House bill would cut college expenses
UT Senate urges removal of some certain professors By Neelam Bohra @neelambohratx
House Democrats present bill that would offer free community college, more Pell Grant funding.
By Victoria May @toricmay
.S. House Democrats proposed a bill offering free community college and greater funding for Pell Grants last week. If passed, the College Affordability Act would update the Higher Education Act of 1965 to allow states to offer tuition-free community college, which is not currently offered under the act. The $94 billion program would increase funding for financial aid, debt repayment and free community college. “(This bill) is very, very important,” Nancy Pelosi, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker, said in a press release. “Not only … to address the aspirations of our young people but also for the success of our country, our competitiveness globally, but also building the infrastructure of America with our own well-trained workforce.” The bill focused on increasing federal funding
for the Pell Grant, which is federal aid designed to help low-income families pay for college, and would also simplify the application process for student loans and debt repayment. Bobby Scott, D-VA, chairman of the Committee on Education and Labor, said the proposal cuts the cost of college for students and families and provides relief for existing borrowers. He said it will also hold schools accountable and expand access to more flexible college options. “The College Affordability Act is a proposal that Members across the political spectrum should be able to support,” Scott said in a press release. “It is a necessary and sensible response to the challenges that students and families are facing every day.” Republican U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina and Rep. Lloyd Smucker of Pennsylvania said in a joint statement the bill did not address the underlying issue of “exploding college costs.” They said they wanted a

bipartisan bill that provides students with the tools they need for success in the workforce. “By increasing burdensome requirements and bureaucratic red tape, the Democrats’ bill will contribute to rising college costs,” Foxx and Smucker said in the statement. “It is past time Congress acknowledges the status quo is failing.
Doubling down on failed policies will not help students pursue the American Dream.” Pelosi said the bill would increase the quality of education by cracking down on colleges that have “defrauded” students. She also said the bill would focus on funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Serving Institutions.

“Every time we meet with students and families, we hear the same thing: college affordability in America is just inaccessible to them,” Pelosi said in a press release. “We must put an end to years of Republican inaction because we can no longer afford to do nothing when 44 million Americans are
The Senate of College Councils unanimously passed a resolution supporting the removal of professors found guilty of Title IX violations at its meeting Thursday. The resolution also supports removing associate English professor Coleman Hutchison and Sahotra Sarkar, an integrative biology and philosophy professor, from the spring course schedule. As previously reported by The Daily Texan, investigations by the Office for Inclusion and Equity and the Office of Legal Affairs concluded Hutchison failed to disclose a relationship with a student and violated sexual misconduct policies. The University suspended Sarkar for a semester in 2017 after an investigation found he made sexual comments to students, according to the Austin American-Statesman. Resolution author Praveena Javvadi said the Senate passed a similar resolution at its last general assembly meeting in the spring, but this week’s resolution had additional stipulations and asked for a “system of transparency.” “Last year, we asked for a specific system to notify students (about the misconduct), but they said it’s not possible or feasible,” Javvadi said. “But students should be notified, and so many students don’t know about this. If (UT) figures out a way or system to notify, we can decide if it’s adequate or inadequate. Right now, we don’t have any system.” She said the previous resolution did not succeed partially because members left for the summer and could not properly follow up. “Because (the professors are listed) again, the University obviously didn’t listen,” said

Electronic entry system, security teams introduced for football games
UT iSchool offers new School Librarian Certificate Program

Students who attended Saturday’s football game against the University of Kansas may have seen new measures designed to increase entrance efficiency and safety at home games. Last week, Texas Athletics introduced a new electronic security system and the UT Police Department and Austin safety partners also formed rescue task force teams. Texas Football is the first college athletics program in the country to partner with security system CLEAR, according to a press release. CLEAR is a secure identity company which allows fans to enter the stadium by scanning their fingerprint and their ticket instead of their IDs after signing up with CLEAR online, according to the release. “We’re always looking for ways to enhance the fan experience at our athletics venues,” athletics director Chris Del Conte said in the release. “This partnership provides Longhorns fans with a convenient option that will certainly do that while making our stadium operations more efficient.” U T P D PAGE 2

Virgin Hyperloop One eyes Texas routes for high-speed transit website, Hyperloop transportation was first introduced by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and combines existing technologies such as electric motors, the maglev train system and vacuum pumps. According to KXAN, there are no commercial Hyperloop systems currently operating, but the company is expecting to open the first system in Dubai in 2020. “We are inherently safer than rails since we’re in enclosed environments with no weather delays and at-grade crossings of cars or other objects,” Kelly said. “We’re also 100% electric, which means no direct emission.” Construction of Hyperloop systems in Texas for passenger use cannot begin until the transportation is approved by the federal government and a certification facility is built, said Kevin Feldt, program manager at North Central Texas Council of Governments. If certified, Feldt said he believes Hyperloop will bring economic opportunities for Texas and research experiences for students. “The real benefit is Texas becomes a leader in forward-thinking transportation, and a lot of research dollars and research efforts would be focused on the state of Texas,” Feldt said.

Virgin Hyperloop One has identified Texas as a possible location for its high-speed transportation system. The company hopes to implement a Dallas-Laredo-Houston route by the mid2020s, said Ryan Kelly, head of marketing and communications for Virgin Hyperloop One. Austin and San Antonio will be on Hyperloop’s Texas route. According to Virgin Hyperloop One’s website, the route would take passengers from Dallas to Austin in about 25 minutes. Kelly said the $15 billion project would use pod vehicles within low-pressure tubes moved by magnetic levitation to travel up to 670 miles per hour. The route would transport more than 16,000 passengers in an hour, and a single pod would hold about 20 passengers, Kelly said. “Connecting major cities with high-speed transportation would be game-changing,” Kelly said. “Traveling from San Antonio to Austin in 12 minutes (with Hyperloop) compared to the hour-long drive will create many opportunities for Texans.” According to the company’s

Therapy dogs help students relieve stress during ‘Howl-o-ween’ event on campus By Carly Rose @carlyydrose
As part of an early Halloween celebration, puppies and holiday-themed festivities greeted dozens of students on campus Thursday evening. For their Howl-o-ween event, Campus Events + Entertainment’s Asian American Culture committee offered therapy dogs, Halloween movie trivia and miniature pumpkin decorating for students to enjoy at the Shirley Bird Perry Ballroom. “College is a brutal system, so you need ways to let your stress out, and dogs help with that,” event coordinator Ella Barwick said “I mean, they’re man’s best friend. They love you no matter what. Going up to a dog and it (being) so happy to see you just boosts your spirit. No pun intended.” Barwick said the committee also teamed up with Therapy Pet Pals of Texas, a nonprofit that provides therapy animal visitations, to host the event.

UT students pet a Therapy Pet Pal at Howl-o-ween, a Halloween-themed event at the Texas Union hosted by Campus Events + Entertainment on Oct. 24, 2019. Attendees could also make dog toys out of old shirts donated by committee members. They could choose to keep them for their own dog or donate to Therapy Pet Pals of Texas. Barwick said any leftover dog-related items from
the event will be donated to the nonprofit. Outside of the event, the committee encouraged people to enter a dog costume contest by submitting photos through email or social media. The photos were voted
on by attendees at the event, and the winner received a basket filled with dog treats and toys. “People like to dress their dogs in those outfits that are front-facing that have arms so when the dog is running
toward you, it looks like a tiny person,” environmental engineering senior Barwick said. “I’ve seen a couple of those.” Committee chair Tiara Boquiren said Therapy Pet Pals of Texas often partners with Campus E+E to bring its services to students. “I think a lot of it is just to get exposure for their brand and build that networking with this audience,” nutrition senior Boquiren said. “Therapy can be for all sorts of people, and being a super stressful campus with the competitive nature and atmosphere that we have here, we think it’s really appropriate to have them here.” Mathematics junior Meili Dubbs said she loved the dogs, but would have attended the event regardless of the dogs’ presence. “When (students) get really stressed, they tend to hide in their rooms,” Dubbs said. “It’s good to facilitate an event where you’re not hiding in your room and you see other students are also stressed.”

Javvadi, a government and Plan II junior. “Writing resolutions doesn’t have to have an actionable response, though. It’s also about showing your support and exercising your voice. If (UT) notifies students, they can make a decision. But if they don’t, it’s not good for their safety.” Senate president Elena Ivanova said she met with the provost in a closed-door meeting on the subject last year. She said they did not share a lot of information. “They informed us that the decision for faculty to teach is at the departmental level and not at the University level,” said Ivanova, public health, government and Plan II senior. Alyssa Hiarker, the other resolution author, said her position as president of the Liberal Arts Council made this resolution her
responsibility since Hutchison teaches English. Hiarker, a sustainability studies and journalism junior, said other students in the Liberal Arts Council are organizing a sit-in in the provost’s office Friday to protest these professors. “We’re going to keep fighting,” Hiarker said. “We’re going to make sure students have the best, safest education they can, and we’re going to do everything in our power to do that either by holding protests, working with administrators or having town halls. Anything we can do to raise awareness and show administration this isn’t just something we kind of want. It’s something students need.” Javvadi said the legislation will have a positive outcome even if the University does not remove the professors. “It’s about getting people’s attention and getting them aware,” Javvadi said. “By this, by the sit-in, people will know. (It’s about using) our voice in a matter of large effect.”

CLEAR entry pods are available at gate 25, but because students with the Big Ticket must enter through other designated gates, students with Big Tickets cannot use the CLEAR entry system, said John Bianco, associate athletics director of communications. Students without the Big Ticket can sign up for CLEAR online for free with their UT email, and non-students have to pay $179 per year to sign up, according to the release. Environmental engineering freshman Sneha Sundar said she attended the Kansas game with a Big Ticket. She said it would be more efficient if Big Ticket holders could use the CLEAR system and if it were free for all fans. “I feel like there’s only a tiny population of students who go (to) every game that don’t have The Big Ticket because that’s much more expensive,” Sundar said. “Implementing (CLEAR for Big Ticket holders) would be better for everybody (without) having to pay for it, because paying for it … contradicts the whole purpose of it.” UTPD is also partnering with Austin-Travis County Emergency

Eric Johanson said. “(The idea is) to get them on scene providing medical care sooner than a traditional EMS model would provide.” In a traditional EMS model, Johanson said, EMS would be set a few blocks from a mass casualty incident site and would not go on site until after the threat passed and police cleared the scene. Kevin Parker, commander of special events for Austin-Travis County EMS, said rescue task force teams allow people to receive faster medical attention. “Having those paramedics who are able to be there immediately … to provide that point of injury care when it’s needed but also to direct the incoming resources is super valuable to reduce the injury and death rates to these individuals,” Parker said.

Students in CNS-to-Nursing program will soon begin nursing coursework By Nathan Han @NathanHan13
A required 1-to-10 faculty-to-student ratio and limited room for student placements at clinical sites means the School of Nursing accepts few students every year. For fall 2018, the school created the CNS-to-Nursing program, which guarantees students a spot at the School of Nursing after transferring from the College of Natural Sciences. Now, after studying for three semesters, students will take the leap into the program next semester. “The folks that we extended

For the 2018-19 school year, 90 students applying to the School of Nursing for their freshman year were directly admitted, and 40 were offered entrance into the CNS-to-Nursing program. Nguyen said about 2,300 to 2,700 total students applied to the School of Nursing. “The only thing that wasn’t super clear is that not everyone else in my freshman class has to go

She said Jansen is a dedicated educator and will do well with the program. “She was always very passionate about readings and books and always emphasized that and the importance of it for children,” Liddiard said. “I have seen from a lot of people that librarians can make a huge impact on children and their education … offering (the certificate) to add to your degree — that would be a positive.”

through this process,” said Kaitlyn Lee, an undeclared freshman in the program. “But I can deal with the extra half semester and the extra things I need to do if that means I’m here.” Nguyen said students in the program take similar classes to directly admitted nursing freshmen during their first two semesters. However, Nguyen said they have an extra semester before they enter the nursing school in their second year, which means they have to graduate in four and a half years. “Having to stay an extra semester is definitely tough,” said Jheripye Reyes, an undeclared freshman in the program. “But in the end, I’m grateful (that) I have
this opportunity in the first place.” Of the 40 students offered entrance into the school, Nguyen said between 20 and 25 of the 30 students that accepted are still pursuing the nursing program. These students have to maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher, pass certain classes, have 120 hours of volunteering hours related to health care and write an essay before they can transfer, Nguyen said. “Some have already said, ‘(Nursing) is not what I want to do,’” Nguyen said. “That’s very important because I’d rather get students to go where they want to go to rather than a program that is not what they want.”

Why are they still here? Despite sexual misconduct and Title IX violations, Coleman Hutchison and Sahotra Sarkar are on Spring 2020’s course schedule.
By The Daily Texan Editorial Board We’re sick of writing this editorial. We’re sick of having to warn students semester after semester after semester after semester that professors who may be teaching their classes have committed sexual misconduct against students. Yet, UT brings these same professors back on the class schedule to teach undergraduate students and honors courses. The University has made painfully little effort to let students know about these professors’ histories, the sexual misconduct that their students have endured — and could easily endure again. Coleman Hutchison was found in violation of the University’s sexual misconduct policy twice. Graduate students described his inappropriate comments and overt sexual advances. He will be teaching an English Honors and Liberal Arts Honors course this spring, E 350R, which is cross-listed as LAH 350. Sahotra Sarkar was found in violation of Title IX policy, and was suspended for a semester and prohibited from teaching or advising during that time. Students said he asked them to pose for nude photographs and swim with him at nude beaches. He will be teaching two lower-division philosophy courses, PHL 315F and PHL 316K, this spring. Hutchison and Sarkar have denied many of the allegations. Neither were available for comment before print. We wish we could tell you the names of the other professors who are still teaching after targeting their students. There were 44 misconduct complaints filed by students against faculty and staff during the 2016-17 school year. We can only definitively mention Hutchison and Sarkar. We only know about their actions through the work of student and professional journalists and the survivors courageous enough to come forward.
LEGALESE | Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or the writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the UT administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Media Board of Operating Trustees.
We reached out to the English Honors Program to determine why they are letting Hutchison teach one of their courses, a small class designed for less than 35 students. In a statement emailed to us by Martin Kevorkian, chair of the English department, the University said they “do not believe Hutchison is a safety threat to students.”
Hutchison has been found in violation of two policies, Sarkar one. How many violations idoes it take to become a threat to student safety?”
Remember that Phil Nemy, the former UT-Los Angeles director, was found in violation of University sexual misconduct policy in 2013. No one told students, and he was rehired year after year. After The Daily Texan broke the story of his misconduct in December 2018, four more people came forward with complaints of misconduct that occurred after his initial violation. Nemy no longer works for UT, but the damage was done. The University didn’t view him as enough of a threat in 2013 to keep away from students, and more students were targeted. Hutchison has been found in violation of two policies, Sarkar one. How many violations does it take to become a threat to student safety? When Hutchison was scheduled to teach undergraduates last fall after being found in violation of misconduct and harassment policies, UT removed him from the
schedule after our pushback as a community. It was a small victory, but protecting students from possible misconduct is always worth celebrating. He is, however, teaching an English course this semester. Now, we must again stand together as a community to protect ourselves and our peers. Today, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., students are holding a sit-in at Provost Maurie McInnis’ office, Main Building 201. They’re calling for a UT-wide report informing students of professors who have violated the University’s sexual misconduct policy. They also demand a town hall led by the provost, an increase in resources for interpersonal violence prevention, and a statement from the University in response to these demands. We’ll be joining them. We hope you will too. Even if Hutchison and Sarkar are removed from next semester’s course schedule there will still be up to 44 faculty and staff who have committed harassment or misconduct that we don’t know about. This is only based on data from the 2016-17 school year, so that number could be much higher. Students deserve a database with all findings of sexual misconduct, harassment and assault violations committed by professors and faculty. We deserve to know which professors have targeted our peers. We deserve to walk into classrooms and office hours without wondering whether our professors will threaten our personal safety. If UT is ashamed to make this information public and accessible — if they are afraid it will hurt the University’s image — then shame on them. The vanity of this institution will never be more important than the 50,000 students it serves. The editorial board is composed of associate editors Emily Caldwell, Angélica López, Sanika Nayak, Abby Springs and editor-in-chief Spencer Buckner.

Student nonprofit raises awareness for North Korea By Grace Ozor
@Grace_Sandra_O
Government senior Jason Guidangen knows what people think when they hear the words “North Korea.” “A lot of people’s conceptions of North Korea are primarily focused on Kim Jong Un, nukes and sort of high-level politics,” Guidangen said. As president of Liberty in North Korea Texas, Guidangen hopes to help change this narrative to focus on those affected. LiNK Texas’ motto is “People Over Politics.” The nonprofit, which has chapters at universities across the country, strives to raise both awareness and money for North Korean citizens. Cera Houston, psychology sophomore and secretary for LiNK Texas, believes many people have misconceptions about North Koreans’ attitudes toward their government. “People think they’re some sort of mind-controlled cult that follows (Kim Jong Un) wholeheartedly,” Houston said. “Obviously, that’s not the case.” Many North Koreans turned against the government in response to a famine in the 1990s which is estimated to
have killed between 240,000 to 2 million citizens. The government’s failure to provide food for its citizens, Houston said, led to North Koreans forming black markets known as jangmadangs to supply daily necessities. “It’s important to realize that (North Koreans) figure it out themselves,” Houston said. LiNK Texas strives to change students’ perceptions of North Korea in a variety of ways. At weekly meetings, they frequently show documentaries about the lives of North Koreans. Every semester the group hosts an awareness day to inform students about different aspects of North Korean society. At their most recent awareness day, the club set up its own market to teach students about the concept of jangmadangs. LiNK Texas also raises money for their parent group through weekly fundraisers in which they commonly sell lemonade and fried Oreos on Speedway. The national nonprofit uses the funds to run a modern-day underground railroad that helps North Korean refugees escape to China. “My indirect contribution to helping that occur is incredibly powerful,” Guidangen said. Members of the club also have the opportunity to meet
some of the refugees their money has aided. Several years ago, a small group traveled to South Korea to talk to North Koreans who had escaped using the underground railroad. LiNK Texas has also invited North Korean refugees to campus speaking engagements. Government senior Robert Gonzalez, who has been in the club since his freshman year, said he believes these personal interactions are the most powerful part of being in the club. “With a lot of other organizations that raise funds for causes, sometimes you get to see the end result, sometimes you don’t,” Gonzalez said. ”With LiNK, we are seeing where our money goes to. We are actually meeting face to face, shaking hands with, asking questions to the people our efforts helped.” The club hopes to gain more active members and continue to raise money in the near future, but Gonzalez said he hopes at some point the club will no longer be necessary. “The ultimate goal (is) that there will come a time where North Koreans will not have to travel this underground railroad to reach freedom,” Gonzalez said.

Even as the weather cools down, ice cream remains a popular treat for many students. A variety of dietary restrictions make it challenging for some to enjoy creamy desserts, given the few vegan options available. There are some great options, however, and The Daily Texan has compiled a list to aid in the quest for delicious vegan ice cream in Austin. NadaMoo! Scoop Shop As the name implies, NadaMoo!, located on South Lamar, is completely a dairy-free ice cream shop. Each flavor is crafted using coconut milk to achieve a creamy texture. NadaMoo! offers a variety of flavors, including seasonal flavors that allow the customer to continue trying new variations of vegan ice cream. In addition to the traditional scoops of dairy-free ice cream, NadaMoo! also serves milkshakes, sundaes and espresso. Each order is prepared to the customer’s request, with the option of adding toppings. Everything served at NadaMoo!, including the toppings, is vegan-friendly. These creamy treats are also available for purchase in pints to take home.

Gati Ice cream truck Gati sells flavors made from a coconut milk base at various locations around Austin. Most of the flavors contain four ingredients or less to keep the ice cream simple and flavorful. According to their website, Gati was started by the owner of Thai Fresh when she ordered too many mangoes and decided to turn them into ice cream. Due to the popularity of the Thai coconut milk ice cream, Gati opened as an ice cream truck, and the business is soon expanding to include a brick-and-mortar location. There are 40 different rotating ice cream flavors at Gati, all of which are vegan.

Longhorns ready for fight Texas goes ‘into a hornet’s nest’ in big road matchup to start second half of season.

he Longhorns will be traveling back to the Dallas-Fort Worth area to face off against the TCU Horned Frogs this Saturday. With one loss in conference play to Oklahoma and a close win against Kansas, the Longhorns have entered door-die territory; the latter half of their schedule will determine if they will play in the Big 12 Championship. TCU is coming off two consecutive losses, but the Horned Frogs still have defensive and offensive threats that are causes for concern. “I do know that they’re going to play really, really well and hard on defense, be very difficult to scheme against, and then especially with (junior wide receiver Jalen) Reagor and (senior running back Darius) Anderson, they have got two really explosive players on offense too,” Texas head coach Tom Herman said. Both players and Herman
pointed toward TCU’s strong defense. TCU has allowed 148 points in six games, but has some of the best defensive players in the Big 12. Junior linebacker Garrett Wallow is ranked second in the Big 12 in tackles with 40 solo and 23 assisted. Junior defensive tackle Ross Blacklock and senior safety Innis Gaines pose major threats to the Texas offense. Blacklock has 3.5 total sacks and will threaten Texas’ pass protection, which has been called into question since the Oklahoma game. “Number 90 (Blacklock) is a load,” Herman said. “He’s as good a defensive tackle as we’ll play this year. No. 6 (Gaines), their nickel, is a really, really active player. So they’re going to be really, really well-coached defensively and they are.” Junior quarterback Sam Ehlinger also pointed out their defensive line’s consistency and how Texas’ offense will be challenged. “They are obviously an incredible defense,” Ehlinger said. “It’s going to be a great challenge for us offensively this week. I think what they do, they do it well. And

Freshman shines in undefeated singles weekend By Nathan Han @NathanHan13
Freshman Lexi Ryngler had her coming out party at the ITA Texas Regionals in College Station last week. The California native didn’t drop a single set in her five singles matches. Ryngler concluded her impressive run with a 6-4, 6-3 win in the semifinals Sunday against the top seed in the tournament, No. 28 Katya Townsend of Texas A&M, who had just taken down Ryngler’s teammate junior Fernanda Labraña in the quarterfinals. She started off with a 4-0 lead in the opening set and fended off a 4-0 run from Townsend to win the first set 6-4 and closed out the second set 6-3. “It’s very encouraging that
Lexi has seen this level of success so early into her career as a freshman in her first semester,” Texas head coach Howard Joffe said. “It’s a great sign for our team looking forward in the year.” Ryngler withdrew from the finals against another Aggie, Lucia Quiterio. Head coach Howard Joffe declined to comment about why Ryngler dropped out but did say that the withdrawal was not directly injury-related. Ryngler played in the H-E-B Women’s Pro Tennis Open this Wednesday, where she fell 7-5, 6-3. Sophomore Marta Perez Mur also had an impressive showing at the ITA Texas Regionals. In both the round of 16 and the quarterfinals, Perez Mur lost the first set and battled to win a second-set tiebreaker and the third set,
taking down Sahaja Yamalpalli of Sam Houston State University, 2-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 and Lisa Mays of Texas Tech, 0-6, 7-6 (11-9), 6-3. She fell in the semifinals to Quiterio of Texas A&M 6-3, 6-0. “It’s great to see Marta return to form after her injuries last year,” Joffe said. “She showed a ton of progress and a ton of grit.” As Perez Mur, Ryngler and other players on the women’s tennis team headed straight into the H-E-B Pro Tennis Open this week only a few days of rest, Joffe said he’s encouraged by the team’s performance so far this fall season. “We’ve made good steps forward as a team working on our accountability and discipline,” Joffe said. “But it’s still a really big aspect of our game we need to focus on every day.”

Not-so-scary Halloween movies
For those wanting to get in the Halloween spirit but are easily scared by traditional horror flicks, check out these films. By Catherine Cardenas @c_aaattt
ith Halloween less than a week away, it’s finally time to bingewatch spooky movies. If you’re ready to get in the Halloween spirit but aren’t a fan of jump scares and crazy clowns, here are The Daily Texan’s recommendations for some not-so-scary Halloween movies. Hocus Pocus (1993) A Halloween classic, “Hocus Pocus” has been a family favorite since its release in 1993. The movie follows three witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) in Salem, Massachusetts, who are trying to get back their magic book of spells to stay immortal. Filled with comedy, drama and romance, this iconic movie is perfect for those who like magic and witches but aren’t ready to fully commit to the horror genre. “Hocus Pocus” can be rented on Amazon Prime for $3.99. Twitches (2005, 2007) “Twitches” and “Twitches Too” star Disney icons Tia Mowry-Hardrict and her twin Tamera Mowry-Housley (“Sister Sister”). The plot follows two identical twins who meet for the first time in a chance encounter on their 21st birthday, which is also Halloween. The girls embark on a whirlwind day of discovering their powers and joining together to stop the forces of darkness. A childhood favorite of many, this film and its sequel center more on spellbinding family issues than darkness itself. Both movies are available to watch for free on the DisneyNOW app. Practical Magic (1998) This late-‘90s film follows sisters Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman). Born with witching powers, the two sisters tend to stay away from their magical roots until Gillian’s drunken boyfriend ends up dead and the sisters try to revive him. Scrambling to bring him back with their out-of-practice powers, the sisters accidentally release an evil spirit. This romantic comedy is full of feel-good scenes, with a central theme surrounding the importance of family and the bond between
rocky higine
sisters. “Practical Magic” is available to rent on Amazon Prime for $3.99. Halloweentown (1998, 2001, 2004, 2006) Another Disney classic, the “Halloweentown” series was a staple for many Halloween seasons on the Disney Channel. The first of four films in the franchise follows Marnie Piper (Kimberly J. Brown), who discovers she is part of a family of witches. She discovers Halloweentown, her grandmother’s home, where witches,
warlocks and werewolves live together in harmony. A childhood icon, this film series always manages to create a sense of fall in the air, bringing nostalgia with it. “Halloweentown” is available to watch for free on the DisneyNOW app. Sleepy Hollow (1999) “Sleepy Hollow” is the scariest movie on the list. But if you can get past a bit of gore, “Sleepy Hollow” is perfect for those who would like to be a little creeped out, but not wake up with
/ the daily texan staff
nightmares every night. The movie follows Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp), a doctor sent to the little town of Sleepy Hollow, where many are turning up dead. Upon arrival, the townspeople claim the killings are at the fault of the “Headless Horseman,” a ghost terrorizing the town. Another Tim Burton production, this movie balances gore, humor and romance, three elements that are quite hard to blend. “Sleepy Hollow” is available to view for free on Philo with a subscription, or to rent on Amazon Prime for $2.99.
