Manza * * * CAMPUS ELECTIONS One of the most surprising (to some at least) elections in the history of the Student Body Organization took place shortly after the second semester began. As usual there were two rival parties that put up their best nominees after deliberate caucuses and political wranglings. The Goodwill Party had Ben Almonte for its standard bearer. The other party, this time called the Diptercocarp Party, made Frank Siruno the presidential nominee. Election Day came GRADUATION ISSUE--March, 1953 NOTES • to a close without any mish~p, the ballot box was opened and the votes were tallied promptly after five p.m. Results-Frank Siruno and all except one of the candidates under his ticket won by overwhelming landslides that buried the stunned Goodwill aspirants. Why the popular Goodwill Party lost the elections cculd not be explained, just like Makiling's temperamental moods. One freshman, brighter than the rest of us, offered this reason: (censored.) Ket.

Prof. Jose B. Blando is the ad~iser-B. Agaloos. * * * NEW TWIST IN FORESTRY CAMPUS ATHLETICS Last November 23 the campus populace witnessed the championship ·basketball game between the dormitory boys and the non-dorm boarders. At the outset the "non-dorms" seemed to be strong; in fact they led in the first half of the game. But the accurate shoot~ng of G. Batoon, the fine guarding of V. Ladero and the alertness of M. Battad on the rebound pushed the Dormitory boys to victory. An idea was first conceived by Botany professor Dr. A. Manza to conduct a series of games, a sort of inter-section cage tournament. This idea w:as carried out with the help of Mr. R. Cortes. Games were played between the four dormitories as group A and between four units of residents of the Rubber Plantation and other sections of the campus as group B. Dr. Manza, Mr. Cortez and several other instructors were present at the opening game. Miss H. Jundos (English instructor) tossed the first ball. In the first group the formidable "Fight-on" of dormitory 2 made a clean sweep, while the top-seeded "Tornado" team out-pointed all the other teams in the other group. The following formed the high-spirited "Fight- on" team: B. Gutierrez, L. Quimbo, C. Barona, V. Ladero, L. Lomoljo, A. Ganir and R. Noriel. Tli! "Tornado" team was composed of B. Agaloos, J. Malvas, Ji-., A. Bernardo, H. Cuenca, F. Mauricio, T. Halasan and Reyes. The Novembar 23rd game was the culmination of the series of games. It was a clash between ·the "Fight-on" of dormitory 2 with pick-ups from other vanquished dorms a~d the "Tornado" with pick-up& Page 57 from other section teams.· Defense and team-work • -Dona Aurora, birds of paradise, queen of flowering mainly propelled the "Dormitory Cagers." tr~es, jade vi~e, capa-capa, maiden's hair, congeat toThe objective behind the promotion .of .series. of._ mentosa,.araucai:ia,.e.tc. games was not only to intensify the spirit of sport- The visit was ciimaxed by a dance and refreshmanship and to cultivate spirit of cooperation among ment. Prizes were given to the best Tango and the .students, but also to look into the possibility of Waltz dancers. Aside from the Silviculture class spotting potential players for intramural games. This the F AO trainees and students of the upper classe3 idea of Dr. Manza is indeed very laudable and needs were present. the cooperation and support of other faculty members and students of this college. If these games are carried on, there may yet come a day when we shall see the Forestry boys wrestle out the championship pennant from the Aggles.-T. MONTOJO * * * N G H MEMORIAL TREE PLANTING On October 4, 1952, Junior Nurse students and their respective professors and instructors from North General Hospital, Manila, visited the Makiling National Park, Co1iege ~f Forestry, College, Laguna, on a traditional memorial tree planting and field trip. The student tour took them to the Nurse's Grove where they did the planting assisted by the Silviculture I class under Professor· Teodoro Delizo and Assistant Instructor Domingo Jacalne. Before the planting, the Nurses were addressed by Professor T. Delizo and Asst. Instructor Jacalne. Forester H1polito Marcelo of the Division of Forest Investigation, m behalf of Forester Felix Franco, Chief of the Division of Forest Investigation and concurrently Superintendent of the Makiling National Park, delivered the welcome address. He said that there is parallelism in the life work of a forester and that of a nurse. The forester tends the forest trees while the nurse takes care of the sick. · And that they have a common ground and that is the "nursery"-a nursery ~pr seedlings and a nursery for babies. He then enjoined that both should work hand in hand to contribute to the progress of the country. He remarked that a lesson is imparted by the planting of trees, for as the tree when planted should be cared for, cultivated and watered, so is our life's work when begun should be attended with care· and efficiency. In a romantic vein he gave a fitting tribute to the nurse. After the short instruction of tree planting by Prof. Delizo, the nurses proceeded to the Nurses Grove where various species of trees were planted. Mahogany (Sweitenia mahogany); Narra (Pterocarpus indicus); Molave ( Vitex parviflora; Teak ( Tectona grandis); lpil (lntsia ,bijuda),; Dao (Dracontomelom dao); Banuyo (Wallaceodendron cellibicum); Amugis (Koordersiodendron pinnatum): .Betis (Madhuca betis); Talisai (Terminalia catappa); llang-ilang ( Cananga odoratum) and other species. The nurses also . enjoyed the beauty· of ornamental plant~ found in the nursery among wh!<:h are_: Page 58 T. MONTOJO * * * CONVOCATION IN HONOR OF FAO TRAINEES To give the foreign students a taste of Filipino friendliness and fun, the College of Forestry put up a program on October 19, 1952 in honor and for the entertainment of the representatives of the Far Eastern Countries to the F AO-sponsored Mechanical Logging Training center in the Philippines. Although the progr~m was sponsored by the College of Forestry, the numbers were mostly contributed by the Physical Education Department, UP, Diliman. The internationally famous native dance "Tinikling" was shown to the admiring foreigners, in addition to the musical numbers. Governor Chipeco of Laguna province sent his greetings to the Trainees through Dean Florencio Ta~ mesis. · ·The highiight of the program, however, was the speech by Dr. Enrique Virata, acting President of the UP, in which was stressed the importance of the p1:omotion. of the union among the various countries in the Fer East-N.T.V. * * * CONVOCATION ON HUMAN RIGHTS DAY On December 10, 1952, the faculty members and students of the College of Forestry gave away one of their class . hours starting from 1: 00 p.m. to o~ serve Human Rights Day. Unlike usual convocations, this one was short and simple, almost improptu. It merely consisted of the reading by Mr. Cesar Recto of the Human Rights Bill as promulgated by th411 United · N 3tiohs, ' followed by a heart-touching oration by Mr. Julian Meimban, an enlightening talk by Mr. Benjamin Almonte, and a short open forum,. Lack of time prevented the Secretary from letting each .student give his personal views about the. Hu~ man Rights.-N.T.V. * * * FORESTRY DAY CELEBRATION GAMES Elitterlycfought games featured the first day- of competitions cf the 1952 forestry day inter unit bas_ketball championship held last December 5, & 6, 1952 at the College of Forestry basketball grounds.

The Rubber Stars desperately tried· to pull their team out of fire with their 8 point· barrage in the closing encounter of the third stanza, bl,Jt · -the Do.r• mitorians added 4 more points for a fin3l cou?!t of 14-16. The Dormitorians were never a daring · brilliant team than on the fourth period. They never relinquished the whip on their opponent but the Rubber dunkers refused to sink the ball pruning their plays on lightning breakthroughs which however failed to swish the cords. The game ended with a 18-24 the Dorm men won by a margin of 6 points. In the afternoon of December s; 1952, in the clash between Unit II under B. Agalcios and Unit IV. under B.

With recent reports appearing FORESTRY LEAVES in the metropolitan newspapers about the forthcoming establishment of a forest products laboratory here in Los Banos under the MSA aid, campus residents and forestry students particularly look upon their visit as something that shows promise. Of interest to forestry students is the proposed project o"f rehabilitating the college building physically as well as the improvement of its teaching force supplemented by additional help in the form of more equipement and facilities which the college is in dire need of. Foresters Bedard and Gooch who are of the MSA group concerned with forestry discussed these points with Dean Tamesis as they went around the campus observing things that needed impdovement. • * * * PARAISO REFORESTATION PROJECT DONATES PlS0.00 TO THE FORESTRY LEAVES As a token of their appreciation and gratitude for having been granted the benefits of the mini.mum wages law, all laborers and employees of the Paraiso Reforestation Project of Laoag, Ilocos Norte under Provincial Forester Jose Maki.I, donated the amount of PlS0.00 to the Forestry Leaves.

JUSTICE OFFICIALS VISIT ARA YAT REF PROJECTS Secretary of Justice Oscar Castelo visited the Arayat Reforestation Project in Arayat, Pampanga on December 13, 1952. He was accompanied by his staff composed of Undersecretary Roberto Gianzon, Judges Jose zu~ lueta and Feliciano Ocampo, Fiscal Balbino Figueroa and Provincial Governor Rafael Laza tin. Secretary Castelo and his party were shown around the nursery campus and surrounding plantations by Officer-in-Charge Emilio A. Soriano who enumerated the objectives upon which the reforestation project and the national park have been established and the results so far achieved. Soriano said one of the visitors jokingly remarked that the park was being planted as a possible hideout of the Huks and other dissidents to which the Project's Officer-inCharge answered back in the same mood that there were more Huks and other dissidents caught in towns and cities including Manila. This evinced laughter from among the visitors. The justice secretary planted a narra tree; Governor Lazatin, a banaba tree; and undersecretary Gianzon, a mahogany tree. According to Soriano, the party was impressed by the cooling effect given by the shady grove of trees and the way cogonal areas are being planted along the national highway.-SPF FORESTRY I.EAVES
