400 bowls x $10 = $4,000.

That's the amount raised Saturday at an Artists Against Hunger luncheon held at the Wilson Art Building.

Ceramic bowls were created by ONU students, faculty, and staff and Ada students. Even those who attend the Child Development Center had a part in it.

For $10, a purchaser received a unique bowl of their choosing and could fill it as many times as they wished from an array of various handmade soups kept warm in 24 crock pots. There was pizza for the anti-soup crowd.
