East Lansing police for the second consecutive weekend didn't issue any citations under the city's stiffened policy on noise.

The two-week pause on violations that call for a minimum of three days in jail and fines of up to $1,000 comes after 11 people were cited during the first two weeks of the policy.

East Lansing police Lt. Kim Johnson said it was the calmest weekend this fall in which the city hosted a home football game.

As trouble in the city declined, gameday arrests on campus dropped to unprecedented lows this fall.

"It was a pretty easy weekend," he said.

Police arrested 34 people during the weekend, while issuing 51 appearance citations. Most of those are alcohol-related violations.

On Sept. 2, East Lansing City Council approved a policy designed to deter noisy parties. The ordinance was a response to complaints from students and permanent residents, who said they were tired of the loud weekend parties.

The policy created a party-noise statute with civil infraction and misdemeanor consequences.

Officers and city leaders have attributed a decrease in loud parties to the month-old policy. A total of four parties have been cited under the ordinance.

Johnson, though, says it is "too early to tell" how effective the ordinance will be.

"You still have Homecoming and the Michigan game," he said. "We'll take it one week at a time."

After averaging about 60 arrests per game during the first three home football games, MSU police arrested just 11 people during Saturday's home game.

MSU police added more portable bathrooms outside in an effort to reduce some of the gameday problems.

"It was a little bit cooler, the game was earlier in the day and the additions of the port-a-johns probably played a role in it," MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said.
