At the risk of being overly repetitious, this is meant to expose that widespread cult of sophisticated youth blase from an over-dose of pleasure: namely, the worship of the bright lights, of glamour and all its superfices. A way of life that slants too sharply to the materialistic side bas given birth to a generation covered with tbe bard crust of selfishness. Present-day fasbions and movie fare that feed on the sensationalistic and the suggestive have lifted the flood-gates to a rushing tide of exhibitionism and fanfare even here in Cebu. For what bas become the yardstick of social success and popularity today? What qualifies one as a "regular fellow"? It is pointedly illustrative, a most ironic commentary, of progressive modernistic society that social standing is measured by the number and size of the parties one can throw; by the color and lustre of the clothes be can sport; by the variety of spicy gossip be can retail. He makes the longest reach to the level of the "select" -who takes the most license with life's values. Does the youth of today dream of attaining to a design of living based on the homely qualities of piety, modesty and simplicity? Does it lpok forward to a home grounded on filial love, marital fidelity and all the solid Oriental virtues? ]\/ix! WJ10 ever beard of rncb bromidic, old-fashioned ideas? Tailored to the best !-lolly1.;.·ood tradition, the "regular fella@" loses himself in endless pursuit oj gaiety and rei:elry. l~·m barked on r. contrnuous joy-ride, he Ines to outdo the glorified movie idol in disrespect for 'ik'Omanhood, in the volume of liquor consumed, and in the irreverence of bis language. By every girl added to his date-book, by every drop increasing bis alcoholic stint, by every word broadening bis i-·ocabulary of profanity, be strengtbem bis claim to the "regular fellow" status. All told, be spits at all the i:irtues of life as if they ·were so many cuspidors. And a very dull and uninteresting fellow-a "i;.1 et blanket"-is be '1k'1Jo follo'lk'S the straip)Jt and narrow path of clean, upright li'ving. Regarded with tolerant amusement, if not enl irely held in contempt, is one wbo respects womanhood, and abstams from drink and off-color stories. lie is merely beating against tbe waves when he starts talking about applying himself to some worthy vocation or looking for something worth living for. Jn short, this lack-lustre fellow is living a very unexciting life. Indeed the worship of the brigbt lights and glamour bas taken a dangerously fast bold on our pleasure-struck, joy-mad youth. Until we start tearing off the i-·eneer of showiness that bas encrusted our young people; until we start dredging the silt of egocentricity that has bogged vouth down, we cannot bope to topple fbe cult of timel.

In a11~wer to my question ''\\'hy arc you going to Rome at this time of the year?" he said "The Superior General of the Sr,ciet\· of the Di\·ine \\'ore\ has ca'l!ed PrO\·incial Superiors and delegates for a Lcncral Chapter.

"From Home, I intend to sec the scarlet poppies and Yari-colored tulips, and to hear the rhythmic spin of the giant windmills of Holland Then on to England - the home of English literature.

Father Dingman, with a merry twinkle in his eye then queried, "Aren't we mortal·; all alike? Years ago. my amhition had been to see Eng-land.

The air around it was filled with the fragrance of gardenias. i\frs. :\raneta loved flo\\"ers and her aarden was one of the most El'autiful spots in the little town of l\'Iercedes. Her son \\"as proud of '"Dovecot," the bungalow Rodv's father huilt years before f0r hi,; bride. For him ·it was home, and Rody loved every inch of the place. But today, for the first time in his lifc. he was oblivious of the natural beauty spread out before him. He stood hy the gale and looked into space \\"ith unseeing eyes. A gentle breeze swayed a spray of the bridal bouquet blooming over the pergola and ruffled his already unruly head, flinging down his troubled brow, a Jock of curly hair which made him looked defensely young. After aimlessly looking around him for a while, he wearily closed the gate and walked toward the house. As he entered his room. he dropped his tired body heavily on the bed. Not bothering to un<lress, he gazed at the hlank wall before him. until tears h<'gan to fall from his eyes. :\11 the pent-up emotions of the sixteen-year old hoy gave way, racking his \\·hole body with the sobs hJ! tried to stifle. "She's gone." he rnut:r.rl'd o\·er and o\•er again. ''Xellic is gone'. The first time Rc,dv .->aw Nellie, it was decid..!dly case of love at first si~ht. Coming home one afternor111 after a game of basketball with the boys, he saw her playing with one of hi-> :athe1"s old hats, Seeing the lr>ok of surprise on her sq11°s face, hi<; mother, who wa~ darning nearby, called him. "Rody, this is ....... . "Nellie!" he interrupted. "But, dear. yom:. aunt who July·Augu1t1 1947 THE CAROLINIAN left her this afternoou called her 'Patsy'. Aunt i\'Iilly is leaving for Manila, so Patsy is staying with from now on." "Please, Mums," he pleaded," let0 s call her "Kellie." The boy took his mother's soft hands in his o\\'IL hard brown ones and looked imploringly at her. Looking at her son !c-vingly, :-.he knew she couldn°t refuse him anything - not ~vhrn he started calling her ".\J ums." She knew she was n1;m rable when her son called h('r th:it. She ga\·e in and said. ".\II right. call her 'Nellie' if you wish." Gathering up lwr work. she stood and sh1oed them away. "Now, nm aJ,,pg yon t\\"o <~r yot1°1I get 1rn ,;11pper at all." That was three y<'ars ago. E\'cr since Nellie and Hody were the town's inseparables. There had sprung up between them a friendship that was full of \o\"e, loyalt,\·, and unselfishness. Rudy would come home from school tn find Kellie waiting for him at the gate. As soon as she'<l see him coming, her \\"hole face would light 11p \\"ith pleasure. He would. rush ~c· the gate, and they'd race up to the house, and make a dash for the kitchen, their hrahhv happy rnices echoing througl;out the l10use. Mrs. Araneta always had cookies. fried sweet potatoe,;, or fried bananas whicl· R,1dY loYed, ready for them. - Their hunger satisfied they would run out again. \ea\'ing the kitchen inseparable to lier once more.

In a certain sense this is true, because it i" in cnlk•.!!c that the student i,; preparing to Jn"" a life fuller and richer than that he would experience if he would not study in college. It is in college- that his faculties and power,; arc so dC',·eloper\ that he is the better able to satisfy the aspirations of his nature.

Aim of a College A true college gives her students a creed to satisfy their intellectual needs; a code to perfect their social dfsires and a cult to fulfill their religious aspirations. Gh·en these satisfactions man can Jin an ahundant life and is in a better condition to fulfill the purpose of his creation. ?'h~s is the aim of a college; this IS what it hopes to accomplish in tho;;e whn come within its walls.

"Please," "Thank you," "Excuse me," "How du you do." -these hy by JDSEFJNA LIM now shonlcl he second nature to us. For as one grows up. so nught to grow in proportion a person's good manners. Yet, with malice toward none and charity for alL let us consider a typical case. Smart Soph Take the case of Soph Smart-Pants. Youthful. good loo\dng, fairly bright and cursed with too much exuberance and high spirits - this beau monde spends the time of his life in college. Either one or both of two things precede his hail-fellcw-well-mct presence. The first is a cigarette smoke (yes, even in the social hall) and the second sounds like a first-cousin to din. I-le is a gregarious fellow, yet one who Jul)·August, 1947 lords it over his circle and sho\\'s his affection for individuals or groups hy commemorating them on desks and walls I-Jc spends so much time in the corridors or halls watching the ladies, whistling occa,.;iona\ly when a "choice morsel" p.lsses, yet he ne\·er greets his teachers ancl superiors, clergy or laity alike. As a matter of fact, to and from classes he rushe,.; without regard for profe,.;sors and ladies, \vho uught to pa<;s first. \Vhat greatly excites him is th(' sight of a friend or an acquaintance. :\s a good politician he hails them -- en:n while class i,.; in session. To him, people who gi\'e \\'omen prefe1encc h• S('ats are "softies." It just isn't smart not to take the ~l\>Jl'irtu nity of stuffing cigarette stuhs into chair seats or of throwing candy wrappers and scrap paper out of the windo\\', which hy the \\'ay, is also handy for spitting. :\'.ow and then, he gets myopic and ignores certain friends who ha,·c loaned him a peso or two, a hook or lecture notes (he has mi,.;laid thC'm), a fountain pen. an eraser. and who kno\\'s what else. !'\ext time you encounter him, reflect if you have any detachahles about you. In self defense - just in case. :\t programs, Soph SmartPants i-; the most avid of audiences. He claps as heartily as a farm hand. demands encores as sincerely as a child, sticks himself up like a sore thumb - apparently the hettcr to admire the scenery for himself. \Vhcrever he goes he thinks he owns the place he is in and the more so the longer he is in it.
