FR. LUIS E. SCHONFELD, SVD Moderator Editorial: A notion has gained quite a currency among the student population that college furnishes the sure-fire formula for success. The idea had so flourished lately it is becoming more and more difficult to disentangle the sheepskin from the shining symbols of security, high living. and dreams-come-true. Apart from the promise of decisive achievement which he expects college to toss in. his laps, more often than not, the high school kid has an eye peeled to the glamour of college life. The brand-new personality, the flashy uni.form, the intramural excitement, the nice "adult" people he is thi·own in-all add up to an irresistible lure. Soon he becomes detei·mined to go through the whole thing in a happy-go-lucky, collegiate way. The set-up merely suits him to a T. He seems to have hit oit the smooth trail that gets around the steep, proverbial humps between him and success. What's more, it looks like strictly a pleasui·e trip and he fa to "arrive" in style. To some extent, the current school boom may be traced to the gi·owin,q populai~ty of this naive notion. A high school graduate steps into college with the trepidation comparable only with the wide-eyed wistfulness of the old folks in Marco Polo's time as they trekked eastwanl in search of the miraculous fountain of youth. Thus when the high moment arrives, he clutches at the diploma with the urgency of one who feels he has grabbed success at last by the tail. But the honeymoon does not last long. Soon realities catch up with him, knocking off one after another all the silly pet notions that used to clutter up his young mind. And hardly has he shed off the toga than he gets the usual quota of rough jolts set aside for the uninitiate and the shortsighted in life's big game. College is still a schoo~ if you will, a bigger school. The freshmen are apt to be nostalgic when they meet again the familiar classroom boss pe1'haps a little older, wearing a longer face and horn-rimmed glasses. All around them are evidences of the well-known, old-fashioned set-up. The book grind is still on; the teacherpupil team-up holds on like a sentimental songhit. There's no magic in the magic formular---except the midnight oil. The bulk of the.job has still to be slung over the shoulder. Most of the shaping of the student has to be done with his own hands for the collegiate machine does not operate independently of the students' own strivings. It is time we reexamine what drives hat·e pushed us into college. It is no hunting gi·ound foi· excitement and good time. To make a go of. it, colle.qe must be a serious business even as all planning for the future should be serious planning. The tribe who seek to combine wild sprees with studies will end up sampling an unsavoi·y stew. The supine, stari·y-eyed who envisions himself up on a high pei·ch poised joi· the one big dramatic splash to herald his ent·ry into the outside world may unhappily land in a puddle with not enough water to wet his shirt. Truth to tell, colle,qe has not yet devised the magic, answer-all foi·mula that will turn out, at the push of a button, pi·efabricated, full.fledged, successful men and women. It sticks to the moth-eaten, old-maidish (if the expi·ession can be forgiven) job of providing knowledge only to those who have the will and the inclination to absorb. The process is one of helping us discover ourselves and developing what has been discovered. But the talent must be yielded to be exploited, the genius unveiled to be tapped. When the final accounting is done, it is still our own resourcefulness, our ability to absorb, our will to sacrifice, our devotion to study, the vision and the courage in us that make the sizes of success we !II.come. The tools. thrust into our hands. we are thus launched into the world but still free to carve out our careers and destinies with our own hande. Page 4 CAROLINIAN A close-up 011 the affable. approachable personality that stepped into Rev. Arthur Diugman's shoes The pamphlet's cover was bright a J.. t.ut the foreword inside was brighter Uf ko-1 still-in a few precise paragraphs il convinced the freshman the importance of logic. The conr proclaimed thus; "Outlines of Logic-by AJ. bert V. Gansewinkel". Now, there are authors and a11th0r~. More often than not they are remote and erudite strangers but here, for once is one as erudite but not remote nor a stranger. For as everyone knows. Rev. Albert van Gansewinkel is our new Rector. Rev. van Gansewinkel (fan gan1-iey-vink'l) was born in Duisberp:, Germany in 1903 durin~ the time~ when the floral festivities nearl-i its climax in the month of Our Ladr, May 28. He studied in Rome, w3.s an outstanding student, took special -:lasses under the world-famous 1heologian and moralist, F1'. Ver· meersch. He was in.-;tructor in Philosophy in 1929 at the Grerrorian University, Steyl. Holland where Rev. Ernest Hoerdemann was then a senior student. He was ordained in Rome. October 30, 1932. In Rome. Re\·. van Gansewink~l met his first Filipino. the now Monsignor Mariano l\Iadriaga. Anived in the Philippine:::: on Dec. 10. 1934. he had his fin>t assiimmcnt in ViJ(an from 1934, at the Diocesan Seminary. In 1941 he came to Cebu, taught Philosophy at the Colegio de San C::ar!os 11ntil 1 !l42 whPn the war reached the Philippines. lie was interned in Lahug for a week. The :\!ear was 1943 when Fr. van Gansewinkel went to Christ the King Seminary. A rear later, he went to Hol)' Ghost College. was there until 1945 when he went to Leyte. In Tacloban, he headed St. Paul's, a school which later became a college under his administration. He was to stay until 194!) when he came to USC as Rector. He has been to missions in many countries in Europe and to many provinces in the Philippines. In his "'"" w~v- hP hR.s uronaa-ated the Faith from the pulpit and the classroom. Philosophy is his forte. Rev. Fr. Albert van Gansewinkel is one whom all of us will come to regard more and more as we know him better, as time reveals, his constant cheerfulness and unfailing friendliness. Only forty-six years younj.!, Rev. Yan Gansewinkel is remarkable in intellig-ence and scholarship. (He is a Doctor of Theology.) Although quiet and re!'erved in nature. he has H ready smile and an affability that befit-; a di.e:nitar~·. He spca¥s in a By J. V. LIM warm, friendly voice evocative of his warm, friend!~' nature. In his affabilifr there is strength, in his quiet nlanner there is cheertulr.css, in his amity there is underF-landing and friendliness-in the person of Rev. Fr. Albert van Gan~ewink~I there is a qualit)' that will surely, indubitably command our admiration and respect. m~rn RfLIOR'S MfSSAGf rn mt [AROll~IA~S I noticed with ,ioy the great interest of the students in "The Carolinian." This is a good sign, because "The Carolinian" as the official organ of the student body has an important mission to fulfill: it should give a training to future journalists and it should build up a "public opinion" among the students-or rather something much better: it should feed and foster the "Esprit de Corps" which was so Ve't'Y much alire in San Cm·los before the wm· and which, as I saw and felt on several occasioiis already, by no means is dead now, which on the contrary lives and pulsates within the walls of the venerable old buildings as well as in the magnificent new ones, that subtle yet strong attitude which impels the students to do serious work in class and at home, to cultivate courtesy and good manners, to take delight in a noble .friendship with companion~ and teachers. Go out then again, dear old dCarolinian" under the cai·e of the new staff, ,go and •pin the threads weave the ties to fasten the hearts of all those who proudl11 call themselves "Carolinians" with the bonds of a.ffection for one another and f01· the tml11 great school which San Carlos Universit11 always has been. ALBERT VAN GANSEWINKEL, SVD Rector CAROLINIAN - Short Story - For days he had plotted, schemed deftly like an agent of the law closing in on an armed criminal. But he was on the ruttl'n side of the people. He would kill. Aurl the job is going to be perfect. Nobody is going to sniff a nose on an:v insidi1•u.: due because he is going to pick up what othel'S ha\-e left and learn better than to be a stupid, careless fool who forg~.:s to hnry his weapon for good after it has tasted Llood.

Now he brought up the back by Miss Williams includes an ex- stroke line. "Watch me do Esther hibition of graceful backstroke.

His legs now kicked vitossed in and made a splash as gorously and he started movinc loud as a flat-bottomed boat his arms in an overhead arc while thrown in the sea, bottom first. floating on his back, "Smile, Spluttering, coughing, arms thrash- Jack!", we called to him.

Next on his list of attempts was a snappy Jack knife dive. So he was once more at the jumping end of the diving board· Arter a few tentative poses on how to do the Jack knife, Jack leaped off the board-and hit the water belly first. "UGHFFTT", Jack groaned uponhitting the wate:-, indicatinc the failure of the attempt. By the time he staggered up the side of the pool, his chest and belly were tinted a deep red; and by the look on his face, the insides of his stomach must have been crushed, Jack crossed this off hi\\ attempt list and decided to try another dive. (Jar.k was one fellow that was hard to put down. "You can't put a good man down, you know!" was his favorite maxim, The only trouble was that Jack Extrovert Jack needed only a slight encouragement and he responded with renewed legkicking and arm-thrashing. This went on smoothly. Jack now could swim backwards on his back and smile at us. Like a duckling on its first swimming lessons Jack contentedly swam. "See? l can do it!" he exclaimed triumphantly, and we nodded in glum assent. He did it better and better after each few yards. and we thought it wouldn't be spoiled anymore by sudden mishaps or reverses. All the time, Jack was getting nearer and nearer the end of the pool but we didn't notice this to give him warning until it was too late· Being a man of endurance, Jack kept on kicking and swimming backwards until he hit the edge of the pool.

After being drenched with perspiration and getting tired of feeling the breath of a student behind me blowing down my spine, I manage to copy the time, room number, instructor, and days of my subjects. Now to go to my rooms and hand in my class cards. It doesn't seem to be any problem at all: you simply go to the room and submit your class card to the instructor like a good student, anc\ after that forget about it ancl go on to the next class. But it turn"!d out to be a carnival of shuttling· between rooms and teachers. Take, for example, my Spanish Ia. Some friends and myself thought we'd be settled comfortablv in the room and lime it said on the schedule, but we were sent out to another class anU another time. We changed our whole s:h~dule and went to that room. fleck. we were sent out aJ?ain. We beJran to feel like a croquet ball kicked out from one hole to another as we trudged from room to room, lookini:r for greener pastures. We had tri change our time schedules so mam· times, like a lady trying to decide which frock to wear to the Junior Prom. Exhausted, flabbergasted, bewildered, we entered one class and pleaded with the teacher to let u~ sla:i,' in his class. The prof looked at •·;-; l'IS if we were a bunch of escaped C(·nvicts and told us we could stay in his class-temporarily, until the !-ipecial section created for unfortunates like us was arranged. W€ sisrhed and looked around for empty seats on which to plunk down our fatigued bodies. No soap. Every seat was occupied by a belligerent femme or gay }'oung blade, so gay and happy over our misfortune. We stand in the back and jot down thEl insh·uctor's lecture on one another's hack. Have you tried that stunt? Bet you can't hold five minutes on it. We ask those who are near us what the prof said, and we get a suur face twisted in a cynical grin and challenging grimace. We feel like social outcasts, but "c'est la guerre !" In a roomful of students, mostly new and non-acquaintances of yours, a cold shoulder and an icy look is ram· pant. We make plans to make life miserable for others if we can do that. We also hope that the next cla:::s won't be so crowded as this 0nc. A can of sardines Is so roomy r:ompared to this class. After pushil•;r. excuse me-ing, and :;houlderin·! r.nr wa~' to the front to hand in our f'l lSS cards, we $?et them black with the announcement that we are to go tu this certain room, time, and instructor because "This class has to Uc split in two for you are too many." And he adds, " ... specially yoll latecomers." Well, here we go AGAIN, we say to each other, and march out in spirit. By this time we have missed the start of the lesson, and when we ;;ire finally settled in a class we arc Unrned for being so late. We arc <; hrisd to catch up by copying from the other students. But every female student we ask for a copy ot" the preceding lecture thinks we ar-.: fresh guys and are just making advances. The prof doesn't make it uny easier for us by warning us of an impending surprise quiz. This announcement brings out the greed in the other students who alreadr have the first lecture, and we ar,'! desperate. We plead, cajole, threaten, shout, scream, wail, and beg fo1· our neighbor's lecture notes. She finally gives in to our persistent, frantic pleas. But you know somel·hing? The b.i$ blow never came. There wuz no quiz until the second week. Well, at least we made an acouaintance. Page 19 BACK IN rHIS OLD .... _. (Continued from page 7) u~ after an absence of about seven years. In his impressions on coming back to us again, we can readily glean the kind of Carolinian he is. "I'm, therefore, so much the more determined to do everything in my power to contribute something to make San Carlos University the greatest and best institution south of Manila. All of us Carolinians, whether Faculty member or student, have .got to consol!date .our ef· fc>rts lo preserve and even to aug1nent an enormous prestige'~. That's a challenging exhortation to our loyalty and lov"! to San Ca1·los, but all of us Carolinians will join with each other to contribute what little we have to the fulfillment of our aims and desires for our University as clearly expressed by Reverend Father Schonfeld. 011 Co-Education The good benefits that our women de. rive for being permitted to enroll in the Ur.iversity of San Carlos, although thi~ institution used to he exclusive!~' for boys. is being counted as a blessing to the Cn tholic population of the Visayas. Father 8chonfeld hails this innovation in our University life with complete approval of what ought to be. "Confronted with post. war trends, it was certainly inevitable that we should have the co·educational sys· lcm. Our Catholic girls' mstitutions in the Vi!'ayas could cviclentl~· not cope with the difficulties of giving an adequate and t~.orouc:h Catholic education to all our Catholic ladies who might desire to have their studies on the higher plane of art~ i:nd sciences. That San Carlos did open J,rr portals to youn.[!'. women was definitely a right move in the right direction at the ric:ht time, and undoubtedly constilutes a signal blessing for our YCIUng women in particular and for our society in !!"rncral". 011r New ROTC 81·a11cli of Se1·vice Father Schonfeld was ntade to remember wistfull~· the triumphs of our ROTC tH1its before the War in ROTC meets i.1 !\fanila. when the subject of our ROTC was broached to him. He believes that the Jl( rmission given readily allowing the change in the branch of service of our ROTC into Artillery must be partly due to the fine showing and consequent good name our past ROTC units had attainetl i-nd mainly of course, as signal recognition of the able guidance and efficieni k,adership of our past and 1wesent Com. n;andants with the members of their respective training groups.

Para muchos esta prof esiOn es sinOnima de mentira, de engaii.o, de todo lo vii y contrario a la verdad. En sintesis, segUn ellos el derecho no es derecho sino torcido. No obstante, los abogados, y aquellos que pronto lo seran, no deben desesperarse, porque el derecht> o la abogacia no es lo que muchos lo consideran, sino lo que talmente es: una profesiOn Util y noble. En primer lugar, veamos quienes son los criticos del di!recho como prefesiOn. Indudablemente lo son unos ignorantes; unos que se creen sabios como para poder juzgar, sin saber los hechos. En otros terminos, son una manada de injustos. Son injustos porque fallan sin haber hecho el debido examen de las cosas pertenecientes a la abogacia. El derecho es igual que las dem&s nrofesiones. De Ia misma manera rme hay doctores. maestros, e ingenieros deshonrados, tambien ha'" abogados de mala prictica. y a"e iq-ual modo que la mayor parte de los de las otras profesiones, tales ~omo • la. medicina, la pedagogia, la mgemerm, son buenas, Ia rnayo1· mtrte dP los abogados son tambien buenos. En otras palabras, no debemos juzgar una cosa por la excepciOn. Tengamos en cuenta que un:i golondrina no hace primavera: que ~hunos malos abogados no significu que la abogacia, como profesiOn. es mala o sucia.
