Everyone has dreams, and most ev-eryone 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 discov-ered eventually became her album “Blue Dream.” On Saturday, Fink will perform songs from this album at OPOLIS and hypnotize the audience into the dream-like 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 person-al 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 emo-tional 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 ther-apy in and of itself,” Fink said.

She said she also enjoys the opportu-nities 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 fes-tival 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 re-cord for the people that accurately rep-resents the record and gives life to that period,” Fink said.

dobe afraid of the dark

Prepare for the year’s creepiest holiday with

these film classics

Kelly Rogers | @knrogers

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.

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.

Of all the iconic Alfred Hitchcock films, “Psycho” is a sta-ple 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 ap-proach to illustrating violence and horror to an unsuspect-ing audience just inches from falling off of their movie seats. Not only was this a historical release for Hitcock’s film rep-utation, but it also was the debut of the first flushing toilet footage in a mainstream American film, boosting the creep factor to infinite levels.

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.

It’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 reach-out-and-grab-you graphics, there are a few classics that will do just the same, sans the black-rimmed glasses.

Fall 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:

PICK A PUMPKINFrom 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 pump-kins of all sizes, ranging in price from a pocketful of change to a crisp, green Andrew Jackson.

EXPLORE THE DARKIf the thrill-seeker in you needs an adrenaline rush, spooky actors and dark cor-

ners provide the perfect setting for scares. The haunted house can be interpreted in many different ways, with a variety of settings and intensity levels for everyone.

You can venture as far as Tulsa, to The Hex House, or stay here on campus for the Union Programming Board’s first Haunted House on Oct. 29.

WATCH A CLASSICWhether 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.

The 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 holi-day 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 hid-eous 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:

Kaitlyn Underwood | @kaitunderwood

When you want to wear seasonal colors,

stick to deep jewel tones and neutralsColors like plum, hunter green, wheat-yellow, choc-

olate brown and charcoal grey all conjure the coziness of fall. You can populate your wardrobe with the col-ors 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 orangeInvest in a classic beige trench coat or heavier wool

pea coat in navy blue or black for fall. You’ll thank your-self 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 socksPatterned 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 add texture and warmth to fall outfits,

just avoid the orange onesScarves are a quick and practical way to transition out-

fits from season to season. Chunky knit scarves add seri-ous warmth to your ensemble and look as good on men as they do on women. Choose a bright scarf as the center-piece of an outfit or a more subdued one to add coziness without distracting from your getup.

DON’T WEAR ORANGE

Walker, a custodian, had finished work. Standing in the parking lot about to leave, she looked back into The Daily’s newsroom through a window and saw what appeared to be a little girl waving her arms in the supposedly empty newsroom.

“The alarm [to the newsroom] was set. The doors were locked. Nobody should’ve been in there,” Walker said.

Jeffrey Provine, OU ghost tour guide and freshman programs instructor, says stories like Walker’s are common. When Provine hears two similar stories from two sources that don’t know each other, he starts to research the building’s histo-ry to see if the ghost sightings correlate to any real-life events. Some of the stories Provine hears turn into parts of his books, which document some of OU’s haunted history — and there are plenty of spooky stories.

“It turns out there’s tons of these ghost stories around OU,” Provine said.

The first OU ghost story Provine ever heard was about the ghost of Ellison Hall. Provine refers to Ellison Hall as the most haunted building on campus.

Ellison Hall, built in 1928, was original-ly Hygeia Hall, the first infirmary on cam-pus. One day, as the story goes, a boy was skating on Elm Avenue. The boy collapsed — some say he was struck by a car, others claim he suffered an asthma attack — and onlookers rushed him to the infirmary. The boy died, but some say that his spirit lives on in Ellison wandering the halls.

“The motion sensor lights turn on without anybody in the room. The elevator goes to random floors by itself … late at night, people hear something rolling down the hall, even though nobody’s there,” Provine said.

Provine told this story to some friends he met while studying abroad in England in 2005.

“Everything’s haunted in England, and that was the only story I knew,” he said.

Urged by his friends to find other eerie tales, Provine researched OU’s history and found many more stories

than he expected, enough to run a Ghost Tour in 2009, which proved successful enough to become an annual event.

Provine said he encourages partici-pants in the Ghost Tours to share any ethereal experiences they have with the group.

“A lot of the time, people don’t really want to share things like that, but when we bring up the topic, it gets people talking.” Provine said. “It’s really cool to see what people are willing to share.”

The History Press eventually published a compilation of Provine’s stories last year in his book “Campus Ghosts of Norman, Oklahoma.” A second book, “Haunted Norman,” was published Sept. 28.

“It’s really wild,” Provine said. “You learn so much about the history of all these places on campus that you’d never expect.”

One of Provine’s favorite stories in-volves the beheaded boy of Cate cafeteria.

According to legend, during the summer of 1986 a boy was attending a linguistics program at OU. One day, the boy, having wandered around the Cate caf-eteria for a time, discovered the dumbwaiter in the basement and decided to crawl in. When somebody called the dumbwaiter, the boy’s head was stuck in the rapidly ascending device until it was removed.

Provine said that although the dumbwaiter is gone, workers still say they hear banging noises in Cate Center, “like people working on machinery.”

While there are many violent and macabre stories like this — the house on the cover of

“Campus Ghosts” is the alleged site of anoth-er 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 ex-pressing 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 H a l l , “they said they were

the most polite ghosts they’d

ever seen.”

When 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 opportuni-ty to play our best football yet here

in the month of October.”The Horned Frogs return third-year

quarterback Trevone Boykin. Against OU last sea-son, 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 per-

formance this season is

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 im-prove as he continues to learn the offense.

“He’s a very fast player,” Patterson said. “The sky’s the limit for him and he’s just going to keep getting better.”

On the other side of the ball, TCU’s defense gave the Sooners problems in 2013. The squad 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.”

HOROSCOPE By Eugenia Last

Copyright 2014, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2014

Make a pact with yourself. Keep your life in perspective and donʼt get so bogged down with professional issues that you neglect personal matters. Take time to savor the little things. Nature and music both have relaxing properties. A romantic relationship will bring great fulfi llment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Strive to be the best you can be. Keep your options open in order to take advantage of promising choices that will allow you to use your skills diversely. Master something that you enjoy doing.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Read between the lines. False or confl icting information is apparent. Ask ques-tions to satisfy your curiosity and avoid ending up in a compromising or awkward position.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Reach outside the family circle if you need help. Emotions are bound to get in the way if relatives or friends try to give you advice. Look for an unbiased counselor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Diffi culties may arise at work if you are drawn into a battle of wills with a colleague. Take the high road and stick to the facts. An emotional reaction will leave a bad impression.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It would be a good idea to revisit places that have special meaning for you. Con-jure up pleasant memories in order to gain some thought-provoking insight into where you are and where you want to end up.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Trade shows or conventions will offer valuable information about starting your own business. Put yourself in the loop so that you can keep abreast of opportunities to highlight your skills and services.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Make the most of what you have. Whiling away the time hoping Lady Luck will fall in your lap is not the answer. Hard work, dedication and persistence are required to advance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be tolerant of other peopleʼs opinions. There is no need to get upset if things arenʼt done your way. Trying to control everything will work against you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Donʼt let anyone put you down. Deal with a hurtful comment quickly if it is causing you anguish. Make it clear that you donʼt appreciate being treated poorly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Hesita-tion and self-doubt will deter you from making the gains that will help you feel good about who you are and what you do. Stop procrastinating and get moving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Show more determination; you have the strength to go the distance, so hit the ground running. Close a deal or fi nish a project that youʼve left lingering. Donʼt fold under pressure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will be able to coax others into join-ing your cause. If you are vigilant, you will be able to take advantage of an opportunity. Keep your emotions in check, and be fi rm.

on theFIELDThe evolution of the Sooner football uniform

Looking for a sports-inspired costume idea? Draw some inspiration from these classic Sooner uniforms going all the way back to 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.

Tailback James Ray Jackson picks up a couple of yards in a pic-ture 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.

1956 1966

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.

1974

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.

1985

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.

1995

Quarterback Jason White makes a play with his legs in a pic-ture 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 Wilkinson-era, featuring the white helmets OU hadn’t worn since 1965. OU wore the uniforms once, in a game it won handily against North Texas.

2003

Quarterback Sam Bradford looks for the open receiver in a pic-ture 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.

2008

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.

2013

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.
