Marshall Bartholomew (1885-1978) Traditional German MelodyLatin: Gaudeamus igitur Juvenes dum sumus. Post jucundam juventutem Post molestam senectutem Nos habebit humus. Vivat academia, vivant professores! Vivat membrum quodlibet, vivant membra quaelibet Semper sint in flore.English Translation: Therefore let us party While we are young! After pleasant youth After troublesome old age The earth will have us! Long live the university! Long live the professors! Long live any student! Long live any students whatsoever! May they always be the best!I Come Singing Text by Jacob Auslander Composed by Eric William Barnum (b. 1979) Charles Ligus, percussionI come singing the keen sweet smell of grass Cut after rain, And the cool ripple of drops that pass Over the grain, And the drenched light drifting across the plain. I come chanting the mad bloom of the fall. And the swallows Rallying in clans to the rapid call From the hollows, And the wet west wind swooping down on the swallows. I come shrilling the sharp white of December, The night like quick steel Swung by a gust in its plunge through the pallid ember Of dusk, and the heel Of the fierce green dark grinding the stars like steel.Haste Thee, Nymph from L’Allegro, Il Penseroso ed Il Moderato (HWV 55) George Frederic Handel (1685-1759) Ed. & arr. Eugene Rogers Dr. Sarah Luebke, soloistAir: Haste thee, nymph, and bring with thee Jest and youthful jollity, Quips and cranks, and wanton wiles, Nods, and becks, and wreathed smiles Such as hang on Hebe’s cheek, And love to live in dimple sleek, Sport, that wrinkled care derides, And laughter, holding both his sides.Chorus: Haste thee, nymph, and bring with thee Jest, and youthful jollity; Sport, that wrinkled care derides, And laughter, holding both his sides.We Toast the Days Linda Kachelmeier (b. 1965)When the clock strikes twelve And another year has gone, I give a kiss to you As remembrance of the past we have shared And the future yet to come. We toast the days, both good and bad, The old friends and the new. When the clock strikes twelve And another year has gone, I give a kiss to you. While the night is long And the bitter cold has come, We lengthen our embrace To sustain us as we mourn our regrets And the fear of days unknown. We toast the days… As we stand on the edge Of another bright new year, I take your hand in mine With assurance of The courage we will find And the hope that leads us on. We toast the days…Leron, Leron sinta Traditional Filipino folk song arr. Saunder Choi (b. 1988)Tagalog: Leron, Leron sinta, buko ng papaya Dala-dala’y buslo, sisidlan ng bunga, Pagdating sa dulo’y, nabali ang sanga. Kapos kapalaran, humanap ng iba. Gumising ka, neneng; Tayo’y manampalok. Dalhin mo ang buslong, sisidlan ng hinog. Pagdating sa dulo’y, lalamba-lambayog. Kumapit ka, neneng; Baka ka mahulog. Ang iibigin ko’y babaeng maganda. Ang rosas niya’y pito; Ang saya niya’y siyam. Ang lalakarin niya’y parte ng dinulang. Isang pinggang pansit ang kanyang kalaban.English: Leron, Leron my dear, blossoms of the papaya tree, With a bamboo basket, he’d gather some fruits. But when he reached the top (of the tree) the branch broke. Oh, what a trick of fate, he had to search for another. Wake up, *neneng; let’s pick some tamarind fruits. Take the bamboo baskets, to put the ripe ones in. Upon reaching the top (of the tree), the branches swayed heavily. Hold on tight, neneng, as you might fall. The one I will love is a beautiful girl. She has seven roses and nine dresses. The journey she will take is the distance of a table. A plate of noodles is her foe! *neneng is a colloquial term referring to a girl, and does not have an adequate English translation.Forward Falcons!

McKinney Come and let our swelling song Mount like the whirling wind, As it meets our singing throng, So Blithe of heart and mind Care and sorrow now be gone Brothers, sing on!Youth is a wand’ring troubadour Sailing the singing breeze, Wooing a maid on a distant shore, Over the tossing seas; Steering by the stars above, His vessel a song of love.

Are you interested in stargazing and looking at celestial objects through telescopes? Come check out the Department of Physics & Astronomy rooftop observatory during public stargazing sessions. The rooftop observatory includes a 0.5-meter research grade telescope as well as smaller “amateur astronomer” telescopes, which you will be able to look through. You will also learn how to find major constellations and any planets currently visible.Stargazes take place on the roof of the Physical Sciences Laboratory Building. The roof can be accessed by taking the elevator to the roof (press the “R” button in the elevator). Signs in the hallway will help direct you to the elevator. Do not use the stairs to go to the roof. The “R” button on the elevator will be unlocked at the start time of the stargaze session. If you arrive before it is unlocked, please wait on the first floor for the session to begin. It is recommended that you dress warmly. The roof is usually colder and windier than the ground.While on the roof for a stargaze, please refrain from talking on your cell phone so that you do not interrupt others or stop them from hearing what is being discussed. The use of phones for flash free pictures or astronomy apps is allowed. Please do not use the light on your phone though since dark adaptation is important for viewing the nighttime sky.Astronomical objects can only be seen when the sky is totally or mostly clear, therefore stargaze cannot be held unless the weather is clear. If it is snowing, raining, foggy, cloudy, or even partly cloudy there will be no stargaze session that night. If you aren’t sure if the conditions will permit a stargaze session, you can call (419) 372-8831 for a recorded message telling whether the sessions will be held or canceled that night. The message is set one hour before the scheduled start of the session. If you call earlier than one hour before the start time you may receive an incorrect message.When you arrive at the roof and exit the elevator, you will be greeted by one of the stargaze personnel and directed to the various stations you can visit. If you are attending the stargaze for a general visit (rather than as part of an astronomy course), please let the greeter know.In addition to the listed stargazing sessions, weather permitting, there may also be an opportunity for stargazing following evening Planetarium shows.
