EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Eugene authorities say they’re not getting the cooperation they’d hoped for in toning down parties in a neighborhood near the University of Oregon where things got rowdy as the fall term began.
Two weekends ago, officers used tear gas to break up an alcohol-fueled party west of the campus.
City and university officials then went door to door to talk to renters about being good neighbors.
But on Friday and Saturday police dispersed crowds in the same area before things got out of hand. About 60 citations were issued for underage drinkers or for carrying open containers of alcohol in public.
