veryone has dreams, and most everyone wonders what the strange stories their brains put together mean, but for Orenda Fink, dreams were much more than something she spent a few seconds per day thinking about. In fact, thinking critically about her dreams led almost entirely to the singer’s third solo album. After Fink lost her 16-year-old dog Wilson, she began to have a series of dreams revolving around death. She visited a dream analyst as a part of her grief therapy to help decipher what her dreams meant, and what she discovered eventually became her album “Blue Dream.” On Saturday, Fink will perform songs from this album at OPOLIS and hypnotize the audience into the dreamlike state that the singer-songwriter is known for creating. “Blue Dream” explores Fink’s healing process and understandings of life and death with her beautifully haunting voice and melancholic sounds in a way that feels like a dream, which is exactly what Fink said she hoped came across on the album. “When we would record, I would kind of walk around and be like ‘That doesn’t sound like a dream!’ and everyone would be like ‘What does a dream sound like?!’” Fink said. “Hopefully we figured it out.” While all of Fink’s albums are personal because she writes her songs, she said “Blue Dream” is a little different because of the music’s subject. “My other solos were personal, but they were more exploratory outward and this one was more exploratory inward,” she said. Fink and her team worked for almost a month around the clock to produce the emotional album. She said that the emotional ties she had to the songs put a lot of pressure on her to create the best album possible.

“I had a lot of pressure going into this album because the songs had a lot of weight to them, a lot of emotion,” Fink said. “I really wanted to honor them.” Fink has been performing music since graduating high school, and she said her favorite part of being a musician is the freedom the career provides for expression. “It’s very cathartic. It’s almost like therapy in and of itself,” Fink said.
She said she also enjoys the opportunities that music provides to work with friends. She began her music career as one-half of dream-pop duo Azure Ray, and she said that she continues to enjoy collaborating, though she sees benefits for both sides. “I like collaborating with people, but there’s something more focused about being solo, so I like to have a balance of it,” Fink said. Currently, Fink is on a nationwide tour to promote “Blue Dream.” The tour will span the country during September, October and November. Fink will also be a performer at the CMJ Music Marathon Festival in October, an annual music festival in New York for new music. Fink will be among the likes of Cold War Kids and Bombay Bicycle Club. Fink said her hopes for the remainder of her tour are simple. “I just hope that I can perform the record for the people that accurately represents the record and gives life to that period,” Fink said.

do be afraid of the dark
THE SHINING
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR
1980
1979
This adaptation of Stephen King’s 1977 novel captures the eerie deterioration of a family trapped in an old hotel — along with the spirits it has left behind. Once the snowstorm hits, things quickly fade from “subtle” oddities to creepy close encounters of the “shiny” kind. This horror film walks a fine line between sci-fi and an unsettling thriller, making it the perfect brain floss for a spooky night lit by the dim glow of your television.
With newer adaptations booming as recently as 2013, the original movie — hippie vibes and all — still takes the cake. Nothing quite captures fear like the brooding James Brolin and his crazed mountain man look or Margot Kidder’s quick, cruel character twist. This one is best enjoyed with a box of your favorite snacks. If you can eat it by the handfuls, it’s golden. This film will leave you munching into every last twist and turn of the plot, following a family through their desperate attempts to cleanse their new house of all evils.

t’s time to dim the lights, lock the doors and set the mood for Halloween. There’s nothing quite like a bowl of freshly popped caramel corn and your favorite bone-chilling films. With 3-D movies boasting their reachout-and-grab-you graphics, there are a few classics that will do just the same, sans the black-rimmed glasses.
HALLOWEEN
PSYCHO
1978
1960
This film isn’t just a seasonal classic, but proved to be an icon for horror long after the masked fiend, Michael Meyers, was laid to rest. The evolution of the slasher film quickly morphed into more “Scream”-like films, but “Halloween” set the precedent for an exceptionally persistent villain and a very angsty victim. If you find yourself shouting things like “NO, DON’T GO IN THERE,” then you’re enjoying the film to its fullest potential.
Of all the iconic Alfred Hitchcock films, “Psycho” is a staple that has trickled down from generation to generation, proving to be just as potent as the year it was released. Black, white and filled with dramatic gazes, this film took a new approach to illustrating violence and horror to an unsuspecting audience just inches from falling off of their movie seats. Not only was this a historical release for Hitcock’s film reputation, but it also was the debut of the first flushing toilet footage in a mainstream American film, boosting the creep factor to infinite levels.

all is in the air, and while the weather may be in denial, there’s no denying the pumpkin spice lattes and Halloween candy that have already made their debuts. When pumpkin flavored drinks aren’t enough to get you into the spirit of autumn, Norman has its own ways of celebrating, from the first day of October to the night of Halloween. Here are some things to look out for this month:
WATCH A CLASSIC

Whether this is a tradition you’re just now catching onto or a long time routine, fans new and old can enjoy an annual screening of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” hosted by the Sooner Theatre at 101 East Main St. Though Halloween still has a few corners to turn before it arrives, it’s wise to purchase tickets ahead for this popular Hallow’s Eve showing. Visit SoonerTheatre.com for ticket pricing. Oh, and don’t forget the toast. photo provided
PICK A PUMPKIN
From pumpkin spice to the jack-o-lanterns lighting the way for trick-or-treaters, this squash will never go out of fall style. If you’re looking for one of your own to carve, eat or admire, look no further than the McFarlin Pumpkin Patch at 419 S. University Blvd. Throughout the month of October, the patch will feature pumpkins of all sizes, ranging in price from a pocketful of change to a crisp, green Andrew Jackson.

DON’T WEAR ORANGE

Stay away from our rival’s color with some fashion tips
Kaitlyn Underwood | @kaitunderwood
T
he unbearable heat of summer has finally faded and has replaced by the cool kiss of fall’s beginning. I love fall. The changing leaves, sweater weather, abundance of hot caffeinated beverages and holiday feasts. All of it except for the fact that fall brings with it overwhelming displays of the worst color on the planet. Unfortunately, orange is inextricably linked with autumn. As a natural-born orange hater, I simply have to suck it up every year and wait until the seasons rich in Sooner crimson arrive. Think red blooms in May, the cherry of Santa’s suit or the shiny red of Valentine’s hearts. But from mid-September through November you can’t escape the color orange, and most of the time it’s the worst orange of all — burnt. Don’t let fashion experts fool you; just because it’s fall doesn’t mean you have to give in and incorporate the hideous hue into your cool weather wardrobe. Unless you’re an adorable toddler in a pumpkin costume, orange has no business being in your closet. Have no fear, fellow Sooners and loathers of orange, here are a few tips to make it through the season while avoiding all orange garments:
PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS BY TONY RAGLE
When you want to wear seasonal colors, stick to deep jewel tones and neutrals Colors like plum, hunter green, wheat-yellow, chocolate brown and charcoal grey all conjure the coziness of fall. You can populate your wardrobe with the colors of fall without bringing orange into the mix. But what about fall prints that incorporate stinky orange? Thankfully, many fall sweaters incorporate neutral patterns, like mixes of brown and cream, that you can pop with a bright collar or blouse.
Coats are the hallmark of fall and — unless you have very unusual style — not orange Invest in a classic beige trench coat or heavier wool pea coat in navy blue or black for fall. You’ll thank yourself as the weather gets colder, both because you’ll be nice and warm and chic in your orange-free outerwear.
Spice up fall outfits without the pumpkin — wear fun socks
Scarves add texture and warmth to fall outfits, just avoid the orange ones
Patterned camp socks peeking out above leather boots add a little personality to any autumn outfit and are a great way to add color without resorting to orange. Whether you go for tall riding boots or shorter booties, socks come in endless arrays of colors and patterns, so go a little crazy and stock up on the seasonal foot-warmers.
Scarves are a quick and practical way to transition outfits from season to season. Chunky knit scarves add serious warmth to your ensemble and look as good on men as they do on women. Choose a bright scarf as the centerpiece of an outfit or a more subdued one to add coziness without distracting from your getup.

Standing in the parking lot behind Copeland Hall, Cathy Walker saw something she still can’t explain.
Walker, a custodian, had finished work. Standing in Provine told this story to some friends he met while the parking lot about to leave, she looked back into studying abroad in England in 2005. The Daily’s newsroom through a window and saw “Everything’s haunted in England, and that was what appeared to be a little girl waving her arms in the the only story I knew,” he said. supposedly empty newsroom. Urged by his friends to find other eerie tales, Provine “The alarm [to the newsroom] was set. The doors researched OU’s history and found many more stories were locked. Nobody should’ve been in than he expected, enough to run a Ghost there,” Walker said. Tour in 2009, which proved successful Jeffrey Provine, OU ghost tour guide enough to become an annual event. and freshman programs instructor, says Provine said he encourages particistories like Walker’s are common.

Some of the stories if we acknowledge we bring up the topic, it gets people Provine hears turn into parts of his books, talking.” Provine said. “It’s really cool to them, let them which document some of OU’s haunted know they’re not see what people are willing to share.” history — and there are plenty of spooky The History Press eventually published forgotten, then a compilation of Provine’s stories last year stories. they’ll be fine.” in his book “Campus Ghosts of Norman, “It turns out there’s tons of these ghost Oklahoma.” A second book, “Haunted stories around OU,” Provine said.

Provine said that although the dumbwaiter is gone, itself … late at night, people hear something rolling down the hall, even though nobody’s there,” Provine workers still say they hear banging noises in Cate Center, “like people working on machinery.” said.
“
While there are many violent and macabre stories like this — the house on the cover of “Campus Ghosts” is the alleged site of another violent beheading — not all ghost stories are negative. Custodian Marie Mulholland has a different perspective on spirits. “They’re not bad,” Mulholland said. “They’re lonely ... If we acknowledge them, let them know they’re not forgotten, then they’ll be fine.” Mulholland, who has worked at OU for 20 years, said places where people died — like Dale Tower, which saw two people jump to their deaths in the 1970s — feel unmistakably strange. Leaving gifts for the spirits, such as food or drink, allows the spirits to feel at ease. Provine agrees that ghostly encounters don’t have to be negative. For instance, when a new exhibit was being erected in the Historic Jacobson House on Chautauqua Avenue, workers said they felt a gust of wind, the house shifting and a sense of contentment, Provine said. “Everyone decided that that was [former School of Art director Oscar] Jacobson expressing his approval,” Provine said. Jacobson may not be the only good-natured ghost on campus. Provine said that when a team of paranormal investigators looked a t W h i t e h a n d Ha l l , “they said they were the most polite ghosts they’d ever seen.”

Tony Ragle/The Daily By day, Ellison Hall sits happily across from Goddard Health Center but when night falls, the building reveals its chilling secrets. Reports of a rolling sound, perhaps of the boy who died in the building when it was still an infirmary after a fatal skating accident in 1928, are collected by custodians who patrol the halls at night.
Tony Ragle/The Daily After two people jumped from the top in the 1970’s, the looming Dale Tower had an eerie presence about it.

tenacious TCU What to expect from Saturday’s match in Texas brady vardeman | @brady vardeman
W
hen Texas Christian University faced Oklahoma a year ago, it was with a team decimated by injuries. Still, the Horned Frogs only lost by three points in Norman. This time around, TCU coach Gary Patterson fields not only a healthier, but older team. “Any time you have a more mature team, you have guys that practice better and play better,” he said. “We have an opportunity to play our best football yet here in the month of October.” The Horned Frogs return third-year quarterback Trevone Boykin. Against OU last season, he put up relatively unimpressive numbers with 166 yards passing. But Boykin has torn through opposing secondaries so far this season. The junior quarterback has over 800 yards through the air. “When [Boykin] came here, he was 16 years old,” Patterson said. “He’s maturing and growing older. I try not to put a lot of pressure on him. The biggest thing is to run the offense and don’t turn the ball over.” A large factor in Boykin’s improved performance this season is
illustration by danielle wierenga
the presence of junior wide receiver Deante’ Gray. Last season, Gray faced Boykin in practice from the cornerback position. This year, he leads the team with 13 receptions. Patterson said he expects Gray to continue to improve as he continues to learn the offense. “He’s a very fast player,” Patterson said. “The sky’s the WATCH THE limit for him and he’s just going to GAME keep getting better.” On the other side When: 2:30 p.m. of the ball, TCU’s Saturday defense gave the Sooners problems Where: Broadcast in 2013. The squad on FOX held Blake Bell to 152 passing yards on 20 completions. “They’re very sound in the way they defend you,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. “The secondary always crowds receivers.” Stoops compared TCU’s offense to the air raids of Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. The Horned Frogs are a threat to run the ball as well. With a scrambling quarterback and tailback B.J. Catalon, the Horned Frogs have combined for 355 yards on the ground and six scores. The Fort Worth, Texas program has been known to play Oklahoma close in recent years. Patterson’s squad upset OU in 2005 to hand Stoops just his third home loss. Since joining the Big 12, TCU has lost to OU by a combined 10 points the last two years. Patterson acknowledged the special challenge in facing a top-five program like OU but said he gives his team a good chance. His optimism partly stems from the fact that TCU has already had two bye weeks this season. “We aren’t mentally tired right now,” he said. “Watching our kids yesterday, I think they have a lot of pep in their step. They’re really paying attention to what we are trying to tell them. “We’re looking forward to Saturday.”

The evolution of the Sooner football uniform dillon hollingsworth | @DillonJames94
L
ooking for a sports-inspired costume idea? Draw some inspiration from these classic Sooner uniforms going all the way back to 1956.
1956
Carl Dodd and Bob Tiberlake show off their classic crimson home uniforms in an ad that ran in The Daily on Oct. 6, 1956. The team, coached by Bud Wilkinson, was in the midst of its record setting 47-game winning streak when this ad ran. The only things missing from these pictures are their iconic white helmets.

1966
1974
Tailback James Ray Jackson picks up a couple of yards in a picture that ran in The Daily on Nov. 1, 1966. Jackson showcases the interlocking OU that appeared on the Sooners’ helmets for the first time in 1966. The logo has undergone subtle changes but it is still worn on the OU helmets today.
Nose guard Dewey Selmon picks up one of the 27 tackles he gathered against Texas in a picture that ran in The Daily on Oct. 15, 1974. The uniforms did not change much in the eight years since 1966, but the interlocking OU logo on the helmet got a little more rigid as opposed to the rounded letters originally featured.
15 1985
1995
2003
Running back Anthony Stafford pulls away from a Colorado defender in a picture that ran in The Daily on Nov. 18, 1985. The Sooners stuck with their classic look as coach Barry Switzer led them to their first national title since Wilkinson left.
Running back Jerald Moore runs for a touchdown against Kansas in a picture that ran in The Daily on Oct. 23, 1995. Some stripes were added to the sleeves, but the uniform is largely unchanged from the ones seen ten years before.
Quarterback Jason White makes a play with his legs in a picture that ran in The Daily on Sept. 2, 2003. White shows off the Sooners’ first alternate uniforms of the 21st century. The uniforms are an homage to the great teams of the Wilkinsonera, featuring the white helmets OU hadn’t worn since 1965. OU wore the uniforms once, in a game it won handily against North Texas.
2008
2013
2014
Quarterback Sam Bradford looks for the open receiver in a picture that ran in The Daily during finals week in 2008. Bradford won the Heisman Trophy and led the Sooners to a national championship appearance that season. Here he shows off the white jersey that has defined OU away games for more than 40 years.
Running back Damien Williams fights for extra yardage in a picture taken by The Daily on Oct. 12, 2013. The difference is subtle, but OU added gold logos and gold trim to the lettering on their uniforms for the game against Texas last season. Texas did the same to theirs, and the heavily favored Sooners lost the matchup 36-20. The uniform changes were made specifically for the game, and they haven’t been used since.
Linebacker Eric Striker, quarterback Trevor Knight, wide receiver Sterling Shepard and linebacker Geneo Grissom model the alternate uniforms OU unveiled for the 2014 season. Once again, the uniforms pay homage to the Wilkinson-era teams. The helmets also have a finish that looks like wood grain to go with the uniform theme, “Bring the Wood.” OU broke out the away version of the alternates for their game against West Virginia, a contest the Sooners won 45-33.
