SIU begins draining Campus Lake to combat toxic algae SHYANNE JASPER | @sjasper_DE

SIU officials hope draining Campus Lake will resolve years of toxic algae blooming in the body of water near Thompson Point. The most recent plan to clean up the lake includes installing siphons — or bent pipes — to partially drain the body of water and remove built up plant nutrients from the shorelines, said Kevin Bame, SIU’s vice chancellor for administration and finance. Physical Plant temporarily closed the sidewalk and bridge leading over the dam on the lake’s east side Wednesday to begin placing the siphons. The university has begun pumping water out of the lake — closed since late June because of high levels of the algae, also known as cyanobacteria. The water will be pumped into nearby Piles Fork Creek, Bame said. “This is going to be a very gradual process,” Bame said of the drainage. “It is at least going to take 30 days to lower the water six to eight feet, revealing 20 acres of shoreline showing.” From there, it will take about 12 to 15 months for the water to return to its normal level, he said. The lowered water level will also expose more of the plant buildup that helps feed the toxic algae, zoology professor Marjorie Brooks said as she removed a leaf-filled handful of bluishgreen muck from the lake Thursday. “This algae may look like it is just on the surface, but it’s not,” she said. “It is built up and in some cases can reach as far as three to six feet deep.” Bame said SIU’s administration searched for many different solutions to help the lake, including the use of chemicals, but decided syphoning would be the best and most ecofriendly solution. Brooks, who studies freshwater sources, said she agrees with the decision. “Draining the lake by syphons is actually quite brilliant because the syphons get the water flowing,” Brooks

said. “Once it’s flowing, the syphon automatically pulls it through and therefore, you save on electricity.” In total, the drainage and nutrient removal is going to cost about $350,000 — funded by Physical Plant, the SIU Foundation and University Housing, Bame said. This isn’t the first time the university put money into trying to end the lake’s toxicity. In the past year, a series of tests were conducted on the lake in the hopes to find the source of an unusually high presence of fecal matter believed to be contributing to the cyanobacterial growth. At one point it was suspected the 60-year-old Thompson Point sewer pipes were the culprit behind the concerning presence of sewage. Last fall, in an attempt to indicate areas where there could potentially be leaks in the pipes, the university spent $63,500 on dye, smoke and camera tests. The test results did not indicate any problem with the pipes that would explain the E. coli levels, but the cyanobacteria blooms persisted. This June, for the third year in a row, SIU closed the lake after tests revealed unsafe levels of toxic algae, Bame said. Even though this project cannot guarantee a long term solution and completely fix the lake of this condition, there are ways to help

maintain the lake after the substances are removed, Brooks said. “We currently have a couple of aerators in the lake and they are pulling water from a deeper level of the lake, to mix air flow and help turn the water over,” Bame said. “Marjorie Brooks also suggested fountains, which we will continue to look at, but as of right now, we are taking everything one step at a time.” For now, signs advising fishers and pets to avoid the water remain scattered around the shores of the 43-acre lake. “There are very complex molecules in cyanobacteria, which can potentially be very dangerous,” professor emeritus Daniel Nickrent said. “Some students received rashes from contact with the water for long periods of time, but it also can potentially harm the student’s liver and kidneys.” Even though the pungent odor produced by the alga has not been as strong as it’s been during hotter, drier weather, the lake closure still doesn’t go unnoticed. “I have lived here my whole life, but I have been at the lake more recently now that Pokémon Go is out,” Carbondale community member John Caraker said. “I remember when we could rent boats to go on dates or go fishing, and when you could actually eat the fish.” Staff writer Shyanne Jasper can be reached at sjasper@dailyegyptian.com.

Carbondale city council, community members discuss fining landlords for ‘chronic nuisance’ homes BILL LUKITSCH | @lukitsbill

City council members and community residents spent nearly two hours Tuesday night hashing out a proposed city ordinance that would hold landlords accountable for allowing massive or potentially dangerous parties to persist on their properties. Carbondale Police Chief Jeff Grubbs and Sgt. Amber Ronketto unveiled the first draft of the ordinance to receive feedback from city council members and the public. The measure to enact new regulations spurred from a community forum in the spring that identified “chronic nuisance residences” as a top priority among those who attended. “This isn’t an ordinance where we’re trying to regulate any old house party,” Grubbs said, adding that most of the parties in the city do not see a police presence and landlords generally work with the department to correct problems with tenants. But there are a handful of landowners, he said, who allow tenants to violate laws with little regard for concerns of local law enforcement and the community. Proposed is a three-strike system that would allow the police chief to declare a rental property as a “chronic nuisance house” after consultation with the city manager. It defines such a property as a dwelling where at least three unlawful activities specified in the ordinance occur “in, at or about the unit” during a oneyear period. That definition widens to six offenses per year in residences classified as hotels and motels under the ordinance. The unlawful activities outlined in the draft include public indecency, illegal parking, damage to property, obstructing traffic, loud music and reckless conduct. Any felony or misdemeanor crime committed on or about the property could also be considered a strike. In the coming weeks, the police department is set to meet with local

landlords and SIU administrators to solidify a proposal for the council’s consideration, Grubbs said. The chief plans to involve student representatives from Undergraduate Student Government and Graduate and Professional Student Council for additional insight on how to allow students a college experience while creating a safer environment. “We’re a university community,” Grubbs said. “This isn’t about killing the fun.” Current police practices include issuing individual tickets to tenants for violations of city ordinances. Those lack teeth, Grubbs said, and the department has yet to have an ordinance that provides the opportunity to work directly alongside landlords. First steps under the proposal would be to initiate contact with owners of problem properties and provide counsel. If no measures are taken by landlords to correct persistent problems, fines ranging from $750 to $1,500 would be imposed on landowners for subsequent offenses after strike three. Ronketto, who helped create the first draft, said the department looked at data from other cities around the state that have put similar regulations in place. A large population of transient renters comprise a majority of the city’s residents. Between 2010 and 2014, a mere 26 percent of homes were occupied by owners, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. “Basically, we took the consideration that this is not going to affect a lot of residences, but given that we are over 70 percent non-owner occupied, we need to have some leverage to help abate these instances,” Ronketto said. While several community members stood to support the proposal, some questioned the ordinance’s necessity, implementation, legality, ambiguity and whether it could be racially

discriminatory. Skeptics also cited the broad scope of power the chief would have in declaring properties as chronic nuisance homes. Jessica Lynn, a Carbondale resident, was one of those skeptics. Lynn said the approach of creating the ordinance would push landlords to evict tenants hastily. She encouraged the council to explore alternatives that involve more community engagement instead of increased policing. On the other end, Don Monty, a former city councilman and former mayor who serves on the city’s Liquor Control Advisory Board, said nuisance properties have a history of becoming crime problems in neighborhoods. He suggested a carefully written ordinance could be the “missing ingredient” in dealing with problem tenants. In addition to considering the ordinance, Councilman Adam Loos proposed the idea of licensing landlords. “If you’ve got a chainsaw and you want to take $20 from me to cut a branch off my tree, you have to have a license to do that,” he said. “You can’t cut a branch off a tree for pay without a license, and yet you can rent these properties to people — just go buy it, and open up shop. It’s crazy.” Councilwoman Jessica Bradshaw said she initially thought the ordinance was a good idea, but hearing some comments from the audience made her uncertain. She said she would not support the ordinance in its current form and hoped another draft would be submitted for future discussion before bringing the matter to a vote. “Looking at this ordinance now, I think it’s too subjective and I’m concerned about the rights of the tenants,” Bradshaw said.

Carbondale is home for new business dean BREY MONG DELANE @BreyMong_DE

SIU’s new business dean’s relationship with southern Illinois can be traced back decades to a strange set of circumstances involving London, musicians and a beautiful woman. Terry Clark, of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, who was appointed dean of the College of Business on July 14, said his connection to southern Illinois started long before he first stepped foot in Carbondale as a student in 1972. “When the train pulled in I remember thick snow, seeing the glove factory and seeing the sign for Carbondale for the first time,” Clark said. “Little did I know, it would be the beginning of a lifetime relationship with Carbondale, southern Illinois and SIU.” Before Clark moved to the U.S., he spent some time as a street musician to help pay rent after he was laid off from a construction job in England. “[My friends and I] saw World War II veterans playing the accordion on the street, so we thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if young people went out and were doing 'The Beatles' or 'Rolling Stones' and 'Bob Dylan' songs?'” Clark said. Their first go-around — with Clark on guitar and harmonica — was a success, so the next day they decided to play at a tube station, or the subway, in the heart of London. “I looked one way and I saw this long blonde-haired girl in a green dress,” he said. “She comes by once, twice and a third time, she [stopped] and asked can she join in. And we said yes. And she can really sing.” Clark said though he and his friends made plans to meet up with this unnamed woman the next day, they ended up sleeping in and forgetting to meet with the girl. But one of the men with him, from a town about 20 miles north of Carbondale called Du Quoin, ended up running into her later in the day. “She had only been in London a

few days and she wrote a letter to her mother saying, ‘Mom, I’ve met the man I’m going to marry and I don’t know his name,” Clark said of the woman he eventually married. “That was me,” he said with a smile. Clark and his wife, Marion, have since moved to southern Illinois and have been married for 44 years. "She raised seven crazy, interesting kids," he said of his wife. "And believe me it’s a full-time job. She is one of the most widely read people I know." But she wasn’t the only love he has had since he stepped off that train. “I came down here and I loved it,” he said. “I instantly I fell in love with Carbondale and SIU.” Clark went on to receive his bachelor's degree in aviation technology and master’s in business administration from SIU before receiving a doctorate in marketing at Texas A&M University. In 1999, he returned to SIU to work as a marketing professor. He served as chair of the marketing department for 10 years. "I've had a lot of exotic jobs, I worked on the towboats, I was a deckhand and a second mate on the Mississippi,” he said. Clark also created commercials for Barking Dawg Productions to "craft the way outsiders see the campus, as to opposed to previous ads comparing SIUC to other universities,” he said. "My colleague who is retired now, had this idea of if you compare us to other universities, it would seem that they have us beat on every point,” he said. “But … if you look at our unique geography and you look at the contrast of the things you can do here, it allows us to tell a story.” Now Clark hopes to focus on expanding the business college’s online program. He also wants to open a student/faculty lounge to continue strengthening SIU's social environment. "All human beings crave roots and to belong somewhere," he said. "And the funny thing, when I stepped off the train that snowy night, I instantly felt like I belonged."

A wealth of history and oddity: the SIU Museum archives MARNIE LEONARD | @marsuzleo

Of 70,000 artifacts kept by the SIU University Museum, Susannah Munson, curator of anthropology for the museum and its archives, keeps a list of the ones she finds most unusual. Munson’s list includes a leopard skin acquired in the 1950s, a New Guinea costume made of mud and grass, and jewelry once given as a gift to the wife of Henry Kissinger. “I’ve been here for eight or so years and I still run across things I’ve never seen before,” Munson said. “I walked past a sculpture one day and thought, ‘That’s really cool, is that new?’ and I looked it up and we got it in 1982.” Dona Bachman, director of the University Museum and the Museum Studies program, said the museum aims “to preserve things forever.”

“That’s our vision — it’s not possible, but we make all the efforts,” Bachman said. Bachman said the museum archives are closed to the public and mostly used for storage, research and specialized class groups that arrange to come study the artifacts. These classes include those from the theater department to observe the expansive clothing collection, the geology students research of the rocks and minerals housed there and the metalworking classes inspect the various sculptures residing within the archive walls. But Bachman said she still feels the archives are not utilized to their full potential. The location of the archives can also be inconvenient, she said. Though the museum itself is located in Faner Hall, the archived

artifacts are housed off McLafferty Road more than a mile from main campus. “It could be used so much better, but part of it is location, and part of it’s time,” Bachman said. “It’s hard to convince professors to work this into their schedule and try to transport their classes out here.” Nonetheless, Munson said the archives are beneficial to an array of SIU departments. “We have things related to aviation, engineering, forestry — these departments might not think we have something of interest to them but we have a little bit of everything,” she said. Walking through the storage rooms of the archives makes that abundantly clear. Please see MUSEUM | NEXT PAGE

In one climate controlled room, the grass, wood and mud constructed artifacts from New Guinea in the late 1800s are situated, and in another, set models from a former SIU theater department set designer can be found. Rows upon rows of artifacts line the main storage area with pieces from all over the world sitting on shelves waiting, to be used for research or classwork. Artifacts from SIU also abound. “There’s the old Grey Dawg,” Munson said, gesturing toward the nowidle mascot suit. “Actually, sometimes when I’m walking through here and the lights are off it’s a little creepy — he’s got his arms up like he’s going to attack you.” The archives can be a pretty spooky place, she said. The only lights that are typically on in the storage rooms are the ones directly by where people are working on projects. This helps to reduce light damage to the objects. “I’ve totally walked through here when it’s mostly dark and thought, ‘This is how horror movies start,’” Munson said. “As an archive employee, even things that at first appear weird quickly become normal,” said Kyle Clymore, assistant curator of collections with the University Museum. “The more you work with a collection the more artifacts that have a ‘spooky’ aesthetic or a maybe a strange story become commonplace.” One of Clymore’s favorite collections is made up of more than 80 Japanese sword guards, or “tsuba.” “They have really beautiful sculpted imagery that was probably used by actual Samurai at one point,” he said. “That collection was probably the first one that I fell in love with as an archive worker.” Another climate controlled room shelters valuable artwork, such as paintings and prints done by Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol. There is one area dedicated solely to clothing, from a Civil War era wedding dress to an old SIU coach’s jacket to a woolen bathing costume from the early 1900s with matching swim-shoes. Further off, gruesome

medical equipment, such as an amputation kit, is stored. There are no plans in place for opening the archives up to the public yet, but Bachman said it’s certainly not out of the question. “You could make an argument for opening [the archives] to the public but we just don’t have the staff to do it right now,” she said. “And you can’t let in too many people at any one time because it’s just too easy to pick up things and take them.”

And the possibility of theft goes against the archive’s mission, one that Bachman, Munson and Clymore try to strive in their work. “As an archive worker, I’ve always felt that it is my responsibility to help our artifacts ‘live’ by keeping them safe and by keeping their individual stories alive,” Clymore said.

Deceased find new life through SIU body donation programs MARNIE LEONARD | @marsuzleo

One of eight body farms in the world exists at SIU’s flagship campus, but it isn’t something that’s advertised. “We don’t want people trying to find it,” said Gretchen Dabbs, co-founder and director for the Complex for Forensic Anthropology Research. “There have been problems at other facilities where … people would try to climb over the fence and steal body parts.”

physical plant came into the outdoor facility and accidentally mowed over a body, Dabbs said. Students made the most of the situation and turned it into a new project. “We did a systematic study of the variations and what size pieces you should have or how far you would have to search for remains that have been mowed over to find those pieces,” Dabbs said. “That was a fun one.”

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms Viviana Valencia, then a junior from Chicago studying mortuary science and funeral service, uses dissecting scissors and tweezers with peers to remove skin from a cadaver and identify bone structures March 23, 2015, during an embalming lab in the College of Applied Sciences and Arts.

At the research complex, faculty and graduate students study the effects of the southern Illinois environment and weather conditions on the human body after death. The facility keeps 35 human bodies, and it has accepted about six or seven a year since the program started taking donations in 2012. Although the university has not experienced any vandalism, sometimes things still go awry. The lawnmower study came about when someone from the university’s

Studies focus on determining how long a person has been dead based on decomposition rates, trauma experienced throughout their lifetime and, through skeletal examination, their biological profile — things like age, ancestry, sex and stature, Dabbs said. The bodies are usually kept in the outdoor lab for about two to three years, depending on decomposition rates. The research complex also conducts other projects, usually

with pig bodies, before testing the results on human body donors to compare results. Though the term “body farm” has become something of a colloquialism, Dabbs said it’s inaccurate and somewhat derogatory. “We don’t farm bodies, we don’t raise bodies — it’s not [a term] that those of us in the field actually use,” she said. Research results from the facilities are also sometimes used to help law enforcement identify bodies. Dabbs said she is consulted by local police whenever a body is too badly decomposed for traditional autopsies. This is helpful in police cases to determine which suspects have alibis based on the time frame of deaths in murder investigations, or in matching bodies with known missing persons based on biological traits or physical markings, she said. Dabbs said the research complex frequently deals with misconceptions about their work. “A lot of people think we’re about, like, mysticism — that we’re doing things with the bodies that are weird,” Dabbs said. “We’re just trying to do good science and understand how bodies decompose in different environments and situations.” Elsewhere on campus, another program is working with the deceased in a different way. SIU's undergraduate bachelor degree program of Mortuary and Funeral Science is the only one offered at an Illinois public university. There are more than 100 students in the program learning the skills necessary to become funeral directors, embalmers and morgue workers, program director Anthony Fleege said. “I usually say two things to the young students — this is a profession for people [who] want to help other

people, and for people [who] have a morbid curiosity about death,” Fleege said. “It’s not easy being around the deceased all the time, and last year when I did the orientation to the cadaver lab in the first week, I had one girl switch majors.” Like the research complex, bodies are donated, but through SIU's medical school. There are more restrictions for these donations, such as how tall or heavy-set a body can be. The medical school accepts 30 to 40 bodies a year, and turns away 50 to 100, Fleege said. Fleege said this is so students can learn on bodies that are as complete as possible. Students typically study facial reconstruction, embalming and cadaver dissection, Fleege said. Also like the complex, the mortuary science program receives its fair share of misconceptions. “I’m a pretty happy-go-lucky kind of guy, so people are surprised,” said Brian Powell, a sophomore mortuary science major from Hinsdale. “They see funeral directors as morbid and creepy and never happy, but really it’s just about helping others.” Powell, whose father owns a funeral home in Hinsdale, said he remembers growing up being comfortable around death. “I learned how to ride my bike in the chapel. I had my birthday parties there

when I was a kid,” he said. “Kids were weirded out, but I didn’t think about it. ... Things like walking downstairs and seeing a body — I’m the only person that thinks that’s normal.” Erin Pratl, a junior in the program from Oak Lawn, has also faced misunderstandings about her major. “People will say, ‘You don’t look like a funeral director,’” Pratl said. “Just because it has to do with death people think we should be wearing skulls around our neck.” These perceptions could be from a lack of discussion about death, said Cydney Griffith, an associate professor in the program. “A lot of times our students don’t admit at the bars ... that they’re a mortuary science major when they’re asked,” Griffith said. “Either they’re really proud of it or they don’t like to admit it.” Fleege said everyone in the program has their own catalyst for being there. For him, it was a memory from attending a funeral when he was younger. “Most of our students have known from an early age that this is what they want to do,” Fleege said. “You don’t just wake up one day and go, ‘Oh, maybe I’ll try mortuary science.’" Staff writer Marnie Leonard can be reached at mleonard@dailyegyptian.com.

Recent SIU grad on the Olympics being a local icon and what's to come TED WARD | @TedWard_DE

The 2016 Rio Olympics was a first for one former SIU track and field star, but she almost made it a dangerous experience for one of the world's top athletes. "The nets we practiced in at the Navy base were falling apart, so I actually threw my hammer right as [six-time gold medalist] Allyson Felix was walking by and almost hit her," Deanna Price, who graduated from SIU in May, jokingly said. "I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I almost killed Allyson Felix.'" Price and Felix brushed off the incident and went on to have success on the world's largest stage. After qualifying for Team USA with a third-place finish at the Olympic trials, the two-time NCAA hammer throw champion went on to finish eighth in the world in Rio with a 70.95 meter toss.

me down because it gave me a sense of being at home." It took a little bit of generosity from the community to get her parents to the games. Shortly after qualifying, Price set up a GoFundMe page that amassed more than $18,000, allowing her parents to travel and stay in Rio. "It was really heartwarming to see a community come together and the kindness they showed us was incredible," Price's mother Ann said. "I cried everyday with just how much support we received and it definitely shows what a great community we live in." The Price family left their door in Moscow Mills, Mo., — a town of 2,503 about an hour outside of St. Louis — unlocked so people could drop off money in the home. One donor dropped off a $100 bill and took a slice of cake off the family counter.

“It may be the thousadth time you've had to meet someone but it's their first time meeting you so you want to leave a good impression.” - Deanna Price former SIU track and field star

As the day of competition — Aug. 15 — arrived, Price said she became anxious. "I was just really nervous and not really on my game," she said. "Then all I could hear was my mom's voice and I looked up to see her running around with an American flag. That really calmed

"We thought that was a little odd, so we began locking our door again after that," Ann said with laughter. For Price, the experience was just as big as the performance. "You watch the Olympics as a kid over and over again and to be there was phenomenal," she said.

"To compete in front of thousands and thousands of fans with millions of more watching gave me a platform to show others that this could be their future." While most athletes resided in lavish apartment complexes, the one Price and her fellow teammates stayed in wasn't ready a few months prior to the games. "The [United States Olympic Committee] actually had to hire their own contractors to finish the building before we arrived," she said. "You can tell a lot about a country from their sewage system and we weren't allowed to flush paper products. So we had to carry stuff like that out in plastic doggie bags." Outside of competing, Price had encounters with some of the top athletes for the United States. She ran into Venus and Serena Williams, talked to USA women's basketball team member Brittney Griner, watched beach volleyball players Kerri Walsh-Jennings and April Ross and had an unexpected meeting with an all-time great athlete. "You mostly hang out with your team, so everywhere you go you're bound to run into someone," she said. "When the elevator opened next thing I knew I'm standing next to Michael Phelps." Embracing the celebrity lifestyle back home has been a relatively easy transition for Price. Despite constantly getting stopped around town, Price said she's more than happy to talk to anyone who greets her. "It may be the thousandth time you've had to meet someone but it's their first time meeting you so you want to leave a good impression," she said. "You want to show others that athletes are

people too and not just jocks so you always want to be kind and respectful to everyone." With the Olympics over, the American collegiate record holder plans on settling back into life in Carbondale before training for the 2017 IAAF World Championships in London and the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru. These events will be small steps

in Price's plan to compete in the Olympics once again. "The goal is to compete ... in 2020, but for now I'm just taking it year by year because you never know what can happen," she said. "But to experience the Olympics again is definitely on my radar." Staff writer Ted Ward can be reached at tward@dailyegyptian.com.

Saluki football notebook: Column: New SIU football players Scouting the Redhawks show promise for rest of season JACOB GAERTNER | @JGAERTNERDE

After a tough loss Saturday against Florida Atlantic, the SIU football team (0-1) is looking to recover against Southeast Missouri State (0-1). When the teams played each other last year, the Redhawks defeated the Salukis 27-24, but finished with a 4-7 record to end the season. SEMO is coming off a 3517 defeat at the hands of the University of Memphis last week, where they struggled to move the ball on offense, gaining only 253 total yards. The Redhawks forced three turnovers, only giving up one turnover. But the team failed to slow the Tigers' offense, allowing 406 yards and 35 points. Their struggles on defense bode well for SIU's fast-paced, quick-hit offense, which gained 530 yards of total offense against the Owls.

down Young. The Redhawks' 2015 starting running back, senior Tremane McCullough — who had a 1,000yard season last year — converted to wide receiver this year and led the team in receiving yards with 69 against Memphis. McCullough was SEMO's second leading receiver in 2015 with 279 yards, but the Redhawks lost their top receiver, Paul McRoberts, over the offseason to graduation. At quarterback, the Redhawks started junior transfer Jesse Hosket over the 2015 starter Dante Vandeven. Vandeven was the Ohio Valley Conference's freshman of the year in 2015, passing for 1,568 yards and rushing for 292, the second leading rusher. Hosket played most of the game, but late in the first, Vandeven entered the game and played three snaps. He threw three incomplete passes, one of which was an interception.

Their struggles on defense bode well for SIU's fast-paced, quick-hit offense, which gained 530 yards of total offense against the Owls. On the other hand, SEMO's defense will return each of its top four tacklers from last season, including two linebackers and two defensive backs. The Saluki defense will have to watch out for senior running back Will Young, who gained 114 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries against a Football Bowl Subdivision defense that was the 38th best run defense out of 127 teams in 2015. SIU's defense allowed 170 rushing yards on 3.8 yards per carry and will need to step it up to slow

The current starter came back in on the next drive and played the rest of the game, amassing only 143 yards and a touchdown on 19 for 31 passing. Both SEMO quarterbacks are relatively inexperienced, such as SIU's quarterbacks, so the defense will need to pressure the young quarterbacks to make them uncomfortable passing the ball. The Salukis and Redhawks will face off at 6 p.m. Saturday at Saluki Stadium. Staff writer Jacob Gaertner can be reached at JGaertner@dailyegyptian.com.

SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE

Before SIU football’s season opener Saturday against Florida Atlantic, fans had multiple personnel questions across the roster. The contest — which the Salukis lost 38-30 — provided an answer, one more positive than some may have expected. Nine of the 22 starters in the game recorded their first as Salukis, and most proved effective. Picking a starting quarterback was the toughest decision new coach Nick Hill had to make in fall camp. When senior transfer Josh Straughan was chosen, it created another question. Straughan answered loudly on Saturday, throwing for 367 yards on 36 completions with a touchdown. Despite throwing 51 passes, he kept the ball out of opponents’ hands, which was a large issue last year, when the Dawgs turned the ball over 25 times. Two other Salukis with strong first showings were the cornerback pair sophomore C.J. Jennings and junior Craig James. The two combined for 10 total tackles, plus 2.5 tackles for loss and two pass breakups. Last season’s secondary got burned far too often. Saturday showed there’s still room to develop after the Dawgs allowed three 35plus yard touchdown plays. Overall, it appears that while not perfect yet, this year’s edition is improved. But perhaps the most impressive newcomer was freshman running

back D.J. Davis. Two weeks ago, offensive coordinator John Van Dam said Davis, originally recruited as a cornerback, had been one of the most impressive Salukis during training camp. On Saturday, he showed why. Davis provided in multiple facets of the game, picking up a

big 20-yard run on a first quarter touchdown drive, averaging nearly 25 yards per kickoff return. He even recorded a special teams tackle. The offensive line had three underclassmen make their first starts. In terms of yardage, the Salukis won three quarters against a Football Bowl Subdivision team. The one quarter they didn’t is what did them in. As time progresses, these new performers will mesh even closer with the mainstays of the team. And as they do, this team could surpass expectations.
