Alcohol laws stay the same Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6
Indiana is one of 12 states where one cannot purchase alcohol on a Sunday, one of eight states where bars and restaurants cannot hold alcoholic happy hours and is the only state that monitors the temperature of alcohol when sold. Despite the apparent extremity of the state’s alcohol laws, it seems none of these rules are about to change. Every year, there is a push in the legislature toward what Rep. Tom Dermody, R-LaPorte, describes as a “common sense approach to improvement in the alcohol industry.” This year, Dermody is leading that push with House Bill 1386 and House Bill 1399. The first, which the House Public Policy Committee will vote on Thursday, would allow bars and restaurants to offer happy hour specials as long as multiple drinks are not sold for the price of one. Dermody said he is happy the topic will be discussed but admitted it is unlikely the measure will be passed due to the potential dangers that accompany happy hours. “I think Indiana looks out to be protective of Hoosiers, especially when it comes to drinking alcohol,” he said. “There are a lot of concerns about enticing someone to drink a lot of SEE ALCOHOL, PAGE 10

SPEA BREAKS GROUND By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu @emanmozaffar
Students, faculty and staff marched, celebrated and applauded their way to the IU Auditorium in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs’ groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday for the Paul H. O’Neill Graduate Center. The graduate building, which is set to open in 2017, will be an addition of 34,000 square feet to the original SPEA construction. A host of offices, meeting rooms and collaborative spaces, primarily intended for graduate affairs, will free up some of the congestion in the SPEA atrium.
At the beginning of the procession, crowds gathered in the atrium to warm up, mingle with one another and drink complementary coffee and hot chocolate. Shortly thereafter, attendees walked across the street to gather at the foot of the stairs by Wells Library to take a group photo. “The goal was to get everyone fired up about our future plans,” said Jim Hanchett, director of marketing and communications at SPEA. “It’s about making a large event that everyone can attend and have a part in.” Dean of SPEA John Graham, Executive Associate Dean Michael McGuire and Associate Dean for Faculty
Affairs Kristen Grønbjerg posed at the front with their shiny and commemorative shovels. The group walked to the IU Auditorium in order to match the “Forward Together” theme of the procession. After filing into the hall, they listened to the words of IU President Michael McRobbie, Provost Lauren Robel and Dean Graham. “As we break ground for the O’Neill Graduate Center, all of us look forward to a facility that will help SPEA’s students and faculty make important and lasting contributions that will strengthen our state, our nation and our world,” McRobbie said.
SPEA graduate students Daniel Esposito and Yasmine El-Gohary also provided brief speeches for the event. Esposito and El-Gohary celebrated the prospects of the new building and spoke of how the space will be used to improve the futures for the school and its students alike. “We admire and applaud Mr. O’Neill for his public service, his corporate leadership, his advocacy and his philanthropy,” Esposito said. “As we watch the O’Neill Center go up, let’s be reminded of what it looks like to contribute to something bigger than ourselves.” The ceremonial groundbreaking also took place at

Wisconsin halts IU’s winning streak at 12 games, 82-79 Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri
On Jan. 5 in Assembly Hall, IU couldn’t take care of the ball — but the Hoosiers kept that from becoming the story when they pulled out a 1-point win against Wisconsin. Tuesday night, however, IU wasn’t able make up for its 19 turnovers, and the Badgers defeated the Hoosiers 82-79 in overtime. The win streak ended at 12, leaving Iowa the only remaining undefeated team in the Big Ten and marking the first time IU has lost since Dec. 2, when it fell to thenNo. 7 Duke. “We turned the ball over too many times, but all things considered, I’m proud of them,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “At the same time, there were too many mistakes made for us to win the game.” Despite a sloppy second half, the Hoosiers were able to keep it close until the end. Then, down by one with 1:13
to play, senior guard Yogi Ferrell hit a three to give IU its first lead since the 10:53 mark of the second half. When Wisconsin’s Nigel Hayes made two free throws to tie it, Ferrell scored a layup off a backdoor cut on the other end with just 23 seconds left. Hayes, who scored a game-high 31 points Tuesday night, made two more free throws with nine seconds remaining to force overtime. The Hoosiers struggled all night to find an answer for the Wisconsin star. In the final period, Hayes closed the game out shooting a perfect 6-of-6 from the line. “Hayes is one of the most incredibly gifted passers in college basketball,” Crean said. “He didn’t need to do a lot of passing tonight with the time spent at the foul line.” A lot of the things IU had done well over the past two SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 10 Senior guard Yogi Ferrell is fouled by a Wisconsin defender Tuesday at the Kohl Center.

IU Cinema to screen Japanese animated movie series By TJ Jaeger tjaeger@indiana.edu | @tj_jaeger
Lovers of Hayao Miyazaki will soon have the chance to watch his films on the big screen. The IU Cinema will show Miyazaki’s work alongside other notable Japanese films in the semester. The film series “Chimerical Cinema: The Fantastic World of Japanese Animation” is the cinema’s response to a heightened

interest in Japanese animation within the Bloomington community, said Brittany Friesner, associate director of IU Cinema. Some films to be screened throughout the semester include “Akira” on March 26, “Grave of the Fireflies” on April 4 and “Ghost in the Shell” on April 29. “Princess Mononoke,” the popular 1997 Miyazaki animated film, is starting the series 9:30 p.m. Jan. 29, at IU
Cinema. All films in the “Chimerical Cinema” film series cost $3 for entry. “After a very popular screening of ‘Paprika’ in Spring 2015 and a sold-out crowd for ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ in fall 2015, we decided to add an entire series of Japanese animation films,” Friesner said in an email. Like many Miyazaki films, “Princess Mononoke” is an animated fantasy. The
film follows Ashitaka, a young warrior, as he finds himself torn between nature and humanity. Miyazaki achieved international acclaim when his 2003 film “Spirited Away” won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Friesner, who programmed the series and selected all the films, said starting with “Princess Mononoke” was an attempt to excite the community
about the film series. “Hayao Miyazaki is time and again requested by patrons as a possible visiting filmmaker for the IU Cinema, so we knew his film would be among the most popular in the series and wanted to start off with a bang,” she said. Friesner said Japanese animation is an influential genre they felt needed to be showcased. “I think you would be hard
