Although Frank Rogers Day died in 1999, his vision lives on through his Luckyday Foundation, which continues to support deserving Mississippi students.

Day’s goal was to provide deserving high school students, who otherwise had little chance for attending college, with the opportunity to continue into higher education at a major university such as Ole Miss.

Director Patrick Perry believes that volunteering has many intangible benefits.

“The best part of my job is watching students grow into young professionals,” Perry said.

Each year, 75 incoming freshmen are selected to receive the Luckyday Scholarship and offered the chance to engage in community service.

The Luckyday Program promotes philanthropic effort throughout Northern Mississippi.

As a result of gaining access to an AmeriCorps VISTA, the program has been able to partner with several schools on various programs.

Amanda Bohl and Beatrice, her service dog and companion, battle Bohl’s panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia and dizziness on a daily basis. But that changed on April 7, when Beatrice was

assaulted on the campus of the elementary school in which Bohl has done her student teaching.

The attack caused thousands of dollars in damage and has left Bohl, a senior education major, without her companion and friend.

Bohl said Beatrice was attacked by a woman while sitting

under a small table. According to Bohl, Beatrice was not aggressive toward the woman, and in her efforts to get away, got caught on the legs of the table, further injuring her.

“When it was time for us to leave, I stood up and walked around the long table and when I was halfway around the table I

Oxford hosts inaugural pride parade this weekend DAWN BODDIE

thedmnews@gmail.com

The city of Oxford will experience its first pride celebration this weekend.

The inaugural Lafayette-Oxford-University Pride Weekend will be from Thursday, May 5 to Sunday, May 8.

The four-day event was established to create an inclusive and welcoming space for the LGBTQ communities of Lafayette County, Oxford and the University.

Organizers and sponsors of the pride weekend include UM Pride Network, The Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies and other student

groups.

The weekend includes various activities for everyone, with the kick-off of a dance party at 9 p.m. on Thursday at Proud Larry’s and a conclusion with a film screening of “LGBTQ Shorts: Struggles and Celebrations of Being Out in the Deep South,” sponsored by the Crossroads Film Society and Oxford Film Festival at 4 p.m. Sunday at Shelter on Van Buren.

Many different organizations, such as the Oxford Film Festival, have reached out to Starkey and expressed their wholehearted support and desire to be involved.

Oxford Film Festival also plans to do a float in Saturday’s Pride

Parade, which will start at 2:30 p.m. at the Ford Center parking lot and travel through Presidential Debate Way to University Avenue. The route will then go up to Lamar Boulevard, around the Courthouse Square and back to the Depot. All are welcome to march with the parade or walk alongside in support.

This weekend’s celebration is also occurring following the state legislature’s recent passage of the religious freedom House Bill 1523, which has been highly contested by the LGBTQ community.

Theresa Starkey, assistant director at the Sarah Isom Center

How much is media truly affecting us?

MIA SIMS

thedmopinion@gmail.com

Beyoncé just released a video album that portrayed an array of cultural topics. One of those topics was the degree of pain she felt after being cheated on by her husband.

When I saw on Instagram that the video was being released, I instantly downloaded Tidal, just to witness and praise the greatness of “Queen B.” (For those who aren’t aware, one of the owner of Tidal is Jay Z.) Without realizing it, I’d given into their marketing strategy. Sad, but worth it. With all of the controversial discussions going on about, “Why he cheated on her” you’d think someone would ask why he even allowed it to be released.

According to an article on Vanityfair.com, Jay Z knew every single song that Beyoncé THE DAILY

was going to release.

“Jay was involved in the creation of Lemonade and knew every song Bey was going to release,” a source close to the couple tells E!. “He knew the lyrics; he knew the implications. He had to approve the songs before release. . . Jay is all about self-expression, so he gets it.

Beyoncé shares music before it’s released with Jay so he can listen and share his thoughts.

When it comes to music, they are very in it together and supportive of each other’s craft.”

(Vanity Fair) So it’s simple. More drama equals more traffic. More traffic equals more money.

“Jay is a very smart businessman… Bottom line is that they are both really smart and they both saw dollar signs.” (Vanity Fair) This is so disappointing for people who consume themselves with all that the media

news continued from page 1 was referred to the Mississippi State Animal Health Care Center, where she was placed in the intensive care unit.

“The two-hour drive was brutal,” Bohl said. “Beatrice was uncomfortable and screamed every time we hit the slightest bump and there wasn’t anything I could do. When we finally got to State, Beatrice was taken in on a stretcher because we didn’t know what was wrong. There was speculation that this could be related to her arm or spinal damage.”

Beatrice spent three days in the intensive care unit after the vet recommended an MRI, which would cost around $2,500.

After adding up the expenses from Beatrice’s injury, Bohl set up a GoFundMe account to raise money for the MRI and additional veterinary bills.

Bohl said she is pursuing legal action at this time.

“Yes, legal action is necessary and it is being handled carefully,” she said. “However, what people need to know is that interfering or harming a service dog, or any dog, is wrong. That is much more important than any legal outcome.”

After leaving the ICU, Beatrice was sent home with pain and anti-inflammatory medication, as well as strict kennel-rest instructions.

“Over the next few days at home it was clear she was still in pain,” Bohl said. “I began seeking alternative ways to manage her pain. A good friend of mine recommended acupuncture and told me that the Bottle Tree Animal Hospital does it right here in town.”

The acupuncture relieved Beatrice’s pain significantly in a matter of hours. By the time of the acupuncture appointment on April 19, $2,200 was raised on the GoFundMe account.

The MRI results revealed various injuries including inflammation, edema and severe at-

rophy of the muscles on her left shoulder. She also suffered from a spiked fever after her MRI, causing lethargy and body tremors.

Currently, the GoFundMe page has raised $3,587 out of the goal amount of $5,500.

Bohl said Beatrice’s assault has been extremely difficult to cope with.

“I got Beatrice as a prospect service dog when she was just seven weeks old,” she said.

“Since then we have worked together on training with the assistance of personal trainers. It’s been a long, fun and rewarding process and I’ve had the privilege of watching her blossom from a curious puppy into a service dog with purpose.”

Beatrice assists Bohl in her everyday life, helping her carry items on command and acting as a guidepost when she becomes dizzy.

Getting around in the absence of Beatrice has been difficult for Bohl. Without her presence, Bohl has fallen in her house and forgotten to take her medication.

Bohl said it is difficult for people to understand how important service dogs are and the impact they have on their owners.

Interfering with the well-being of the relationship between a service dog and its owner could potentially be detrimental, she said.

“What many people don’t realize is it’s the little things a service dog does that make a big difference,” she said.

Beatrice has a long road to recovery. She will remain on kennel rest and medication for five to six weeks and will be continuing her acupuncture appointments to help with the pain.

Bohl said if Beatrice is spooked or frightened, it could worsen her condition, making her unreliable and forced into an early retirement.

“If Beatrice is forced into retirement, it’s not like I can go to the local pharmacy and pick up a shiny new service dog,” Bohl said. “You have to find another dog and restart the expensive and time-consuming process of training.”

PRIDE

continued from page 1 and gender studies instructor, acknowledged the recent legislature, but said the planning for LOU Pride Weekend started several months ago, well before HB 1523 gained widespread press coverage.

Since many people leave Oxford for the summer, LOU Pride Weekend organizers decided it should be celebrated before the end of the semester.

In the past, the celebration of Pride Week coincided with LGBTQ History Month and Coming Out Day in October.

Pride parades are also traditionally held in June to commemorate the Stonewall Riots of 1969, a series of violent protests by the LGBTQ community in response to a police raid that occurred on June 28, 1969, in New York.

“It is truly amazing to be holding the first Pride Parade,” Starkey said. “Something that started out as a kernel of an idea has evolved into something truly meaningful in light of the recent

continued from page 1 Partnerships have been made with Crenshaw Elementary, Green Hill Elementary and North Panola Junior High School in order to coordinate school supply collections.

Most recently, Ethel Young Scurlock, senior faculty fellow of Luckyday Residential College, connected with North Panola Junior High concerning projects to partner on in the future.

These projects involve mentoring younger students so they will aspire to attend college.

“Students that come from environments where the schools don’t have booster support or support from the parents are operating only on state funding,” Young Scurlock said. “These districts do struggle economically; however, they are rich in tradition, history and have so much to offer. Sometimes you just need that extra

legislation.”

The community has generated many positive reactions to this celebration, and organizers said they hope people come out and enjoy the events.

Jared O’Connor, graduate student in the English and Gender Studies Department and part of the UM Pride Network, said people who have been in the Deep South for a long time are apprehensive of change because of its religious implications.

“Pride Weekend is meant to show that Oxford is a progressive place both intellectually and

economically,” O’Connor said.

Although the Deep South has its own set of values, O’Connor said he hopes the community will band together to fix these problems and progress along with the rest of the United States.

Starkey referenced the University Creed when looking toward LOU Pride Weekend.

“I believe in the respect for the dignity of each person, and I believe in fairness and civility,” Starkey said. “When we all strive for these things, we make our community and ourselves better.”

boost and we are providing that.”

In the past two years, as a part of the initiatives coordinated by the McLean Institute and the North Mississippi VISTA Project, Luckyday Scholars have been able to visit with the students from participating schools and host them at the Luckyday Residential College for meals and tours.

Principals like Valeree Ellis-Barnes are thankful for the philanthropy offered by Luckyday.

“We are a critical-needs school,” Ellis-Barnes said. “A lot of students do come to us and lack motivation, so starting a conversation with Dr. Scurlock and her team helps us to motivate students to be thinking about college at an earlier age.”

Most at the Luckyday College

feel that Day would be pleased with current and future philanthropic efforts.

“Our students come from various socioeconomic backgrounds; however,” Ellis-Barnes said. “We teach students to not let where you come from define where you are going.”

What is Mental Health Awareness Month?

“

”

GRAPHIC BY: CAMERON BROOKS

Nearly 15.7 million adults had a major depressive episode in 2014, which is enough people to fill up every major league baseball and football stadium in the United States four and a half times.

HAILEA LAMER

May is the month of a number of things: finals, graduation and the start of four glorious months of freedom.

However, many may not know that May is also Mental Health Awareness Month.

Studies have shown that one in four people 18 and older lives with a mental disorder.

“Typically symptoms of mental illness manifest themselves between the ages of 18 and 24,” Debbie Woodrick Hall, community relations director at the North Mississippi State Hospital, said.

Anxiety is one of the most common mental disorders among college students.

According to Mental Health America, more than 21 percent of adults between 18-64 will be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in a given year.

That is more than 42.5 million people.

Anxiety can cause shortness of breath, heart palpitations or trouble sleeping.

They may also have exaggerated worries about everyday life, anticipation that the worst outcome to a situation will happen even if it is unlikely or rituals that seem im-

possible to control.

Individuals with anxiety have said that it feels like “everything is happening all at once” and “never being able to truly relax.”

“Common types of anxiety disorders include panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, phobias, etc,” Hall said.

“One of the best ways to tackle anxiety is to call someone you trust and ask them to stick with you through the anxiety attack.”

Another common disorder college students may face is depression.

Nearly 15.7 million adults had a major depressive episode in 2014, enough people to fill up every major league baseball and football stadium in the United States four and a half times, according to the non-profit Mental Health America Depression can cause feelings of extreme sadness or loneliness, increased irritability or trouble focusing. The mind isn’t the only thing affected.

Those with depression may have trouble starting or finishing everyday tasks, start to withdraw from social activities, feel constantly tired or have a change in their weight.

People have said that having depression feels like you are “drowning and no one sees it, and you feel helpless against the water around you”

or “all you want is to go home and just curl up and fall asleep forever.”

“It is extremely important for students to be aware of the signs of serious, or clinical, depression because this often leads to suicidal thoughts,” Hall said.

“Approaching a friend or fellow student who shows these signs and encouraging them to seek help is more often than not a life-saver for that person.”

Substance abuse and addiction is the third most common mental illness among young adults.

Those with substance abuse may have changes in personality, declining grades or a lack of motivation and energy.

When alcohol or drugs are abused, it can often lead to depression or other mental illnesses.

“Because symptoms of mental illnesses often start to manifest during the college years, it can be frightening to the young adult,” Hall said.

“Rather than seeking professional help, the student will often turn to alcohol and drugs to self-medicate. This combination of mental illness and substance abuse is dangerous, because the two feed off each other, one making the other worse and vice versa.”

With the stress of finals coming up in the next few weeks, maintaining your mental health is the key to

success. Exercising, having a healthy diet, getting plenty of rest (even though it can be tempting to pull all-nighters to finish that dreaded paper) and relaxing are important for overall success.

If you feel you need to talk with someone, contact our University Counseling Center at 662-915-3784 or the Mississippi Department of Mental Health’s 24/7 hotline at 1-877-210-8513.

How to pick your outfit for summer festivals ALEX PRESLEY

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

Summer is just around the corner, and that means music festival season is in full swing.

It can be difficult to get away with loud, statement-making fashion, but if you’re willing to try stepping out of the box, music festivals are the place to do it. Anything and everything goes among the large crowds of music lovers flocking in front of stages, in fields and on beaches across the globe.

Keeping this in mind, wearing an eye-catching outfit can pay off. Music festivals are street style goldmines for photographers.

It is possible to wind up in a major fashion publication if your look is one that stands out from the crowd. This can serve as inspiration and motivation when picking out what to wear to see your favorite bands.

If you find yourself bored by the often cliche and exhausted hippie festival style, there is hope. Flower crowns, flowy silhouettes, tie-dye and flash tattoos aren’t your only choices. The new wave of music festival fashion takes a more no-holds-barred, anything goes, outrageous approach.

Anything metallic, feathered, sequined, leathered, graphic or light-up will give off a cool, current vibe.

Putting a festival outfit to-

Since there are no rules, the possibilities are truly endless.

Start with a pair of punchy sunglasses. You have to wear them anyway (or be blinded by the sun), so they’re a great way to build up your look. Quay and Le Specs offer affordable choices that are

high-fashion and on-trend.

Choosing a practical, but fun, pair of shoes is vital for surviving the day. Trendy tennis shoes are a hot commodity. The Rihanna Fenty trainer and Adidas’ Stan Smith, Tubular and Superstar styles are candidates that can be paired with casual wear or mixed

with more formal attire. Platforms and gladiator sandals are other choices that work perfectly with any outfit.

Get creative with what garments you wear.

Experiment with different cuts, shapes, sizes, textures and colors to create a look that’s all your own.

Di$count Universe, which was spotted on Kylie Jenner at Coachella, offers incredible solid-sequin garments with cheeky images and sayings.

Denim shorts are a staple in music festival dressing, so you can’t go wrong by pairing a ripped pair with a killer embroidered crop top. Zara, ASOS, Nasty Gal and Dolls Kill all offer ornate clothing that will give you a distinct appearance.

The key thing to remember when getting dressed for a music festival is to have fun.

Festivals are prime opportunities to use your imagination to discover your own true personal style.

Take pictures, enjoy the music and soak up the compliments you’ll receive on your outfit.

The Commodores are weird.

They swept Georgia this weekend and looked elite. The problem is, they somehow dropped a series to Tennessee the week before. The Commodores’ schedule isn’t getting easier the next two weeks as they have Texas A&M and Florida on the road.

KENTUCKY

I’m not sure how you lose a series to Auburn when you’ve had the type of year Kentucky has had, but the good news is they face South Carolina next week to get back on track. I’m kidding.

12. AUBURN I guess Auburn did take a series this weekend from Kentucky, so that is good for them. Auburn is still the worst infield defense I have ever seen.

Arkansas did look better this weekend against Texas A&M. Arkansas is not going to make the postseason. Arkansas is not a good baseball team.

ALABAMA

The Crimson Tide has really good pitching that can keep them in any competition.

Alabama put itself in a position to take a series from Mississippi State, but couldn’t get the key hits in game 3. Alabama is a team to keep an eye on in the postseason with the dominant arms they have.

LSU dropped back-to-back series to Mississippi State and Ole Miss, respectively. LSU has had sub-par performances from Jared Poche the past two weekends, but it appears that Alex Lange has gotten back on track.

Rebel alumnus wins first pro singles title in Florida VERO BEACH, Fla. – When he visited Oxford a few weeks ago, Ole Miss men’s tennis alum Jonas Lutjen talked about overcoming injuries to get back on the court. Sunday, all the hard work and dedication paid off as he won his first career ITF Futures singles title, the Mardy Fish Children’s Foundation Tennis Championships.

Lutjen defeated Latvia Davis Cup member Martins Podzus in the singles final at The Boulevard Village and Tennis Club. The two battled back and forth in the first set to a tiebreaker, which Lutjen won 7-6(4) to strike first. He carried that momentum over to gain an early break in the second and held for 6-3 and his first singles title since turning pro after graduating from Ole Miss in 2013.

“It’s an amazing feeling to finally get rewarded for the hard work it took to get through all the injuries and to get back in the right shape to compete for titles,” Lutjen said.

It was also the second time he beat Podzus, who has won

three Futures events around the world this year.

“I remember that match, but it was six years ago…a lot has changed since then,” Lutjen said. “Last time we played was at a first round qualifying event somewhere in Germany.

Playing the final against him on a bigger stage, is a lot more fun.”

After a short break, Lutjen was back on the court for the doubles championship with his partner, Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic. The two raced through the first set 6-1, but a late break allowed their opponents from the United States to take the second set 7-5. Lutjen and Kecmanovic won the deciding set 10-8 to take the title. It marked Lutjen’s third professional doubles title.

Lutjen’s transition from an All-American Rebel to the pros has not been without trial and tribulation. Multiple surgeries − first on his knee and then his groin − sidelined Lutjen for most of 2014 and 2015.

Finally healthy again, Lutjen reached the singles final earlier this year in Israel be-

While busy preparing the Rebels for postseason play, Head Coach Toby Hansson

kept an eye on Lutjen’s results.

“We are all very happy for Jonas winning both the singles and doubles title this week,” Hansson said.

“It is nice to see that all the work he has put into his tennis

is starting to pay off.”

Lutjen will play the event in Tampa this next week, and then come back to Oxford for a few days before heading back home to Germany.
