It is common to associate it with corrnpt p1acticcs, with •intrigues, and e\'cn with \'iolcncc. Youth on the other haml, is idealistic, earnest, and sincere. Is it dcsirnblc for youth to c1~· gage in politics? Can youth and politics go together? Before answering these question~. ccr· tain points about politics sh~uld be clarified. \\ihatc\·er may be said about it, politics exert a great influence ovc: the life of all the people of the counlrY. \\,11cthcr they participate in it ac· ti\-cly or not, the people arc affcctell hy politics. For the men who shape 1he policies of and who . run our gov· ermneut arc chosen b\· tlus S\·stcm cmn monk called politiCs. Coi1scquently, all li1ose tmdcr the dominion of the go\'cmmcnt arc necessarily affected by politics. AND THE CAROLINIAN LEOCADIO LLANTO LAW ·~9 (MAYOR OF SAN FERNANDO) POLITICS To ha\·c such an attitude would be to take a defeatist position. \Ve cannot dismiss "this measly game of politics" with a shrug of our shoulders. Politics is an essential feature of our democratic svstcm of E!O\'Cmment and it has .far rcUching influence on the ccononuc and social life of the countrv. That it is associated with corrupt practices cannot he an excuse for our indif· !ercncc to it unless we will ]et this country of ours go to disaster. Rather, these corrupt practices should be the reason for the citizens, especiall)' the youth, to ha,·e more interest in politics. Tl~ere is great need for cleansing our polittcal practices. Yonth with his idc:J!· ism and energy can do mnch towards freeing politics from its dirty aspects, or at least in reducing malpractices to a minimum. I do not mean to say that youth should actively engage in politics-that would entail dissipation of energy. \Vhat is needed is for youth to he more conscious and assertive of th~~r iit~;~ca~c riJ~!~nr~;~t ~~~~~~~s. to ~1~~t t!~~~1J~Jutl~ ~d~~~i1~~e~1~y ~~~~~i~:~ of the moral fibre of our vouth. It would be nearer to tmth to declare that a conscious and asserti•;'! youth guided b\• idealism will purify ·our political practices. "The future is in your hands;" ~o y~~~a~;1ly~~;~a~~~~nfab~~~~J a~d long." Not the least of this hard and ~~~g ~f ~~~dlis~tj~i'stl~~s~i~~ ~fk;~i~i~~ and thus assure politics of its proper function: the establishment of an efficient government for the welfare of all. lt is the intention that in the manifestation of the free will of the peopfo, a11 efficient go\'ernmcnt is established, .i ?m·crnmcnt that works for the prom.otion of the general welfare of all its constituents. I-Iowe\'er, in prac.ticc, in t!Ting to ascertain what the will of the - - - - - - - - - - - · - - - - - - - - - - - , - - - pCoplc is, corrupt practices enter. lt wonlcl take a long time to relate the sd1cmc~ and artifices used in influencing and dcfcati1~g the free will of the people. The fnuts of a victory at tl~e polls arc so luscious that wca~ men \~ill sacrifice principles for their attammcnt. Bnt it must be remembered. that the people, specifically, the electorate, is not alwa\·s dnmb. All the people cannot he fo'oled all the time. Frauds cannot be committed alwavs without the l'CO•l\c rising in nrOtCSt against them. Politicians who fool the people do not ~tav lon~ in power. Tt is safe to say that the remlts of the elections in most cases reflect the true will of the people. \Vere it not so. how do yot1 account for the continued existence of this svstem of free elections in the progrcssh'.e nations of the world?

ABARQUEZ It is c\·iclcnt .that politics exert a great influence over the life of the people. It is admitted that corrupt practices arc associated with it though not to the extent of completely misrepresenting the people's will. In the face of these facts, what must vouth do?

SPORTS PllRllDE ++++++++++++++++++ By NARCISO L. ALIRO Jr. 111111111111111111 Basketball coaches of Cebu's leading cdticational institutions ar:;: lc,·crishlv rounding up and dubbing in the finishinJ!; touches to their teams. Non-praying basketball mentors arc suddenly beginning to pray-and how they pray! The band begins to strike up. "\\That's all this rumpus on the campus?" "Brother, the basketball season will soon llc on!" Soon the basketball stars will step into the limelight and display their wares. 111cn will he time tor the realization-or unrealintion-of sweet dreams of victory. And the basketball "experts" are beginning to have more and more hallncinations. Som'..: members of this exclusive tribe of false prophets, the "oseudo-expcrts", e\·cn say the goose is cooked. _But dame victory is illusive and fickle. Yours truly cannot remain quiet with his fingers crossed and stay aloof and unconcerned in the midst of all these uncertainties and pandemonium. Ye olde editor and executed, I mean, executive editor have promised me ten meters of pme, unadulterated super special ice drops-if I make the correct predictions. (I sme could utilize those ice drops right now.) My present crvstal ball has never failed me vet; the last one which caused me to eat m\' hat suffered a dirty politician's "demise. As I gaze into my crystal, I see a myriad of multicolored spectacle~. Myopic as I am, I can see the blurred intermingling colors slo\\'ly mergin~ into. . . yes, sir, Green & Cold! Now all I have to do is interpret meaning of this phenomenon. The CAAA Senior basketball classics will be a mad scramble of the four giants. 111e Southwestern Five, defending champs, will have to take the measures of the powerful CIT Maroons, the straight-shooting Southerners aml the smooth-passing and deadlv-shooting San Carlos Warriors, 1946 National Inter-Collegiate champion.~ and conquerors of the Canadian Vancouver Reel Roses. All have their ranks decimated by the exodus of veterans lured bv tempting offers of Manila colleges and universities and by the one year residence rule, should the CAA.A adopt it. The SWC Quintet looks strong on paper. Dadoc Cortes is still combat· serviceable and is ablv backed up by the Alcudia brothers and Jaen. Howeve! the SWC defense line won't he so impregnable now with the absence of Dioscoro Alesna who has gone to the land of "kinampay." The Cebu Tech boys arc "hot" according to reports. If thev are hot enough they mi~ht burn to criso the S\VC hope of repeating. And there are Doc Alburo's shooting stars. The SC squad is rcenforced by stars who just graduated from the Junior League champions. The S\VC contigent has Le play better basketball or else .. The USC Warriors will be the stron~est threat to SWC's bid for snorcmacy. Sounds optimistic, huh? But I still contend the Green & Cold \Varnors have more than a china-mans chance to upset the SWC apple cart. The Warriors dont look as if thev could dish it out in practice scraps. But man, oh, man! watch them fight when the real battle is on. Remember the S\VCUSC duel of last year when the \.Varriors came from behind-and thev were miles behind-and came to within 3 pts of keeping the basketball diadem without Mumar? Only the unusual artillery fire of Dadoc Cortes saved South· western. And did you see the Carolinians upset the Vancouver Red Roses? That, skeptics, is how San Carlos fights when inspired. Le.t me repeat. The CAAA Inter-Collegiate basketball tourney will be a toss-up. Basketball is a game of surprises and upsets; to wit, the last Olympic Carnes: when a team beat the other, and another beat the one that beat the other; and the fourth beat the one that beat the other; and so on and so forth. 111en, too we bave the University of the Visayas and the Cebu College to think about. I shall not stick my neck far out this time. But I'll bet all mv neighbor's property and all the money I'll win in this coming sweepstakes th~t the persistent boys of Lahug will stubbornly defend to the last man theu pqsition in the cellar. Page I:; Collegiate lntramarals started In the afternoon of Au~11st 16th, Reverend Father Rector tossed a ball into the air. Two energetic yonn;; men leapt to tap the ball, one was a Pre-Medic and the other a Law stndcnt. Expectant eyes were_ all around. Thus, the Annual Collegiate Intramural Series of Games started. The game rolled on until it ended into an unbalanced score of 30 to 8 in favor of the Law team. The next game was played in th;: same afternoon between the teams of the College of Commerce and that of Engineering. The Commerce team won the game with a safe margin. A week passed l'he Pre-Mccls were determined to do their best and when they played it out with College of Eclncahon team on 23rd of August, the stain of their defeat at the hands of the Law team, was washed out. Thcv defeated the Edncation team with ii score of 13 to 24. Physiography l:xcarsion By F. C. ZARRAGA Under the clircction of Mr. Mariano Flordclis sixty physiography students made a successful excursion to Tinaan, Uling and Talisay last Snnday. The students observed the different kinds of minerals necessary for the production of cement such as limestone, gypsum, and shale, and the visilllc faults of several bald mountaim. Thev also saw the entrance to the twokiloinctcr long Uling coal mine tunnel. Mr. Flordelis was cordially welcomed by the coal mine snpcrintcndent, En· ginner Tloncsto Capud, who offered the former and his students a brief sight-secin~ in the dark tunnel, but lack of time made the trip impossible. The excursionists first started out at 8: 30 A.~vl. for Tinaan and next to Uling coal mine where thev had their dinner. At 3:30 PJvl. thev left for T<1lisay to enjoy some refreshments. Education Seaiors Hold Party The Education Seniors of the S:m Carlos University held a get-together party in Miramar Talisay on August 22. Badminton, Chinese Checkers. chc~~. ping-pong and swimming were the different activities of the occasion. A novel sport, archery, was tried by the Seniors with zeal and enthusiasm under the instruction of Fathers R. Hoeppener and S. Szmutko. Highlights of the affair were the performances given by the well know;1 talents of the College of Frlucation.
