The University of Evansville Men's Soccer team travels north to battle an in-state rival with a matchup with Butler tonight at 6:00 p.m. (CST) in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Purple Aces are 4-1 on the season and are coming off their first loss of the season, a 1-0 loss on the road at Grand Canyon last Thursday.
 
UE opened the season with four-straight victories, its best start since opening 5-0 in 2008. The Aces will look to return to their winning ways with a road matchup with the Butler Bulldogs.

Entering the weekend, the Bulldogs hold a 3-2 record and are coming off a 3-2 loss to Western Michigan on Friday. Much like the Aces, Butler was ranked (18th) in last week's TopDrawerSoccer.com Top 25 poll before falling out of the poll this week. The meeting is the 18th in series history between Evansville and Butler with the Aces holding a 14-13 advantage in the series.

Former Boston Police commissioner Ed Davis – who was at the forefront of the emergency response to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and the arrests that followed – will be the speaker for the upcoming University of Evansville’s Patricia Snyder Lecture. The lecture is Thursday, October 12 at 7:00 p.m., in Eykamp Hall, Ridgway University Center.  Doors open at 6:30 p.m. 

The event is free and open to the public but registration is required. The registration form can be found online at www.evansville.edu/EdDavis.

The topic of Davis’s lecture will be “Policing in America: The Changing Landscape of Our Cities & Law Enforcement’s Role in Protecting Our Communities.”

Davis’s experience during the Boston Marathon bombings was depicted in the feature film, Patriots Day, starring John Goodman as Commissioner Davis, which was released in January 2017.

Davis is currently president and CEO of the business strategy and security agency, Edward Davis LLC. He has built a stellar reputation on his experience in interagency collaboration and law enforcement on local, state, national, and international levels. His insight in cyber security and anti-terrorism, as well as his expert knowledge in crisis management and strategic planning translates across industries. Davis’s unique approaches to terrorism, cyber security, and policing have been adopted both nationally and internationally in Singapore, London, Northern Ireland, Jordan, and Israel.

The Patricia H. Snyder Concert and Lecture Series was made possible in 1997 through an endowment from the late Patricia H. Snyder, trustee and longtime friend of University, to bring speakers or performers of renown to Evansville at no cost to the public.

If you have any questions, please e-mail snyder@evansville.edu

Professor Karen Hall of Ohio Northern University will be the featured speaker at this year’s Constitution Day program. Her talk, “The Constitution and the Rule of Law in America,” will take place TODAY at 4:00 p.m. in Smythe Lecture Hall (Schroeder 170). The event is free and open to the public.

Hall is the director of the program for Democratic Governance and the Rule of Law at Pettit College of Law at Ohio Northern University. She has a remarkable resume that includes spending 10 years working for the U.S. State Department, including several years living in the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, where she managed State Department assistance to the Afghan criminal justice system.

She holds a law degree from Harvard Law, a master’s in security studies from Georgetown, and a bachelor’s degree in Russian from Brigham Young.

The 2017 University of Evansville Honors Program incoming class has read the book Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, written by attorney Bryan Stevenson. The social justice themes brought forth in the book will be examined throughout the year and will include a presentation by community educator Anthony Ray Hinton, set for Monday evening (time TBD), October 30 in Eykamp Hall, Ridgway University Center. The campus community and public are welcome to this free event.

Hinton was falsely accused of committing two murders outside of Birmingham, Alabama, in 1985. He was wrongly convicted and spent nearly 30 years on Alabama's death row before he was exonerated and freed in April 2015. A deeply compelling speaker, he has become a powerful advocate against the death penalty and speaks nationally about the urgent need for criminal justice reform.

Several copies of the book, Just Mercy, are on reserve in the UE library and all are welcome to read it in preparation for Hinton’s visit.

Just Mercy is a powerful true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix our broken system of justice—from one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time.

Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Stevenson into a tangle of conspiracy, political machinations, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of justice.

Please read Just Mercy and plan to join us on Monday, October 30.

How many Ace Bucks do I have?

You can now check your balance on-line! Login and registration can be found at: https://evansville.campuscardcenter.com/ch/login.html

You will see a number of accounts:

If you have a meal plan, that will display first along with the remaining Ace Bucks for that plan. Ace Bucks purchases will be taken from this account first.

Additional accounts will also be displayed:

• Guest meal balances
• Carry out records
• Student Ace Bucks (i.e. $50 from the Student Services Fee)
• Bonus Ace Bucks (i.e. promotional Ace Bucks for selecting certain plans / packages)

To set up a new account or get help accessing an existing account you will be sent to a new screen.

The flex dollars number is your UE ID Number.

Ace Bucks are referred to as Flex Dollars.

I’m looking for that extra $50 in Ace Bucks for paying the Student Services Fee – where is that?

These are called Student Ace Bucks and can be viewed online as described above.

Ace Bucks purchases are deducted from the meal plan allocation first.

Your balance at the register only reflects your meal plan allocation of Ace Bucks until this is used up.

Once your meal plan allocation is spent, the Student Ace Bucks allocation will kick in and you will see an additional $50 on your balance at the register.

So what about the bonus Ace Bucks for purchasing the Prime, Purple, or Ace Buck Packages?

Bonus Ace Bucks for Prime, Purple, or Ace Buck Packages should be reflected on your account.

Chartwells had to wait until after the meal change period was over to award these Bonus Ace Bucks.

• Bonuses for Prime and Purple were added the morning of September 7.
• Bonus Bucks from Ace Bucks purchases are added at time of purchase.

You can view your Bonus Ace Bucks balance online as described above.

I heard there was going to be a microwave available in Ridgway University Center – where is that?
There is now a microwave near the left service entrance of Rademacher’s Café.

Please feel free to heat your items there.

Where can I find items that are gluten free?

There is a new Avoiding Gluten Area featuring Items that have been prepared without gluten containing ingredients. Check out this area for avoiding gluten waffles, breads, cereals, and a toaster reserved for avoiding gluten items. There are also other avoiding offerings throughout Café Court, but this area will always feature these items!

Important info on labeling of avoiding gluten items from Chartwells: 

To identify menu items that have been prepared without gluten containing ingredients, look for item labels or ask to speak with the chef or manager. Please note that our menu items are not gluten free because we prepare and handle products containing gluten in our kitchens.

We make every effort to label menu options that were prepared without gluten ingredients. However, due to our open kitchens that handle gluten for the preparation of other menu items, we cannot guarantee that items made without gluten ingredients are “gluten-free,” as defined by FDA. While we make every effort to avoid gluten cross-contact, there is always the potential for cross-contact with other gluten containing food items, particularly in our self-serve areas. We encourage guests to speak to the chef or manager regarding any questions about the ingredients contained in the food being considered.

Pengcheng Xiao, assistant professor of mathematics, organized a special session titled "Special Session on Differential Equation Modeling and Analysis for Complex Bio-systems" for the recent AMS Fall Central Sectional Meeting at University of North Texas.

Fourteen researchers presented their research work in the special session. Jonathan Rubin, professor and chair of mathematics at University of Pittsburgh and a world class researcher in computational neuroscience, delivered the 45 minutes survey talk in this special session.

Tyler Gray fired off a 6-under 65 in the opening round of the Murray State Invitational and ranks in a tie for third place with the first two rounds of play in the books at Miller Memorial Golf Course.

Gray’s score in the opening round put him on top of the leaderboard. He finished the second round at 2-over par with a 73 and is tied for third place with a score of 138.

Matthew Ladd also had an impressive day at the links. Ladd started the day with an even 71 before finishing with the low score on the squad in the second round, recording a 72. He is tied for 15th with a 143.

Seven behind Ladd is the duo of Noah Reese and Jessie Brumley. Reese posted two rounds of 75 while Brumley checked in with scores of 76 and 74. Cameron Weyer completed the UE contingent with a 155 on the day. His low round came in the first 18 as he carded a 76.

Playing as an individual, Game Rohleder finished the day in a tie for 28th. He totaled an even 71 in the first round before notching a 75 to stand at a 145. Robert Waggoner tied Weyer’s efforts with a 155. His scored checked in at 77 and 78.

Murray State has the team lead with four of their top five ranking in the top 28. Their day one score of 565 is three ahead of second-place UT Martin. Western Illinois is third with a 571. Hunter Richardson of the Skyhawks had the low round of the day – a 7-under 64 in round two – and leads the individuals with a 132.

Evansville is tied for eighth in the team standings with a 581. The Purple Aces are knotted up with Tennessee Tech. They are one behind 7th-place John A. Logan College and four in back of Austin Peay.

Today, the teams will play one more round.

Atefeh Yazdanparast, assistant professor of marketing, has had a paper accepted by the European Journal of Marketing, an A* ranked journal by the Australian Business Deans Council. Following an experimental design and drawing on objective self-awareness theory and self-affirmation theory, the research establishes a link between self-awareness, emotions, and motivations by empirically testing the consequences of self-standard discrepancies. The results indicate that pride inducing exercises could act as self-affirming factors to intervene the undesirable outcomes of body image dissatisfaction.
