* Photographer on campus

The Office of Marketing and Communication will have a photographer on campus for a photo shoot Monday, April 10, through Wednesday, April 12. UE students and faculty have always been very cooperative and accommodating during previous shoots. As a result, many great photos have been taken for UE publications. Alex Amick will try to notify faculty in advance if photos will be taken in a particular class; however, weather often can force the shoot inside, and it is possible that last minute requests will be made. If faculty members know that they will be giving a test or do not wish to have their class photographed any of these days, please inform Alex Amick at ext. 5004 and the classroom will be avoided.

Upcoming Events

* Aces aim to get back on track against Indiana State

After falling victim to a sweep at the hands of Southern Illinois in last weekend’s conference-opening series in Carbondale, the University of Evansville Baseball team will be hoping to get things turned around with in-state foe Indiana State as the team kicks off the Missouri Valley home slate at Charles H. Braun Stadium.

It was difficult weekend for the Aces (9-20, 0-3 MVC) beginning with Friday’s narrow 3-2 setback against the Salukis. That was followed up on Saturday with three-run walk-off homer in the ninth, and then on Sunday, nearly every SIU run was scored with two outs.

UE scored two runs in all three contests at SIU, and the team will hope to be getting back to the high-scoring totals the team put together in first month of the season. That effort got off to a good start on Wednesday night as homers from Travis Tokarek and Trey Hair propelled the UE line-up to a 5-1 rain-shortened victory over crosstown rival Southern Indiana.

Tokarek, who hit just one home run over his first two seasons with the Aces, leads the team this season with five dingers. Hair, who hit 10 a season ago, picked up his fourth of the campaign and first since March 10, a streak of 15 games.

Hair is one of four UE players with an average better than .300. His .302 mark is supplemented by team-leading totals in runs batted in (20), runs scored (19) and doubles (14). The freshman duo of Kenton Crews and Craig Shepherd own .319 and .311 marks at the plate, and Andrew Tanous is nearly up there as well as the junior out of Katy, Texas, has seen his average improve to .298 thanks in large part to his 17-game on-base streak, which is the longest by a UE player this season.

On the mound, Patrick Schnieders will get the nod tonight. The senior out of Westphalia, Missouri, has experienced a fantastic final season to this point. A two-time MVC Pitcher of the Week, Schnieders is coming off a career-best performance of 12 strikeouts over 6.1 innings at SIU. He enters the weekend with a 2-3 record to go along with a 2.54 earned run average and 52 punchouts over 39 frames.

Connor Strain, who is in search of his first win, will make his eighth start of the season on Saturday with a 4.56 ERA, and Justin Hayden (2-4, 7.23 ERA) is scheduled to go on Sunday.

Relief ace Austin Allinger may also be called upon this weekend after allowing just six earned runs over 23 innings. He owns a 2.35 ERA with 20 strikeouts. Jack Cavanaugh has given up runs in just two of his 10 appearances, posting a 3.00 ERA, and Brandon Gomer is the team leader in appearances (17) and saves (2). He’s 1-1 on the year with a 5.85 ERA.

Meanwhile, Indiana State (13-12) will be playing in its first conference series. Last weekend, the Sycamores fell in a trio of tight contests at Illinois, but the team bounced back earlier this week with a 5-2 victory at Purdue.

First pitch today is slated for 6:00 p.m. All three games this weekend will be carried live on The Valley on ESPN3.

* UE Theatre closes 2016-17 Shanklin Theatre season with Hamlet

The University of Evansville Department of Theatre proudly presents the final production of its season, William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, honoring the 50th anniversary of the April 1967 opening of Shanklin Theatre. Hamlet opens Friday, April 7, at 7:30 p.m., in Shanklin Theatre. Additional performances are at 7:30 p.m. on April 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 and at 2:00 p.m. on April 9.

Enraged by his mother’s hasty marriage and tormented by ghostly visions of his father’s suspected murder, the play follows the desperate young Prince of Denmark on his bloody quest for revenge. Grand in scope and rich in language, this haunting story of family loyalty, obsession, and remorse will leave audiences ready for the next 50 years of historic Shanklin Theatre productions.

Shanklin Theatre opened its doors in April 1967 with a production of Hamlet starring professor John David Lutz in the title role. After a $1.3 million renovation in 1990, Shanklin Theatre reopened its doors with another production of Hamlet, this time with John David Lutz directing and Brent Langdon tackling the lead role. Mirroring the opening of Shanklin Theatre in April 1967, the University of Evansville Department of Theatre is thrilled to celebrate the 50th anniversary with another production of this critically acclaimed tragedy.

Professor John David Lutz directs this special production. Department chair Eric Renschler serves as the scenic designer; professor Patti McCrory is the costume designer; associate professor Stephen Boulmetis is the lighting designer; Baxter Pitt, a junior from McKinney, Texas, serves as the sound designer; professor Diane Brewer is the dramaturg; Melia Schnefke, a junior from St. Louis, Missouri, is the stage manager; and Logan Schumann, a senior from San Antonio, Texas, is the technical director.

The cast features senior David Aaron Evans from The Woodlands, Texas, as Hamlet; sophomore Meredith Ham from Castle Rock, Colorado, as Ophelia; junior Davis Brinker from Minneapolis, Minnesota, as Horatio; senior Rachel Barkalow from Cincinnati, Ohio, as Gertrude; senior Nate DeCook from Holland, Michigan, as Laertes. The cast also feature Brent Langdon, a 1992 University of Evansville Department of Theatre graduate, who played Hamlet in the 1990 Shanklin Theatre production.

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.

* Benefit open enrollment until April 19

During the period of April 3-19, benefit-eligible employees may enroll or make changes in the University’s health, voluntary term life, dental, and ACES flexible spending account benefit plans.

It is the only chance for benefit-eligible employees to enroll or make changes until the next open enrollment period unless you have a qualifying change in status. You may also consider enrolling in the University’s group life and long term disability insurance plans, if you haven’t done so already.

Please review the documents in the Open Enrollment section on the HR area of AceLink - beginning with the open enrollment memo - for important announcements, reminders, and changes to the University’s benefits which will occur June 1. 

We will once again utilize an on-line enrollment process, eliminating all paper enrollment forms for health, life, dental, and long term disability insurance, as well as the ACES flexible spending account. This will ensure the accuracy of your enrollment elections and maintain records electronically regarding your current and future participation.

Enrollment/changes to your TIAA and Emeriti VEBA Trust retirement plan salary deferrals will continue to be processed on paper forms available in the Office of Human Resources. Therefore, you do not need to re-enroll in the TIAA or Emeriti retirement plans. 

ALL benefit eligible employees (including those who do not want to make any changes to their current coverage) must enter their elections by April 19. 

Please review the open enrollment memo and on-line benefit enrollment documents on the HR area of AceLink, which should answer many of the questions you might have about this system.   

Please contact the Office of Human Resources at ext. 2943 with any questions.

* Professor Khan receives highly cited research award

Walayet A. Khan, professor of finance, recently received the Elsevier publisher 2017 “highly cited research” award for his coauthored paper with Joao Vieito (Portugal). The paper is titled “Executive compensation and gender: S&P 1500 listed firms” and was published in Journal of Economics and Business in 2013. Since its publication it has been one of the five most highly cited papers.

Khan and Vieito examine if a gender gap persists in executive compensation and if the composition and the determinants of executive compensation for men versus women are the same for the S&P1500 listed firms. They also extended the analysis to high tech firms, where high scholarship is required both for male and female executives.

The results reveal that the gender gap in executive compensation is reducing essentially after the year 2000. Also, the factors that explain the variation in executive compensation are not all the same for men and women. However, firms continue to pay women, who are considered more risk averse than men, a similar proportion of risky compensation components, such as stock options and restricted stocks, than they pay to men. In terms of technology firms, they find that the gender differences in total compensation are not statistically significant. The finding that the gender gap diminishes is a sign of a better functioning market for executives.

The findings could be potentially useful for compensation committees in order to develop compensation packages that take into consideration the degree of risk aversion in order to enhance performance. Compensation adjusted for risk aversion can produce a higher level of satisfaction for the employees and can lead to better performances.

The authors suggest that future research should focus on international comparison of various dimensions of executive compensation.
