Now we are free, uncowed by no tyrant's lash, unbowed by no tyrant's whip, by no tyrant's dungeon. But this freedom which we now enjoy has been dearly bought. Staggeringly great has been its price-great in blood, great in tears: the blood of our heroes, the tears of our martyrs. Unhesitatingly, they shed their blood and tears on the scaffold. Unquestioningly, they shed their blood and tears on the field of battle. Uncom.plainingly, they gave their lives without any thought of personal prolit und glory-they g·ave their lives that other lives might live. Great were their labours and sacrifices. Indescribable were their sufferings. Untold were their miseries. Tiresome and troubled was their journey. And now they rest in the unaging mausoleum of time. Some unhonoured and unremembered. For some no paean, no praise. For some no comforting word, no reassuring whisper. Unto some no flower. Unto some no tear. For human memory is sadly short. For man, lost in bacchanalian pursuits, easily and quickly forgets his debt to the dead. The fallen and the departed asked not to be rememberedto be honoured. But we owe it to ourselves-we, the living,to remember and honour them-to pay them tribute no matter how humble and simple. And what more fitting and proper tribute can we bestow than the consciousness of our obligation to them-than the consciousness of a task, the task Of carrying on, with equal fire and fenor, what they nobly, heroically, unselfishly began? That is o•·,. ohligation-that is our task to which we are committed to (~ ,-1i£:·:1te our lives and our fortune. C!CE!W C.

The appointment of the following committee on student organizations is 1·,ereby made of record: Mrs. Enriqueta R.

(Continued on page 25) November, 1947 MUffHON ANO ENfEREORHY By ROMA!\ R. VILLAL01', JR. M AN is an egoistic animal, said one famous writer. And it is this ego which is the basic force in most ambitions. Webster says: "Ambition is a seeking; for preferment; and a consuming desire to achieve some purpose, as to gain distinction, etc." This definition presuppo~es that ego is an essence of of ambition; that ambition is centered around a personal self-seeking and a desire for personal esteept and selfrecog-nition. In fact, this ego is the crux of the problem in the proper adjustment for life. It is essential for us to realize that the environment, the effects, and the problems that ambition produces in us are definite and far-reaching. Let us inYestigate the attitudes and the reactions of a student when he approaches his ambition, and how success and failure affect him. F mm our findings, we can haYe a thorough understanding of the vital problems arising from ambition, and of the effects that "strivings" have on the pro,per life adjustments :of a student. The old school of psychological thought, based on the concept of compensation, believed that man was born with some inferiority of physical and of mental nature, and that life was spent in trying to compensate for this infe:!.·iority. The nature of this compensation waE considered to be the basis for a type of personality. In fact, one cannot take lightly the effect of these inferiorities on a man's ambition and on his personality. At present, however, a different emphasis is put on the concept of compenArellano Standard 3 sation; it is now thought of as the "unconscious" recompense for one's deficiency in his life. We can see the distinction between the former concept and the latter-in the former, compensation is a conscious activity; in the latter, it resolves itself down to the ,problem of attitudes, both conscious and unconscious. Compensation, therefore, is the inherent, deep-seated, positive, and selfmaintaining drive which originates, consciously or unconsciously, from one's desires to correct or to make up for his inferiority. Let us take some commonly understood examples of compensation. The "social snob", who disdains the company of less fortunate people and who raises his eyebrow at the awkwardness and inadequacy of others, is a maladjusted individual. Fundamentally such a person feels inferior and deficient in his reflection of himself. He believes that he is full of incompetency; and therefore, he must feel superior and must act important. A sophisticated coed, who forgets that ethics is not arrogance, and who believes that she is a mental eagle and others are snails, is another maladjusted person-a hapless victim of compensatory drives. She feels and thinks that she belongs to the mental celebrity and expects others to pay her homages. She resents disa,pprovals and criticisms; she is peeved at others tryi11g to emulate her. Veneer and artificial polish substituted for character gives a blinding luster that she merely glows in her own conceited reflections, without fully appreciating what type of fiber she is hiding. Sophistication is a (Continued on page 6) November, 1947 Tlie Elcdions: A REAPPRAISAL By F. R. Amante Essentially, democratic governments are founded on the proposition that sovereignty resides in the people or that the power of temporarily governing is granted by the electorate to a group of officials, loosely i·efened to as the administration but more distinctively, as the rank and file of a single political party, and that once that power of governing is given and the officials accept iti the electorate or the peop.le run the risk of the character of the administration. That it is so is for the reason that democracy as part of our institutional heritage from the \Yest has two great pillars of public official control: one, the periodical elections and the other, the vigilant and tireless scrutiny by the people or electorate, public opinion. Assuming this proposition, we may thence conclude that the elections are rightly an historical established and effective control of public officer in all representative governments. Yet the electoral process of choosing· public officers is not, as some might lightly take it, a meaningless formality in which candidates previous} y nominated by one party, whether of the majority or the minority, have by all means to vet the vote '4certification" of the people, as competent to serve as senator, congressman or as municipal officers under the discriminating banner of party stigma. Neither is it a situation, much less a pressing case, which warrants a sophisticated display of a kind of unusual gastronomic resiliency. On the contrary, the given function of the elections whether national or local is to occasionally and indifferently shear the party in poArellano Standard 4 wer of their predatory pratices by the periodic domestication in a blunt repudiation at the polls. Even more, the constant danger in the people not having immediate accessible formal weapons against government importunity, dishonesty and corruption is aptly squared by the timely sterilization of the misfeasant and malfesant government officialry through the wise use of the ballot. Certainly, the day before the election -November 11-is the auspicious time to reformulate, to shake off the outmoded voting perspective of many, so spuriously colored to suit the ridiculous perpetuation of certain men in power. In a government like ours founded upon the principle of personal liberty and based on the proposition that everyone's opinion counts, the apparent inordinate bl'each by the public servants of the people's trust is mainly due to such rugged, conservative and blind "mass voting" whose fearful product is fascistic rule which naturally thrives well only whe~·e men are weak in minds and of schizophrenic convictions. So before exercising your prerogative <'-F tl~e ballot, do ask yourself this question: "Can I make the government ulive to the problems of today and representative of the real interests of the people .by perpetuating a single party in power, or shall I, once and for all, concede a much needed realignment of the political parties in our system of government such that in the leveringof their mutual powers there will ine-vitably result a reinvigorated and efficient two party government? November, 1947 The Importance Of Strong Determination In Any Human [ndcavor By Lilia .C. Mendoza IN ANY field of human endeavor it is vitally important that there be determination to carry on despite the odds tmd obstacles in order to achieve one's purpose, aims and ideals. A continuous and unflinching struggle is a watchword in the effort to succeed. Fighting vigor0us]y the evils that loom over destiny, never allowing for even a single moment to let them take root in the mind to hamper future action, one seeks to the best advantage not only for himself but for his fellowmen the plausible means with which to carry on and accomplish a desired sphere of activity. This constant fight for survival, this cyclic determination to push through no matter what, so long as the means with which the end is achieved are lofty and kind need a strong moral and .spiritual fiber ingrained and indoctrinated from youth. One is known for this, his success is gauged by the means with which his thoughts are translated into action. More than thi~. the results must bear upon the greatest good of the most number. Do you think, for example, Georgt: YV ashington would be hailed as the sa,:iour and father of his country had ht not starved and shivered together with his army at Valley Forge and routed the British redcoats? Indeed, he would be less renowned. But for the fact that these were destined to be part of his life and parcel of American history altogether made for V\7 ashington a niche in the hearts and memory of his people Arellano Standard whom he fought for and loved dearly as much they did him. Take our own Jose Rizal for another example. His name now stands for liberty because he fought and gloriously died for this. Had not the "guardia civiles" shot him on that historic day of December 30 in the murky field of Bagumbayan, would Rizal be what he stands for now? As a pacifist who dared expose the evils of his own countrymen to wake them up and was killed in so doing, Rizal now stands as a shining ex:::mple worthy of emulation. We can recite an endless list of people who by dint of their ceaseless effort and .struggle towards doing the maximum good for the maximum number of people are immortalized and whose names are household figures, whose lives are written in the pages of history. For everything here on earth is transient and easily forgotten. Nu·merous events happen and are just quickly forgotten as soon as they have happened. So that in all and every respect, a far worthy purpose, whose results redound to the benefit of the many, whose effects are far-reaching and unforgettable will bring the thinker and the doer good, not only for himself but for those whom he worked for so valiantly and gloriously. Existence itself is passive ·so that while we are here on earth in our brief sojourn let us by all means prove our.selves worthy of existence. Let us live, live in a way of life that shall be a credit and not a Jiability. November, 1947 IN MEMORIAM JOSE CAPULONG, young sophomore of the College of Law, died on lhe 12th of October 1947. That which is corporeal is ephemeral. But that which is incorporeal is eternal. So, though Joe's flesh has assumed the anonymity of earth, his name will forever sit on the lips of his friends-will forever be enshrined in their hearts. Their loss, we believe, is heaven's gain. The circumstances surrounding Joe's death are vague. He left his home to attend the military drill that morning of October 12th. Right after the drill, he borrowed a friend's book so that he might review by Manila Bay. Nobody witnessed his going to the water. One might even say that he was wooed by the calling of the waves. Hie book, his clothes and his shoes were the only witArellano Standard 6 Ambition And • . •• (Continued from page 3) manifestation of conceit; in fact, sophistory is plain vanity, and vanity is an acceptance of one's inferiority; basically, therefore, sophistry is nothing but a thin varnish. What. a cheap veneer? What an unreal varnish! The short person often becomes noisy, aggressive, and intrusive. He struts and dresses with a flare. Often this obtrusive and assertive tendencies are attributable to his attempts to overcome his feelings of smallness and physical insignificance. This attitude is personal, and it is not necessarily the attitude of others towards him, for man is much more sensitive about his defects than the defects usually warrant. He is so self-conscious about his deficiency that he follows the path of conspicuousness. As a matter of fact, many great activities and attitudes are often the manifestations of COll\pensatory drives arising out of inherent insecurity and in· significance, so that often we do not tolerate failure and are not satisfied with anything short of perfection. Failure to get 100 percent in a test repre· sents something personal and repug· nant. Consequently grades of l's or A's and public approvals are coveted, because these are the only things that (Continued on page 56) nesses to the fact of his going to the sea. His body was recovered after diligent searching by the police. There was no evider.ce or foul play and besides, Joe's nature would not call for that. He was brought to the Funeraria Nacional where several of his classmates and friends saw his remains. We writie this, with this prayer in our hearts: May he rest in peace. November, 1947 A BIG SHOT By Victoriano Mel. Santos It does not pay to be a big shot - always. Unless, of course, you are too big for the net of the Jaw to hold. In which case it always pays. For from the day you set your foot on the cubby · hole they call your office, you'll find yourself wriggling in an intolerably veritable hell. You will find yourself beset with inumerable problems and headaches ranging from the political to plain office bickerings and intramural disputes. If you are that type who would want to boss everybody around, after a w~ek's penitence in your office, you'll find yourself courting the disfavor and grudges of your employees who are unfortunately, like you, political proteges in themselves. And before you are fully aware of it, the Big Boss is reprimanding you for improper conduct in office and lecturing you on the tactful handling of men for the interest of the p ..... , especially if an election is fast approaching. Chances are, ~fter this thrashing, if there's in you a bit of amor propio and decency, you'll be tendering your resignation, and fast. It won't take you Jong to realize that Thomas Moor~'s Utopia is really a far, far away dream. To get a good picture of a big shot, let us see him from the moment he gets wind of his appointment. More often than not the first ones to get the news of his a,ppointment are not you, nor your wife. No, sir. It's your henchmen, those Joyal followers who swear to high heavens they are willing to die in your defense. These people have such a way of producil}g their ugly heads into the inner sanctum of the official hierarchy, and even months before you know you Arellano Standard 7 are being slated for a position, they ha.ve been constantly contracting you - exploring the bright possibilities of effecting the closest connection with you. Your worries start right when they tender a big dance and reception in your honor the day your appointment is announced. Right at the party you wilJ be confronted with so many recommendations for the most suitable positions. You can not afford to get mad on that occasion, no, sir. That party is in yeur honor and those suckers are not spending their dough for nothing. During your first \Veek in office, your first concern is to see the roster of personnel under you. You'll find out that there are people in your office who do not belong to the party in power to which you naturally belong. And so remembering the implicit wishes of someone in the higher ups that you are expected to strenghten the party by all means, you decide to lay off those employees, whom you have begun to look on as mere "nuisances". To your surprise, however, you'll find out that it's not as easy as that to lay off people, "nuisances" they may be to you. There are rules and regulations, as for instance civil service rules, which even a big shot like you can not contravene. And so you find yourself 'between the devil and the deep blue sea - that is the Big Boss on one hand and the "nuisance" on the other. You think of some means. You may even request for the seasoned advices of predecessors. Yes, by this time you are willing to undertake everything to save your dirty conscience. From your most intimate confidant you get the sugges( Continued on page 56) November, 1947 By Cayetano Santuico In the Republic of Commerce, the country where they train men to be financiers, accountants, bankers and business men, the war clouds gathered. It started due to a simple democratic process commonly know as an election. There must be only one head to rule the country utless the country be divided into two. The Republic of Commerce having two potential leaders naturally would vie for the leadership of the country. Hence, this "incident". llr. Ben Sarile through sheer power of his electrifying personality or other unknown methods, won a peaceful election with an overwhelming majority last 1946, and thereby became automatically the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Commander Sarile mo· bilized all the forces under his command, financial and mental, to insure the welfare of his people and himself. He made a good job out of it; that he did not only do that but made the outstanding feat of having his favorite beauty candidate elected as Queen. ~ot to be outdone, Paquito Tankiang with his aide-de-camp Hermie Rodis established a revolutionary government. Military preparations went in full swing. President and Commander of the Army Ben Sarile denounced the facistic action of the Revolutionary Forces headed by General Tankiang. Commander Sarile rallied his loyal subjects to the cause. His cause. With a prepared and tested time-table schedule, Sarile's Union Armies opened up the attack by giving a Commerce Ball to end all Balls. I Continued on page 10) Arellano Standard 8 THE TEAC By MARITA PUREZA J. YANGO If ever there is a group of government employees to whom the government has been i n d i f f e r e n t , they are the poor classroom teachers. For years these over-worked public servants have been constantly battling against this marked indifference and apathy. While there have been attempts to improve the conditions of other employees, little is being done by way of improving the conditions of the teachers. There never had actually be~n a spirited move towards adjusting their salaries as to come up to the daily requirements. Before the war, when prices were low, their salaries were much lower - too low as not to permit the meeting of both ends. Or, if ends met, there never was 'enough leftover to tie a bow.' After liberation when prices rose to 582.9% of pre-war rates, teachers' pay increased to barely 35.7% only. Comparing the present pay of teachers with that of binders, composers, cooks, foremen, lithographers, pressmen and ordinary clerks in a printing establishments, and with cooks, bakers, and ordinary clerks in city bakeries, it suffers in comparison. And, if we take into account the efforts in college to earn the necessary educational training and cultural preparation to be a teacher, the government apathy and procrastination becomes more· evident. The teachers' case deserves more than mere passing attention and the heaping of wordly laurels and shallow encomiums upon their achievements. Something tangible and material is necessary. It may be argued that teachers are not in the profession for material reward alone. Yet, it could not be denied that November, 1947 HER'S CASE teachers have lives and families to raise and support up to the right standard of society. They must be paid not with a meager pay plus a commendation aione. Something must be done to raise their station in life at least to a decent level. Otherwise, educational efficiency may degenerate into the level of an undesirable commodity. A teacher may be expected to render efficient service only as long as he is mentally secure and physically ztrong. A worried and sickly scl).ool teacher will never turn out to be a successful mentor no matter how responsible and intelligent he may be. How then can effi· ciency of the highest level in the ~each ing profession be attained? The answer is material inducement coupled with the highest degree of pro· fessional training and sense of responsibility. With the last two factors fully gua· ranteed-at least, as claimed-by our schools and the student himself, it becomes incumbent upon the government to look after the first. It is the responsibility of the government to the people to give teachers a pay as possibly commensurate with their worlc, experience and responsibilities; a pay that is directly proportionate to the present cost of living. A pay that would enable them to maintain an appearance if not of plenty, at least of self-respect and contentment. This must be one uf the fundamental goals of the governmP.11t to insure an educational system that would guarantee to our youth a broad and adequate educational preparation, for it has been indisputably proven that more often the quality of educ.,tion a teacher imparts upon the students is conditioned by his material well-being.

Magellan knew all along that there would be a Hope born one day and that hope would be good. And punny. So, he started naming a coop a cape. That is the legend of the Cape of Good Hope. The CEG meeting was intellectual and slightly gastronomical. The FEU people were the biggest intellects of the lot, They attended the meeting as a joke. They spoke as a joke. They were the jokers of the meeting. They were choking with jokes all the time. Even the moderator was joking with choke,s. The moderator aggravatingly moderated. To say that he moderated aggravatingly is putting it bluntly. There is very little difference between a moderator and an aggravator, anyway. They both end in . ator. There is another word that end8 in ator, and that is dictator. If the moderator's power.s were similar to a dictator's, that is only coincidental. And if what the moderator 8ay_s in the CEG is final, that is constitutional. And if the FEU representatives were choking with jokes, that is natural. Jokers make meetings intellectual. There is too much talk about the dif· ference between a moral person and an immoral one. I will tell you. A moral person is one who knows his onions. An immoral person is one who knows his onions and eats them, too. For in onion there is strength. It is good I will have a vacation on November. November will mean All Saints Day, Elections and National Heroes Day. And whenever I think,• of (Continued on page 10) November, 1947 INCIDENT ALLY (Continued from pa17e 8) General Tankiang seeing his flanks threatened by the sudden onslaught executed a strategic retreat. Having consolidated his forces, General Tankiang opened up a counter-offensive with Col. Hermie Rodis leading his shock troops by giving the Business Men's Frolic right at his HQ on Dewey Boulevard. Further amphibious landings with considerable footholds were negotiated by the Revolutionary Army in the Le Cor. terie Ball. The feminine sex flocked on both sides of the warring factions headed by the Ladies Committees. Neutral military observers dubbed this historical encounter as the Battle of the Bulges. After the Battle of the Bulges, a lull was observed on all fronts. However, President Sarile withdrew mysteriously his candidacy in the 1947 elections in favor of Mr. Justo Ortiz. A propaganda communique released for enemy consumption by Revolutionary HQ termed that "President Justo Ortiz would not have won the presidency without the blessings of Commander Sarile." This communique dubbed indirectly Commander Ben Sarile as a dictator. Following this premise President Ortiz was playing second fiddle to Commander Sarile. However, President Justo Ortiz, denied emphatically this allegation in one of his press conferences. President Ortiz maintained further, that he cou)d win any election in the Republic of Commerce with or without Commander SariJe's onions. Commander of the Army Ben Sarile on the other hand, forsook the politics in his native land and entrenched himself in the international tribunal of the Supreme Student Council. Reliable diplomatic quarters opined that he was responsible for the present set-up of this tribunal Arellano Standard and that he pulled a lot of strings in this locality. General Tankiang with his ever present military aide Col. Rodis., pulled a coup de etat by having President Ortiz elected as Vice-Prexy of the Alpha Upsilon Sigma Phi thereby gaining a strong foothold in the disputff territory. 10 According to the latest reports of our foreign correspondents both sides are at present employing unprintable sweet little nothings behind each others back.

It would be much simpler if All Saints Day be postponed till right after elect-ions and just before National Heroe~~ Day. It is not good to burn a candle before election, there might not be dead ducks. They might go lame only. Final examinations are novelties. There is the big task of securing a permit. Either you have one or you don't have one. If you don't have one, you get one. If you no pay, you ·promise, pay, you get one. If you no pay, you promise, you get one. If you no promise, there is one other way out. Do not take examinations, then, you will not need the permit. Then there was that professor who dared I to print this: The trend in faliihions in England now is, "down with the petticoats and up with the trousers." He says the better way is up with the petticoats and down with trousers. Maybe, I is too daring. Maybe, I is too bold. But I needs no selling. I is sold.

Nine o'clock and the skies above the reviewing grounds seemed to have conspired to put on their best colors for that day's big event: the pass-in-review in honor President Cayco.

Somewhere on Guipit St., the boys fell in with smart, military precision and to the rhythmic beat of drum and blare of bugle, marched into that portion of Guipit St. that is tacitly considered the "property" of Arellano students, into the small, cramped plaza, in the center of which a statue of Bonifacio looked on the proceedings complacently on, past the reviewing stand: (smartly, now: Arellano Standard u he,p-hep, hep-hep).

Very so often we hear of an apparently innocent person experiencing some great misfortune, and there com('s to our lips the qucstion\Vhy? Every story of seemingly unde~e• vf'd heartache cries out for explanation. To those who hnve freshly experienced some disillusionment there is. perhaps, very little appeal in the philosophy so lwautifully expressed by Emerson, that Arellano Standard 15 om real blessings often come to us in tlw shapr of pains, losses and disappointmt·nts." He calls th~se blessings the rewards of suffering, the compensations for l"alamily but makes the res<'tvation that we can only appreciate them afler long intervals of time.

E. M. Brainard ... Tlu·y that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Literature entertains and fa.cinates us in many ways. '\'A/e find great pleasure in dwelling in them, constantly appeasing our hunger for the things we crave in 1his existence. We listen to the sweet refrain of Sappho, the passionate sigh of Bf'n Jonson, we share the laments of Lord Alfred Tennyson at the loss of a friend, \.Ve find the strangeness of creation in Rhodora by W. Emerson, with John Keats ,who expands his desire to flee from the weariness of the world and hints that poetry may be an avenue to escape. There i-. Byron, a disillusioned poet who from his youth traveled to escape from his own unhappiness. In his poem the, "The Ocean", he unfolds a rich panaroma of tht> places he visited on his romantic melancholy pilgrimage. Note the sweeping cloquencr and power of his descriptions of nature. November, 1947 ''There is pleasure in the pathless woods, The rapture on the lonely shore, By the deep se-a., and music in its roar; I love not man the less, but nature moic From all I may be. or have been before, To mingle with the universe, and feel \Vhat I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal." Shelly in his Ode To The West \\'ind >lands aloof from other poets. This bold imagery is intense in its emotion and illustrates his attitude tow~rds nature, As the poet watched the swift onset of the mighty wind. he secs in it a symbol of the freedom denied to mnnl<ind. He felt him~elf wishing that there might be in society some power similar to the wind which \'·ould sweep into being a social revolu1 ion. Throughout the ode the poet uses rhythms that are particularly suited to the sweep of the wind, which is lameless. ~'vift. and porud. "I\1ake me thy lyre, even as the forest is: \\'hat ii my leaves are falling like its own! The tumult of thy mighty harmonies \Viii lake from both a deep, autumnal lone, Swed though in sadness. Be thou. spirit fierce, ~'[y spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one! Drive my dead thoughts over the universe Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth! And, by the incantation of this verse, Ashes and sparks, my words among manlind! Be through my lips to unawakened earth! The trumpet of a prophecy! 0 Wind! If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" This final stanza is a prayer that he Arellano Standard 16 may be as the wind and scatter his thoughts thr~ugh the universe. The ode t.•nds on the triumphant note that beyond the storm and winter announced by the wind lies spring. As the years pass, the friends of the reader of literature form a great company: lhe nonne, the prioresse, Eugenie Grandet, cmd Andromache, and Beatrix Esmond: there are Joseph the dreamer, and Olal T rygvesson, and Hamlet the Dane, and my Bossy-and a host of others. Wordsworth was right, then. when he spoke of hools as a substantial world: ''Round these, with tendrils, strong flesh and blood, Our pastime and our happiness will grow." And when we get into the habit of readirlg fiterBture we explore the pleasant land of bools, where countless pilgrims have gone before. We who enter the land will do well to linger on the way and to investigate for ourselves its beauty, not overlooking the many trails and paths and winding roads that lead from the great highway. The great poets and writers and philosophers will always be with us. They will help us, console us, make us realize the world we live in. For \\.'e are often limes lost in the cruelties of diis world, and they felt those pangs too. They expressed their pains and sufferings in words which come from the innermost portion of their heart. Things in a blade of n grass, we cannot notice. beauty in a starless night, nor in a storm, they help us understand. make us listen lo the refr~in of magic words that their hearts dictate. Literature is a great companion. For truly, one who desires to be furnished with human dreams and aspirations, desires, of love and bittern<'ss, of hate, forgiveness, we must indulge sincerely and devotedly to literature written by men of different races, in different times. NMember, 1947 UIBRARY CORNER ... "AMERICA IS IN THE HEART" By Carlos Bulosan A moving testimony of faith in America is graphically and sincerely told In this biography by the author of "The Laughter of My Father." Far from being like a Horatio Alger hero, Carlos Bulosan's life was one continuous struggle from the time he became conscious of his environment in the barrio of Binalonan in Pangasinan up tO the time of his initial success when his first book of poems was published. The au\hor did not spare himself when he laid his heart bare to the reading public; - - his years that were made up of "days of pain and anguish, of starvation and fear - his hopes, desires, and a1:1pirations!' Man's eternal striving for the realization of his dreams; of the supreme faith in the goodness of other men, of that hallowed spot, - the "little island in the heart" make up the theme (>f this book. Although the sum total of the average man's life is usually made up of annoying defeats and small-successes, yet in Carlos Bulosan's life every little event seems to be magnified, - pe\·haps 'tis because he is sensitive than most, -and this very sensitivity lends a certain force as well as a touch of realism to his book. "THE FOUNTAINHEAD" By Ayn Rand Unusual, challenging, and daring, "The Fountainhead" is the unique story of Howard Roark, architect, - whose supreme ego made him stand alone in a society of men dependent on each other for survival. Because Roark was "sufficient unto himself" he was both :1 chatArellano Standard 17 By Pat Gonzalez lenge and a danger to his contemilOraries, - mediocre architects who built only in the antiquated "tradition of the past", men who lacked vision as well as imagination. The man who understood Roark and consequently wanted to destroy him was Ellsworth Toohey, who, masquerading as a benign humanitarian, was really inherently viciouf.!. Other unforgettable characters who are vivid and important enough to s.hare the spotlight with Howard Roark are Gail Wynand, rich ana influential head of the powerful New York "Banner", and beautiful ~om.inique Franoon whose razor-sharp and double-edged wit made her a formidable columnist and reporter. Both understood and loved Howard Roark. and around these three personalities Ayn Rand has woven a highly dramatic story which once read will not soon be forgotten. "FOUR YEARS IN PARADISE" By Osa Johnson All the splendor and exotism of British East Africa is minutely described in this book of Osa Johnson. Four idyllic years spent in a spor called "Paradise" enabled the Johnsons to capture the glodous scenery, the wild animals, the picturesque tribesmen, - in fad, all the inagnificent creation that llliBke up an unspoiled Nature, - not only in their famous still and motion pictures but also on paper. This engrossing day-b1-day life in the wilderness of Africa, Mrs. Johneon relates in a graphic and vivid manner. Those of us who have a particular liking for "nature in the raw," whose keen zest for living is still undimmed, and whose thirst for printed adventure is still unquenched Rhoulrl certainly read this book. "THE KING'S GENERAL" By Daphne Du Maurier Here's another diverting story from the author l~ "Rebecca" and "Frenchman's Creek." This time she takl""S us to bleak and rugged Cornwall during· the colorful years when war raged between Parliament and the King of England. Inside the ivy-covered walls of a stately house called l\lenabilly; the drama of Honor Harris' life and that Of Richard Grenvme, - the King's General in the \\·est, - unfolded in a series of l1fg·hly exciting· events. Their first meeting, on the night of Honor's eighteenth birthday, marked the beginning of a love ;:iffair which, although ill fated, never dimini~hed in intensity thru more than twenty years. The King's General Sir Richard Grenville, although a brave and loyal soldier, was an arrogant, resentful, and cruel man, - yet he was the only man Honor Harris loved. He in turn. in spite of the fact that Miss Harris "'as crippled, g'ave her his loyalty and fierce adoration. Interspersed with ''hair breadth escapes" and thrilling sequences :\liss Du :\[aurier tells this diverting "tale .of three hundred year~ ago a:-; if it happt'll('d )·esterdhy ." ····>·--e>e-<e--·~··· :----.---- I F L A s H ! ! !

Arellano Sta:ndard l9 November, 1~47 Short StoryTHE BELL in the church tO\\·er nearby tolled twelve. He stared at the low, unpainted ceiling and counted the resonant sounds. It was very hot and stuffy in the room. He couldn't sleep. He had lain tossing. Why isn't she home yet? I hope she comes home earlier tonight. Suddenly, he longed for her inside the stuffy room. The stuffy room that smelt of her: Amanda. Every minute he stayed in the room, he breathed of her and she ·was forever enveloping him. even in his dreams. Breathing of her and wanting her near, he wanted her now. But she was far ... very, very far. perhaps-she could he anyv.·here at this hour.

He kicked it aside and slammed the door .;;ending forth a jarring sound into the night. He got his pants carelessly hanging on the bed and went through its pockets finally finding the hall-crushed package of cigarettes. He pulled one out and tried to straighten it. He groped for the match on the table. He found it with Ont> match stick left. There must he somethinq to stop this smell of her in this stuffy room. He lighted his dgarettP nervously.

She seemed like some angel or some sort and h,, wns pro· bably in heaven.

On thi:; da~· they were ~iven a chance- and thf'y got through with it superbly. Y"'.s· "'ul>f>rb is the The occasion \\."as a parade and review in honor of President Florentino Cayco, who thret: day:-> befon· ('f>l,·brated his Are-llano Standard 26 birthday. It was not the man's birthday cadets were going to honor this time-they would have done it even had his birthday been three months past. It was the man himself that our cadt:ts were honoring-the man who was responsible ... but '"·hy do we have to tell it again? Hours before the precise time came, the campus was already teeming with young cadets, anxiety on their faces, as November, 1947 they eagerly awaited for the chance to show their real worth as soldiers in the making-. One could not help sensing- the tense atmosphere, as cadets and officers ner\·ously rehearsed thefr parts. And sem;;ing it, one could not help but feel it, too. It was beautiful looking at them who 11cw~r before had been so serious as on this day. It was Jike looking at a bar examinef' just a fe\\' minutes before he was to enter an examination room, or a young brother about to make his first speech before a jam-packed public. It µ:a\'C~ you the feeling of suspense-of that undefinable something which sets you scratching an itch you could not localize. And when that examinee, or that brothf'i. makes good, you could Hot help but bi·eathe a deep sigh of relief. That was how we felt this day as we watched our young cadet officers ~md men do it splendidly. We were ~ .. ,·ery bit a man, but this day we could not hol<l back the.. . . . in our eyf's. We couldn't figure out what it waswhether senthnentalism or what-that brought down th4 se t .... ; but we knew we were deeply t ,uched. At the revie,,·ing stand, we could clearly sPe the man we were honoring, and seeing him, as did our cadets, made us proud of ourselves and our institution. There were also Dean Fortunato Gu.pit, Dean Enriqueta Benavides, Dean Josefa V. Lebron, Mrs. Ines V. Pascualf and others who were all part of our institution. Men and women who in one way or another made possible our coming under the roof of an institution that stands for TRUTH and WISDOM. They '\'ere there to share with us the privilege .of ·honoring the man. There were also our sponsors, those beautiful coeds picked from the cream of our campus beauties to provide inspiration and splendor during reviews. They were beautiful and lovely in, their impeccable white silk uniforms that. in' ariablv reminded one of WACS and those brave \VA VES who contributed much towards winning the last war. As we looked at them for the first time in uniform we were convinced they were every inch soldiers in their bearings_. Just before the formal review commenced, these sponsors were awarded diplomas by President Cayco, as Lt. Marcelino Corpuz, adjutant, read their names, making them honorary ROTC cadets. After the formal review, refreshments were served to the guests, follow~ ed by an informal dance. Credit for the entertainment during the da.Dce goes to Dean Enriquita Benavides and her platoon of cadet sponsors. The affair over, we were very glad. Glad, for having witnessed our men prove themselves worthy members ·of '°' ROTC unit any student could be truly proud of. As we have said, after the ceremony we felt like an elder brother after seeing a younger brother successfully deliver his maiden .public speech, which we helped prepare. Credit for the success of the occasion goes naturally to our men, to our cadet officers and plain buck privates. But to Lt. Florencio Domingo ,our commaud.i ant, goes most of the credit for having done everything that he could fo ln!!lire the success of the affair.

Fernandez A convoy of 10 civilian trucks left the Fa1' Eastern University at 0820 hours on the morning of April 7 with their passengers of gleeful jubilant R.0.T.C. cadets from various colleges and universities in Manila and the provinces. Their destination: Camp Alabang. There were only six of us from Arellano: Alfredo Sadili of the College of Law; Rizalino Razon and Hermenegildo Unite, College of Education; Juan Rosendo, Felix Abelardo and your truly, College of Business Administration. One and a half hours later, we arrived at our destination after an uneventful trip and immediately after we "landed", the camp officers lost no time in processing us, issuing us our accoutrements and assigning us our respective tents. The six Arellano .representatives were distributed in 3 companies, namely: Sadili and Unite, Co .. A; Razon and Rosendo, Co. B; Abelardo and myself, Co. C. Unfortunately, not one among us was assigned to Co. D. which had Lt. fidel Llamas, then Arellano University conunandant, as commander; nevertheless, Lt. Llamas, ever solicitous for the welfare of his boys, told us to see him anytime in his tent in case we should need his help. We noticed that the cadets from the Visayan Islands had preceded us in Alabang one week earlier and had already the "feel" of the camp while we from Manila and Luzon had not the slightest idea of what was in store for us. It did not take us long to know for that very noon we· were initiated into what was to be Arellano Standard part and parcel of the 8-week ordeal-our first lunch in camp. It consisted of rice-2/3 messkit of the inferior kindnnd a bite of "Dalagang bukid" in wateT (supposed to be soup). That afternoon 482 picked R.0.T.C. cadets from various colleges and universities all over the Islands-''the cream of the Filipino youth"-to quote Major Manuel T. Flores, superintendent of R.O.T.C. units and concurrently camp commandant, gathered at the spacious camp hangar. Only a few m1nutes before, we wer<· rousingly welcomed amid the rhythmic strains of "Brazil" which was played enthusiastically by the Philippine Army Band under the able baton of Capt. Laureano Carifio, which unit was thereafter to furnish the music in the camp's varied socittl. activities. After the top brasses of the camp were introduced to us we weTe given an orientation talk and an intimation of what we were to undergo for the 8 weeks ahead. Said Major Flores, ''I promise you nothing but har<l work, hard work, and hard work ... " 30 In cadre parlance the term "wife" meant the Garands which wer~· issued to us and which became our daily companion from that day till the last day of our stay in Alabang. I'll say we took very, very good care of our "wives" for to do otherwise meant demerits and, worse of all, no going- out or.. pass. Almost every morning at 5:00 we wen' made to double-time around a wide bloc~ inside the camp. Both officers and cadets underwent this breath-taking routine. The morning exercise <lid u·f1 November,. ]9_,7 good. It built up our stamina and made smaller the waistline of many a potbellied cadet. Calisthenics was followed by breakfast which consisted daily of 5 pan de sals and half a canteen of colored water (they called this coffee) sn that a cadet whose sense of humor must have gotten the better of him, composl'd a song which runs as follows: "Li-limang pan de sal an.2," aming almusal, At 'sang la tang kapeug matabang ... ,. If one knows the melody of the popular tune "Five Minutes More" he will be able to sing this very funny song- which became very popular in camp. Breakfast was usually followed by lectures in the classroom or training· in the open spaces. Among- the many varied military things taught us was how to shoot with the Garand rifle, the carbine, the .4!J caliber pistol, the machine gun, the 60mm and 81-nun mortars, the bazooka as well as how to throw the hand grenade, fight with the ·bayonet and disarm land mines. Marches were constantly held, most often to and from l\1untinlupa were we practiced our tactical exercises. Once we marched fully packed to Tagig ----= a distance of 10 miles - under aheavy down pour. And we hard!~· made it back to camp as we were all fagged out after the· Jong, strenuous hike. Flag- lowering ceremonies were observed at 5 :00 in the afternoon, followed by supper at 6:00. After supper we were free to "roam around" unless otherwise assigned as MP's or interior guards but we had to be back in our tents at taps, which was 10:00 p.m. Failure to be in quarters at bedtime meant an explanation to the powers-that-were and more demerits if the explanation was not satisfactory enough. The cJimate in Alabang 'vas desertArellano Standard like: hot during the day and cold at night. As a consequence, we had to take off our shirts dttring lecture hours and many a cadet could not but feel drowsy and some actually slept in the classroom! One ingenious instructor, discovering this dismal state of affairs, had an assistant who set off firecrackers under the seats of the .sleeping students. Thf! method prnYed its efficacy by kP.eping the whole class awake--in fact, very wide awake. As a retaliation, however. the cadet gave that officer a suitable idckname: "Lt. Firecrackers." Other officer instructors did not escape th<' baptist-mindedness of the boys. One was clubbed Capt. Bazooka because he taught the ba~ooka, another oficer was called Lt. Carbine, another Capt. Garand, and still anoth€J· 11 Spirit of the Bayonet". The officer who taught telephone communication h3.d "Capt. Bahind" as nickname because he pronounced the word Hbehind" as ''bahind". Even Lt. Zosimo Paredes, former AU tactical officer, was no exception to this mass baptism. He was known as "Lt. Message" just because he taught message '9.'riting, and so with the rest of the oth.:,,_. instructors. Naughty boys, those R.O.T.C. cadets. Aside from the food, one of the biggest complaints in the last summer cadre training was the uncertainty of the water supply-for bathing and for clrinking as well. Being the firllit postliberation training camp of its kind and therefore, a pioneer camp, it was but natural -that certain deficiencies such as that of the limited water supply would be an attendant problem. One can just imagine, as a consequence, what essence a "kaydet" would emit after going through a whole day's hard grind and not be able to take a bath. The very thought of it is stifling! 31 But all was not dark and gloomy in th6 R.O.T.C. summer camp. The camp tacticians undoubtedly believed in the popular maxim that "AU work and no play makes Juan a dull boy" for they saw to it that wholesome recreation nnd entertainment was given to us. During the first half of our stay in the cadre, we had movies almost every other night and during the second half. we had our "smokers". This was a form of stage show which consisted mainly of skits, singing of songs and guitar and piano playing (we were able to borrow a piano from one of the bars in the neighborhood). Each of the four companies had a smoker night, every company trying to outdo one another, which delightful presentation elicited high praise and admiration from the top brasses and were very instrumental in boosting the morale of everybody. They were also factors in permeating thr: rank and file of the cadet corps with the spirit of camaraderie and helped improve in a great measure the instructorstudent relationships in the camp. As ir~ all army camps, we, too, had a PX in Alabang. Ice cream, coke, Pepsi-Cola, beer and other knick knacks could be had at controlled prices. To supplement our poor army rations, a Chinese restaurant was allowed to operate in the camp compound where one could have pansit and other Chinese specialties, Just like at any downtown restaurant. Jn every tent could be seen frequently miniature parties or snacks, with canned goods as the principal dish. Intercampany basketball games were played in the camp hang-ar and on May 7 a team was sent by HAP which played against a picked team composed of cadet basketeers. We lost by a lone point, 35-34 after a hectic, thrilling game. On April 27 we held a dance in the camp's Arellano Standard recreation hall-the ever-accommodating hangar. Nurses from St. Luke's Hospital and from the PGH went out of their way to take a trip to distant Alabang 2.nd be our dancing partners. There were some very charming and gorgeous coeds from Sto. Tomas and FEU, too, whu helped make the affair a huge success. Despite our military set-up, democracy was in action in the cadre. From time to time, we held open forums which gave the cadets opportunities to air whatever gripes they had as regards the administration of, and certain practices in, the camp which were none-too-pleasing to them. And the camp commandant, like a good and conscientious father, listened with open ears and an cpen mind to the complaints and sugg-estions of his "sons" and always saw to it that whatever defects there were were remedied in due time. Now, if an Aalabang "internee" were to talk about the camp, he, perforce, cannot dissociate laundrywomen therefrom, for if one had to stay c1ean he had to have a 11 lavandera", so that each and every cadet had his own washer of his uniforms (including the inner gar· ments). These women visited us every afternoon and, in passing, it is not amiss to mention that some campers actually fell in love with them-a sort of emotional relief, I suppose, from· the daily intensive grind. And as every cadet will affhm, there was op:e laundry woman who was "tops" of them all, by the name of Siony. She really had the looks and naturally, everybody wanted hur to be his "lavandera". Catcalls and wolfcalls would fill the air every time she <'hanced by, although I am inclined to think that she did not do the washing herself as her hands were smooth and soft, unlike the other laundrywomen whose hands plainly manifested the November, 1947 after..,ffects of washing. Another V<'ry interesting feature of our training was HMail Call". Twice a day the mails were distributed to the trainees and like its counterpart in actual warfare, this event was always a moment of expectation and inspiration. Everybody milled around the mailman at mail call and everyone felt very happy when his name was called, which meant a letter from a relative, a sweetheart, or a friend. May 27 was D-day. The Secretary of National Defense and top officers of the Philippine Army witnessed a tai!'tical operation given by the R.O.T.C. cadets in the hills of Muntinlupa. Bullets and shells-live ones, mind you-whined and burst and the infantry advanced under a hail of deadly machine-gun and mortars fire. We were demonstrating to the military observers the "Rifle Company in the Attack". One and half GREETINGS: hours after the offensive was launched, the objective hill was captu1·ed. Result: Mission accomplished. Casualties: 2 cadets who swooned due to the intense noonday heat and natural portrayal of the simulated battle. Comment from the nation's top army experts: "The regular army could not have done bettet." The 31st of May was the greatest day of all. That was commencement day and it meant the culmination of our hardships. We had Senator Salipada Pendatun, himself a notable military man, as commencement speaker with Lt. Col Marcos Soliman, Assistant Chief of Staff, G-3, distributing the certificates to the first post-war R.O.T.C. gradutaes. That afternoon we bade farewell to Camp Alabang-not without regrets-but happy with the thou~ht of a job well done. Arellano Students & Members of the Faculty FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF YOURR.O.T.C.

Arellano Standard 42 November, 19(7 Anq Kahuluqon Nq Wikonq Pombonso Akda ni Gng. Adelaida S. Diyco Sa sanda1ing pinagtibay ng ating Pamahalaan na ang Tagalog ang siyang magiging \Vikang Pambansa ng Pilipinas, ang bawat mamamayan ay napatawan nang isang karagdagan sa kanyang pananagutan. Ang pagkakatutong magsalita, bumasa, at sumulat ng Tagalog ay naging kanyang tungkulin. Dahil dito, ang hangad ng Pamahalaan na magkaroon tayong iisang istandar na kagamitan sa wikang ito ay nararapat isaalangalang at sang-ayunan n?; lahat at bawat mamamayan. Ang Kapuluang Pilipinas, gaya nanK alam nating lahat, ay binubuo ng· napakaraming pulo. Ang biJang ng mga pulo ay kasindami o hihigtan ang bilang· ng mga salita o wikang ginagamit natin. Kaya hindi katakataka na tayo ay hindi r•ag·kakaunawahan. Ang di-pag·kakauna''·:han natin ay lumikha nang pagkakawatak-watak sa anomang bagay. Ang pangyayaring ganito ay hadlang sa pagkaka-sulong. Ang Wikang Pambansa ay may layunin. Ang wikang pambansa ay siyang lunas sa kawalan nating pambansang ragtutulungan. Ang iisang wika na ga,1.;·amitin ng buong Bansa ay makapagbabawas sa seksiYonalisrno, kundi man lubusang mawawala.

Pelayo Masaya ang libingang naiilawang mabuti nang gabing iyon na "Araw ng Mga Patay". Ang dating nakatatakot, madilim at payapang libingan ay nagdiriwang wari sa kanyang kaarawan. Marami ang may-sinding ilaw-tagitab at mga kandila, humahalimuyak ang bango ng sari-saring bulaklak, nagkalat ang iba't ibang paninda at nagyayao't dito ang naggagandahang mga dalaga at nagkikisigang mga binatang nagsisipamasyal. Sa mga dalaga at binata, ang araw ng mga patay ay isang pagkakataon ukol sa pagpapasyal; sa mga bata namang naroroo't nagsisipaglaro--ito'y isang gabing punung-puno ng kasiyahan. Nguni't samantalang ganyan ang larawang nakalantad sa ating paningin, dumaku-dako tayo sa sulok na iyon ng libingan na di gaanong matao ....... sa dako roong di gaanong maliwanag .... . sa dako roong mangilan-ngilan lamang lumang puntod ang makikita't rnapapansing ulilang-ulila-sa dalaw, sa bulaklak, sa ilaw. Sa isang lurnang puntod na walang kagayak-gayak at naiilawan ng dadalawang kandila, sa puntod na iyong may kalayuan nang kaunti sa karamihan, ay isang babaing luksa ang makikitang luhaang nakaluhod. Siya'y buung kataimtimang-loob na nag-uukol marahil ng panalangin sa kaluluwa ng yumaong doon marahil nalagak ang katawanglupa. Sa katairntiman ng kanyang pananalangin ay di niya mapigilan ang pagpatak ng Juba. Sapagka't hanggang ngayo'y sariwa pa ang sugat ng kanArellano Standard yang puso na nilikha ng isang alaalang kailan ma'y di na makakatkat sa kanyang isipan. Pa rang kakaha pon lamang ......... . Ang libingang iyon ay madalas din niyang tahakin, nguni't di siya nagiisa. Kung tag-ulan, at nakakatuwaan nilang magkakaibigan ang dumayo sa San Francisco del Monte upang manguha ng mangga, bayabas o santol kaya, ang libingan iyon ang kanilang tinatalunton sapagka't nalalapit sila. Si Matilde at mga kasamahan ay tila hindi nakadama ng pagod sa paglalakad nang ganoon sa ulan. Lalo na si Matilde. Sapagka't sa gayong mga pasyalan, ay di nawawala si Victor, ang lalaking siyang unang nagturo sa kanya ng pagibig. Palibhasa'y kapuwa pusong nagmamahal at umiibig, ang dalawa'y natulad sa mga ibong lagi nang nagtatalik na asa mo'y wala nang kamatayan. Sa kanilang pamamasyal, minsa'y nagbiro si Victor, na siya tuloy naging dahilan ng tawanan ng magkakasama. -Halimbawang, ako ang laman ng isa sa mga nitsong iyan, dalawin pa kaya ninyo ako? -Ikaw! - at humalakhak ang pilyang si Lucing - tatapakan namin ang paglilibingan sa iyo. -Ano bang dalaw-dalaw - susog naman ni Dioning, - ni hindi na kami dadaan pa uli rito. 44 Si Matilde lamang ang walang kakibukibo. Hindi niya minaganda ang gayong biro. Nakadama siya ng biglang kalungkutan. Ano nga kaya kung ... -Diyos ko! Huwag Mo pong itulot! -ang nasabi niya sa sarili. November, 1947 Si Matilde naman ang hinarap ni Victor na di niya alam na ang gayong pagbibiro'y di nakabubuti sa dalagang kasama. -Alam mo, Tindeng, pag ako'y namatay, ayokong malagay sa ganyang kay gagarang mga nitso. Hindi ko rin lang makikita, anong kasiyahan ang maidudulot noon sa akin? Tama na ang dalawin mo ako sa tuwi-tuwi na. -Magpapatuloy pa sana ang binata nguni't napuna niyang tila hindi siya pinapansin ng kanyang kausap. -Nguni't hindi ka nakikinig, Tindeng. -Nakita ni Victor ang pamumula ng mata ng dalaga, kaya't: -Mahal ko, nagbibiro lamang ako.

Tai vez, por medio del conocimiento del buen viivir, talmente como practicaron nuestros viejos, de temple de un molave, podemos ·mejorar la precario condicion de nuestros pais. En lugar de contentarnos con un pedestal en la cumbre del mundo, haciendo indiferente a la miseria de nuestros conciudadanos, debemos abrir las puertas de nuestro corazon al desesperado, dandole alberg-ue ,para disimula t la crueldad de otras sonrisas. Nopodemos esperar a vivir decentemente a menos que sembremos la se~ milla de la honradez. Este preceptos necesa.rio a fin de poder reportar una cosecha abundante. Debemos guiarnos de la voz de la experiencia. Esa es una voz que siernpre impera por su antigua grandeza. La vida, sin lucha, no aspirando sino solo las corn.odidades de la existencia, es absurda. Por desear enriquecere pronto, hay muchos funcionarios de! go~ bierno que se corrompen. En efecto, pueden dormir t ranquilamente, a pesar de tanta riqueza acumulada, con consciencia asi atr ibulada. Tales oficiales que roban la caja de! estado, tales oficiales que sacan ventaja sobre el pan destinado al pobre tao, deben ser ahorcados. Pues, a ellos, la riqueza es, sobre todo, el motivo pr imordial de su vida. Los patriotas que murieron par a el bien de nuestro dan un buen ejemplo a la juvent ud consus actos de heroismo.

MATJRICIO PIMENTEL Arellano Standard Nove1Aber, 1947 El Dia De Los Heroes Nacionales En una nueva e independiente existencia nacional, La Republica, el dia de los heroes nacionales adquiere subidisimo significado, pues que en esta fiesta de los heroes, una independiente Nacion filipina, joven como esta, experimenta la misma emocion que sientan las otl'as nacionales libres de allende el Pacifico en sus heroes grandes. Es que en cuaiquier pais del globe, este dia de los heroes como en el nuestro, esta consignado con indelibles caracteres de altisima significacion para la humanidad, pero mucho mas para esta tierra tan mimada como acariciada del sol y de lo.s mares. Es por todo el mundo el dia del homenaje a los espiritus inmortales de la sin par hazana de nuestros distinguidos martires. Ya es ocioso relatar la dolorosa tragedia de los sacrificios de estos heroes que murieron por dar la patria su gloria en el campo de batalla de Bataan, que sucumbieron por enfermedades o por los crueldades de los brutos japoneses en el campo de Capas y que padecieron victimas de los brutalidades de los japoneses en los carceles del Fuerte de Santiago o lucharon con delirio en los pasos incognitos de los montes desafiando tenez y valerosamente el poder de los brutos conquistadores japoneses. Empero sus sacrificios no fue vano porque el arbol de la libertad que fue regada. con la sangre de nuestros martires ya ha rendido su fruto por una cosecha llena de gloria nacional-la independencia. Hoy gracias a los labores de nuestros heroes conocidos o no, desde Rizal, Bonifacio y Mabini y los otros heroes de Bataan, Capas y del Fuerte Santiago, nosotros hemos alcanzado el triunfo definitive de nuestras aspiraciones libertarias. Hoy ocupamos un· puesto de honor en el concierto de las naciones cultas y libres del mundo. Heroes nacionales, intrepidos hermanos de Lapu-lapu y hijos nobles de filipinas, sois la gloria perenne de nuestra Patria: el recuerdo de tus grandes nombres no se relegara jamas a las calendas griegas y solo desapareceran con la desaparicion de nuestra Raza Malaya. Aunque tus cuerpos mortales ya yazcais en nuestro sagrado suelo, empero, tu memoria venerada siempre sera susurrada por las cimbrenos ramas de los ca11averales. En el ambiente de nuestra pacifica tierra bajo su cielo azul, sobre la ondas que aprisionan montanas de zafiro y orillas de esmeralda; en sus diaf anos arroyos que sombrean cocos, bordan las flores natives y animan las libelulas y mariposas con su incierto y caprichoso vuelo; en el prof undo misterio de nuestros bosques, en el canto mistico de nuestros arroyuelos, a la luz de nuestra luna tropical; en el augusto murmullo de los vientos que sostienen el soberbio flote de nuestra solitaria bandera por el aire, por ende, en tu dia, fiesta de los heroes nacionales, hemos de resolver ser digna de tu, nuestros muertos heroicos y patrioticos ... que tu, que hayais caido en la noche. . . no murais en vanot -F. R. Amante ···»··->•·-<-· ... ···· Arellano Standard 48 November, 1947 AS WE GO TO PRESS ... Of what was supposed to be the College Editors' Guild meeting held at our library last Oct. 12 turned out to be an uninhibited, free-for-all debate between stubborn mules and flaming arrows. Those who have little, if at all, confidence in our representatives' ability to handle difficult situations demanding quick wit and resourceful intelligence should have been there. They would have had the occasion to witness the eloquence of Miss I. David and I\'lr. C. Jurado, who stood put like old sedate oaks in the wake of eonfused windidorms of muddled protestations from the FEU boys. The basic issue was the legality of the congregation to vote for the presidency and other officers of the Guild for the academic year '47 and '48. Indeed it was a sound ground to base their queries and protestations, but unfortunately, thru a confusion of minds, things went astray and digressed towards a deprecated show of bloated egos and blatant, if not downright roguerish, natures. If it were not for Mr. Jurado, who made a very timely entrance to augment the denunciation of Miss David with strong invectives, forcing them (at least their brain-child and mouthpiece) to the stand of a mere apologist (apologizing for the same misdemeanor every chance he had), the heated discussion would not have settled to a more apparticipants, doubly to our representatives: I-jurar-do-david. For a dreaded moment, we were fearful of a fistic tussle (we had raved to see) which seemed inevitable, but fortunately, the heat and excitement fizzled out. The self-control was commendable, and we doff our derby (we rarely do it) to the participants, doubly to our perfect couple and representatives: 1-jurar-do-david. Then some thoughtful gent (we almost kissed him for that) suggested a recess for the sake of our aching bread-basket. Received with loud cheers, and overwhelmingly carried into effect, everybody perpared for the most gratifying part of the afternoon. A licking of lips, patting of complaining bellies (ours did), expectant smiles, sloppy shop-talk, and chow was served. . . lovely and solicitous girls thrown in. Full mouths and hungry stomachs prevented the congregation from making much noise. (Yon know how it is when you a·re almost starving and tasty food is placed before you.) We, like clairvoyant boys that we were, slipped away to the kitchen, the fountainhead, to have more of this pie and more of that girl. We had (and how!) come to like both. The pie (ice cream plastered over it like nobody's business) was delicious and the girl was ah-0-0-0-ow ! Recommendable desserts, we dare say. We had both, but more of the other. There was Miss R. Pelayo, our Tagalog editor, (she writes a lot about sad themes. We suspect a disappointed lonely heart beneath) jolly, not sad, with her plateful of pansit;·charming Misses F. B. (Bonnie) Uy and A. Claudio, sweet and no less happy about their ice cream and fruit pie; beautiful Miss F. Yumul (we like her simple country beauty) smiling the pansit away; and an assortment of their tender kind, equally charming and then some, and not forgetting our dear friend, -"Po-nga." (Nice name, eh wot?) Needless to say, the girls and we had more than enough. Arellano Standard 49 November, 1947 When it was time for the thank-you-,.ery-much-we-enjoyed-it-a-lot-and-goodbye ceremony, we were stuffed to the neck, not mentioning our pockets. We were hap .. py, (that is to say), we were beaming like contented cows (for comparison onlyv mind you), and were eager to romp away. So we said our thank-you-we-had-a~ lovely-time-hope-you-would-have-more-like-it-and-we-get-invited-thank - you - againgoodbye, and scampered away to take our rest due us, (we didn't really know what for, but blissfully did) bless our soul•.

He said, "We will now have a few minutes of prayer. Deacon Brown, will you open?" Deacon Brown roused a bit and sleeply replied, uopen, hell, I just deaJ,t.'' * * * And then there's a Hollywood chorus girl who called her offspring "Contempt" because he was bred by familiarity. * * * When the Chicago subway was being dug a "drunk" stopped beside the ezcava4 tion and called down to the men at the bottom of the pit: "Shay, watcha doin' down there?" "We're building a subway," otte of the men responded. "How long is it goin' to take to buil' it?" "Three yeaJrs," came the answer. "Three years!" (hie) "To 'ell with it. I'll take a taxi." * .* * She broke her boy friend of biting her nails-she hid his teeth. * * * Lawyer, over phone: "They can't put you in jail for that," Client: "Oh, yeah? Where do you think I'm phoning from~the public li· brary?" * * * It was a good many years ago that Deacon Jones took his wife to the races. Just as the horses were lining up at the barrier, Mrs. Jones grasped the Deacon nervously by the arm and in a voice which was fil.led with emotion, asked him for a safety pin, and at the same time grabbed frantically for something that seemed to be slipping at the knees. Just then someone nearby shouted. "They're off" And Mrs. Jones fainted. * * * A cute young thing walked into a dress shop and asked fo see some silk dresses. The ,sales lady tried to convince her that she should buy a wool drns, but to no avail. Finally, she asked; "But why do you insist on a silk dress?" "I'm tired of having the wool pulled over my eyes." Arellano Standard 50 November, 194'7 TENTATIVE SCHEDULE OF CLASSES ARELLANO UNIVERSITY Manila, Philippines Second Semester 1947-1948 M. W. F.

However, praises are insufficient nourishment for mental happiness; acclamations and applauses are poor support for the inner satisfaction; moreover, vanity is a chea,p veneer for one's inferiority; and accomplishments are inadequate feed for mental health; because life is full of adverses, disappointments, and failures over which man often has no control and for which he should not necessarily depreciate himself. It is indespensable to know how ambition, originating from unconscious wants, can often lead to mental distress and great incapacities. It is perhaps accurate to say that ambition to be substantitally wholesome, merited, and beautiful must be the product of selfdiscipline, balanced emotions, and selfcontrol. We must nurture ambition with the higher purpose, putting into it the nobler essence of self-denial and humility, placing it above mere compensatory drives; and we will be able to realize that we are not much different from thousands of others and that our satisfaction must ultimately be the fruit of an inner strength and a deeper feeling of discipline and worthwhileness rather than from a superficial outward show.

The members of its staff presume honesty and integrity of purpose in every contributor. But they cannot countenance, nor can they be a knowing party to, plagiarism-or literary thievery-which is a criminal offense under our existing penal laws. All contributors are, therefore, warned against the commission of such an offense.
