MEQUON, WI (AP) -- Students in this Milwaukee suburb celebrated graduation by revisiting the raucous revelry of "Animal House" at a restaurant and volleyball sandpit owned by an actor from the 1978 movie.

But, their celebration got them in a whole lot of toga trouble and ended when police were called and 18 teenagers were cited for underage drinking.

The police report on the incident said the party at the Libby Montana restaurant owned by Mark Metcalf, who played the campus ROTC commander in the movie, and in its adjacent Volley Dome, a metal building which houses three sand volleyball courts, was hosted by parents of a student from University School of Milwaukee.

Metcalf said the partygoers brought their own alcohol and were not served it by restaurant staff.

Police reports said that the toga-clad youngsters caused a disturbance in the parking lot several times during the May 27 party and the restaurant staff tried to get them back into the Volley Dome but finally called police.

Officers rounded up about 75 of the young people and lined them up along a wall of the Volley Dome for breath tests, according to a police report.

Police Sgt. Tony Restivo said his department has issued more than 30 underage drinking tickets at a time at parties held at private homes, but he said the 75 breath tests given at Libby Montana might set a record.

Those cited for underage drinking were 16 to 18 years old and came from a variety of Milwaukee-area communities.

"For almost all of them, it was the first time they were that close to a uniform and a weapon that wasn't pointed at a deer," Metcalf said.
