The Wild Steelions and Northern Steel Drums #1 entertained at dinner last Thursday on the patio at The Inn on campus.

They banged out Caribbean music with their sticks on various kinds of drums in appropriate weather.

Steel drum music originated in Trinidad and Tobago. At 5 o’clock on Thursday it was 90 degrees in Ada, six degrees hotter than in Trinidad at that time. Nevertheless, the diners sat back and enjoyed the beat from the steelpans.

Dr. Sarah Waters has directed steel drums at ONU for several years. The Wild Steelions consist of junior and senior high school students from Ada and nearby towns.

Open house in Ada office from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“Massive” (at least for Ada) is the word best to describe the James Lehr Kennedy Engineering Building now under construction between the pharmacy building and the library. The three-story, $30 million structure, when completed next fall, will double the size of the current Biggs Engineering Building. The new facility already has had a positive impact on the incoming engineering class this fall with more students enrolling in anticipation of a modern learning environment.
