Law update protects drunken 911 calls BY MICHAEL AUSLEN mauslen@indiana.edu @MichaelAuslen

An expanded Lifeline Law will soon grant Hoosiers increased immunities when they call 911 under the influence of alcohol. The legislation, which passed the Indiana Senate and House of Representatives without opposition, builds on existing protections to grant immunity from prosecution for underage individuals who report medical emergencies or crimes they witness. The current Lifeline Law only applies to medical emergencies caused by alcohol consumption. “It expands your protections if you’ve been using alcohol or drugs and you’re reporting a medical SEE LIFELINE, PAGE 6

FROM IDS REPORTS

The Bloomington Police Department is investigating a ring of child pornography distribution among students at Bloomington High School North. School administrators contacted the BPD on Feb. 25 reporting a student had photographed herself in the nude and shared the pictures among friends via her cell phone, BPD Sgt. Joe Crider said. By Wednesday police had received 14 different reports of child pornography being distributed at the school. SEE CHILD PORN, PAGE 6

On a night dedicated to IU’s four seniors, Nebraska’s 70-60 victory against the Hoosiers Wednesday spoiled their home farewell to the upperclassmen and effectively ended the team’s hopes of earning an NCAA Tournament at-large bid. “First of all, I do hate to lose, and I hate tonight,” senior forward Will Sheehey said in the opening of his post-game speech on Branch McCracken Court. After trailing by as many as 11 points, the Hoosiers tied the game midway through the second half when a wideopen Sheehey knocked down a 3-pointer from the left wing. For the second consecutive game, freshman forward Noah Vonleh was sidelined with inflammation of his left foot. In his

absence, the Hoosiers couldn’t find an answer for Nebraska sophomore Walter Pitchford. Pitchford — a 6-foot-10, 234-pound forward — scored Nebraska’s first nine points and finished with a team-high 17 points on 7-for-10 shooting. His biggest shot of the game was a 3-pointer in the final two minutes of the game that gave the Cornhuskers a 62-58 lead and proved to be the dagger. “The mistake late of leaving Pitchford baffles my mind to be honest with you,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “How we can make a mistake there in a switch game late like that in the game.” Sheehey said it bothered him that the Hoosiers left opponents open. “There was a stretch there where the other guys hit a bunch of threes,” he said. “That was unacceptable.”

70-60 The Hoosiers’ struggles weren’t limited to the defensive end. On offense, IU shot 36.7 percent from the field. Crean said the bottom line in the Hoosiers’ loss was that they didn’t shoot well enough. “When we moved the ball well and kept it moving from side to side, we were really hard to guard,” he said. “We just didn’t do it enough.” Sophomore guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell said the team’s game plan against Nebraska’s zone defense was to get into the middle and drive. However, IU’s offense became stagnant at times and the Hoosiers struggled to finish at the rim and to shoot from behind the arc. They were 5-for-21 from SEE GOODBYE, PAGE 6

Safety program, IUSA may ‘Beauty and the Beast’ to open at Auditorium separate BY ALYSSA SCHOR aischor@indiana.edu @SchorAlyssa

Culture of Care might become a separate organization from IU Student Association at the end of this year. The possible transition was discussed at IUSA’s most recent executive meeting. An organization aimed at promoting safety and well-being on campus, Culture of Care was started through IUSA and has been a part of the student government since the 2011-12 school year. “We’re kind of at the point where it’s self-sufficient,” sophomore and Culture of Care co-chair Andy Braden said. “It’s at the point where it can stand on its own.” Vice President of Administration Chris Kauffman said the IUSA executives have been meeting with members of Culture of Care and SEE IUSA, PAGE 6

The IU Auditorium will be host to Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” at 7:30 p.m. today and tomorrow. Tickets are available at $20 for students and $38 for the general public. The musical, based on the 1991 Disney film of the same name, tells the story of Belle and her encounter with the Beast, who is actually a prince cursed because of his selfish behavior. The Beast has a limited time to learn how to love others, or else he must remain a hairy monster, and his servants must stay as the household objects into which they were transformed. The stage version of “Beauty and the Beast” features all of the movie’s music by Alan Menken and lyrics by the late Howard Ashman, with songs added specifically for the musical. Menken composed the music to these new songs and Tim Rice wrote the lyrics. The show made its Broadway debut in 1994 and ran for almost 5,500 performances before closing

in 2007. Maria Talbert, associate director of the IU Auditorium, said in an email that “Beauty and the Beast” is special because it appeals to audiences of all ages. “This production is visually stunning, deeply heartfelt, and in-

credibly charming,” she said. “Everyone connects so strongly with this tale because we all want to be loved for more than what is on the exterior.” She said audiences will have a great experience, particularly if they haven’t previously seen the

show on stage. “It is a joy to watch audience members light up when they see this show for the first time,” she said. “We expect to see a similar SEE BEAST, PAGE 6
