Fulltext: pines Free Press; while Teddy was once a correspondent of the Manila Bulletin. From SISOY RUIZ, we got this interesting news: ELISEO PIEDAD, a BSE grad, is with the Assesor's office, this city. Am I right in hint ing at a decrease of assessment problems for Carolinians? Another alumnus who jettisoned his BSE sheepskin in favor of an office job is LINDY ORNOPIA. He's with the CEPOC in Tina-an, Cebu. Engr. TEODORO RUIZ is with the D.E.'s office as highway engineer. A hard-hitting and diligent Engineer, he is well-loved by his men. Speak ing of Engineers, we were able to track down an independent-minded Engineer from Bohol. He has sev eral constructions all over the Visayas and Mindanao. An ex-Army man, he knows how to handle men of different category which is pro bably one of the assets of his suc cess. His handle: Engr. JESUS D. ESCOBAL, a civil engineer. Hanging around is sometimes profitable, especially if it is done in the Library. It is not only a knowledge but is also a source of well-being. So that RESTITUTO BACALSO had very valid reasons when he turned down a teaching position in Mindanao and signed * A-LU-M-NO-TE-SCONGRATULATIONS For the past seven years, we’ve been keeping tab on the success of alumni who left USC’s portals to face a happy, waiting world. These fortunate indi viduals succeeded because of three things they are armed with, namely: courage, patience and perseverance. If you want names, they are: DR. TITA VELAYO, DR. FLOR BORROMEO and DR. LOURDES OMOLON, who hurdled the May exam for Medical practitioners. They were active in USC during their Pre-Med days. Tita and Flor are now working in the Southern Islands Hospital while Dr. Omolon is with the San Nicolas Hospital Staff. Cheerio! Congratulations are also in line for Miss AURORA B. LABITAN and Mr. PRUDENCIO CAMPOS for having successfully hurdled the board exam for Chemists. Both were signed up as laboratory instructors in Chemistry. CONDOLENCE The Carolinian staff requests all Carolinians to say a word of prayer for our alumni who passed away recently. They are MRS. NECISIA POQUITA, who met instantaneous death in a highway accident on her trip to Cotabato; the late MISS ROSARIO TAJODA, who finished her Pre-Nursing course in USC three years ago and MR. PLARIDEL ESTORCO a former law student. MAY THEIR SOULS REST IN PEACE! up for a stint in the Cebu City Pu blic Library where he works as one of the assistant librarians. With him in the same boat is NENITA COLINA. Another active Carolinian who loves library work is Mrs. RICARDA SANCHEZ, incharge of our Girls' High School Library. Jolly and convivial, she is the girl stu dents' favorite Ma'am . . . RUFO RUSIANA is with the fa culty staff of the Girls' High. In telligent and energetic, Mr. Rusiana's first love is teaching. And he's happily at it! Last item comes from lovable and congenial VIRGINIA APARTE. She gave us quite a lift by telling us the whereabouts of some Carolinians. She reports that her friends are happily employed in different firms in the city. They are TRANQUILINO ODEVILAS who works with the Cebu Cartage; BOB ABAO, DAHLIA CADELL, DICK APARTE and MAR COS ESCOBER who are with the International Harvester. LYDIA ANGCOG is with the del Rosario Bros., and FLOR DALOCANOG aside from being the secretary of Fr. Rector, is also handling some subjects in the Commerce Depart ment. Congrats, Flor . . . Credit also goes to TERET ARANAS without whose assistance this column would have had less personalities. 3s> | The JPIA and USC’s Commerce Department • by CLOMEN M. VERALLO | The jpa means the Junior Phili ippine Institute of Accountants. It | was a pet project of Miss A. Rodil, : (herself a member of the Philippine i Institute of Accountants, Cebu Chap ter,) long conceived, and now formed into a breathing reality. It is formed to make accounting students more conscious of their academic responsibilities and to help bring down the high mortality among the aspirants to the sublime profession of Certified Public Ac countancy. It is formed to act as a guiding hand in terms of lectures given now and then, pamphlets containing new tax re gulations affecting accountancy in general, books of the latest edition to compete with the library of the examiner. The school library has an extenI sive collection of rare books. It i contains numerous books on Law, | Engineering, Philosophy, Literature, l etc., of the latest editions; but, it is : lamentable to say that, as regards ' Accounting, what it has are only ; a few antiquated editions. Maybe this is primarily because, according to the recent census conducted by library personnel, the Commerce department, which supposedly has the highest number of enrolment, I has the latest number of students who enter the library. The Junior j PIA enters here. The club proposes to petition the administration to conI sider the idea of buying more books I of the latest editions to help the needy Accounting students, espe cially the C.P.A. reviewees, in their review. The Accounting Majors have va rious qualms as regards the actual practice of Accounting. They are meeting more theory than practice j in school life. Unlike Pharmacy which requires actual apprentice ship, or Engineering for that matter, which gives students the opportunity to tinker with machines and motors, Accounting offers no more than theories to students. There are of course a handful of exceptions. The (Continued on page d!>) 1’age 34 THE CAROLINIAN lot ol enthusiasm and brawns. The difference here is that while the brain has to sit down and smoke in some cool shade, the determined enthusiastic individual drums up his breast with pontifical gestures to make his instructions sensible to his dunderheads even though he knows next to nothing about what he's saying. Talks are around that some instructors just mumble a lot of gibberish memorized from cook books to make it appear that they are talking sense. Of course these cadets may be prejudiced. THE RE-ORGANIZATION The back-to-school sojourn of the more eager beavers was not easy. Just after writing down their inten tion to join the amateur army, some lame officers began shoving them about, taking their liberties from them by transferring them to some other units. But that's what they call re-organization. Just to have something more palatable than sword drills. THE WHITE SKIRTS The pulchritudinal section of the long toms are getting easy rest this year, with the tactical inspection as the only sitting operation they have to undergo. The boys expect the ladies to be present with them in their hours of trial. The whitebereted ladies of the corps will again present some cheerful sight to the public when they take to the inspection stand during the tactical period. SEASON'S SPIRIT The idea that this Christmas feel ing should be with us throughout the year is the best that can be suggested through this brief. For give and forget mistakes, shake and smile and rattle your teeth privately at your own shadows. Guys who have encountered fisticuffs during training days should hope that when things go wrong, some cool head with a big heart will be there to ease the tempers up. . JANUARY, 1957 Cdt. Major Gavino Palacio SHOOT AND SHOUT Cdt. Major Cesar Lumapas (Continued from p«f/c JG) All is gone now. The sporting public has conceded the fact that ours is a team to beat, to bet on, and above all a superlative combination of men. I had the chance of seeing three most valuable players grow up with the team. If there were any nomination for the three hottest players this se mester, undoubtedly the names of "Republican Max" Pizarras, "Hercules" Balodoy Borromeo and Doring "Shorty" Canizares would be high on my list. Their contribution to the game cannot be rated by what the scorebook shows. Their court abilities contributed much to the success of this team. Counting out names in all fairness, last year’s men did themselves better this year. There is Rogado, Deen, Reynes, and Galdo; but in my notes, the first three War riors named achieved a near perfect harmony with the rest of the team. With this goes a whispered gratitude to Dame Luck for giving us the Crown. There is Manila yet for the boys to conquer. But counting everything else, win or lose, the team will uphold its traditional emblem: WARRIORS. And there is a bit of promise that this crown with us will be boarding our frat house for a long ... long time. Cdt. 1st Lt. Emiliano Macapaz, Jr. THE JPIA AND USC’s ... (Continued from page Ji) Junior PIA proposes to have a Placement and Apprenticeship Bu reau wherein deserving students will have an opportunity (with fa vorable reference from the Junior PIA) to apply their classroom know how. In a recent election, Miss A. Rodil set aside the traditional quietude of Commerce Department elections when she kindled the minds ol some politically-conscious Accounting Majors to put up a fight between the Seniors and the Juniors. Surprisingly enough, more than was expected did answer. The balloting for no minations ensued and the first three highest voted for nominations of the respective offices were considered as official candidates. This was conducted by the Committee on (Continued on page 17) Page 39 * * THE ‘■'TZarcido \Bacur’d NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION (Continued I'roin /»(»/<• /•>) Oh, well, I guess I must revise My tricks and have to play them wise I'll start with my new resolutions To boost my romantic petitions From now on I'll not go to dances At co-eds I will not take chances No matter how I think it's right I'll never go out late at night To Helynn, I'll be most respectful And to Tibur I'll be a sport If by chance I'll be Helynn's escort Compared to me Rainier'd be awful I'll steep myself in taste and culture To tell a turkey from a vulture I will now bone up on my Law So my diction will have no flaw What's more, I will never touch wine Even if my friends say it's fine I will not. . . no!

THE JPIA AND USC’s COMMERCE DEPARTMENT Elections headed by Mr. Ben. Borromeo. Accounting professor whc saw to it that there was no fraud and that all ballots were meticu lously accounted for. The nominees were given 25 minutes for nomina tion speeches. Unfortunately, the less famous were not able to speak because of the time limit. Only the presidential candidates were able to speak their hearts out, the others having only what we call "personal appearances". When the pre-election campaigns were getting to be hotter and hotter, the head of the Accounting depart ment, Miss A. Rodil, invited all the nominees to a luncheon at the Ave nue Restaurant and to get into an agreement that no matter what the issues, no personalities must be involved. All the nominees were introduced to each other. Between Wednesday, October 24, to Friday at 8:30 p.m. of Oct. 26, all ballets were cast by all students having passed or were still taking Accounting 5. By Saturday, at exactly 2:30 p.m., the ballots were canvassed. Each party had two representatives with the member ci the Committee on Election reading the return. A close fight was shown by the three presidential candidates, one of whom was a woman. Be cause of the plurality of the Juniors and because they were supporting a single party, they won an over whelming victory over the Seniors. The officers elected are: President................. Joaquin Ledesma Vice-President, Internal Affairs ................... Rosa Quijano Vice-President, External Affairs ........... Bartolome Pozon Secretary ............................... Lux Yee Treasurer ................... Natividad llao Auditor ........... Daniel Dalocanog, Jr. PRO ................... Benedlcto Alcantara The committees formed were: 1.
