During Road Trip weekend, the Office of Admission invites all UE students to take a Road Trip to Main Street for lunch, followed by the Men’s Basketball game on Saturday, February 20. All UE students, whether or not they are hosting for Road Trip, may ride the busses.

The Southern Illinois Salukis will seek to avenge their overtime loss to the Purple Aces Men’s Basketball team. Let’s fill the Ford Center and show both the Salukis and our high school guests our Aces spirit.  

Schedule:

• Noon - Busses begin shuttling UE students to Main Street (load in front of Carson Center).  Last bus departs at approximately 2:15 p.m.
• Noon – 2:45 p.m. - Downtown restaurants offering discounts to those with UE ID.
• 2:00 p.m. – Ford Center doors open.
• 2:15 p.m. – Road Trip visitors depart UE for the Ford Center.
• 3:00 p.m. – Game begins. Busses return to UE following the game.

The following restaurants will offer a 10 percent discount on food to those presenting UE ID.

• Angelo’s Italian Restaurant (305 Main Street)
• Backstage Bar and Grill (524 Main Street) 
• Piece of Cake Bakery (210 Main Street)

All UE students will receive a $5 coupon for concessions upon arrival at the Ford Center, and those enrolled in the Aces Student Rewards program will receive double points for swiping in at this game! Your student club or organization can still enroll in the Aces Student Rewards program.  

Due to scheduling during Road Trip, Café Court will be adjusting dinner hours on Saturday, February 20. The dinner hours that evening will run from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Thank you for your support. 

The University of Evansville will host a visit February 29 - March 2, with a five-person review team representing its regional accrediting agency, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).

Before the Visit
Prior to visiting UE, the peer review team will spend several weeks carefully reviewing UE’s Assurance Argument, verifying assertions made in the argument by examining supporting documents provided in an Electronic Resource Room, and identifying people and groups with whom they want to meet while on campus. In addition to the materials provided by UE, the peer review team will also read any comments submitted to the HLC through the Third-Party Comment process and results of a survey the HLC administers to UE students six weeks prior to the campus visit.

During the Visit
While on campus, the peer review team will likely spend time visiting various programs and departments, observing classrooms or co-curricular activities, and meeting with individuals and groups (including open forums with faculty, staff, and students). The HLC Steering Committee has developed a set of sample questions that peer review team members may ask, which is intended to be a helpful guide in preparing for the campus visit.

After the Visit
Several weeks after the campus visit, the peer review team will prepare a draft report, which will be sent to UE to review and correct any errors of fact. The team will then prepare a final report of its findings and recommendations for UE’s accreditation status. UE will receive a copy of this report and have an opportunity to provide a formal written response to the HLC. This response will become part of the official record of the evaluation. The HLC will review the final report and UE’s response and notify UE in writing when the review process is completed and final action by the HLC has been determined.

In conjunction with Founders Day, the University will celebrate its Methodist-related history by hosting a United Methodist Festival of Hymns today at 7:00 p.m. in Neu Chapel.

The ecumenical festival is designed to encourage and inspire congregational singing, with choirs, clergy and musicians from the local area and the campus community leading the collaborative effort. The event will feature some of the great hymns sung with brass, wind, and keyboard instruments, including the harpsichord, pipe organ, and piano.

UE chaplain Tamara Gieselman explained that the festival “will lead us through the Christian year as we celebrate our heritage and anticipate a bright future. We hope everyone will experience a meaningful evening with opportunity to find new energy for singing the great hymns.”

The Evansville community is invited to the Hymn Festival on February 18, and the Founders Day ceremony on February 21.

The University of Evansville Department of Theatre proudly presents Horton Foote’s Lily Dale, opening today at 7:30 p.m., in Shanklin Theatre. Additional performances are at 7:30 p.m. on February 20, 25, 26, and 27, and at 2:00 p.m. on February 21 and 28.

In one of nine plays comprising the prolific playwright’s The Orphans’ Home Cycle, Horton Foote once again masterfully mixes the bitter with the sweet and the sad with the comic in his typically appealing manner. In 1909, Horace Robedaux boards a train bound for Houston to visit his mother and self-absorbed sister only to find himself fighting a raging fever and at the mercy of an icy stepfather. Horace’s desperate longing to connect with his estranged family is a vivid reminder of the lasting heartbreak that people endure to survive in life’s ever-changing landscape.

Professor John David Lutz directs Lily Dale. Professor emeritus Joseph P. Flauto Jr. serves as the scenic designer; Professor Patti McCrory is the costume designer; Aaron Curry, a senior from Glendale, Arizona, is the lighting designer; David Dawson, a senior from Arlington, Texas, serves as the sound designer; and TJ Baldassare, a senior from Westminster, Colorado, is the dramaturg.

The seven-person cast features juniors Demi Davis, from Leesburg, Georgia, as Lily Dale Robedaux; Nate DeCook, from Holland, Michigan, as Horace Robedaux; Rachel Barkalow, from Cincinnati, Ohio, as Corella Davenport; sophomores Braden Wilkerson, from Fort Worth, Texas, as Mrs. Coons; Jacob Sellers, from Fort Branch, Indiana, as Pete Davenport; Davis Brinker, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, as Will Kidder; and freshman Isaac Baker, from Bowling Green, Kentucky, as Albert Thornton.

Ticket prices are $15 for adults and $13 for senior adults, students, and UE faculty and staff. UE students may obtain one free student rush ticket beginning at noon on the day of the performance they wish to attend. Tickets may be purchased by calling 812-488-2031, Monday through Friday, noon to 5:00 p.m.

The Department of Philosophy and Religion, the UE College Democrats, Tri-State Jobs with Justice, and the Southwest Indiana Chapter of Hoosiers for a Common Sense Health Plan are co-sponsoring a showing of the documentary, “Fix It: Healthcare at the Tipping Point”, followed by an open discussion. The documentary will be shown on Thursday, February 25, at 7:00 p.m., in Room 162, Schroeder School of Business Building. The event is free and open to the public. 

Despite the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the skyrocketing costs of health care to both individuals and businesses continue to rise at a significantly higher rate than the cost of living as well as growth in the GDP. That places a debilitating strain on the economy, not to mention the nation’s health. Can this level of increasing costs be sustained, while still moving toward universal coverage? What can be done about it? This documentary will discuss these questions.

For any questions, contact UE professor emeritus Dick Connolly at 812-479-1298 or at dc25@evansville.edu.
 

Musical Madness Goes to the '80s is set for today and tomorrow, at 7:30 p.m., in Eykamp Hall, Ridgway University Center. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. This event will be a flashback to an exciting era with singing and dancing, all choreographed and written by students.

Assistant professor of philosophy Lisa Kretz will attend the International Association of Professional and Practical Ethics Annual Conference this week to share research findings from a collaborative research study completed with assistant professor of education Matthew Knoester. 

Anthony Beavers (professor of philosophy and director of the Cognitive Science Modeling Lab) and Justin Slattery (senior major in philosophy, creative writing, and English) completed their chapter, "On the Moral Implications and Restrictions Surrounding Affective Computing," for inclusion in Affective Sciences in Human Factors and Human-Computer Interaction, edited by Myounghoon Jeon and to be published by Elsevier.

Abstract: Building simulated affects into artifacts poses a moral dilemma. On the one hand, in order for humans to interact fully with machines, the machines need to meet them on human terms, and this requires machines that are capable of assessing human affective states and responding to them in kind. On the other hand, doing so amounts to a fundamental deception that humans will find it hard to keep in mind, namely that these machines do not actually have these affective states and may not, therefore, be worthy of our attachment and our moral regard. Yet, simulated affects, we argue, are necessary for creating machines that can make moral decisions, that affects are essential for disambiguating the utterances of machines and humans, and that not all forms of deception are bad. After an initial provocation, these arguments are taken up in order, after which we argue further that while simulated affects are necessary, they could nonetheless lead to abuse. Therefore, the standard ethical limits and principles involved with any technological innovation must be respected.

For the next four days, the Purple Aces women's swimming and diving team will be participating in the Missouri Valley Conference Championship in Carbondale, Illinois. For  live video, daily results and full information on the championship, please visit the MVC Championship Central page.

Last year, the University of Evansville finished in fourth place. Several performances highlighted last year's championships. Evansville started the day one finals off with a bang, with the relay team of Michaela Kent, Mackenzie Powell, Danielle Freeman, and Abby Smith posting a time of 1:43.50 in the 200 Medley Relay to finish in second place, while swimming the best time in school history.

The second school record of the opening day for UE came in the 800 free relay. Freeman was part of the record-breakers once again, joining Michelle Tipton, Maja Magnusson, and Jessi Hildebrand as the group registered a 7:35.42.

Day Two saw Abby Smith, Sam Montgomery, Danielle Freeman, and Michelle Tipton set another mark in the 200 free relay. They posted a time of 1:33.06, which is also an MVC record.

On Day Three, three more school records went by the wayside including the 200 free as Tipton posted a 1:48.35. Freeman earned the new school mark in the 100 fly with her time of 55.63.

On the final day, Tipton took second place in the 100 free with an even 50.00, yet another school record. In that same event, Freeman took fourth place. The group of Abby Smith, Sam Montgomery, Freeman, and Tipton took second in the 400 free relay with a time of 3:23.95. Their effort smashed the previous school mark.

Rickey Perkins finished the weekend by taking home his fifth MVC Coach of the Year Award.

This marks the second time in a span of 10 days that UE will be heading to Carbondale as the women faced the Salukis on Februrary 6. Michaela Kent was the top performer of the day, earning the win in the 50 backstroke with a time of 27.35. She also grabbed a pair of third place efforts in the 25 and 50 free races. Her time in the 25 free was a 16.40 while she checked in with a 24.82 in the 50 free.

In the 50 free, Kaylee Gubricky had a solid fourth place finish with a time of 25.72.

Adrianne Gamester, Jessi Hildebrand, Maja Magnusson, and Megan Schremp combined to take third in the 100 free relay as they swam a time of 49.94.

Courtney Coverdale took third place in both dives. In the 1-meter, her score was a 238.72 while she was credited with a 232.50 in the 3-meter.
 

In search of their twenty-first victory of the season, the University of Evansville Men’s Basketball team will travel west to Des Moines, Iowa, to take on Drake in an 8:00 p.m. game that will be carried by the Missouri Valley Conference TV Network.

Evansville won its twentieth game of the season in dramatic fashion on Sunday, defeating Loyola by a final of 74-73 at Gentile Arena. Up by as many as 19 points, the Aces hung on as the Ramblers made a furious charge to take the lead in the final minute, but D.J. Balentine hit a floater with 18 seconds left to seal the win. Egidijus Mockevicius led everyone with 24 points, 16 rebounds and seven blocks in the win. Balentine finished with 16 while Jaylon Brown posted 12 points and Blake Simmons recorded 11 tallies, hitting a season-high three 3-pointers.

For the third time in four years, the Purple Aces have won 20 games, clinching the all-important victory against Loyola on Sunday. It marks the first time since 1999 that the Purple Aces have won 20 games in the regular season.

Drake enters Wednesday’s match-up with a 6-20 record and stands at 1-13 in MVC play. The Bulldogs began the season at 4-3 with wins over Western Kentucky and Pepperdine, but are 2-17 since the beginning of December.

Leading the way for the Bulldogs is Reed Timmer, who has established himself as one of the top shooters in the MVC; he stands at 17.3 points per game and is shooting 47.7%. Kale Abrahamson has notched 12.0 PPG while Graham Woodward checks in with 11.1; Abrahamson was the leading scorer last time out for DU, posting 15 against SIU. Jacob Enevold is their top rebounder, hauling in 5.3 rebounds per contest, he is also their top free throw shooter at 83.0%.

Faculty and  staff may pick up their complimentary tickets for this weekend's men's and women's basketball games.

The women's basketball team will face off against Wichita State at 7:00 p.m. on Friday and against Missouri State at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday.
