  • This Recording of the University of California Band Highlights the Traditions and Spirit of the Campus, Some Stretching Back to the Birth of the University
    This recording of the University of California Band highlights the traditions and spirit of the campus, some stretching back to the birth of the University. These songs help to infuse new students every year with the California Spirit, passing on feelings of camaraderie, heart, and brotherhood to new sons and daughters of California. Whether the University hymns or the fight songs played from carillon in Sather Tower, being heard within the confines of California Memorial stadium or Haas Pavilion, these songs have stood the test of time as being parts of the University of California. We record these songs in the hopes that alumni, students, and those connected with the University of California can all enjoy them, and share them with their families. Thanks go to Roschelle Paul for her work in preserving the history of these songs during World War II, the History Committee of the California Alumni Association for their work on The Pride of California: A Cal Band Centennial Celebration in 1993, to the late Howdy Brownson (’48) of the California Men’s Octet, to Director Robert Calonico for his dedication and patience as the guardian to all bandsmen who marched for him, and to the different carriers of the California Spirit who pass their love of the University on to further generations of Californians through song and story. -Kiran N. Permaul, Class of 2014 Fight for California- Music by Earl Elleson McCoy 1906, Lyrics by Robert N. Fitch (’09) 1909, Arranged by Robert O. Briggs (’51) In 1906 Earl McCoy penned the Lights Out March, the signature being Taps in the middle of the break strain.

And the clock was ticking. So a team of doctors at Lucile Packard © 2007 Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Children’s Hospital came up with a bold plan – use a Berlin Heart, an artifi cial pump, until a transplant could be found. That the device had only been used a few times in the U.S. didn’t daunt them. They developed a protocol just for Miles. It was more than successful, it was groundbreaking for other pediatric heart patients. It’s this kind of innovative thinking, Lucile Packard combined with sensitive, nurturing care, that makes Packard Children’s a world-class Children’s Hospital hospital and Miles a world-class bundle of energy.

Why does Boston collectively rise, fall, then rise again with the fate of the Red Sox? How have Yao Ming, the NBA star, and Chien-Ming Wang, the Yankees pitcher, come to be national heroes in the People’s Republic and Taiwan, respectively, even though they ply their (quite different) trades an ocean away? And how have the Olym- pic Games, created to promote the ideal of international sportsmanship, become such a lightning rod for demonstrations of nationalist pride? There are no simple answers to these questions, but with the 2008 Beijing Olympics at hand, it is an opportune moment to address the politi- cal history of sport in modern China.
