Trump Rally to be held in Murphysboro STAFF R EPORT | Daily Egyptian

President Trump will be holding his rally on Oct. 27 at Hangar 6 of Southern Illinois Airport in Murphysboro according to his campaign website. The doors will open at 1:30 p.m., the event starts at 4:30 p.m. Previously the Daily Egyptian obtained a memo in which Carbondale City Manager Gary Williams said to city council members Trump could be holding a rally in Carbondale on Oct. 27. “The President has scheduled similar visits to Granite City, Springfield, Evansville, and Cape Girardeau (Cape was canceled but is being rescheduled for 11/3),” Williams said in the memo. “PD staff has spoken to police in those other communities and they

commented that the visit was to campaign for their respective federal elected officials.” Williams said if the President does come to Carbondale for a rally, Air Force One will be landing at Southern Illinois Airport. He said they haven't told police department staff what the event is, but they're required to be available on Oct. 27. Williams said although they don't know why Carbondale was selected as a rally spot, the assumption is that Trump is here to campaign for Rep. Mike Bost who is in a tight re-election race. Williams said there is also speculation Trump will announce that SIU has been awarded a BUILD grant for $14.64 million. SIU Chancellor's office contacted the city and said they've heard the

same speculation. After the news of a potential rally, Carbondale community members from organizations called WTF Carbondale and the Carbondale Solidarity Network posted an event on Facebook called “City Assembly to Shut Down Trump.” “For reasons that aren't yet clear, the city council meeting has been canceled,” the event description said. “We are calling for a citywide assembly to take place at the same time and place. If the council is not meeting, we will issue a condemnation of Trump's proposed visit on our own.” The event description said they will be holding their event on Tuesday, at City Hall, at 7 p.m. Daily Egyptian campus desk can be reached at editor@dailyegyptian.com.

Jennifer Johnson’s music and teaching talents work in tandem EMILY COOPER | @ecooper212

Jennifer Johnson is a former SIU student, a local musician, and a professor whose talent in music and audio production work well throughout her lifestyle. Mark Stoffel, digital media system specialist, said Johnson is putting her own stamp on her career because she is extremely talented and creative. “She’s a very accomplished musician,” Stoffel said. Johnson said she came to the university in 2006 to receive her undergraduate degree in music, then returned for her masters in media arts and also her terminal degree, the highest degree awarded in a given field. “This is where I was focusing more on my chosen media form, which was audio production and a little bit of photography,” Johnson said. “Now, I'm teaching. In between that time and teaching, I had a five year break where I worked, and I was freelance musician.” Johnson said she was a freelance musician for years. “I write music, and I have my own band,” Johnson said. “I’ve had several bands that I’ve worked with, and we play around the Midwest region.” Johnson said teaching helps her learn as much as the students. “If there’s ever a new thing I want to teach I get to learn it as well,” Johnson said. “We just ordered some new equipment, it’s this digital mixing iPad. I get to take a sound board, and walk around the room. I get to play and learn things like that.” Dakota Holden, a junior studying Radio, Television and Digital Media, said the first time he and Johnson met was in an audio

engineering class when she came in to help students record a cover of a Hall and Oates song. “I wasn’t in the class at the time, but they asked me to come in and play guitar," Holden said. "We hit it off. We had a blast recording songs with other students." Over the summer, Johnson had a concert at the Varsity Theater with her own original music, Holden said. “That would’ve been ten songs or so, that were arranged on the spot,” Holden said. “So, she put together

this large band, I played pedal steel for it. We as a group arranged these songs and performed them in less than eight minutes each. It was a wild experience.” Holden said Johnson has made a strong impact on his life. “Her coming here was an important factor of the opportunities that I have now, and the music that I continue to make,” Holden said. Everything in music just informs how to work with a band or a group recording, Johnson said. Teaching is the same thing.

“Everybody has roles, and so when we come into the engineering studio we apply the same concept where students work in groups to record musicians,” Johnson said. “They know they’ll have different functions.” Students will be setting up mics, running the board, working to get the musicians in and filling out documents making sure everything is done the right way, Johnson said. “Everything works like a team, which is how music works in a

lot of ways. It’s team-building,” Johnson said. Holden said Johnson has proven herself to be one of the most advanced engineers. “That I know, and it makes every piece of learning entertaining and fulfilling to us students,” Holden said. “She’s my favorite professor here, and there’s no doubt about it.” Staff reporter Emily Cooper can be reached at ecooper@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter at @ecooper212.

Salukis come out for LGBTQ+ history month AUSTIN P HELPS & K ALLIE C OX

As part of LGBTQ+ history month, students and faculty have told their stories of coming out, all experiences unique. According to the Human Rights Campaign, one out of every two Americans has someone close to them who is gay or lesbian. One out of ten Americans has someone close to them that is transgender. Kiera Yard (She/Her Queer/ Demisexual) Demisexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by not experiencing sexual attraction until a strong emotional connection is established with a specific person, according to Dictionary.com. Kiera Yard, vice president of the Saluki Rainbow Network, said her coming out experience was filled with self-hate and worry of what God would think of her. “I am a Christian woman,” Yard said. “So the hardest part for me was accepting that God would accept me.” Yard said she felt like the day she came out was the day God no longer loved her. “I felt like as soon as I accepted it, that was the day I started sinning,” Yard said. “Not the emotions that I was having, or any of the attraction I was feeling was the sin, it was the accepting it and embracing it and like being proud of it.” Yard said there were many queer people in her family and people in her family don’t typically come out, they just love who they love. She said while she appreciates this, it has been difficult to come out to her friends and boyfriend of three years. “I [wanted] him to know this part of me but I [didn’t] know how to tell him without sounding like I wanted to pursue something else,” Yard said. “He was very accepting of it. He asked a lot of questions which is expected but it was really cool to come out to him as well.”

“There is going to be another [day] and you are going to want to experience that. Just [hang] in there because it will get better.” - Koady Cantu freshman

Yard said religious youth who are afraid to come out should read Romans 3:23. The New International Version of the Bible's Romans 3:23 reads: “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” “So we lie, we cheat, there are some things that we do, and I don’t think that being gay is any worse than anything else,” Yard said. “God loves you no matter what so don’t let that stop you from being who you are.” Yard said her advice to LGBT youth who maybe aren’t religious, is to find their community. “Some people in your life aren’t going to be super accepting but I am under the impression that you get to choose your family,” Yard said. “So if you do not already have a super accepting family, find community and turn them into your family, we have chosen family for a reason.” Alex Harvey (They/Them Queer/Gender-fluid) According to Merriam-Webster gender-fluid is “of or relating to being a person whose gender identity is not fixed.” Alex Harvey, a senior majoring in marketing, said they came out two years ago to their family in a letter. “Pretty much what I did was [write the first sentence as] ‘I am a lesbian,’ in bold underlined words,” Harvey said. “I explained how I’ve known my whole life and I’m not confused or influenced by anyone.”

Harvey said they ended their letter saying they came out through a letter because they were scared of how their parents would respond. “That’s why I did it in this letter and by coming out [it’s given me] a state of mind where I needed to be to be happy and proud of how I identify,” Harvey said. Harvey said after their parents read the letter the reaction went pretty well. “They called me the next day in the afternoon crying in tears like ‘We are so proud of you for coming to tell us this we never meant to have you feel this way,’” Harvey said. Coming out to their parents was the scariest part of the coming out process, Harvey said. “Whenever I would talk about gay stuff like in homework assignments or something like that [they would be like] you might want to tone that down or just rewrite something else,” Harvey said. Harvey said LGBTQ+ youth that are scared to come out should maybe bring up some LGBT news that's happening right now to their parents, to test the waters. “Pretty much my one tip is make a plan, be confident with yourself [...] see how it goes,” Harvey said. Koady Cantu (He/Him Gay) Koady Cantu, a freshman studying art, said he came out when he was a junior in high school at 17-years-old. He knew he was part of the queer community at 13, Cantu said. He

shifted between non-binary and gender-fluid for the longest time until he settled with he/him. Cantu said he had originally tried to come out sooner at 14 but was shunned by his friend which intimidated him from coming out for a couple more years. “I don’t know what happened but junior year really turned around and I came out to the public,” Cantu said. “I did not care what anybody thought. I just did my own thing.” Cantu said his family’s reaction to his coming out was mixed. “They kinda accepted it but it was strained,” Cantu said. “They had fake smiles for a while till they just had to get over it and they were like ‘OK, this is your life now.’” Cantu said when it came to telling his friends it became harder the closer they were to him. “I didn’t want to risk losing their friendship, [but] if they are true friends they will stay,” Cantu said. Cantu said the LGBTQ+ community was accepting of his coming out. “Especially those online are very, very accepting,” Cantu said. “That is where I found a lot of friends that I could relate to or ask questions and help find myself.” Cantu said everyone has their own coming out experiences. “There is going to be another [day] and you are going to want to experience that. Just [hang] in there because it will get better,” Cantu said.

Vernon Cooper, LGBTQ resource center coordinator Vernon Cooper, LGBTQ+ resource center coordinator, said he did not have much of a coming out story. “Where and when I grew up there wasn’t really a culture of understanding non-heterosexuality as an identity,” Cooper said. “It was only a practice. So when I left for college I just started dating who I wanted and never bothered to come out.” Cooper said students may be dealing with internalized beliefs about what it means to be LGBTQ+. “This can lead them to resist seeking out community or campus resources,” Cooper said. “Even after a student has decided to come out, they may face the shifting perceptions of themselves in situations such as classrooms [and] residence halls.” Cooper said in an ideal world there would be no need to come out at all but allies can make this process easier by making themselves available. “We can’t dictate what all of society will do, but only ourselves,” Cooper said. “All you can do is hope that you made yourself available and clear enough as an ally that your friends or classmates will trust you.” Cooper said coming out you owe yourself your own happiness. “And those who love you owe you the decency of not standing in your way,” Cooper said. “And you’ve got a family of Salukis here who are happy to plug that gap if you’ll have us.” Staff reporter Austin Phelps can be reached at aphelps@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter at @austinphelps96.

WSIU hosts 12th district congressional state representative debate C LAIR C OWLEY | Daily Egyptian

Incumbent Illinois state representative Mike Bost (RMurphysboro) debated campaign competitors Brendan Kelly (DSwansea) and Randy Auxier (G-Murphysboro) on various state issues. WSIU televised the 90 minute debate live in Studio B of the Communications building tonight. Jak Tichenor served as moderator among panelists Jennifer Fuller of WSIU Public radio, Alee Quick of Southern Illinoisan, and Beth Hundsdorfer of the Belleville News-Democrat. “As a prosecutor, I’ve had the opportunity from time to time to cross examine witnesses on the stand a few times and you can tell when the pressure is getting to them because they lie and they lie and they lie,” Kelly, current St. Clair county state’s attorney, said. Kelly also said he thinks the pressure in this congressional election must be getting to congressman Bost due to his repeated public deceit from Bost’s constituents. “And that’s the difference between [Bost] and me,” Kelly said. “I have never taken a dime from Nancy Pelosi. [...] [Bost] has taken $16,000 from Bruce Rauner and just came to [Carbondale] from a fundraiser with Paul Ryan.” Bost said he thinks his constituents want his candidacy to remain. “Eleven leaders have endorsed my candidacy,” Bost said. “That’s why the united mine workers support me because I’m working on the issues that we’re talking about.” Bost also said he knows and understands the circumstances of the 12th district. “I’ve worked hard for them,” Bost

said. “I was 23 when I was a county board member because I was concerned about serving my community.” Bost also said he has served this district as a firefighter, local, state and now federal goverment. Auxier, green party candidate and SIU philosophy and communication studies professor, said he will not be caucusing with the democrats or the republicans on a question of political process. “I intend to maintain my independence fiercely so, but in so doing I will work with anyone who makes sense and who wants to work with me,” Auxier said. “Some might worry that that puts me in a position to not be able to do much for southern Illinois.” Auxier also said the freedom he would bring, independent discourse and vote meetings will enable him to make this region a primary focus. “I believe that these are honorable men on either side of me and I’m in between them for the greater good at the moment,” Auxier said. “But, they are also members of great big organizations and they have to play with their organizations.” Auxier also said that doesn’t mean they can’t deviate every once and while. “Brendan said he’s not a cookie cutter democrat and I believe him, but every time he deviates [...] it would likely be to the right,” Auxier said. Auxier also said he can not deviate from anything because he doesn’t belong to any big corporations and doesn’t owe organizations anything. Panelists asked about controversial topics like the MeToo movement initiative,

medical or recreational marijuana, green energy, women’s rights and immigration reform. “We have to make sure we don’t just talk the talk, but we also walk the walk,” Kelly said. Kelly also said he’s had the opportunity to listen to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. “What you notice when you’re in the room with [abuse victims] is the silence,” Kelly said. “They don’t want to have to relive that experience or get on the stand and comfort their attacker.” Kelly also said these victims not only worry about abuse, but also treatment from politicians like Bost that use their personal experience in a cheap political advertisement. “That’s not the only problem in terms of how [Bost treatment of women],” Kelly said. “The healthcare coverage [Bost supports] discriminates against women.” Bost said the budget for women’s health is decided by local administration and they will give

funding to local health facilities. “I believe there was too much controversy that existed [surrounding] the planned parenthood facilities,” Bost said. “I believe our local health department provide the quality services that young women need.” The American military-industrial complex, border control issue, planned parenthood abortion dispute, opioid crisis and pension burden all were debated on as well. “I have co-sponsored dozens of bills to combat the opioid epidemic to improve treatment, training and care for victims of abuse,” Bost said. Bost said his task force is going

to work and move forward with legislation above and beyond to deal with this crisis. “Republicans control the White House, the senate and the house of representatives,” Kelly said. Kelly also said republicans just let the violence against women act expire and there’s absolutely no excuse for that. “The same thing that makes us safe, is the same thing that makes us moral,” Auxier said. Voting for 12th congressional district candidates are on Nov. 6. Staff reporter Claire Cowley can be reached at ccowley@dailyegyptian.com.

Community members gather at City Hall opposing Trump’s Murphysboro rally RANA SCHENKE & BRANDI COURTOIS

Community members gathered on Tuesday evening outside of Carbondale City Hall to protest Trump’s upcoming rally in Murphysboro on Oct. 27. The rally took place outside of City Hall because the City Council canceled their meeting. Council member Adam Loos said he had planned on giving a resolution during the meeting but instead gave it at the rally. In his resolution, Loos called for the city to declare Trump unwelcome in Carbondale. “Assaults have increased when cities hosted rallies organized by Donald J. Trump,” Loos said. “The proper term for politicians who gain or maintain power by scapegoating and demonizing racial and ethnic minorities, women, people with disabilities, and immigrants is fascism.” Mary Howard-Crow, the officiator of the event, opened the event and said the city had refused them a podium, so they made their own. “Tonight’s City Council meeting was canceled, according to a source inside City Hall, because of a credible threat of right-wing paramilitary violence, though the city officially denies this,” Howard-Crow said. Howard-Crow said the mayor of Carbondale claims tonight’s City Council meeting was canceled because there would have been incredibly long public comments and discussion about the current visit. “Their work, your work, our work has created a new type of power that is proven by the assembly of individuals gathered here today,” Nathan Colombo, a local businessman, said. Colombo said while the crowd's actions at the protest were

significant he regretted to say they were not enough. “There is only a future if you recognize where your power is from and how to yield it,” Colombo said. “Your power comes from your ability.

And, you must recognize what that ability is and take it seriously.” He said it may not be safe but it is all too necessary. Colombo said to attendants they were not alone. Layne Ellingsworth, a

spokesperson for the Youth Democratic Socialists of America, said the organization stood in solidarity with the people’s assembly against Trump in the hopes of allowing him, and fascists

everywhere, to know that you are not welcome in this city. Victor Arevalo, a member of the Saluki Rainbow Network, said Carbondale is not welcome to fascists or Trump.

Chase Jordan | chasejordande Salem Woolard, 2, of Carbondale holds a sign outside of City Hall at the City Assembly to Shut Down Trump, Tuesday. “He is disabled. His healthcare is really important to us and it’s in jeopardy. That’s why we’re here.” Chelsea Housden, his mother, said about why they were protesting.

“We are against his disgusting policies,” Arevalo said. Another member of Saluki Rainbow Network, Tomas Cortez, told attendees to be strong in voicing their concerns no matter what happens. “These concerns are not whines from snowflakes, but issues our communities are suffering from and dealing with every day,” Cortez said. Clare Killman, a transgender artist and activist from Herrin, said the supremacy of the Trump nation, over which he is willing to risk nuclear conflict and global ostracism, has no place for transgender people in it. “I’ve had conversations with my husband where he begs me to let him send me to another country because we both live with a fear of violence visited on the trans people of this country,” Killman said. America is the third largest killer of transgender people in the entire world, behind Brazil and Mexico, Killman said. “Instead of sowing division and fear of the other, let’s get to know one another,” Amina ButtSharif, a spokesperson from the

Carbondale Muslim Center, said. “And let’s counter the hate and fear mongering with love and courage.” Butt-Sharif said Trump may be succeeding at temporarily keeping Muslims out of the US but those who were already here would not be silenced or intimidated. Carbondale Solidarity Network will be organizing another rally on Oct. 27 ahead of the Trump rally. The current meeting time is 12 p.m., but may be subject to change. An audience member asked Howard-Crow if the Solidarity Network was aware of a group of SIU students planning on not attending the Trump rally because they felt it gave him more attention. “To that, I say they are welcome to not attend,” Howard-Crow said. “For those who wish to show their presence, be there on Saturday.” Staff reporter Rana Schenke can be reached at rschenke@dailyegyptian.com.

Couples Column: A Halloween marathon EMILY C OOPER | @ecooper212

It’s spooky season which means Halloween is not complete without a Halloween movie marathon. I laid back into Chase’s couch in the same plain room as before when Chase and I spent 12 whole hours watching the Conjuring series. This time it’s a spook-tastic

Halloween edition. Halloween: We started this series with the original Halloween, of course, which I would have to say I forgot how much I loved the theme song music that played in the background every time Michael Myers awkwardly stood in the background of the set scaring the characters.

The music was what really built the suspense throughout the movie. While watching this original movie I found out that it was Chase’s first time watching this one. I was shook. However, the special effects of this original movie were as bad as the original Jaws. Horrific. Chase thought, in comparison

with horror movies today, it wasn’t scary. The acting was stale, but the story line was great. It made complete sense, since the setting took place in the late 1970s, Halloween the movie could’ve been terrifying to people in that time frame. Chase liked the ideas of the original movie, but suggested after

watching that it could be turned into a great movie when the effects, acting and settings for current times are adjusted. The first movie left us a bit bored, but we decided to continue the marathon because what’s a marathon with only one movie? It’s not. Halloween 2:


Wednesday, OctOber 24, 2018 I got up to make some popcorn for the second Halloween while Chase switched out the movies. I moved to the recliner, while Chase laid across the sectional with a blanket covering himself. I pulled a blue and red blanket across the recliner as I ate my popcorn with the Halloween theme song playing in the background as we began the second Halloween. This one was more exciting than the first one, it carried a lot more suspense for me at least. It definitely did its job of continuing the information based off of the first Halloween. It was more murder-fueled than plot-driven, which was kind of boring after sitting there for over an hour filled with nurses running up and down the lonely hospital while Myers walks throughout the halls slashing people away, but it was far better than the first one. We finished that movie in no time, and I was Halloweened out for the night, that same moment Chase was getting sick. Even though Chase was sick we still managed to watch the Rob Zombie Halloween movie the following night. Halloween (2007) Chase only made it through the first half. This movie took a completely different direction than the original series. This one focused way more on the storyline and background. That made it more understanding of the entire situation. The downfall of this movie was that sometimes it seemed like Myers was a good guy. Myers is supposed to be the embodiment of evil, and they tried to make him seem like he was justified to do what he did. Pure evil usually doesn’t need moral justification. On top of that, the murders in this one decided to use as much fake blood as possible. It was a little bit of overkill. That was enough for me, I don’t think I could’ve made it to this film's sequel and also Chase was

Page 11

Without spoiling this movie, the only comment I would have to include is that this movie felt like someone had revised the original, corrected all the mistakes, then put in a lot more time and money to make a truly great horror film. It was awesome. out of commission as he became so sick he couldn’t even open his eyes when the lamp adjacent to the recliner was on. Poor thing, enough was enough. (Editor’s note: You didn’t go through all 11 movies? How can I trust you as an expert?) Halloween (2018): I think I had to stop after the first Rob Zombie movie because I was too hyped for this new one, oops. This had to be my favorite one thus far. Chase, his brother Jacob and I drove to the movies that same night to finally watch what we have all been waiting for. We buy the tickets along with a drink and popcorn. What’s a movie without the popcorn, I mean come on it makes the experience so much better. Anyways, we walk into theater five where we all roam aimlessly wondering if we’re in the right theater, I go back to double-check when Chase figures out someone is in our seat. So as Chase does best, he confronts this couple while Jacob casually sits next to them in his seat. At this point I just want to sit down and relax before the movie starts. Finally after some bickering,

they move and we sit down. Chase sighs as a sign of annoyance and relief. It’s showtime. The word “Halloween” pops up in orange and yellow on the big screen while I shove my face with popcorn. Without spoiling this movie, the only comment I would have to include is that this movie felt like someone had revised the original, corrected all the mistakes, then put in a lot more time and money to make a truly great horror film. It was awesome. All I will say is it made me jump and have a nightmare the following night, maybe because I get scared easily or whatever, but it’s definitely worth all of the hype. Go see it, you wont regret it. Emily's Ranking 1. Halloween (2018) 2. Halloween 2 3. Halloween (2007) 4. Halloween Chase's Ranking 1. Halloween (2018) 2. Halloween 2 3. Halloween 4.

Humble and hardworking: Meet Saluki swimmer Jimmy Dooley TAMAR MOSBY | @mosbytamar

Despite a tough start to the season for SIU Swimming and Diving, Saluki swimmer Jimmy Dooley has kicked off his season with success. An only child from Libertyville, Illinois, Dooley started competing in swimming during his freshman year of high school. Because his high school did not have a swim team, Dooley swam for a club team in his town. “I went to a high school that didn’t have a swim team, so I swam club all four years,” Dooley said. “This is the first time I’ve had an actual men’s team to swim with.” Dooley was first introduced to the

sport of swimming by a childhood friend and baseball teammate. “A friend I’ve known since fourth grade got me into it,” Dooley said. “He would always beat me, then I started to get better and beat him.” The now junior was interested in baseball during high school and only saw swimming as a way to stay in shape, until his success in the sport started to grow. Dooley went on to become his high school’s first ever athlete to qualify for the IHSA state swim meet. As a senior at Carmel Catholic High School, the Illinois native also competed in the NCSA Spring Junior National qualifier. Dooley’s father was also a swimmer in high school, but did

not compete collegiately. “My dad was the only athlete. He swam in high school,” Dooley said. “My mom didn’t play sports, but she was in the band.” Coming out of high school, the breaststroke swimmer chose SIU because of recruiters interest in him and his enjoyment of the campus. “[Head coach Rick Walker] was one of the only coaches who gave me an official visit,” Dooley said. “I liked the campus and looking back I’m glad that I made the decision to come here.” Head Coach Rick Walker said Dooley’s drive and hard work makes him a great athlete to work with. “One of the key things for him is that he is internally driven,” Walker

the 100 breast is 56.02 and my best in the 200 breast is a 2:03.1” Dooley started his junior season winning both of his races at McKendree University and being awarded with MAC Swimming and Diving Athlete of the Week for the first time in his collegiate career. At McKendree, the junior swam a 58.01 in the 100 meter breaststroke and a 2:07.35 in the 200 meter breaststroke. His current success has come as a surprise to him, but not to his coach and fellow teammates. “It was a surprise,” Dooley said. “I never really thought about winning the award. It made me happy that I won it out of everyone because there are a lot of good swimmers in the MAC.”

said. “What really sets him apart is the hunger he has inside of him that motivates him to work hard and compete.” This drive is projected through Dooley’s past and recent successes in swimming. During his freshman year as a Dawg, he was a part of the 800 yard freestyle relay that recorded the second fastest time in Saluki history. With his sophomore year came more improvement when he swam his way into the Saluki Top Five in three events. So far this year, the junior has been solely competing in the 100 and 200 meter breaststroke races. “I mainly do breaststroke now,” Dooley said. “My personal best in

Isabel Miller | @IsabelMillerDE Jimmy Dooley, a junior studying journalism, swims laps at practice, Tuesday, at the SIU Recreation Center.

Although his recent success has come as a surprise, Dooley said has worked hard to achieve these things. “I remember Rick telling me that you have to work twice as hard every year you return,” Dooley said. “This is my third year, so I am working six times harder than I was my freshman year.” While Dooley competes mainly in individual races, both his coach and teammates describe him as a selfless team player and a silent leader. Dooley’s roommate and

teammate, junior Kevin Kluge noted his competitive spirit and willingness to help and cheer on his teammates. “He is a very competitive person all around,” Kluge said. “He’s also a team player who’s always cheering us on. He’s the perfect athlete to have when it comes to teamwork, effort and spirit.” Kluge also said Dooley has been a great help to him throughout his time at Southern. “He helps me a lot,” Kluge said. “If one of us are ever struggling

with swimming, we talk about it and give each other advice. He’s a good person to fall back on." Walker described Dooley not only as a team player, but as an athlete that leads by example. “I would deem him more of a silent leader,” Walker said. “He puts the work in, people see how it’s paying off for him and become willing to put in that kind of work as well.” Despite his early success this season, the swimmer has his eyes set on even bigger goals later in

the year. “There is a winter national meet in November,” Dooley said. “I don’t have the times yet, but I am point two seconds away from getting in, so I would really like to make it there.” With the meet being at the end of November, the junior has about six weeks to qualify. Walker said Dooley’s confidence in himself plays a large part in his current success and that it will take him far, maybe even as far as the November nationals meet.

“He is successful because he believes he can be,” Walker said. “Every athlete that has gone on to do great things has this quality. I don’t see anything that can deter him from doing that.” You can catch Dooley and the rest of the Saluki swimmers at their next swim meet on Nov. 15 at the University of Missouri.
