- ♦ Ssciefy • PAUL EVANGELISTA That was close! Just when there was nothing more to do, no more place to go to, no more new face to meet, and ennui was increasingly dampening the gusto, school opened. Ah-h! Here’s where we know no boredom. A new schoolyear and a count less number of new things to do. Upon crossing the lobby of the univer sity, ... guess what caught my eye. Seated at a table straight ahead were Grand Akan Rudolfo Salcedo and Deputy Grand Akan Henrio Chan of the Alpha Fraternity who selflessly assisted new students apply for scholarship. Meanwhile, Grand Chancellor Frank Legaspi, Manager of the Coffers Norberto Cuizon and Iloman Sy, to mention a few, of the Alpha Sigma Fraternity extended guiding hands to students who were unfamiliar to our system of en rollment. Why, oh, why didn’t anybody think of it three years ago when we, the freshmen then, were left to ourselves to grope about the campus? .... what is college life like? The fresh high school graduate is ‘all eyes and ears’ — trying to get the fell of the university. VIVIEN ALIX Nonoy Chiongbian seems to like it here. Why not, when such pals as Rene Fuentes, Ben Santa Ana, William Gon zales and Mario Soon make up for what ever he misses in the good, old high school days. Likewise, Dolly Lozada, an ai resting freshman, appears to have adapted too soon. School. Alas, there are those who aren’t glad dened by the idea. Vacation went by blissfully. And sad to say that school is a struggle against the memory of every relished minute of the vacation. How would the holiday have turned out for the affable twosome Paul Evan gelista and Tony Lozada, if they hadn’t been to Ba-is? Boy, that was some adventure. Naturally, Rene Garcia was only too willing to have them in his hometown; huh, Ren? Bz-z bz-z.. .oh! So the genteel, young Miss is the new English teacher, Miss Thelma Enace. Welcome to USC, Ma’am. Welcome! Amidst us is a transitory resident of Cebu, Ann Rosegrant. She is taking some courses concerning the Philippines and she hopes to speak the Cebuano dialect fairly well before she, together with her family, leaves the country sometime in June next year. "I like to paint, play the piano, read, write (stories, poems, etc.), play tennis, swim, and I am greatly interested in the theater,” Ann says of herself. ANN ROSEGRANT Shuttling back and forth through the corridors, to and from the classroom is a vivacious dynamo who goes by the name of Lillian Cui. In the wake of her re-entry to this side of the world, Linda Kalayaan Faigao finds reflections of happenings she had witnessed and had been a part of for many months in a foreign land. The work is done. She has shown the people of the United States of America what the ‘Pandanggo Sa Ilaw’ and the ‘Tinikling’ are, among other things, which she assiduously endeavored to learn, so she could fulfill what was expected of her as an Ambassadress of goodwill. I bet she did just fine. Elizabeth Hermosisima has finally touched ground. Ebette is back from a whole semester of island-hopping.'*Bohol, Zamboanga, Misamis; she did some re search for the University of Hawaii Philippines Project. Said she, "That way, I came to know my country by seeing it.” Thus, we have a whole year ahead of us, with so much to accomplish, and time’s awasting... ... gramercy!
