THURSDAY, JULY 10, 2014 THE INDEPENDENT DAILY NEWSPAPER FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA COMMUNITY SINCE 1868 DAILYIOWAN.COM 50¢ Swimming in health Alcohol panel mulls bar spill-out The downtown community searches for ways to clean up the 10 p.m. spill-out. By TING XUAN TAN [email protected] Underage patrons leaving the bars at 10 p.m. may not be as large of an issue as originally perceived. At University of Iowa Partnership for Alcohol Safety meeting on Wednesday, many topics were brought up, but the main area of discussion was the 10 p.m. spill-out from bars. In the large cities, huge crowds leaving is not a problem, but in downtown Iowa City, there may be a small-town mentality, said Shelly Campo, a UI associate professor of community and behav- ioral health. She said people think the crowds should not happen, except at Hancher events. “I think that there is a little bit of bias about you know, [when] peo- ple aren’t allowed to have fun and leave in large groups,” Campo said.
