ACES Volleyball Returns Home
Aces look for 6th consecutive Valley win
 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – With its first 5-match Missouri Valley Conference win streak secured, the University of Evansville volleyball team looks to add one more to that tally on Saturday when the Purple Aces welcome Indiana State for a 1 p.m. match at Meeks Family Fieldhouse.
Last Time Out
– Trailing by a score of 10-5 in the fifth set at Drake, the Aces staged a rally for the ages, scoring 10 of the final 12 points to clinch its first-ever 5-match MVC win streak
– Taya Haffner set her career mark with 50 assists while Giulia Cardona and Alondra Vazquez recorded 21 kills apiece
– Cecilia Thon played a huge role in the final rally, picking up two service aces
First Time For Everything
– On Oct. 15, the Purple Aces earned their first-ever road win over UNI by taking a 3-1 victory…it also marked just the third victory over the Panthers in 57 tries
– UE has now won five MVC matches in a row for the first time since joining the league in 1994
Rare MVC Feat
– On Monday, Giulia Cardona was named the MVC Player and Freshman of the Week after leading UE to road wins at UNI and Drake
– She became the first player to earn both honors in the same week since Abbie Lehman of Wichita State in 2014
– In Evansville’s three wins last week, Cardona racked up 4.75 kills and 19.2 digs per set while hitting .301
– The freshman recognition marked her second in a row after winning it on Oct. 11 with her efforts in wins over Illinois State and Bradley
– Over the course of UE’s 5-match win streak, Cardona has averaged 4.78 kills while hitting .342…she has also added 2.06 digs/set and 0.44 service aces
Highest Efficiency
– Entering the October 23 match against Indiana State, the Aces are hitting .260 on the season, which is on pace to smash the school record
– Since 1991, the highest mark has been .219 in 1998 and just six times UE has hit .200 or above, just one since 2001
Business as Usual
– Consistently one of the nation’s top players every time the Aces take the floor, Alondra Vazquez has notched at least nine kills in every match of the fall
– She remains on top of the MVC list with 4.40 kills/set while pacing the league in points (5.17/set) and aces (0.49/set)…defensively, Vazquez leads her squad with 3.13 digs per frame, 10th in the Valley
– Nationally, Vazquez is 20th in kill average, 22nd in aces per set and 27th with her service ace average
Serving up some Aces
– As a team, the Purple Aces have accumulated an average of 2.02 service aces per set, which is best in the Valley and 8th nationally
– Evansville is a perfect 15-0 on the season and 5-0 in the MVC when recording more service aces than the opposition
– The average for UE is on pace to be one of the top three on record (since 1991) with the top marks being 2.47 in 1991, 2.22 and 2.01 in 1996…UE has not averaged more than two aces per set since 1996
– Two of the heroes of the weekend Iowa sweep were Laura Ruiz and Cecilia Thon who made an extreme difference with their serving
– In the Oct. 15 win at UNI, Laura Ruiz picked up three aces in a 3-1 road victory over the Panthers…her ace in the third set was the decisive point in a 29-27 win that gave UE a 2-1 lead in the match
– It was Cecilia Thon’s turn in Des Moines where her serving anchored Evansville’s rally in the fifth set…Thon took over serving with the Aces trailing 11-8 and by the time she was finished – her team scored five in a row to go up 13-11, which included two service aces

TRIBAL COURT
TRIBAL COURT
GAVEL GAMUTÂ By Jim Redwine
After forty years of serving as a judge in the white man’s courts, I was recently honored to be asked to serve as a Special Judge by appointment of the Court of Appeals of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community of the Mohican Nation. The appointment of an outside judge was necessary because the case involves questions of tribal membership and the regularly sitting Native American judges for the Tribe had conflicts of interest due to the judges’ personal connections to the issues.
As I had no experience with Native American law, I had to first familiarize myself with the particular Tribe’s particular Constitution, procedural rules and statutes that applied to my assigned case. What I found was the bedrock issues for the Indian judicial system are remarkedly similar to the legal system I learned in law school and sat as a judge in. When I looked closely at tribal law, I came to the same conclusion attorney Abraham Lincoln did. Lincoln said the primary purpose of all courts and lawyers should be to:
“Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker, the lawyer (judge) has a superior opportunity of being a good person.â€
If one reads some newspaper editors or listens to cable news anchors, he or she might conclude compromise is anathema to the American body politic’s well-being. Conflict and strife with unyielding single-mindedness are the watchwords for national media and federal, and many states, officeholders. This way of addressing our personal and national problems seems rather discordant when a majority of Americans apparently believe their preferred lawgiver said:
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.â€
Matthew 5:9
It is ironic that those, many of whom champion Jesus the ultimate practitioner of compromise, so often call for obstinance and conflict. I guess the concept of situational ethics passes them by.
What I discovered in researching tribal law was what legal scholars have known since the days of Socrates: all courts are here to resolve controversies. That is their only charter, not to provide fodder for the gossip mill or entertainment for the afternoon or late-night talk show crowd. Judges, whether in the white man’s legal system or the Indian’s, have one main mission, which is to help people help themselves, if they can, to make peace.
I grew up on an Indian reservation but my experience with the kids I played ball with, fought with, and dated as they were just like me. Therefore, I was not surprised Native American courts had the same mission like the one I presided over in the white man’s world. On the other hand, it is comforting to think that should I for some reason get caught up in a tribal legal system it will be about the same as the social system I have always known. And I am glad America is finally getting around to recognizing what should have always been the case.
The tribal law I researched reminded me of laws enacted from the times of ancient Rome, ancient Greece, and English and French legal philosophers, such as John Locke and Voltaire, and American Founding Fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
Another great philosophical legal leader was Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce (1840-1904). Chief Joseph engaged in peaceful resistance until he was forced to surrender which he did base on certain representations from the white man’s government. Those representations were not honored. However, Chief Joseph upheld his end of the peace agreement and he was greatly admired as a peacemaker.
Chief Joseph’s legal philosophy is remarkedly similar to that of our earlier mentioned judge: Jesus said, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.â€Â Chief Joseph said:
“If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian, he can live in peace. Treat all men alike. Give them the same law.â€
As a tribal judge, even if only for one case, I feel quite at home with this court mission statement from Chief Joseph.

UE Clay Club to Host Annual Chili Bowl Sale on October 28
EVANSVILLE, IN (10/22/2021)
The University of Evansville (UE) Department of Art and Clay Club will host the annual Chili Bowl Sale on Thursday, October 28 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The event will be held on the UE campus at the East Terrace Lawn, located next to Ridgway University Center off Walnut Street. In the event of rain, the sale will be moved to October 29.
For $10, customers can buy one-of-a-kind ceramic bowls with the option of filling it with chili. To-go containers will also be available. Chartwells, the food service provider of UE, is co-sponsoring the event and providing chili. Chef Brown will be serving his own unique recipe. Larger bowls will be for sale from $15 to $50, and a silent auction will have artistic bowls on display, with price ranges from $75 to $125. Customers may purchase up to eight chili bowls, and cash or check (made out to UE Clay Club) will be accepted.
“A lot of hours went into creating these unique ceramic bowls,” said Todd Matteson, chair of the Department of Art and Clay Club advisor. “The artists dedicated a lot of energy and hard work. I feel blessed to have such a wonderful group to work with on supporting such a great cause.”
The bowls are made by members of the Clay Club as well as UE students, faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the Evansville community. This year one hundred percent of the sales will go to St. Vincent de Paul’s Food Pantry. The Clay Club chose this organization to assist in fighting hunger in the local area.
The Clay Club was established to further the knowledge of ceramic arts at UE and provide activities, both social and educational, to all interested students. Members raise funds to attend conferences, visit museums and galleries, and host visiting artists.
