungren said. States could give illegals driving permits instead of licenses. Tennessee and Utah do this, but it’s not clear whether North Carolina will follow suit. N.C. Sen. Phil Berger, R- Guilford, a ranking minority mem ber of the DOT committee, who has introduced a bill with strict require ments, said allowing illegals to drive encourages violation of the law. “I think the Department of Homeland Security would have problems with states that encour age that,” he said. Two other bills, less strict than Berger’s, already have been intro duced to the legislature, Berger said, one with bipartisan sponsorship. Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston, vice chairman of the transporta tion committee, said he thinks letting illegals drive but denying them access to legal indentification strikes a fair balance and allows them transportation for working. “That’s reasonable,” he said.
