A NEW LEASE ON LIFE FOR ACCESS

BY K.RAMBO @iowastatedaily.com Nearly 20 people are physically abused every minute by a spouse or partner in the U.S., according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

A domestic violence shelter in Story County is working to provide crucial resources to survivors of domestic violence. ACCESS, or Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support, has served the community since 1974 and opened their first shelter in 1981.

ACCESS, which also serves Boone and Greene counties, recently made a change to a shelter model that has been gaining traction globally.

Since ACCESS altered their shelter model, the results have been objectively positive.

ACCESS began the transition to scattered site sheltering, which are self-contained housing units, as the core model of their operations in July 2016. ACCESS is one of the first domestic violence shelters in the state of Iowa to operate a scattered site model but is part of what former executive director Angie Schreck described as a “movement” towards a progressive shelter model.

“When I first joined the agency, back in the fall of 2014, our shelter services looked very traditional,” said Virginia Griesheimer, interim executive director of ACCESS. “We had a large 18-bed facility and we had staff space mixed in with shelter space.”

Scattered site shelters differ from traditional shelters by allowing those within the shelter to have more control over security and their general living environments. While scattered site sheltering is not entirely uncommon, it has rarely been utilized for survivors of domestic violence and abuse.

“The conversation started when the state of Iowa changed the funding model for victims’ services,” Schreck said. “They decided not to fund as many shelters and they cited a lot of approved research that said that victims don’t need to be, basically, institutionalized.”

Schreck said that oftentimes, when a victim is placed in a traditional shelter model, they end up working on social issues within the group they are now living with rather than being able to focus on themselves. Scattered site shelters are typically individual units that allow a survivor to feel a sense of independence and security while addressing tumultuous life circumstances that include poor financial standing and strain in personal relationships.

Most of those sheltered by ACCESS are low-income people. From July 2015 through June 2016, 69 percent of resident clientele at ACCESS had a monthly income of less than $1,000.

Those at ACCESS had been considering the change for some time and a group from the greek community approached ACCESS to purchase the building they had been using. ACCESS agreed to make the sale which forced them to expedite the process of transitioning.

“We sat down, myself, the previous executive director, and our current operations director, and tried to kind of set out a plan of what we wanted this new model to look like,” Griesheimer said.

“We had all read a lot of best practice articles on scattered site sheltering, sheltering that had less, for lack of a better word, supervision built in, something that was a little bit more empowering, a little bit more independent.”

SARAH HENRY/ IOWA STATE DAILY

He speaks, she speaks Speaker Zoey Shipley listens during a Student Government meeting on Nov. 29 at the Memorial Union.

BY ALEX.CONNOR @iowastatedaily.com As an elected body, Student Government is not immune to gender disparities.

SARAH HENRY/ IOWA STATE DAILY Senator Norin Yasin Chaudhry listens during a Student Government meeting on Nov. 29 at the Memorial Union.

In an analysis of the 14 Senate meetings this fall that measured the amount of times voting-members spoke, the Daily found that despite there being almost as many women on the Senate as men, 16 to 19, male senators spoke at a much higher rate than that of their female counterparts.

At one meeting, for instance, men comprised 52 percent of the Senate yet spoke 82 percent of the time — a trend consistent throughout several other Senate meetings during the semester.

Additionally, the Daily found that while speaking privileges among the male senators were more evenly dispersed, it was the same women — who were also more veteran senators and often in a leadership position — that routinely spoke at each meeting.

However, the analysis does not take into consideration the length of the speaking privileges nor the substance of what was said within that period, or the work senators have done within the committees they are a part of.

Speaker Zoey Shipley, who has been involved with the Senate for the past two years, said she wasn’t surprised by the percentage of times men spoke compared to women.

“That’s why I’ve stressed speaking to female senators and to try to create a group environment for women to come together and talk more. I have seen it as

a huge issue,” Shipley said. “It does reflect a lot of what I expected for the semester.”

Addressing diversity and inclusion has been an ongoing effort within Student Government and campus as a whole.

Last year, there were only seven female senators out of 34 in total. After the March elections, 13 female senators were elected out of 37 in total. However, with some senators resigning over the summer, the number of women dwindled to nine at the first Senate meeting.

Over the course of the fall session, seven female senators were seated to Student Government bringing the total number of women to 16.

“A huge advantage for women, specifically last year, was that there were a lot of senior members who had more experience on Student Government,” Shipley said. “I don’t know if women spoke more than they are speaking now, but there might have been a little bit more speaking by women because there were more senior members.

“We lost a lot of great voices last year.”

Shipley, due to her role as speaker and experience as a seasoned senator, spoke at every Senate meeting that she was in attendance and oftentimes spoke more than any of her female colleagues.

At a Senate meeting toward the beginning of the semester, Shipley spoke five times. Only two other female senators spoke at that meeting and they did it just once each. As more Senate meetings passed, however, more women began to speak more frequently.

At a meeting in late September, women made up 46 percent of the Senate and spoke 36 percent of the time — the highest percentage of the session.

Shipley attributed some of the hesitance on the female senators behalf to speak during meetings to the topic of debate, such as finance.

“I don’t talk a lot during the finance bills unless it is making sure that the student groups are prepared and represented,” Shipley said.

Student Government authored 76 pieces of legislation this fall with 34 bills relating directly to finance. Of the 36 finance bills, 34 were authored by men.

The finance legislation authored by women related to internal Student Government matters such as funding food for its town hall or posters relating to addressing sexual violence.

Many speaking privileges granted to men were due to the sheer fact that they authored the legislation and were asked questions regarding the bill.

“I think it comes off [Senate] as sometimes a ‘Boys Club’ and specifically a white boys club. Half of our chief officers are white males named ‘Cody.’ That speaks volumes,” said vice speaker Cody Woodruff. “We have to be conscious of that fact.”

However, Shipley and Woodruff are optimistic of what next semester may bring — a more representative Senate and more experienced senators.

“I don’t have a solution. It’s just continuing to try, and hopefully — here on campus and in society — we can start to break down those barriers. We are seeing that slowly but surely. It’s too big of an issue for [the] Iowa State Student Government to solve,” Woodruff said.

ACCESS found a landlord within Story County that was able to lease them units that fit their ambitious goals — three units with differing levels of staff-involvement and responsibility.

When people initially contact ACCESS, they are asked about preferences for housing and the amount of staff involvement they would prefer.

“It depends on where people are in their healing, it depends on the severity of abuse that they are coming out of, but at least now we have options to offer people,” Griesheimer said.

“I think that in itself gives them a greater sense of ‘okay, well, I get to decide how I flee and where I flee to now,’ which is really important.”

The unit with the most staff involvement, referred to as the “staffed unit” which Griesheimer likened to their former model, operated with staff members who answer the door, operate security and are present at all times. The unit with the second most staff involvement, the “semi-staffed unit,” was located close enough to the staffed unit so clients had access to staff when they needed, but could choose to be without staff when they felt comfortable doing so.

The biggest difference between the two units is that the less staffed unit allows clients to have a key and operate their own security.

The third, “unstaffed unit,” was located miles away from the other two units and staff are only available by appointment or as-needed.

Again, clients here have “full-control over the keys” and are responsible for operating their own security.

“That was a huge change. I think we had a few partners who were a little bit skeptical of what that would look like,” Griesheimer said.

“Some folks who have been part of the anti-violence movement and who have been involved in sheltering services for a long time, there is this kind of belief that clients need supervision, they need full access to staff.

“What we found as a result of this transition is that’s not the case.”

Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, said that at almost every level of government the first step toward a more equitable and representative governmental body is getting more women to run for office. It begins, she said, by simply asking.

“The big thing for women at Iowa State that I see, and I see in women in general, is that they don’t run for office. The biggest thing is encouraging women to run — and I think that does need to be peer-to-peer,” Bystrom said.

By operating a scattered site shelter, ACCESS was able to compare and contrast the results from the three varying levels of supervision and responsibility. What they found was that following the transition in 2016, clients who exited the shelter to permanent housing from the fully-staffed unit was 30 percent lower than clients leaving the semi-staffed unit.

Clients leaving the unstaffed unit were 10 percent more likely to enter permanent housing.

Griesheimer said that before the transition, surveys from clients indicated that they wanted more independence and more control over their space.

“They want to be able to kind of feel empowered to make decisions for themselves. This was a great way for us to actually put that into practice,” Griesheimer said.

While ACCESS has 12 beds in their current shelters, six less than the traditional model had, they were able to shelter 42 more individuals in their first year as a scattered site shelter, a near 44 percent increase. This is largely because the average length of stay for the unstaffed space was 19.7 days and the average length of stay overall for the traditional model was 35 days.

“We wanted to have what felt like individual options but still wanted to capacity to shelter the significant numbers that need sheltering,” Schreck said.

According to Schreck, ACCESS’ ideal outcome is to provide support services so victims never need to enter a shelter and they offer a bevy of other services. ACCESS provides 24hour crisis lines, counseling, support groups, community education and various advocacy services including information and referrals for legal, medical and social service needs.

For Shipley, however, she knows firsthand how intimidating it may seem to run for political office — as she, too, had to be asked to run for speaker.

“I think there is always going to be that back of the mind voice telling women that they cannot run because of what is happening in society, so until there is a huge societal change — I think women are always going to have that voice … saying ‘I don’t think so’ or ‘That doesn’t sound like something for me,’” Shipley said.

She’s excited, however, for the continued progress she sees Student Government making.

A career opportunity has presented itself but you’re feeling cautious, Gemini. Consider the benefits it will bring you and go for it.

Feelings for a past relationship are reforming and distracting you.

Remember why the relationship didn’t work and move on, Libra! Someone special and even more deserving of you is out there waiting.

It’s OK to ask for help when you need it, Scorpio. You have the resources to fix a problem, you just need some guidance. Remember, you have got plenty of willing resources to help you, whether it may seem like it or not.

A financial boost is coming your way, Sagittarius. Get that thing you’ve been eyeing, you deserve it! A little self indulgence here and there is good for the soul.

Negative thoughts are making you pessimistic about a certain goal.

Take note every time you think negatively and turn it into a positive. You know that you’re capable of this goal, Capricorn!

A recent change in paths has you questioning whether or not you made the right choice. Trust your instincts and keep with it, Aquarius. Positivity is key.

A new relationship, romantic or not, is pushing you out of your comfort zone in a good way. Continuing this relationship will bring you joy and new opportunities. But don’t forget to focus on school work!

Hangover Guide Tuesday, December 5, 2017 Iowa State Daily

BY PAIGE.STEPHENSON @iowastatedaily.com

advertising supplement 09

Chances are that if you’ve ever had an unforgettable night out on the town with your friends, you know hangovers all too well. You also probably remember saying “I’m never drinking again,” and then proceeding to break that promise the following weekend. If this sounds like you, you probably don’t want to miss out on the fun. Plus, who can pass up all the specials offered at Perfect Games?! Here are some common hangover myths that have been debunked by Health Guide.

MYTH

“Chose diet cocktails- you’ll save calories and feel better tomorrow.”

MYTH

“I’ll grab a coffee to get rid of that hangover!”

MYTH

“Go take a cold shower, that’ll snap you out of it.”

MYTH

“Here, I brought you some ibuprofen. Take it and you’ll feel better.”

MYTH

“Come on, let’s go grab brunch. I’ll buy mimosas, you have to keep drinking to fight the hangover.”

MYTH

“I’m on my way to the gym to try to get rid of this hangover.”

MYTH

“We HAVE to stop for a Super Dog or get a pizza so we’re not sick tomorrow!”

MYTH

“You’re a girl, you’ll never get a hangover. Just drink it!”

Wrong! Research shows diet drinks get you drunk faster from the fewer calories, as it allows more alcohol into the bloodstream.

Please, don’t. Coffee and caffeine contain diuretics which will contribute to the dehydration you are already experiencing the morning after. Stick to Gatorade or something high in electrolyte content.

Sadly, your body temperature is already low from the alcohol and a cold shower will make what you’re feeling worse.

Ibuprofen or aspirin will only contribute to the pounding headache you already have. It won’t help with vomiting, cold sweats or any other hangover symptoms. It increases acid in the stomach and doesn’t help rid the alcohol at all.

Wrong again! While keeping the pace may prolong symptoms, avoiding the inevitable hangover and continuing to drink alcohol won’t stop what’s coming your way.

Save it. This won’t help either. According to the Department of Health, physical activity will only increase the body’s fluid making it worse.

Actually, skip it. You must have food in your body before the drinking begins for it to consume any of the alcohol.

This is where manner comes into play and you kindly decline the fifth shot. Men have more water in their bodies which allows them to dilute the consumed alcohol.

There you have it! Be a smart drinker!

EDITORIAL

Tax bill harmful for graduate students The recently passed House version of the tax bill decreases taxes for the 50 to 60 Iowans (most of whom are not farmers or small business owners) who pay estate taxes, but increases taxes for more than 3,000 ISU graduate students who receive tuition scholarships/waivers by treating those scholarships as earned income.

Perhaps Republican House members have forgotten, or never considered, the many reasons we, at a university of science and technology, need to encourage graduate studies.

Here are just six reasons why this tax bill is harmful to graduate students and our university as a whole.

We struggle NOW to recruit excellent graduate students.

We need them for a strong future in research and development, which drives our economy.

Many graduate students planned on non-taxable tuition waivers in order to make ends meet.

If students cannot earn a living wage for work that is vitally important to the future of the U.S., they will go to other countries to further their education.

Many students - particularly in engineering - come to graduate school from industry, motivated by a commitment to teaching because they believe they can better serve the public in that role. Why penalize idealistic students who want to contribute to the greater social good?

When faculty are awarded grants, the university charges what are called indirect costs to cover administrative and other operating costs of running the university. Indirect costs are typically over 50 percent of the total amount of the contract.

Without graduate students, Iowa State will not have personnel to carry out the research work promised in grant applications, and will lose the substantial operating revenue grants provide.

The loss will curtail professors’ research agendas, students’ research training, ISU’s research reputation and decrease our university budget.

Other countries are already ahead of the U.S. in their investments in research and development. Making graduate school

COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA COMMONS The Editorial Board argues that the recently passed tax bill negatively impacts graduate students by forcing them to pay more money they may not have.

unaffordable will put us behind in other technical areas and diminish our ability to compete.

The Senate version of the tax bill passed early Saturday morning with no hearings, no time to read it and many last-minute scribbled marginal comments. It does not make tuition scholarships taxable, but the outcome of reconciliation between the House and Senate versions is completely unpredictable.

Both Iowa Senators said they support tuition scholarships remaining non-taxable, but neither has committed to that being a deal-breaker. In fact Sen. Chuck Grassley said clearly he’ll vote for the final bill that emerges even if it does make those scholarships taxable.

What do the senators’ votes say about their priorities?

LETTER

Possible errors with College Football Commitee

BY ERIC SCHULTZ senior in accounting Before I start, I want to let it be known that I do, in fact, believe that Alabama is deserves to be in the top four. I believe that the College Football Committee has got it correct.

However, I also believe that both me and the committee could be dead wrong.

I believe that there is a strong possibility that UCF could be the “champions who never got the chance”. This is because if history has taught us anything, it has always been apparent that human error exists.

Whether it is with stocks or weather forecasting or even guessing which team will win it all, humans are typically wrong more times than we would like to admit, especially when picking four teams out of more than 120 in the nation.

I look at how bad Ohio State got creamed last year and remember the “what if ” scenarios from the BCS era in-

volving TCU (2011), Boise State (2007), and Utah (2005 & ’09) and I look at UCF this year. I wonder if in the future if the Iowa Hawkeyes have an off year and everybody in the Big 12 beat each other up, if the weak strength of schedule would cost ISU a spot in the playoff.

It is clear that the high probability of human error and a clear lack of criteria when determining teams is evident with the College Football Playoff Committee.

It is literally impossible to pick the top four teams based solely on opinion yet this is how the NCAA does it. Undefeated teams are not given a chance prove they are worthy. UCF cannot improve its strength of schedule because Alabama and Auburn would rather play teams like Mercer than chance it with UCF. To improve the playoff system, there has to be criteria for eliminating teams and for guaranteeing teams in the playoff (like conference championships). The human element can still play a role for seeding purposes and for tie-breaking

on who gets in but the bottom line is there needs to be something because the probability of human error is very high, especially with just four teams.

Last semester I tried to pass a resolution in Student Government. My colleagues ripped into me about how it was a complete joke.

I will admit that it was a bit poorly written but rather than help improve it, I was told that “sports related stuff is a waste of time” (compared to the funding bills for sports clubs and a resolution asking for BYU to be excluded from the Big 12).

I am writing this because I care for the students on the football team. I am taking action and asking for improvements to a system because I do not want to see ISU or anybody else snubbed because of a weak schedule.

Think about it. If Wisconsin was on the outside looking in for most of the season, who is to say the same will not happen to ISU?

BASKETBALL

Searching for a post Kristin Scott, Meredith Burkhall and Bride Kennedy-Hopoate in the running

BY NOAH.ROHLFING @iowastatedaily.com The more things change, the more they stay the same.

It’s no secret that the Cyclones women’s basketball team has been searching for post depth for years now.

This season, there was hope that it had finally arrived, especially in the pre-season. Junior Meredith Burkhall, after being on her own for nearly two years, was now one of four options on the interior.

But how are they faring so far? With Iowa State off to a disappointing 3-4 start with losses to UNI and Central Michigan, there have been plenty of offensive areas in which the Cyclones have been inconsistent at best. The Cyclones have a turnover-to-assist ratio of 1.21-to-1 this season, and the three main post options (Kristin Scott, Meredith Burkhall and Bride Kennedy-Hopoate) are currently shooting a combined 41.73 percent from the field.

With that in mind, let’s dive into the stats and see how each of Iowa State’s posts are performing seven games in.

Meredith Burkhall: One of the team leaders heading into the season, Burkhall has had mixed performances this year.

Through the first six games of the season, the Urbandale native was one of only two players to start each game, alongside star junior guard Bridget Carleton.

However, she is only averaging 20.1 minutes per game. Part of that is likely due to the competition for playing time, but after the Vanderbilt game Saturday, she is averaging just 6.9 points per game, 1.1 points lower than last year’s average.

Fennelly has mentioned the lack of post scoring often this season.

“We’re not scoring,” Fennelly said before the Missouri-Kansas City game. “We have to get that cleaned up.”

Burkhall has only taken one 3-pointer all season, and her production has mostly come from post-ups in the low block.

She is shooting 47.5 percent on 40 shots, taking an average of

CHRIS JORGENSEN/ IOWA STATE DAILY Iowa State junior Meredith Burkhall shoots during the first half against UMKC on Nov. 20.

5.7 shots per game. That number is part of a trend, as since her freshman year, when Burkhall took 8.13 shots per contest, her shot attempt numbers have gone down each year.

Her field goal percentage is three percent higher than her numbers last year, but still short of the national average. Burkhall is only averaging 4.7 rebounds per game, coupled with three games this season in which she grabbed less than four boards.

“We know our performance hasn’t been acceptable,” Burkhall said before the UMKC game. “We need to value the ball.”

Bride Kennedy-Hopoate: The JUCO transfer from Brisbane, Adelaide, Australia, by way of Hutchinson, Kansas, has been in and out of the starting lineup this season as Fennelly tries to find his best combination. The junior has had ups and downs, with the low coming in a 10-minute outing against Missouri-Kansas City.

Kennedy-Hopoate has averaged 6.4 points per game and has been consistent on the offensive end. In three of the Cyclones’ seven games she has scored exactly six points, but her efficiency has taken a dip and she is shooting 47.1 percent from the field. Limited minutes haven’t helped those numbers, but her production has been sound.

One might point to Kennedy-Hopoate’s low rebounding numbers (5.3 per game) as a disappointment, but she’s averaging less than 17 minutes per game, so these numbers average out to 12.77 per 40 minutes.

The more concerning stat is the foul trouble that Kennedy-Hopoate has often found herself in. The only two games in which she has had less than three fouls were against Tulane and Drake, and she fouled out against Vanderbilt. Given her limited minutes, her propensity to foul could cause problems later in the season, especially if she takes on a larger role.

Kristin Scott: A breakout performer at times for the Cyclones this year. The freshman has jumped at the chance to make an early impression on Fennelly, and has found herself rapidly becoming the top post option for Iowa State this year.

An inside-outside threat with a smooth jump shot, she has

showcased versatility and confidence generally not found in a true freshman.

Fennelly points to her impressive rebounding numbers as the main reason for her rise up the depth chart. The freshman, who Fennelly said has been battling a back injury recently, is averaging 8.1 rebounds per game.

Through the first six games of the season, she was one of only five freshmen in the country averaging over nine rebounds.

“She’s very active,” Fennelly said. “She has good anticipation.”

“She’s the best rebounder on our team.”

Scott’s shooting numbers have not been as sterling, though.

Through seven games, the Kasson, Minnesota, native is shooting 30.6 percent. That number is in large part due to Scott going 5-for-31 over her last four appearances. This includes a 1-for-10 stretch from behind the 3-point line.

Despite her recent struggles, don’t expect Scott to stop shooting.

“If you don’t shoot, you’re never gonna make one anyway,” Scott said.

Claire Ricketts: The senior center from Parker, Texas, has played sparingly this season, averaging only 3.5 minutes per game.

Final Thoughts: The Cyclones’ posts were the subject of lots of hype before the season began, and deservedly so.

After seven games, though, it’s not too difficult to see that the performances have not lived up to expectations.

Fennelly, after a tough loss to Drake in which the posts went 5-of-16 from the floor, had a blunt assessment of their current performances.

“Our post game is…. fill in the blank,” Fennelly said. “We’re not good right now.”

The Cyclones have been primarily a perimeter-based team for years now. Carleton and senior guard Emily Durr are making sure that trend continues. But with a young, inexperienced team and a constantly changing lineup, the Cyclones have struggled to find their groove as a whole.

The posts have been no exception.

S E I V O M s v S For most book lovers out there, when a movie adaptation is made from one of their favorite books they feel one of two things: worried that it won’t amount to the books greatness, or excited to see how the director set up the movie and brought their favorite characters to life.

So, what makes a good book-to-film adaptation, and what does “good” even mean in this context? The number one factor that makes a book-to-film adaptation good is the amount of faithfulness the film adaptation has to the book. Obviously, if a reader loved a book and decided to go see the film, they

15

BY ALLISON.MARTYR @iowastatedaily.com

would most likely be wanting to see what they loved about the book come to life on the screen.

This includes, keeping the same plot line as the book and adding major details, though small twists the director adds to the film can be quite enjoyable.

The second factor in whether a book-to-film adaptation is good, is honestly just personal opinion.

There have been many popular book series that have turned into film adaptations that became blockbusters within a few days or even hours, and are largely viewed all over the world.

A few examples of these being the “Harry Potter,” “Narnia,” “The Hunger Games” and “Divergent” franchises.

Depending on personal values, likes, dislikes and personal view of the world, opinion over certain books and movies alike will differ.

Some people love reading, some do not.

This also plays a large part in liking the book or movie better.

Maybe the movie won’t be good, but by not reading the book before or even after watching the movie, you will never get to choose a side.

Now lets take a look at some famous movie “flops.”

One common film adaptation I found to be on many books into “not so good” movies lists was, “The Scarlett Letter” (1995). The novel of the same name was published in 1850 by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and is considered to be his masterwork.

When the movie was released in 1995, it

quickly saw negative reactions. According to Wtop.com, actress Demi Moore “...simply couldn’t carry the role of Hester.” According to Avclub.com, “The Scarlett Letter” film adaptation, “widely reviled a happy ending for a book that pointedly lacks one.”

Another film adaptation that has had a rough go is “Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief ” (2010). The novel was published in 2005 by Rick Riordan, and was an instant success, winning many awards including topping The New York Times “Children’s Best Sellers” list. When the film adaptation was released it saw many mixed reviews. On Metacritic.com the film recieved an average score of 47 out of 100 and it didn’t do much better on IMDB, with a score of 5.8/10.

These are only two of the many book-to-film-adaptations that have been known as “flops.” A few more films include: “The Great Gatsby” (2013), “Eragon” (2006), “Twilight” (2008) and “Cat in the Hat” (2003).

All of these films failed to garner the same praise that their paper-bound counterparts did years earlier. This brings us back to the age-old question, why can it be so difficult to adapt a popular book into a film?

So if you have any down time during the holidays and aren’t sure what to do, challenge yourself by reading a novel that has a film adaptation, and compare the two.

Even going back and reading a favorite classic and then watching the film, I’m sure you will catch something you never noticed before.
