The Ole Miss hockey team has advanced farther into post-season play than ever before. The program qualified for the American Collegiate Hockey Association National Division 3 Tournament for the first time in its four-year history.

“We’re still a little shocked ourselves,” team president Phil Jacquot said. “We knew we could do it, but no one else thought we could do it. Right now we’re just soaking it in.”

To qualify, the Rebels had to win two games in the South Regional. In the first game, Ole Miss got a 5-4 win over Loyola (Md.), which elimi-nated Ole Miss in last year’s Regional Tournament. In the second game, Ole Miss was nearly eliminated by Florida Gulf Coast, which defeated Ole Miss in the regular season by a score of 9-4 in November. The Rebels trailed 3-0 after the first period and 4-2 after the second period.

“A few heads dropped,” Jac-quot said. “Guys were looking around to see how we would respond. What sparked us was

the veterans on the team. Our captains, Myles (Flott), Cody (Fullinwider) and Zach (Boyn-ton) (showed) nothing but positive energy on the bench. Sticking together as a unit is re-ally the reason we came out on top.”

Ole Miss took a 5-4 lead with seven minutes left in the third period, but Florida Gulf Coast tied the game and sent it into overtime, where Dan Warnecke capped off an in-credible game.

Warnecke scored the game winner in sudden death over-time, his fourth goal of the game. Head coach Kristian Skou didn’t give Warnecke all the credit for the game, as he said he felt his whole team played a solid game.

“He was the guy who fin-ished the play,” Skou said. “We had four lines that car-ried us. All four lines gave us a chance. I don’t feel like he car-ried us. He was the one who was able to take advantage of hat his teammates helped him to do.”

Sophomore goalie Josh Hukill came up big in the net for Ole Miss, making 11 saves in overtime.

The National Tournament in Springfield, Mo., doesn’t start until spring break, as Ole Miss will play Colorado State, which is ranked first in the Pacific division, on Tuesday, March 12. The Rebels will be in a pool with Colorado State, Farmingdale State and the de-fending Division 3 national champions, Adrian. Each of the four pool play winners will advance to the semifinals on Friday, March 15, and the the finals on Saturday, March 16.

Ole Miss will return to the ice this weekend in the Southeast-ern Collegiate Hockey Confer-ence Tournament in Hunts-ville, Ala. Ole Miss enters as the third seed in the SECHC Western division, behind Ala-bama, which also qualified for the National Tournament, and Arkansas. Ole Miss will open with the second seed from the East, Florida, in the quarterfi-nals on Friday at 7:10 p.m. The semifinals will be on Saturday and the finals on Sunday.

“We need any momentum we can get going into nation-als,” junior defensemen John Jenks said. “I would love to win the SEC and prove we are the best in the conference.”

USDA grant to improve food options in OxfordThe USdA awarded the Oxford School district with the Farm to School Grant, which will be used for improving kids’ eating choices and lifestyles.

The Farm to School Grant awarded to the Oxford School District is being used as a launching point for a larger initiative called Good Food for Oxford Schools.

The school district received the Farm to School Grant in November 2012 through a six-month application pro-cess with the help of Sunny

Young, project coordinator of Good Food for Oxford Schools.

“A project like this has never happened in Missis-sippi for public schools and a school district this size,” Young said.

Don’t worry, be happy

Gallup did a poll of nearly 200 countries last year trying to find the most “upbeat and positive” countries. They gathered infor-mation from citizens about how well-rested they feel on a regular basis, if they felt respected, and if they did something interesting or enjoyable the day before.

After compiling the data, they found seven out of the top 10 countries were all located in Latin America with Panama and Paraguay being tied for “most positive.” In a similar poll conducted by Gallup, Colom-bia was found to be the happiest country in the world.

What’s interesting about these polls is the trends seen in what makes people happy. Wealthier

countries tend to be less happy than relatively poorer, less-de-veloped countries. Singapore, one of the most developed countries in the world, ranked dead last in Gallup’s “posi-tive” poll. Many citizens cited excessive work as a cause for their downtroddenness. And it makes sense.

In the past decade, interest in “positive psychology” has been on the rise. According to an ar-ticle by USA Today, in the 90s, there were 10 studies on sadness for every one on happiness. The gap has been closing pretty quickly in the new millennium.

Gretchen Rubin released her book “The Happiness Project” in 2010, which spent time as number one on the New York Times bestseller list. In her book, she chronicles a year of her life dedicated to finding happiness. She realizes one day that despite having a good life, kids, husband, health, etc., she doesn’t feel as though she’s liv-ing life to its full potential. She

assigns a goal to each month and sets out on her journey to find happiness.

So why is it difficult to be happy? Why do so many of us have moments like Rubin when we feel completely unfulfilled, despite many good things in our lives?

Maybe we should take a look at the questions Gallup asked in its poll again. Do you feel well-rested? America has always been a very work-centered country. Don’t get me wrong, we can be and often are ex-tremely frivolous, but we also value hard workers and hav-ing good jobs even if those jobs are exhausting. There’s nothing wrong with reasonably working hard, but we often take on too many responsibilities because we feel an obligation to, not be-cause we want to. As a result, we end up frustrated and cranky.

Do you feel respected? This is a more difficult question to answer, and perhaps, the more important question is, “Do you

respect yourself?.” Self-loathing and guilt can be two of the most detrimental forces working against one’s happiness. We all have room for improvement, but it’s important to be as nice to yourself as you would be to someone else and allow room for mistakes.

Did you do something in-teresting or enjoyable yester-day? This doesn’t have to be anything grand. Studies have shown people who spend time with close family and friends on a regular basis are happier than those who don’t. Something enjoyable could be as simple as getting coffee or going for a walk with a friend. Things are always more enjoyable with the people we’re closest too.

Happiness is a complex idea as is “fulfillment,” but we can learn from others and their lives on how to increase it in ours.

onto cafeteria trays and do educational outreach for kids. The program aims to educate students, faculty, staff and parents on the ben-efits of eating healthy and eating local.

Good Food will work to eliminate processed food items on cafeteria menus and replace them with scratch cooking recipes.

Good Food could imple-ment a processed chicken campaign as early as March, which would aim to replace the processed chicken be-ing served in cafeterias with whole chicken, according to Young.

Young also said the pro-gram aims to collaborate with the local Farmers Mar-ket, Woodson Ridge Farms and Yokna Bottoms Farm to acquire fresh produce and to serve as educational outlets.

Good Food operates a pi-lot program in Bramlett and Oxford Elementary Schools by creating goals, getting people on board and starting to create a routine system. The organization intends to expand in the future, ac-cording to Young.

Jay Wenger, a fifth grader at Della Davidson Elemen-tary, is excited about the fu-ture transitions at school.

“Sometimes I feel sick af-ter I eat the regular lunch,”

Wenger said. “It’s not that they don’t put enough food on there, I just don’t normal-ly eat all of it because it’s not good.”

Debora Wenger, Jay’s mother and a journalism professor at The University of Mississippi, believes the Good Food program will be a positive part of the kids’ lives, both at school and at home.

“School lunch has always had a bad rap,” she said. “Anything that can help them be tastier and healthier will make it easier for us to reinforce those good habits

at home.”In January, Good Food

for Oxford Schools received another grant to conduct curriculum in the second and third grade at Oxford Elementary. One hour each week, Good Food will work

to educate students and par-ents through activities such as after-school cooking class-es.

Good Food will also hold a school-wide field day with Oxford Elementary students on Friday, April 26 with the goal of educating others about the impact of having healthy food options within the school.

The Farm to School Grant runs out at the end of No-vember, and Good Food is concentrating on securing funds for the second phase of their project, which is get-ting produce into school caf-eterias.

Good Food will host a gos-pel choir showcase at the end of April in order to promote the program and raise dona-tions, according to Young. Volunteers are needed to promote new menu items to kids and to help talk to kids about healthy food.

“We’re trying to get ev-eryone out in town to learn, talk about the problems a little and be open and hon-est about obesity and diet re-lated problems,” Young said.

MISSISSIPPI RATIFIES 13TH AMENDMENT

A S S O C I A T E D P R E S S

The state of Mississippi has corrected a clerical error that left unrecorded ratifica-tion of the 13th Amendment for 18 years.

The Legislature formally ratified the amendment, which outlawed slavery, in 1995.

However, the ratification document was never pre-sented to the U.S. Archivist, so it was never official.

The Clarion-Ledger re-ports that on Jan. 30, Secre-tary of State Delbert Hose-mann sent the Office of the Federal Register a copy of the 1995 Senate resolution, adopted by both the Missis-sippi Senate and House.

On Feb. 7, Charles A. Barth, director of the Feder-al Register, wrote back that he had received the resolu-tion and recorded the state’s action.

The newspaper reports the oversight was found by some Mississippians who after seeing the movie “Lin-coln” looked up historical accounts of Mississippi’s ac-tion.

I can not believe it is finally elec-tion day! We have worked so hard and have been looking forward to this day for so long.

I would like to thank my campaign team and everyone that has helped me make it this far. I got involved with ASB my first semester of my freshman year by being elected to the ASB Senate from Stockard Hall. I was appointed to serve as the co-

chairman for the Committee on Athletics, and I became the chair of that committee later my freshman year.

As a sophomore I was elected to the ASB Senate a second time, and I again served as the chair of the Committee on Athletics. One of the main resolutions that I worked on in my second term as a senator was a resolution proposing the use of Flex and Express at Ole Miss athletic events. Also in my second term, I was honored by the Senate as Senator of the Year.

Most recently I have been privileged to serve on the ASB Cabinet as the ASB Director of Athletics and Recreation. I have greatly enjoyed my time serving on ASB, and I am ready to bring my passion for serving Ole Miss to the posi-tion of ASB President.

My four main goals that I will accomplish if I am elected to be your next ASB President are the implementation of a “Creed Week” at the beginning of the fall semester to pro-mote civility and civic engagement among all members of the Ole Miss family.

My second main goal is to implement a program to allow students the opportunity to work off their first parking ticket by doing community service. This program would be coor-dinated by the ASB Director of Community Service, and would be a good way for students to make a positive differ-ence in the community.

My third goal is to facilitate the use of Flex and Express at all Ole Miss sporting events. I believe that my strong work-ing relationship with Ross Bjork and the Athletic Depart-ment will help to facilitate the implementation of using Flex and Express at sporting events.

My fourth goal is to expand the “dead week” at the end of each semester to include all five days of the last week of classes.

In closing, allow me to reiterate my deep love for the Uni-versity and her students. My parents raised me to love Ole Miss as much as they do, and they taught me to do my best for what I love. I believe that I have the experience and the work ethic that it takes to be the University of Mississippi ASB President. I appreciate your vote for ASB President.

From Gregory Alston2013-14 ASB Presidential Candidate

How to oteJErEMY HOLLIDAYExercise Science Junior

“ People don’t realize the influence ASB has on decisions made at the university. The candidate who wins in each election has the power to do a lot of good or bad for the university. I think everyone should vote.”

ALANE pArrISBroadcast Journalism Freshman

“ Yes I am voting in the elections because I feel that I should exercise my privilege to have a voice in the people that represent me as an Ole Miss student.”

My name is Maddie Fumi. I’m a Public Policy Leadership, International Stud-

ies, and Spanish triple major from Chicago, Illinois. As many of you already know, I am running for ASB President because I believe my unique experiences as an Ole Miss Orientation Leader, ASB Di-rector of Diversity Affairs and NPC Gamma Chi give me the ability to

unite our student body and bring positive change to this University. I do not want to take up your time listing off everything I have done at Ole Miss. Instead, I am going to tell you what I plan to do as your next ASB President.

If elected ASB President, some of my goals include promoting the Multicultural Center as a safe space for students of all walks of life. Also, allowing students to use Flex & Express in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, the Tad Pad, and other athletic facilities. I know parking is a huge issue on campus so I want to create an online parking ticket appeals system and designated 30 min-ute parking in front of Greek houses. As an Orienta-tion Leader and a freshman once myself, I understand the how difficult it is to transition to college life. This is

why I want to add the C- to the “Freshman Forgiveness” policy, so that students will have a second chance to retake a class. Lastly, I am a huge advocate for service and wish to encourage a partnership between Aramark, Ole Miss Dining, and the Food Recovery Network to direct wasted food to needy families in the Oxford com-munity.

Some of you reading this may have never voted in a student election at Ole Miss before. But, I really encour-age you to vote because your voice matters to me. I am confident I will achieve everything on my platform because I have already built strong relationships with faculty and shared my platform with them. My goals are realistic and attainable. Also, I have the experience to lead because I represent numerous areas of the Ole Miss campus. As a triple major in the Sally McDonnell Barks-dale Honors College, I know how to get work done. I have worked hard and achieved so much here at Ole Miss, and I owe it all to the support of my Ole Miss Family. It doesn’t matter if you’re in-state, out-of-state; black, white or everything in between. Everyone can achieve greatness at Ole Miss. So today I ask my Ole Miss Family to support me once again and vote Maddie Fumi for ASB President on your MyOleMiss account. Let’s not only make Ole Miss the Pride of the South but also the Pride of the Nation!

SPORTSPAGE 8 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | 19 FEBRUARY 2013 | SPORTS

Following the announcement of the starting five for the Ole Miss basketball team, the jum-botron focuses on the student section and the PA announcer claims the student section is the best sixth man in the country.

What a joke. The Ole Miss student section

is an embarrassment. There’s no organized cheering. There’s hardly any home-court advan-tage generated from the stu-dents.

The highlight of the student section’s season was lining up early to help shoot a King Ko-braz music video prior to the Kentucky game. That’s it. A long line and a music video. But once that game against Kentucky got underway, the students were useless; no cheers and barely any noise, just silent standing.

With less than a minute to go and Ole Miss leading Georgia by two, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope stepped to the free throw line with a chance to tie the game for the Bulldogs. The stu-dent section was barely audible. Marshall Henderson and Mur-phy Holloway had to prompt the fans to make noise.

If you need Henderson to make a three and stare into the crowd while waving his arms for you to make noise, then you can’t claim to be a good student section.

There are rarely chants of “de-fense,” or even a Hotty Toddy cheer. The student sec-tion can’t even jump and yell “O” when Ole Miss is on de-fense. A few students cheer and yell, but that’s just a handful out of hundreds.

It’s just not cool to go to

basketball games and cheer. Apparently, it’s only cool to throw cups at Ole Miss sporting events.

At football games, good play or bad play, cups are flying in the student section. At baseball games, the beer showers have become ever so popular. Now, basketball games follow suit.

During the Kentucky game, Henderson threw ice back into the student section after some-one chucked it on the court. Fol-lowing the overtime win over Georgia, a cup was hurled from the student section at the Geor-gia bench. It landed just behind their bench and managed to get everyone wet in between the crowd and the bench.

The “Malice in the Palace,” the brawl during a Pacers-Pis-tons NBA game, saw Pacers forward Ron Artest and guard Stephen Jackson run into the stands throwing punches at Pistons fans. But what prompt-ed these athletes? A cup was thrown and hit Ron Artest near the scorer’s table.

There are also a handful of students who thinks it is their job to heckle the other team, which is fine, but be clever; be creative. But that would take too much effort. So all that is spewed from the student sec-tion is F-bombs every few sec-onds and constant yelling at walk-ons about how few points they have. This happens every minute of every game.

Against Georgia, someone noticed that four security guards were seen in the student section at halftime, and the handful of students yelling at Georgia be-came tamer. Apparently they were told to tone it down, be-cause they later yelled, “Geor-gia doesn’t like it when we say mean things.”

The lack of cheering is just a lack of support and energy surrounding basketball at Ole Miss. The lack of class shown by throwing cups on the court and at opposing teams is the true embarrassment.

The students that act this way are not held accountable.

The Pistons fan who threw a cup at Ron Artest had his sea-son tickets revoked and was banned from attending Pistons games for life. He also served 30 days in jail after being found guilty of assault.

The backlash from this will be the same as always. People will claim it is just a small minor-ity that acts that way, and they don’t represent all of Ole Miss.

They do represent Ole Miss. Because when people see the Ole Miss students, that will be their lasting impression.
