IEEE Students Light Up the Dance Floor

Engineers, light-emitting diodes, soldering irons, dance parties -- of these
four, which one doesn't belong? To members of the IEEE Student Branch
at Washington University, in St. Louis, all four belong, especially in the
computer-controlled dance floor they designed and built that lights up in
wildly changing patterns while dancers make their craziest moves.

New Years Dancin' Poem

It's time we all started dancin'
Under the magnificent sun
We're all gettin' tired of waitin'
For the omnipotent One...

He's in us, He is us, He knows it
It's time that we knew it too
The One we seek is all over
It's up to us to break through..

There's a soul that ties us together
Its name is whatever you say
Come sit with me now New Year's Evening
And we'll drink to the undying way...

Tomorrow is never the right time
For us it's always today
So grab a partner, my friends, and we'll all dance
'Round that rock that stands in our way...

Let's Re-solve those old resolutions
Re-solve them once and for all
Take the old fears, replace them with new ones
And in the New Year just have a ball.

- Rev. J. Alfred Buckman

Dance Poem

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"

You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
