Antarctica Medal 1st Class	"Alma Mater AU" - 1961   When o'er snow covered hills we came, windsocked and torn by the antarctic's ire, A hamlet town we beheld'n the main, built of olden fame and sacred fire.   E're majestic it lay before us, crystalline glint acute yet oblique, Which filled our hearts with wonder and awe, for what else could it be- but University Peak?   The frosty oasis then sang us a rhapsody of educational excellence unsurpassed Of pandas twirling in the midnight breeze through the crowd below there as it massed   Ensconced by a miracle of nature unfound a miracle of technology in kinds An institution with ice-covered halls where the touch of grace is sown and shines
Antarctica Medal 2nd Class	Student Oath (traditional)   I, Student of Antarctica U Hold this truth to be self-evident: That all the Continents were not made equal...   But that they were endowed indeed With splendorous wonder and trait unique And since that time that came to heed... In the wisp of the willow, in the dust in the wind Unto ourselves, ourselves do we make.   Yet I accept the possibility Of coexistence and mutual ecology.   And I will always work to help My University to spread the hope of man Through honesty our guide and friend As our goal is and ever will be To woe the sullen deathly trend And bring back hope to thee Of an Earth that is without end.
Phased Out Antarctica Medal	AU Fight Song" - 1987   The warriors of winter sang this song, when they silenced the prattl-ish cries, Of distant foes who came to play, the Snowman's teams to sure demise!   "Fight, fight and rah, rah," they said, staring adversary and foe in the eye, "Surrender now lest snow bleed red, under endless night and ozoneless sky."
