The day that the Easter Bunny arrived in Ada

We don't know who had the most fun - the sorority sisters who sponsored a Sunday afternoon egg hunt, or the participants.

Yoga cool down

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

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. We asked the artist to comment on her work...here is her reply:

Drum roll please...here's the Ada school honor roll
