Gentlemen, start your Baja car engines

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Sunday, March 29, 2015

ONU students design, build, test, and race a Baja car. And, they do it as a club...no academic credit...just the joy of learning and competing.

A couple of years ago the local team ranked third in points on the international level. The Baja Race Series has more than 100 teams and is sanctioned by the Society of Automotive Engineers. 

In April and May they will race in three states from coast to coast. Working on the project is open to all students, although civil and mechanical engineering students seem to be in the majority.

Face it - there's lots of polar bears in Ada, just don't get too close to this one

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, March 27, 2015

By Monty Siekerman
An interesting piece of art at King-Horn on campus is viewed by many people every day. It's the face of a polar bear. Up close, the installation looks like a bunch of blurred tiles. As you move away from the art piece, the image of the school's mascot becomes clearer and clearer...intriguing, bordering on "participatory art," never boring no matter how many times you pass by, and often talked about by those who come upon it...almost stops you in your tracks, unexpectedly.
