Collaboration leads USI team to top honors at Alberta Energy Challenge
A team of four University of Southern Indiana students from the Romain College of Business and Pott College of Science, Engineering, and Education, recently brought home a first place win from the sixth annual Alberta Energy Challenge (AEC), hosted by the University of Alberta School of Business and the Commerce Energy and Environment Group. The USI team included Connor Curry, accounting; Ryan Elpers, engineering; Alicia Bowling, marketing;Â and Casey Montgomery, industrial supervision.
The AEC is an international undergraduate business case competition focused on exploring the opportunities and challenges present in the energy sector. This year’s case study dealt with the Alberta Oil Sands, and focused on worker issues, such as capturing and transferring knowledge from an aging workforce.
This is USI’s second year competing in the event, and its first time placing. This is also the Romain College of Business’ fifth first place win in a case study competition.
Dr. Brandon Field, associate professor of engineering and one of the team’s coaches, said the collaboration between the Romain College of Business and Pott College of Science, Engineering, and Education gave the students an edge over other teams. “The coach of the second place team told me he could tell the advantage of having engineering students mixed with the business students,†Field said. “The keynote speaker at the closing ceremony talked about the importance of interdisciplinary teams in the real world.â€
The competition also provided students the opportunity to network with industry professionals, as well as other business and engineering students from around the world. Past companies represented at AEC include Shell, Cenovus, Suncor, Junewarren-Nickel’s Energy Group, CMA, Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, and Information Network.

Aces golf heads to Butler Fall Invitational Evansville to play on Monday and Tuesday
For the first time this season, the Purple Aces men’s and women’s golf teams will be in action on the same weekend as they travel to the Butler Fall Invitational on Monday and Tuesday.
Highland Country Club in Indianapolis will play host to the event.
Junior Kayla Katterhenry improved to a perfect 2-0 this fall by winning the Loyola Fall Invitational last time out for the Purple Aces. Her 72 last Tuesday was the lowest round by any participant in the event as she was the only player to shoot a round under par. Coupled with her two rounds of 74 on that Monday, Katterhenry’s final day total of 72 helped her finish the event with a 1-over 220. It was six shots ahead of Chicago State’s Rachel Johnson, who finished with a 226.
Behind Katterhenry was Maggie Camp. The junior capped off the event with an 83 and finished with a 3-round total of 245. That placed her in a tie for 27th. One behind her was sophomore Giulia Mallmann, who also carded an 83 on Tuesday to finish with a 246. She tied for 29th. As a team, UE placed fourth out of the ten participating teams.
Earlier this week at the NKU Fall Collegiate Classic, the men came home in 8th place. Tyler Gray fired an even 71 to finish the tournament in a tie for 25th place with a score of 223. After identical rounds of 76 on Sunday, Gray improved by five strokes in the third round. Leading the Aces on the overall tournament leaderboard was Rick Voyvodic. After ranking in the top ten following the first day, the senior shot a 75 in round three to finish with a 218. He tied for 13th place.
Joseph Addante capped off the tournament with a 78. Coupled with his Sunday scores of 72 and 79, Addante posted a 229 to tie for 39th. One shot behind him was Will Knights, whose Monday round of 80 gave him a 230 for the event.

WHEN LIFE BEGINS by Jim Redwine
Gavel Gamut
By Jim Redwine
(Week of 05 October 2015)
WHEN LIFE BEGINS
I will leave the ultimate struggle over when life begins to the biologists and theologians. As to the more important query of when the enjoyment of life is maximized, I turn my thoughts to the armchair pundits and the late night comedians.
I say late night only for effect. Actually, once the clock strikes ten, I have usually already been asleep for an hour or so. However, I do have to get out of my chair in front of the television and continue my night’s sleep in bed.
Be that as it may, the issue of when life begins still must be addressed. Is it at age forty when the insanity of youth has somewhat waned? Is it when all children are out of the house? Some crass pet owners postulate it is when Fido passes into the great beyond. For some it might be when the last alimony payment is made or even the last car payment.
For some time I have been visited by the thought a happy life might require the absence rather than the accumulation of stuff. You know, stuff such as the entertainment industry and the media say one is an abject failure without. Examples might be sparkling white teeth, toenails without fungus, skin without blemishes, hair without vacancies and waistlines that are actually visible.
Of course, other more consumer type stuff such as vehicles with enough horsepower to haul a herd of horses or specialty drugs with the promise of youth and life everlasting are continuously hawked across the airwaves. Do such reminders of our mortality make you happy? Not me.
It is the absence of the clamor for things long gone or for things we never really had that may make life worth living. Maybe it’s akin to the old, but correct, formula for economic success: Spend less than we make. Or it could be what our parents tried to tell us: Live within our means and be thankful for what we have, not bitter over what we have not.
Should you have any interest in this topic of a happy life, I refer you to a book by Tom Morris, The Oasis Within. Dr. Morris, who has a Ph.D. in philosophy and Religious Studies from Yale University, was a Professor of Philosophy at Notre Dame. He spoke to the statewide conference of Indiana judges last month. His simple formula for success is to avoid trouble and live for success, i.e. happiness.
For those times and situations we all face that cause us stress, or worse, Morris says first Prepare our bodies and minds by exercise and training. Then Perceive our surroundings at all times, be aware.
Next we should Anticipate trouble. We know life will throw us challenges so we should try to figure out what and when they will come. Then we should Avoid them if we can and respond wisely if we cannot. Part of this wise response is to Concentrate our reactions to trouble and then Control how we deal with it. Morris calls this device for dealing with difficult situations his Triple Double for Trouble.
And for achieving success, Morris sets out his seven C’s: (1) start with a clear Conception of what we want; (2) begin your effort with Confidence; (3) keep focused on your objective – Concentrate; (4) work with a stubborn Consistency and an (5) emotional Commitment; (6) maintain a good Character, and; (7) cultivate the Capacity to enjoy your success.
In my opinion, Morris’s philosophy, that is, his advice on a way of life, is more likely to help us start living a happy life than some salesman’s tout of a new mouthwash.
