Daily Texan Newscast: October 9, 2015

Lillian Michel and Anthony Green
October 9, 2015

On this week's episode of The Daily Texan Newscast, we discuss the online threat to campus which UTPD deemed non-credible  Daniel Jaffe’s appointment as Vice President of Research and decreases in campus food waste. We analyze updates to campus carry — including the departure of economics professor Daniel Hamermesh — and increased female enrollment within the Cockrell School of Engineering. We also look to the Red River Showdown with Longhorn gameday predictions, and we break down the must-see artists of Austin City Limits Music Festival's second weekend. This newscast also features a review of Deafheaven's third album New Bermuda.​
