Goose’s Nest bar, 1003 Notre Dame Ave., was the target of a massive police raid at approximately 11:45 p.m . Saturday night. South Bend Police, including plainclothes vice squad m em bers and In­ diana State Excise officers were involved in the raid, term ed by some observers at the scene as the largest in recent years. South Bend Police confirmed yesterday that nobody was a r­ rested in the incident, however. 1 he “ word” had been out across the Notre Dame--St. M ary’s cam puses late last week that local bars would be “ safe” Friday and Saturday nights because of the presence of visitors for Jun io r P aren ts’ W eekend. Liquor Control Au­ thorities had other ideas, how­ ever, and the timing of the raid found a standing room only crowd of underage patrons inside the Goose’s Nest. A vice squad officer at the scene who refused to be identi­ fied, said at least 189 people under the age of 21 were “ napped " in the establishm ent at the time of the lightning quick raid. Police worked by a process of elimination, allowing only those with 21 identification to leave th e e s ta b lis h m e n t th ro u g h heavily guarded exits. Finally, only the minors rem ained in­ side. For a tense half hour, it was unclear w hether there would be mass arrests, especially after w e’ve decided not to take anyone.” The sam e vice squad officer indicated at the scene, how­ ever, that 30-35 minors had been identified and cited for violation of underage drinking laws and would face court appearances. No nam es were released. He also indicated that the Goose’s Nest would be cited for selling alcoholic beverages to minors. It was an eerie scene outside the bar as a large crowd gathered. Many worried s tu ­ dents who had been released a lter showing proof of age or who had escaped being trapped stood outside wondering about the fate of friends still inside. “ I have a roommate and a couple of good friends in there, ” one worried Notre Dame student said as he stood in the cold evening air. “ 1 had just gone out for a breath of a ir ,” another student said, “ and when I got back, the (police) had the doors blocked. A couple of my friends are still in th e re .” 1 he crowd outside, at one point estim ated at between 150-200 people, at times be­ came restless, shouting catcalls at police, then chanting: “ We don’t need no regulation/ No more raids at Corby’s ‘or Goose’s--Hey coppers leave us kids alone” to the rhythm of the title cut of Pink Floyd’s album, IfW/. At one point, there was some talk among m em bers of the mob, suggesting that the crowd rush police lines if students CARHY OUT IN REAR
