THE STORY -

By Monty Siekerman
Our little polar bear friend Bi has traversed the Village of Ada and now, in Part 3 of our saga, we find him throughout campus.

He finds Klondike’s in McIntosh, a buddy at The Inn, a sign pointing to Klondike’s den, even a place where people plunge into the icy cold water in February.

Follow him through campus in today’s installment.

Tomorrow — total polar bear country can be found at King-Horn/Sports Center. This town and campus is polar bear crazy, as Bi found out on his trip here during a harsh winter.
