UE Congratulates Graduate Rami Malek on Big Awards Season in Campus-wide Video

0

Rami Malek graduated from the University of Evansville’s Theatre department in 2003 and the entire campus community has joined together in a congratulatory video honoring his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in the award winning film, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Set to the familiar “stomp, stomp, clap” rhythm of We Will Rock You by Queen, the video celebrates Malek’s successes in a montage of people he knew and places he frequented in his undergraduate years. Video highlights include the stage of Shanklin Theatre where Malek performed in numerous productions all the way to Harlaxton College, the school’s living learning center in Grantham, England where he spent a semester abroad.

The video was produced by current UE students, senior Gina DeLise and junior Jules Iradukunda. The effort was spearheaded by two of Malek’s closest friends, Amelia McClain and Wes Grantom. The pair also graduated from UE in 2003 and are currently serving as guest artists in the UE Theatre department.

While at the University of Evansville, Malek performed in Death and the King’s Horseman, The Kentucky Cycle, Book of Days, Much Ado About Nothing, Othello, and The Real Thing.

Malek has won big this awards season for his role in Bohemian Rhapsody, taking home a Golden Globe, SAG Award, BAFTA Award for his role. He is also up for an Academy Award on Sunday, February 24.

Aces baseball drops game one of doubleheader to Little Rock

0

The University of Evansville baseball team got a dominating performance from junior starting pitcher Adam Lukas and some early opportunistic offense, however Little Rock got the last laugh in rallying to a game one 7-5 victory in Little Rock, Arkansas, Sunday afternoon.

The Aces grabbed the early lead, as senior outfielder Nate Reeder reached on a one-out hit-by-pitch, then moved into scoring position on an error, then scored on freshman second baseman Danny Borgstrom’s RBI single for the icebreaker.

Lukas would struggle in the bottom of the opening frame, walking in a run, knotting the game at one.

However, in the top of the second, the Evansville bats ignited. After Troy Beilsmith got hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, freshman designated hitter A.J. Fritz sent a single to second, however an error allows Fritz to make it to second, allowing Beilsmith to tally the go-ahead run. A single by sophomore first baseman Tanner Craig would load up the bases, then a Kenton Crews sacrifice fly would bring in Fritz to make it 3-1 Aces. Senior third baseman Sam Troyer would follow that up by hustling out an infield single, scoring DannyBorgstrom, pushing the UE lead to 4-1. Junior shortstop Craig Shepherd would cap the rally with an RBI single to center, driving in Craig, giving Evansville a 5-1 advantage.

Lukas would recover from his shaky start, tossing four shutout innings, striking out seven in the process. The junior right-hander was one pitch away from getting out of sixth, when Troy Alexander tagged Lukas for a solo shot to right, ending his day, after tossing 120 pitches. Weigand (1-1) would get out of the frame without any more damage. However, in the seventh, the Trojans would whittle into the lead with another tally.

Little Rock would go onto load up the bases on Weigand with no one out in the bottom of the eighth, which would bring junior right-hander Jake McMahill in relief. Chase Coker would greet McMahill with a grand slam home run, giving the Trojans a lead they would not relinquish.

The loss dropped the Aces to 1-4 on the season, while the win gives Little Rock (1-4) their first of the season.

Aces Pick Up Big Win In weekend Final

 Eryn Gould notched two hits and scored twice while Emily Lockhart tossed another complete game to lead the University of Evansville softball team to a 4-2 win over Creighton on Sunday morning.

Evansville (6-6) picked up four hits on the day with Gould notching two.  Katie McLean and Mackenzie McFeron had the other two.  Lockhart went seven innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out four.

The Purple Aces scored single runs in both the first and second inning.  Gould hit a leadoff double to begin the game and would score when Bailee Bostic reached on an error.  In the second, McFeron drew a 1-out walk before working her magic on the basepaths.  She stole second base before moving to third on a passed ball.  Gould reached on an error, allowing McFeron to add to the lead, making it a 2-0 game.

Creighton (5-7) picked up two runs to tie the game in the bottom of the third, but Evansville countered in the fifth.  McLean singled to lead off the frame before advancing to second on a Mea Adams sacrifice.  Another Bluejay error helped McLean give the lead back to the Aces.  In the seventh, UE added an insurance run when Gould came home on the fifth Creighton error of the day.

Lockhart was able to finish it off from there, picking up her third victory of the season.

Next weekend, the Aces head to Birmingham, Alabama for a tournament hosted by Samford.  The Aces will take on Western Kentucky, Houston Baptist, Jackson State and Samford in the tournament.

“READERS FORUM” FEBRUARY 25, 2018

11

We hope that today’s “READERS FORUM” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way?

HERE”S WHAT ON MIND TODAY.

Recently the Republicans Legislature rejected a proposal authored by Representative Ryan Hatfield (D-Evansville) that would have funded a pedestrian bridge over U.S. Highway 41 in Evansville near Benjamin Bosse High School?  We agree with Mr.Hatfield that “We have a pedestrian bridge for nearly every other high school in town and it is time we protect Bosse students too.”

WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND TODAY?

Todays“Readers Poll” question is: Should the Republican-controlled State Legislature approved a pedestrian bridge for Bosse High school students?

FEBRUARY 25TH, 2019 AMANDA PORTER INDIANA

The University of Evansville community is celebrating the achievements of one of its own. 2003 UE graduate Rami Malek is nominated for the best actor award for his portrayal of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.

Sterling Square hosted an Oscar watch party featuring food and desserts. The event also serves as a fundraiser for the university’s new lab theatre.

“It also serves us very well in recruiting purposes,” says UE theatre director Sharla Cowden.

“We audition over 22 hundred students every year. You accept only 40 in the first year class, so we really feel this will bow well for us on a national level too, being able to improve the quality of students that come to the university.”

In addition to watching the Oscars, patrons played games including guessing who would win in each category.
