Did you hear that noise? Did you feel the earth shake a little beneath your feet?
By golly, it’s a polar bear! Of course, there would be a polar bear in Ada this year with the extremely low temperatures the past couple of months.
What’s he doing here? Seems like our furry friend headed south from the Arctic tundra to find his buddy Klondike. He heard Klondike was in Ada, having the distinction of being the ONU mascot since 1923; didn’t get his name Klondike until 2006, however.

It was a whiteout at King-Horn Saturday when the men’s basketball team played Capital and those attending opened their wallets and purses to give to cystic fibrosis research.
The appeal for funds hoped to raise about $2,000, bringing the total to near $50,000 since the CF fundraisers began at Northern. The whiteout included white shirts and towels for spectators.
The team was dressed in white except for a touch of orange. Even the polar bear was appropriately dressed in white, but Klondike always is.

On Saturday, the ONU Athletic Training staff will attempt to fill King Horn Sports Center in an effort to raise awareness for cystic fibrosis.
They will host a ‘White Out for CF’ fundraiser in conjunction with the home men’s basketball game, a 2 p.m. tilt vs. Capital.
The staff will give free, white event t-shirts beginning at 1 p.m. on a first-come, first-serve basis. They will also be raffling off tickets for VIP seating with complimentary pizza and pop during the game, as well as other table items such as Kindles, ONU gear and more.
