JERUSALEM— Clashes erupted Sunday between Palestinian youths and Israeli forces at the West Bank funeral of a teenage boy killed by Israeli troops, as an Ecuadorean tourist died of wounds suffered in an attack last week by a Palestinian man who drove his car into a crowded Jerusalem train station.
National NEW YORK— The gulf between politicians and scientists over Ebola widened on Sunday as the nation’s top infectious-disease expert warned that the mandatory, 21day quarantining of medical workers returning from West Africa is unnecessary and could discourage volunteers from traveling to the danger zone. HAWAII— Dozens of residents in a rural area of Hawaii have been placed on alert as flowing lava from an erupting volcano advances 250 yards on Sunday authorities said.
Texas BORGER — A Texas Panhandle apartment building that was heavily damaged by a deadly explosion this weekend had problems for months with gas odors at the structure, according to residents. Saturday’s explosion at the six-unit apartment complex in Borger killed one person. Several others suffered minor injuries. A cause of the explosion was still being determined by investigators.

Dedman Law students put on their hard hats and fastened their tool belts for a Dallas area Habitat for Humanity build Saturday morning. The build took place in the Cedar Crest neighborhood of Dallas and was led by experienced Habitat volunteers. Dedman Law students also joined in on their day off, as well as attorneys from Dallas-area firms. Ashley Deweese, a third-year Dedman Law student, who is no stranger to volunteering, said she had never participated in a Habitat build before. “It’s a lot harder than I thought,” she said, acknowledging that the end result would be quite rewarding. The Dedman School of Law Student Bar Association, Dedman School of Law Real Estate Law Association and The Dallas Bar Association sponsored the event, with over two-dozen volunteers in attendance. Homeowners of Habitat homes, who are also on site due to requirements of the Habitat program, were grateful to all the volunteers, especially the law students. “I feel like my house is going to be high-class because of all the soon-to-be lawyers working on it, ” said Gabrielle Davidson, the homeowner of the build. “It’s truly a blessing.”

TFA influences inside and outside the classroom MONICA Rodriguez Contributing Writer monicar@smu.edu Teach for America has been operating nationally for almost 25 years; the program was created by Princeton University graduate Wendy Kopp. Raised in Highland Park, Kopp knows the value of education. As of this fall, the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development has been named the official alternative certification partner for the Teach for America
DFW region. TFA’s DFW region was established five years ago, but as of last year, the Simmons School is where students in this region acquire their teaching certificate. Students are able to obtain a teaching certificate through 18-hours of coursework at the Simmons School. “One of our missions here at Simmons is to prepare students well for the DFW classrooms and this is why we offer our full support to TFA members,” Simmons’ Dean David Chard said. Chard also explains that SMU offers a discounted tuition rate for
TFA members and alumni who are interested in pursuing a Master’s Degree in teaching, counseling or educational leadership. Tuition for TFA members or alumni who are enrolled in an Educational Master’s program at Simmons is about onethird of the regular tuition to attend. According to Ryan Buchanan, TFA’s recruiter based out of DFW, SMU’s mission statement seems to be exactly what SMU graduates are doing in their classrooms. “This is the second year in a row that SMU has appeared on TFA's top contributors list which means that more and more quality
SMU grads are choosing to make a difference in education post-grad,” Buchanan said. “Additionally, SMU grads are making a strong impact in the classroom.” TFA recruits members from all different majors including business, engineering, sociology and communications. According to Buchanan, TFA needs leaders who want to make an impact in their community by leading in the underrepresented classroom. The program currently has members in 35 states and 50 regions across the country. As a TFA member, one can
enroll in AmeriCorp, a national service program that gives qualified members a $5,500 grant per year, which may be used to pay off qualified state and federal loans. Members also qualify for some state and federal loan interest forgiveness and/or forbearance. Recent SMU graduate and first-year TFA member Anthony McAuliffe is teaching middle school Spanish in Charlotte, NC. “I’ve truly become a huge fan of TFA. Teaching hasn’t been easy, but TFA does a great job at preparing us to be excellent teachers,” McAuliffe said.

Students impress at Family Weekend Talent Show savannah louie Contributing Writer slouie@smu.edu It’s no mystery that the students of SMU are a talented bunch – especially after the university’s annual talent show Friday night. The 39th annual talent show featured five individual and five group acts in McFarlin Auditorium.

with her co-host, referring to some acts as “surprises.” A panel of four judges
determined the first place winners and runner-ups for individual and group acts. Additionally,
audience members determined the winner of the popular vote by voting for their favorite act via text message. Cash prizes were awarded to each of the winners. Queen Irene danced her way to the individual first-place title in a Beyonce inspired drag performance, while Stampede, the newest acapella group on campus, performed their rendition of Say Something to secure the group first-place title and the audience choice popular vote.

Consistent sleep patterns Health Center offers resources can improve students’ health for top college health issues benjamin chi bchi@smu.edu Health and Fitness Editor Sleeping poorly each day builds something called “sleep debt”. If left unchecked, this sleep debt can manifest itself as health problems such as weight gain, increased risk of diseases such as diabetes, mental and physical fatigue and increased risk of heart disease. Sleep deprivation in college has been linked with a lower GPAs. A study by Campus Mind Works found that 73 percent of college students reported sleep problems and 18 percent of college men and 30 percent of college women had insomnia in the past three months. A good sleep resets bodily functions and restores energy needed to power through a busy college day. Sleep also boosts brain function by reaffirming memory and solidifying pathways created throughout the day. According to a study by the University of Georgia, college students get, on average, 6 to 7 hours of sleep per day. However, many sources recommend
anywhere from 7 to 9 hours per day. There are many ways to try and increase the amount of sleep you get other than lightening up your schedule. Some signs of sleeping difficulties are light, fragmented sleep, waking up in the middle of the night, difficulty falling back asleep after waking up in the night and sleepiness throughout the day even after a full night of sleep. The key to sleeping well is consistency. A consistent bed time and time to wake up will lead to regular sleep patterns and a more fulfilling sleep. Consistency is not limited to just sleeping; eating three meals a day at the right time will help fix your body’s natural cycle. A few things to avoid before sleeping are alcohol consumption, heavy meals, caffeine and nicotine. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants that prevent natural sleep. Although many people believe that alcohol helps people fall asleep, sleep induced by alcohol consumption is often unfulfilling and is much lighter than normal sleep. Although around 40 percent of college students nap regularly,

studies have shown that napping leads to staying up late. Irregular periods of sleep with long and short napping periods leads to difficulty sleeping when you actually need it. Another huge problem that many college students face is using the bed for things other than sleep or sex. Although it is mental, associating your bed with only these two activities makes it easier to fall asleep at night. Constantly working or watching Netflix in your bed makes it harder to fall asleep quicker. Exercise also promotes healthy and regular sleeping patterns. However, it is recommended to work out at least four hours before trying to sleep, otherwise it may have a negative rather than positive effect on falling asleep. Increasing light exposure throughout the day also helps regulate the body’s natural circadian rhythm. On the other hand, decreasing exposure to artificial lights at night helps boost melatonin, a horomone that helps people fall asleep. College students are asked to do a lot, so it’s easy to understand why so few students consistently get a good night’s rest. However, investing in good sleeping habits

The top 5 college health issues are poor nutrition, alcohol abuse, STDs, drug abuse, and stress.
benjamin chi bchi@smu.edu Health and Fitness Editor College health is a huge field in medicine. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there are currently 13 million students in the United States alone enrolled in higher education. The Journal of the American Medical Association estimates that there are 27.3 college health staff for every 10,000 students enrolled in higher education. The college health staff includes physicians, nurses, assistants, psychologists, health trainers, dietitians and pharmacists. The majority of college campuses have some sort of college health center in order to monitor and improve the quality of living of college students. Throughout the US there are many recurring college health problems plaguing campuses. The most prevalent are poor nutrition and exercise, alcohol and alcohol injuries, STDs, drug abuse (especially prescription drugs) and stress. The SMU Health Center is an extremely comprehensive clinic that covers, or at least touches, on these critical health problems. SMU has a registered dietician
on campus, Lauren Hickman. Students with problems finding healthy dining options, wanting to manage their weight, or need help due to a disease, illness, or preference that affects their diet should go to her for help. On the other side, SMU also has personal trainers and packages that include a fitness orientation and fitness evaluation available at the Dedman Recreation Center. SMU fitness “offers quality fitness equipment, a positive atmosphere, and exciting classes.” Alcohol and alcohol related injuries are a huge problem on college campuses nationwide. The National Institute for Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism states that 1,825 college students die every year from alcohol related unintentional injuries and that nearly 700,000 students are assaulted by another student under the influence of alcohol. In addition, nearly 600,000 students receive unintentional injuries while intoxicated. The SMU Health Center provides information on safe and healthy alcohol consumption. They meet and assess students looking for help regarding alcohol and alcohol abuse, and also offer some short-term counseling for students. They also seek to educate students on the dangers
of underage drinking, binge drinking and alcohol abuse. Sexually transmitted infections can be incredibly intimidating. SMU has resources to help identify STI’s. The SMU Health Center conducts tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B and C, herpes, HIV/AIDS, HPV and syphilis. SMU’s Center for Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention offers sober living options as well as an online recovery program to help students overcome drug abuse. They also have a SMU specific recovery support meeting on Tuesdays. Located on the second floor of the Memorial Health Center, the Center for Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention offers assessments, interventions, referrals and short-term counseling. Stress is a part of every college students’ lives. SMU has a Counseling and Psychiatric Service that covers not only stress but also a wide range of mental health issues. They have counseling services and online screenings to help evaluate how your college life has been. They cover issues that range from stress to gender issues. They offer on call hours during normal working hours and a clinician after hours for pressing mental health issues.

SMU students predict Texas Governors race matt sanders Contributing Writer masanders@smu.edu Members of the SMU community gathered in the Greer Garson Theatre Thursday night to watch a Texas Governor’s Debate, sponsored by the Communication Studies department. Students representing Republican candidate Greg Abbott and Democratic candidate Wendy Davis discussed what each candidate could bring to the table, as well as have a chance to crossexamine the other debater and give a final rebuttal. Although the debate was about the Texas Governor race, neither of the participants was from Texas. Sophomore Hallie Hovey-Murray, a political science major from Virginia, represented Greg Abbott. Junior Mattie Lippe, a journalism, communications, and anthropology triple major from Oklahoma, represented Wendy Davis. Ben Voth, director of debate, moderated the event. Lippe pointed out Texas’ potential to improve education and environment under Davis and Abbott’s disrespect for women, saying that Abbott has called Davis a “retard Barbie” in the past. Hovey-Murray, however, used a different method, discussing the more personal side of Abbott. She pointed out that his campaign ads show the good things he has done instead of
attacking his opponent, like Davis does in her ads. “Greg Abbott is so personal that his mother-in-law would vote for him,” Hovey-Murray said during her argument. SMU is known for being a conservative school, so the debate was a good opportunity for students to see both parties. “Some people here like to stick to their own side, so it is really important to hear both sides of the issues before voting,” Lippe said in a postdebate interview. Audience members were allowed to give their own comments and cast their ballots after the debate. Greg Abbott won in a landslide, winning 86 percent of votes. Both participants believed the debate was a learning opportunity that reached far beyond politics. “You might not agree with the other side, but a holistic understanding is so important,” Lippe said. She suggests that understanding both sides is important in a debate. “If you’re arguing with someone, you can kind of see what they’re thinking,” HoveyMurray added To get more involved visit the Meadows Mock Trial and Debate website.

Don’t be too scared of Ebola University Park homeowner decorates front yard with an Ebola theme for Halloween This past week a University Park homeowner decorated his house for Halloween, and people are upset. Why? Because James Faulk used Ebola as a joke. Now, I get it. Ebola is horrible. Hundreds die every day in Africa of the horrible disease; it’s an epidemic. We should help somehow by sending resources or educating them on how to quarantine something so contagious and deathly. But in America, there have been 4 cases, not including Eric Duncan, and the survival rate here is pretty good. Halloween is a time to dress up and be something you’re not. It’s a time to have fun.

The SMU Men’s Basketball team start the 2014-2015 season on Nov. 14 playing in Moody Coliseum.
Do you believe in Moody Magic? As the weather transitions to fall, the sport season transitions from football to basketball. And it’s been highly anticipated by the SMU community. The SMU Men’s Basketball team is currently ranked No. 22 for preseason. The team will be lead by Head Coach Larry Brown. This will be his third season working with them. Last season proved to be the dawn of a new era for the Mustangs. The Mustangs were ranked in the top 25, the first time since the 1984-85 season. The team went 27-10 and made it to the 2014 NIT championship game. They also received third place in the American Athletic Conference. This riled up the student body. Students started to pack the stadium to watch the games. The crowd cheered furiously. People began lining up the night before to get tickets to see the team play. As the Mustangs began to win and win, the passion and support for the Mustangs from the student body grew. It became the first sport in a long time in which students had an unwavering emotional connection to a school sport. It was ride or die. I clearly remember watching the NIT finals last year with a

group of friends. After the unfortunate loss, I remember feeling heartbroken. It was a bit surprising to me to feel this way. I’m not that knowledgeable in sports. The only reason I understand basketball is because my brother has been playing the sport since he was a little kid. Since then I had watched an uncountable number of games. Yet, I empathized for the team. I was so proud of their progress and was rooting for them to win. I wanted my team to win; moreover, I wanted “my boys” to win. A connection had been formed and I hadn’t even realized it until that moment. Not only by me, but by a vast majority of the student body. When we lost, I took my eyes off the TV and looked around the room. My friends were sullen. A few even cried. I was wondering how did we grow have this much love and support for a team. Where does it stem from?
Was it because we finally started winning? Is it because we finally had a sport to proudly affiliate our school with? It may be both. It may be neither. I came to the conclusion that the reason why we had grown so fondly of our Men’s Basketball team was because of Moody Magic. Every time the student body would gather in Moody Coliseum, great things happened. Our players played amazing. They couldn’t fail us. The atmosphere of watching your team play at home and win ignited a fire in us all. Moody Magic sparked a connection between us and the team. They were undefeated at home. They never ceased to amaze us when they played. We had affection for our team and head coach. We are proud to say we are Mustangs, and this season, the magic has only grown stronger. Come Nov. 14, magic will be back. We’re ready to see our Mustangs play, and win, against Lamar for our first game of the season. So get ready and Pony up, y’all.

Is it unfortunate that he did this so soon after the outbreaks here? Yes, but he can’t control the date of Halloween. People have called Faulk a “dumbass” and “insensitive” for decorating his home with the decorations he bought at an auction. In America, we have freedom of speech and expression, but that does not exclude you from the consequences of your actions. He did not personally attack Duncan or Nina Pham. He did not make fun of any doctors who have sacrificed their health to go help over in the Ebola-stricken countries. He just decorated his house with decorations that were related to the disease. Personally, I think it’s funny, but I like to laugh off hardships rather than linger on them for a while. It may be a little insensitive, but if we can’t laugh every now and then, our world would be too serious of a place.
The University Park home used toxic waste bins, traffic cones and barricade tape to create the Ebola halloween theme.

Kylie Jenner exceeds older sisters Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner in poll ‘Most Influential Kardashian.’
Kylie Jenner gains multiple titles being ‘one of the most influential teens,’ hope for humanity declines I can’t seem to escape from seeing Kylie Jenner anywhere on social media for the past few weeks. The youngest Kardashian has been a trending topic recently for her superlatives in magazines. Jenner has been named in Time Magazine’s “25 Most Influential Teens in 2014” and Polyvore’s “Most Influential Kardashian.” I don’t have that much of a problem with her being the most influential member of her family. Based off her social media accounts, I could see this coming. Jenner has climbed up the ladder. She currently has 12 million followers on Instagram and seven million on Twitter. Along with that, it’s safe to assume that she probably has a million followers on her Tumblr as well. Polyvore published a graph showing all internet searches of each member of the Kardashian family. Uber popular sisters Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner had their share of fame (Kim’s search peak was during her wedding, Kendall’s was during New York Fashion Week), but Kylie has been a strong rising trend search that is now at its pinnacle. Her success as a teenage reality star and famous sister of Kim Kardashian is somewhat commendable. If I were a 17 yearold that wasn’t in high school, I

would love to live a life of buying whatever high-end urban clothing I wanted while jet setting around the U.S. However, the issue that I have with Jenner being named one of the “25 Most Influential Teens of 2014” is that her accomplishments in fashion and social media do not equate to the accomplishments of other teens on that list. Take Malala Yousafzai. She is a Nobel Peace Prize recipient. She has written a biography of her life living in Pakistan and being shot in the head by the Taliban. She is a Pakistani activist who has started her own nonprofit, the Malala Fund, to promote and fund education for young women. I think it’s safe to say she has Jenner beat by a smidge. Another is Joshua Wong. According to Time Magazine, this young man has become the face of the Hong Kong protests. He’s a symbol of hope, finding peers and other supporters to fight for this cause in hopes to fight for Hong Kong’s democracy. He has been called an extremist in mainland China and has been faced with

adversity, yet he still fights. I know these young adults I exemplified are exceptions. They are people who have experience unfathomable things in their countries and have used this to fuel their passion for change and their dreams. Jenner cannot help that she lived in a fortunate country with an even more fortunate family and upbringing. But what I am saying is that although Jenner is a significant influence amongst teenagers, I do not believe that she and her sister should be listed with other individuals like Yousafzai and Wong. It’s somewhat disrespectful. Here, a Nobel Prize Winner and a young activist that has been called a pariah in mainland China is on the same level of influence as a pretty, fashionable celebrity. I think her title of being the “Most Influential Kardashian” is true. I also do believe she is influential to teens on social media like Instagram. But to be claimed one of the “25 Most Influential Teens of 2014?” Especially when there are other teenagers facilitating cancer research, expediting technological advances and advocating and fundraising for their own nonprofits? I don’t think it’s right at all.

Mustangs mauled by Tigers in Ford Stadium on Family Weekend Patrick Engel Sports Writer pengel@smu.edu SMU football hoped to put up its best performance for Family Weekend, but the Mustangs were mauled 48-10 by the Memphis Tigers. The Mustangs (0-7, 0-3 American Athletic Conference) scored a touchdown at home for the first time all season, but it wasn’t nearly enough to beat the Tigers (4-3, 2-1 AAC). The Mustangs defense had a promising start. On their first defensive series, they stuffed Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch on fourth and one near midfield. Linebacker Robert Seals sacked Lynch on the next drive, forcing a fumble. But SMU’s offense was unable to capitalize on the early chances, and the defense crumbled after the first two drives. The Mustangs gave up 582 yards and 29 first downs. The Tigers ran the ball 53 times for 230 yards. Four of their six touchdowns came on the ground. Lynch threw for 307 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 13.3 yards per pass. Jason Stewart replaced him in mop-up duty. The two Memphis quarterbacks combined for only seven incompletions.

UCONN imporves to 7-6-2 while SMU falls to 8-5-2 overall.
“[Big plays] were a big-time problem,” SMU Interim Head Coach Tom Mason said. “I was really disappointed in how that happened. They got behind us twice and made big plays, and that was the deciding factor in the game, I thought.” Garrett Krstich led the
Mustangs’ lone touchdown drive, which ended with Prescott Line galloping into the end zone from a yard out. But Krstich air mailed two interceptions and made several throws that bounced in front of his target. He completed 10 of 22 passes before being replaced by Matt Davis early in the third quarter.
Davis later led SMU on an 11play, 43-yard drive that resulted in a 40-yard field goal by Cody Rademacher. He also rushed seven times for 46 yards. “We’re still evaluating [the quarterback] situation,” Mason said. “Obviously ‘Stich wasn’t having a great day out there, so we wanted to take a look at

Courtney Madden Sports Editor courtneym@smu.edu The Mustangs traveled to Storrs, Conn. to take on Connecticut for a 3-1 win Sunday. The Mustangs won three straight sets going 25-27, 25-14, 25-21, 25-16. The win improved SMU to 17-5 overall and 6-4 in American Athletic Conference play while the Huskies fell to 9-12 overall and 2-8 in conference play. Sophomore Morgan Heise shined, posting 36 digs which puts her fourth all-time in a match at SMU.

Matt and see what he could do. I thought Matt did some good things with his legs. He threw a couple good passes but he was three of nine of the day, and 33 percent is not going to get it done at quarterback. We’re struggling at that position.” Mason said that if he decides to go with Davis, he would put
in a package of plays that suit his dual-threat skills. The Mustangs have a bye this weekend, so Mason would have time to get Davis comfortable. “I think I need to keep progressing,” Davis said. “Just making all my reads and all my throws…I just need to get better overall. The coaches are going to make the decisions they are going to make for what they feel is best for the team, and we’re going to go with it.” Kolney Cassel played a drive at the end of the game, but did not move the ball. The three SMU quarterbacks completed just 13 of their 33 pass attempts for just 114 yards. Mason was pleased with Kevin Pope’s effort in his second start of the season as linebacker. Pope returned to defense after playing running back in the first half of the season. “That’s the kind of kid you want to coach every week,” Mason said. “He had 12 tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss…You gotta love that kid. We wouldn’t be sitting here talking about problems if I had 20 kids like Kevin Pope.” Mason said Pope was also lobbying to play on offense when Line was knicked up. The Mustangs play next on the road in Tulsa Nov. 8.
In the second set, Bybel scored four aces in a row to give the Mustangs a 24-13 lead. The Mustangs were up 1210 when they stretched the lead even more to 16-11 after points on two kills, a block and an error by the Huskies. It was Kristen Stehling who scored the final kill to give the Mustangs a 25-14 victory. SMU came out strong in the third set taking a five-point,10-5, lead early. Later on the Huskies came back pushing the score close, but it was kills from Janelle Giordano and first year Lauren Mills that ended the set in

Halloween
MC Mattioli strikes again Explore the latest haunts Zoe Mattioli Contributing Writer zmattioli@smu.edu Hey there Mustangs, MC Mattioli here with another compilation of rising tunes handpicked just for you. Now, despite the proximity of Halloween creeping just around the corner, don’t expect to find any songs on here reminiscent of the theme. However, if you’re looking for tracks to get your blood pressure rising while getting into costume this weekend, or ones to help keep you sane the morning after, I got you covered. If you missed my first edition of “new songs you need to hear,” catch it here. https://soundcloud. com/zoecazal/sets/new10songs 1. NASA STS-135: Countdown to Launch Last week, NASA debuted their very own Soundcloud page full of some of the most iconic soundbites in American history. With playlists categorized by event, you can hear clips ranging everywhere from “Lightning on Jupiter” to the original “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” Absolutely astonishing. 2. The Weeknd - Often (Lido Remix) Norwegian name-you-need-toknow, Lido is back with another remix to blow everyone else out of the water. Easily the best thing I’ve heard this month, Lido puts his one of a kind touch on The Weeknd’s latest release. This is to be listened to loud, and I mean very loud. 3. Gorgon City - Imagination feat. Katy Menditta British duo Gorgon City actually pitstopped at Dallas’s iconic disco club, It’ll Do, last week as part of their tour promoting their new album, Sirens, which this track comes from. If you’re into that UK jungle house garage sound, you’re going to love this. Shoutout to my boys for putting this one on my radar.
4. Lion Babe - Jump High feat. Childish Gambino Lion Babe, a duo from NYC, is a name I’ve only recently heard of and yet they’ve already made a track with a figure as big as Donald Glover? Proof that these guys are on the fast track to the top 10. Love the soul vibes on this one. Also worth noting, the apple of my eye, SNAKEHIPS released a grade A remix of their single “Treat Me Like Fire,” which is definitely worth a listen here. 5. Gregory Porter - Liquid Spirit (20syl Remix) Speaking of soul, French producer 20syl released this incredible remix of Grammy award winning jazz artist, Gregory Porter, his month. You might remember 20syl from the last mixtape, in which case you might also remember that this producer knows no limits to what he can do. I love the diversity he brings to the table, and this one is jam packed with funk. 6. Big Data - Dangerous (Oliver Remix) This right here is the token banger of this month’s playlist, from who else but DJ duo Oliver. Its got hints of Justice in there but still characteristic of Oliver’s heavy while still ethereal style. 7. BANKS - Drowning (Stwo Remix) Alright so now we’re going to take this down a notch for a little bit, beginning with this chill, trap-y remix of brunette bombshell, BANKS’s “Drowning” from one of my favorite players in the game right now, Stwo. This is making waves all over the internet, and just from the first listen, also sounds like something that would make waves in the bedroom. Just sayin’. 8. Mansionair - Hold Me Down (L C A W Remix) Another late night track (I’m talking like, 3 or 4 a.m.) from German producer, L C A W. I discovered this remix on the indie house YouTube Channel, La Belle Musique, similar to TheSoundYouNeed
and Soundisstyle. If you haven’t tapped into these music goldmines, then I would highly recommend it to occupy your time until my next playlist. 9. Melodiesinfonies Wanderlust Not necessarily new, this track from Swiss producer, Melodiesinfonies has some old school sounds spun together with Soulection style beats and hints of that crisp vinyl scratch. His Soundcloud page is the perfect one to get lost in for easy, atmospheric yet insightful listening (see: this Sunday after all the festivities have ended and you’re laying in bed trying to come back down to Earth) 10. Leon Bridges Coming Home I saved the best for last, once again. “Coming Home,” from Fort Worth artist Leon Bridges is first of all, a standout track from the rest of this list, but a standout also among all the music on the radio today. Bridge has a modern vintage sound that is so real, so authentic and so addicting, and it makes you feel so warm after listening to it. Hes only got two tracks on his SC for the time being but trust me, you’ll be playing them on repeat. Keep your eye on this local talent. 11. NASA - Apollo 11: That’s One Small Step For (a) Man Had to. BONUS TRACK: Flume That Look This is a bit unethical as a music journalist to do as this track was a) leaked and b) reportedly unfinished but it’s just so good and I care about you music fans so much that I had to share it. Leaked from Flume’s upcoming album, this song will give you goosebumps from head to toe on your first listen, and will also (on the downside) make you irrationally impatient for more of Flume’s upcoming work. Unfortunately, it will probably be a bit of a wait. Until then, dive into this via The Indie Shuffle before it gets taken down again.
Hanan Esaili Online Editor hesaili@smu.edu It’s Halloween season and Dallas is the perfect place to go for all things fall and Halloween. The Daily Campus spread out around the Metroplex to find the best places for fall fun and the best places to get scared. Screams Theme Park: 45 minutes south of Dallas, Screams is a scary Halloween wonderland. Those looking to get a lot of scare for a little bit of cash, Screams is the place for you. For one price, those looking to be scared get access to five haunted houses ranging from a hotel of horror to 3-D house of pirate horror. If you get too scared, Screams has “Scary-Oke” and plenty of drinks and food to calm your nerves. Reindeer Manor Park: Also settled in a small town 45 minutes south, Reindeer Manor offers 3 houses for the price of one. It’s one of the most haunted places in Texas and has a horrible history. Multiple gruesome murders happened in the past and the spirits are said to still haunt the houses
and the grounds. Visitors should be aware of the spirits that haunt the grounds and the actors that are allowed to pick you up and involve you in the show at any time. If you’re looking for an interactive scaring experience, Reindeer Manor is the place for you. Cutting Edge Haunted House: On the other edge of the Metroplex, Cutting Edge promises to make you pee your pants during their hour-long, sometimes hour and a half, haunted house. Set in a 100-year-old meat-packing factory, the house awakens your nightmares and ends with a foam room that is almost suffocating. The price is pretty good for the amount of time and scare you get, but sometimes the line wait is crazy. Plan ahead. Thrillvania Haunted House: Another haunted manor turned haunted house has an interesting past and is an amazing scare. Verdun Manor is said to once been the home of a werewolf, Baron Michael Verdun, and his vampire wife, Lady Cassandra. The Baron conducted twisted experiments on those who trespassed, and his spirit is said to come out during the full moon. The 50 acre piece of land
holds the haunted manor and an actual plantation cemetery, lacking in scary, the history is interesting and exciting. The Munster Mansion Home: If you’re looking for funny and not that scary, check out the Munster Mansion in Waxahachie, Texas. An exact replica of the beloved show’s home boasts a children’s costume contest, replicas of the famous car and a special visit from Pat Priest, the actress who played Marilyn Munster. There is also a midway for games, food and a bounce house. This year they’re celebrating 50 years of Munster TV. It’s fun for the entire family. Hall’s Pumpkin Farm: Dating back to 1929, the Jess Hall family started a life on a piece of land in Grapevine, Texas. Now, decedents of the Jess Hall family still own the land and have turned it into a children’s paradise. A twoacre corn maze, hayrides, a huge pumpkin patch and “the best BBQ in town” scatters the 45-acre plus piece of land. It is one of the last working farms in the area, and the family welcomes you to the rural landscape and the cows that graze the field.
