Food In security

cover s t o ry

Food insecurity has grip on college students M egan Hays S taff R epo rter @ o co lly

This time of year, as the walk to class gets colder and the stress of final projects and last-minute tests hits like a tidal wave, money gets tighter for Oklahoma State students.

Students have to make bursar payments to enroll in the spring semester, and their meal plans begin to run out of money. For some students, that tighter budget means making a choice between staying in school and eating enough food.

Forty-eight percent of college students are at some level of food insecurity, according to the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness website.

The United States Department of Agriculture categorizes households that are food insecure as varying from “low food security” to “very low food security.” Both have reduced quality and variety in their diets, but “very low” food secure families tend to have reduced food intake and disrupted eating patterns.

Udaya DeSilva, an associate professor of animal science at OSU, and other university staff have been working to find solutions to student hunger on campus.

With students’ academic careers and their overall health on the line, DeSilva and other advisers are working to provide resources to their students such as stocked mini-pantries available in their offices for

students. DeSilva also steers students toward Our Daily Bread, a food and resource center in Stillwater.

“I have been exploring if we can do something about it university wide,” DeSilva said, “OSU policy is that we support Our Daily Bread, one of the organizations inside of town. Rather than having something parallel here, we support (Our Daily Bread), and the OSU bus goes there. We try to send them (food insecure students) out there.”

DeSilva said during his college years, he was lucky enough to not worry about food. When he came to OSU as a professor and adviser, he noticed some students, such as one homeless man he advised, were struggling.

“We get to know our students pretty well, and this happened way a few years back,” DeSilva said. “I noticed on the Star System, that a student had spoken to someone at the LASSO Center, didn’t necessarily tell me, then I found out that he was homeless, living in a church outside of town, and he hadn’t really eaten much.

I noticed that he looked worn out. I organized it so instead of coming here (to DeSilva’s office), I said ‘Let’s meet at the library cafeteria, and let’s talk there.’ That way, I could offer him some food without him feeling bad about it.”

Although poverty does cause food insecurity and hunger, many students are not homeless but have jobs to support themselves as they work through school.

Forty-eight percent of college students are at some level of food insecurity, according to the NSCAHH website.

Some students take the late shifts so they can go to school during the day, but this can be difficult if some of those shifts end at 8 a.m. and a student’s first class is at 9:30.

“I had a lad in a class a few weeks back where he worked restocking shelves,” DeSilva said. “He got off at 8 am, went to the gym, took a shower and came to my class at 8:30, and that’s hard.

I teach at 8:30 in the morning. He’s there, but he’s not there.”

Fifty-six percent of foodinsecure students reported having a paying job, according to the NSCAH website.

Of those employed students, 38 percent worked 20 hours or more per week.

Even with some income flowing in, many students have to make bursar payments, pay rent and cover other necessary expenses, leaving little money left for food.

It is easy to brush off the college lifestyle as late-night essay writing sessions while eating Ramen noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but people are slowly realizing college students’ poor diets are a big problem.

California State University surveyed 1,300 students in 2015 and found almost half of the undergraduates surveyed reported having some food difficulties. A third of the students in need had trouble studying due to their hunger and their GPAs showed it: those students had an average of 3.1 compared to the 3.4 GPA average for students without food problems.

Becky Taylor is executive director of Our Daily Bread, which opened its doors about two months ago and has served more than 2,000 families. Taylor said Our Daily Bread is no ordinary food pantry.

“The four things that make a food and resource center different is that we are client choice, so guests come in through our doors, and they have access to a full grocery store,” Taylor said. “They get to choose the items they want to feed their families.

“Another thing is that we emphasize fruits and veggies. The population we are serving is disproportionately affected by poor health because calories are cheaper than healthier foods. We

OCOLLY.COM

always send guests home, if they want, an abundance of fruits and veggies.”

The other two differences the accessibility of Our Daily Bread, which has 17 shopping sessions each month, and the resource center that will be added soon and will include cooking classes as well as financial aid and resume building classes.

Although Our Daily Bread serves many families, Taylor said she is unsure how many college students receive aid from the organization.

“A lot of times, there is a stigma attached to receive food from a food bank,” Taylor said.”Whenever I’m giving presentations or we’re writing articles, I hope to come to really share that the environment here is really different than a food pantry. It is set up like a grocery store.”

Taylor said she wants to lessen the stigma attached to receiving food from a food bank or a food and resource center such as Our Daily Bread.

“We do have an intake process where we need to get someone’s information before they can have access to our shopping floor,” Taylor said. “We hope to reduce any barriers that may stop a college student from receiving access. Based on the income guidelines, many college students can qualify for food.”

There are many hungry students on campus, but others have more money on their meal plans than they can spend. Instead of forcing

some students to waste their leftover meal plans, Taylor recommends for students to use their meal plan money to buy food from on-campus grocery stores and donate it to Our Daily Bread.

“We take donations,” Taylor said. “We can’t take cooked food or prepared food, but we do take things like granola bars, cereal boxes, ramen noodles, soup, peanut butter, all of that.

Even household products like toilet paper, feminine products and paper towels.

We go through those things very fast here because they are expensive in the store.”

The first step in solving many issues is recognizing they are problems.

People have realized student hunger is a problem, so the next step is implementing solutions, from spreading the word about resources available to making food donations or volunteering.

“I think that we always think that other people need help,” Taylor said. “It’s different when we finally say, ‘Oh, well, I’m actually the person in need of help.’

That’s why we want people to come through our doors and even volunteer here as much as possible to see that we are just the same people needing food assistance and the people helping those who need food assistance.

We could be switched in those positions at any point.”

Former Puerto Rican secretary of state speaks at OSU, describes Hurricane Maria’s effects Se th M cCas k il l Staf f R epo rt er @o c olly

Hurricane Maria left all of Puerto Rico without power for weeks, and many are still without it.

Jose Izquierdo-Encarnacion served as Puerto Rico’s secretary of state from 2004 to 2005 and spoke about the hurricane’s effects Tuesday night at Oklahoma State’s Wes Watkins International Business Center.

Izquierdo-Encarnacion explained the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Maria from a first-person perspective. He said the Federal Emergency Management Agency is still in the emergency stage of recovery efforts.

“They are still serving

one million meals per day,” Izquierdo-Encarnacion said.

“They’re serving one million liters of water per day, so they are still not into the recovery phase.”

Izquierdo-Encarnacion said 250,000 homes were Seth McCaskill/O’Colly destroyed in the hurricane.

and Izquierdo-Encarnacion said he thinks it is important for those celebrities to bring attention to this issue.

“Every helping process is good for the island and particularly the issue of getting awareness of what’s going on”, Izquierdo-Encarnacion said. “…Several entertainment artists that are very famous from Puerto Rico like Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, etcetera, they were talking about the real problems of Puerto Rico, so they were able to gather millions of dollars.”

He also pointed out that global warming could be part of the reason the region saw several massive hurricanes in 2017.

“We have to understand that there’s only one planet,” Izquierdo-Encarnacion said.

“It is not an issues of whether it is United States, whether it is Europe, whether it is Africa or China. We have to take the actions, and the treaties that are made, the last one the president signed was good for the U.S. OK, let’s work hard and make one that is good for everyone, but we need to stop heating the world.”

Izquierdo-Encarnacion provided OSU students and faculty with his perspective and an in-depth look at Hurricane Maria as he encouraged more people from the U.S. to contribute to the relief effort.

Murder on THe Orien t Express

L i f e st y le

Review: ‘Murder On The Orient Express,’ fast-paced, sleek ride that derails at the end B r a den Fo s t er S taf f Repo rt er @ BFosterOS U

Agatha Christie’s classic novel “Murder on the Orient Express,” published in 1934, is Hercule Poirot’s most famous adventure. While only adapted once before in 1974, the book has been adapted again, this time directed by and starring Keneth Branagh. The mystery of a murder on a train stuck in a snowy mountain pass is one of the most famous detective stories ever told and serves up twists and turns throughout.

The 2017 adaption, however, is a frustrating retelling of the story. The movie could have been so much better if it only took the time to do it, and instead we get a decent, but flawed, 114-minute film. It just fell flat in a few areas.

The movie begins with Poirot solving the case of a missing religious artifact, and we see his detective skills at work as he masterfully unwraps and solves the mystery in a few minutes. The opening scene sets the tone of the film, which is fast-paced and sleek, moving from one clue to the next with dizzying speed. While the clues and mystery overall isn’t hard to follow, the speed at which Poirot moves is quite fast, and gives the feeling of Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes” movies in its pace.

When Poirot and his

gigantic mustache are called to a case in London, he boards the luxurious Orient Express train for a 3-day ride through the mountains. After meeting all 13 passengers, Poirot settles in for what would seem a normal journey with interesting characters. When a passenger is murdered and the train derails, however, his relaxing journey becomes a race to find the culprit.

The actual mystery of the story is the central part of it. While the ending of the story is probably one of the most famous and spoiled twists in history, for those who haven’t seen or read the story before, it is an entertaining one. Each clue, event, flashback, and character propels the

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2017

mystery further into the past, and each passenger has a piece of it. I won’t spoil the end for those who don’t know it, but it is a unpredictable twist indeed.

The cinematography stands out beautifully in this movie. The shots of the train steaming through Istanbul at sunset are gorgeous, and the mountain pass covered in snow looks bone-chilling on the big screen. Creative camera angles make the cramped train cars seem huge, and shots that can last up to a minute ratchet up the pace. The scene of Poirot boarding the train is almost a minute and is all one take, and stands out in my mind long after it was over. All in all, the movie is shot extremely well.

While music is often an overlooked part of movies, it is nonetheless as important as cinematography and the script.

You won’t forget John Carpenter’s classic “Halloween” theme after you see it, but you will forget this soundtrack. It is so boring it hurts, instead of taking advantage of the 1933 setting with classic music from the period, the soundtrack settles for basic movie music that sounds like it was taken off of SoundCloud. At some points, the music was so cheesy that even the 1974 movie sounded better, and I thought the scenes where no music was present were infinitely better than the scenes with it.

The acting in this movie is astounding,

OCOLLY.COM

which might be its saving grace. Keneth Branagh is amazing as always, Daisy Ridley shows she is a brilliant actress, Johnny Depp and Judy Dench are marvelous, and even Michelle Pfeiffer steals some of the show. For every amazing actor there is an amazing performance.

No amount of classic story, great cinematography and Oscar-worthy acting can surmount the paramount problem in the film: lack of development.

The mystery is twisting and confusing, but the pace of the movie blows right through each clue without letting the plot breath. Instead of trying to figure the mystery out yourself, you just have to wait five seconds for Poirot to do it for you.

The book is famous for this, as its length allows you to ponder each intricate detail as it is presented. In the movie, each scene feels rushed for the sake of keeping it under 2 hours.

In most “Who-dunit” movies or books, the clues are right there the whole time. When you get to the end, your hunches are either right or wrong, and it tends to blow your mind a little along the way. My favorite example is “The Prestige,” where the twist of the movie is so obvious it hurts upon re-watching, but it is initially mysterious and fun to wonder at. Sherlock Holmes is the best example of this, where the clue presented throughout the story all come together

satisfyingly at the end, wrapping up each little detail with a nice bow.

These are things “Murder on the Orient Express” does not do. There are three characters that I completely forgot about because such little time was spent developing them. Instead, they were brought in for one little detail before they are shuffled back into their cabins until the end of the film. The entire solution to the case is related to an event that happens five years prior to the beginning of the film and seems random when the end rolls around. Instead of giving the viewer all the clues and watching Poirot figure it out, the viewer is told a story and expected to adapt.

While I do have my grievances with the movie, I would say it is an entertaining, fastpaced watch that delivers the classic detective case with style and amazing performances. Most people will love it, but the feeling that this movie could have been so much more will linger long after the credits start to roll. Keneth Branagh delivered an OK movie that derails after thinking about it, and it really begs the question: why did this movie get remade?

Cowgirls get second win in dominant fashion Gabe Cam p is Staf f R epo rter @O c olly

The teacher still knows best.

The Oklahoma State women’s basketball team beat Wichita State 91-67 Tuesday in Stillwater, as OSU coach Jim Littell bested his former player and Shockers’ coach Keitha Adams.

Littell coached Adams during his first coaching gig at Oxford High School in Oxford, Kansas, before coming to OSU in 2005.

Adams had been the coach at the University of Texas-El Paso before joining Wichita State

before this season.

Kaylee Jensen and Loryn Goodwin combined for 43 points, and the Cowgirls hit 10 3-pointers to blow past WSU for their second win on N7 Native American Heritage Night.

Experienced and confident players coming off the bench is something the Cowgirls lacked last season, but in the first two nonconference matchups in this campaign, that looks like old news.

Six bench players totaled 33 points, with freshman Braxtin Miller leading that unit with 13 points. This came after bench players had

44 points in OSU’s first game against Incarnate Word on Friday.

Jensen led the Big 12 in scoring and rebounding last season, so she won’t be a surprise to teams in her senior

season, but the arrival of graduate transfer Loryn Goodwin from the University of Texas-San Antonio has given OSU another offensive threat.

Goodwin led all scorers with 24 points to go

with seven assists, six rebounds and five steals as the starting point guard.

OSU led 55-33 after the first half, shooting about 65 percent, as Goodwin and Jensen each had 16 at the break.

The second half had a similar flow as Goodwin kept getting to the rim and causing havoc on defense to help her new team close out the win.

Falling to 0-2, the Shockers struggled to defend OSU but did put up a fight on offense as Aingee Tompkins had 19 points and Rangie Bessard notched 17.

OSU moves on to face University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley at 7 p.m.

Friday in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
