News reports have mentioned Day of the Dead more often this year. Is this a new holiday coming to America? Can one really celebrate death? Even the local theatre now has "Happy Death Day" playing.
Not to be left behind, the ONU Latino Student Union held a celebration/ observance of Day of the Dead on Monday afternoon in Affinity Commons.
There were snacks and table decor that looked a lot like spooky Halloween decorations. Those who attended made papel picado, which are cutouts using tissue paper.
Plus, the uninitiated learned a little more about Day of the Dead.
New officers of the Ada Kiwanis Club are (from left) Jack Jeffery, president; Joe Ferguson, vice president; Jon Umphress, secretary; and Brian Marshall, treasurer. The club supports many youth programs in the community.
The current issue (November) of Ohio Cooperative Living magazine features a cover story about the dogs in training at ONU to be service dogs. Inside the magazine, the two-page spread tells about Polar Paws and how the puppies, when fully trained, will help people with disabilities.
