Tradi· tionally, the C11n:filiilrn editor's tc. nurc ends with the !!Chool ~car, but the find j,,h of overhauling and rcvolutionizin~ the college mag left a 1l{·cp impn,::<ion on the Father Moderator who insist('d th~t he took ano· th('r term ~respite the heavy load of NGR u11d hia ataff who sulvaged the Carolinian from the rock. and HtC0111li11ed it to •wit the taates of 1101t and I.

He shouldered ·responsibility fol' the u11ivcr11tiy organ up to last November only to land into a more taxing job l.'i editing the university annual. c-thcrwise k11own us Sem,,er Fidelis. If the measure of the calibre of a eollc~c editor is gauged b~· the num· her and the kind or people who read his editorials, NGR has had a who11· ping one, NGR reading audience has not been confined within the univel'sity campus alone. The most v~. cal pats·on-thc·back also came from the outside, His editoriuls evc1 1 find their way into local dailies. An editorial about taxes on schools, no lcs;; a columnist than La P1·e11aa'11 Javier Losadn. alias Rev. F1.. Martin Le. i:arra, rector of the Coh:gio de Sa11 Jose took notice and featured it i1; his colun1n "Sal y Pamienta". Said Fr. Lagarra in said column: "In nw recent trip to a southern town.. I rt:ad in the official ?Jublicatic.~ or the t:nivc1·sity of San Carlos an extreme· ly interestinK editorial entitled KILL· ING THE GO'OSE THAT LAYS THE GOLDEN EGG . It is sil:nctl b~· one N a11oleon G. Raina. The fact that it has been written by a Napoleon already meaM a lot. For reallr. its writer exhihits the true features of a french general, with the darin.t of one who packs a wallop that ean knock e"ld foes in any guise. The c11itorialist does not mince word;;, calls I\ cow a cow, and a spade a spade ... and sets himself off for his cla1·ity e>f stde and s•.rah~htfol'ward· ncss .. with the razor-edge end of his pen, he has cut a wide swath in the broad perimeter of the belly or those whom he tags tht archiMct1 of 0111·1/igm1tu who1t barO·f(lcedthievt r!I /•,,11 e1111,lied 011r 11otio11(1l cofft r11 •••. <who) now would have us take th~ 1 '>• 11 for their 11ins." Fr. Lei:rarl'8's rnlnmn ends with a- suggestion that NCR send a copy of his editorials b tha11c concerned and offered an ap. propriate nustic postcrlpt. To a college editor, nothin:;:- could be so rewarding- as the notices hi11 ~ditorials draw from the rii::ht people and the right papers outside of the school prcn1ises. Once, a surve~· of school maeazines all over the e<·untry !'howed that four out of ever)' seven school organs with an cxchan~ column have quoted the Carolinian editorials. Said The Bedm1, school 01·ean of Manila's San Beda Collei:re: ''Once )'0\1 l•ntcr the portals of the University of San Carlos ... you come out . •. a dyed·in·the wall Carolinian. It gets in your blood. Onee " Carolinian, always a Carolinian .So the ed of the Carolinian says. To the University of S:rn Carlos, to the CAROLINIAN, and to Nap Rama, the editor, a bouquet of roses for turn· inir out a swell mag and more wishes for a successful year:• The Camrms Leodcr, University of Manila official mag made a speeial mention of one of NGR's vaunted editorials, that one which roundly laid bare "the pro· nouneemcnt of President Quirino, or<kring the lay.off of special policen1en and agents" as a political ma· neuver. Manila's Map11an and the local school or,l!;ans had had nice words for the Carolinian and its ed1· torials. NGR formula. for running successfully a eolle,C!:e mag was mostly hard work plus resourcefulness and ima· !?ination. He pluckily dodged the 1mud pain in the neck reserved for collef?e editors at deadline time caused l:y post-war dearth of student.writ· t<'n printable materials for our mag by handpicking those student Wl'iters who show pro1ni£c and makin,C!: them write. Unlike most school editors who on suc!i a trying circumstance either throw their hand!! up in resignation. Id out Mme j?ripes, or post bee:ginJ? noticei< on the school bulletin board. N'GR l'ushcs out of the edito1·ial office. hcnts down like criminals the ta· l"nted few aomnl? the school popu]i>tion. and in effect, browbeat them ''"HI they hand in their pieces. He 1Joesn't believe in deadline notices on the "begging" boards, nor in smug waitinl!: . for the materials to roll in with self·addressed-!<tamped enve· lopes !rom the mails. He is convinced that he gets quicker results by the NOR.style of hounding and corner· ini:i: the right people with personal ultimatum, He sure gets thillJ?:ll done his way, Once when he wanted a doctor of theology to write on the delicate doJ?:· n1a of the Assumption, Father Rec· tor was the only one available hereahouts. But the latter was neck·deep with work durinJ?: the start of a semester. This, however, didn't stop the resourceful NGR in wangling i promise from Father Rector. On the !'"trength of the promise, he paid persistent p;ocial calls on the university hea1l, until the Father Rector gave in (maybe t<1 J?:et rid of the hanJ?:eron) by finally writing the article. R<:!· (,Ullll: the Ctttnlinia11 got the best relieious at·ticle o{ the ~·car.

Every now and then, NGR l'eceive;; a postcard from Japan with postcripts in the following vein: "ConJ?l"atulation for the fine job you mah of the Caro/iilim1." 'fhe signature is thot of Fr. Hoerdemann. The latter Is a man known to be of PxaetinJ? ta!<tcs and not aivcn to pl'aising anybody's work unlc!<s he deserves it. The fil'!<t thinJ? he did when he first took over the cditorshi11 o{ tht> Ca,.oli11ia11 was to give it a different look in the cover, He dropped the staid, conventional school.paper ap· pcarance and took to giving it a frE>sh and cye.plca!<ing effect. He then over·haulcd the usual contents of the paper. To !<pice up the pages, he introduced short, easy.to.read, [J?hthearted and exhilarating eo· lumns about thE' life and the aripE>:. in the campus. The Herbie seriei:: written in the breezy, unbuttoned style of Vicente N, Lim has earned the :accol:ule of nrnny and counts with 11 lot of fanl!. VNL is one of NGR's finds.

I niet Marcia when I came hon1c from school one day and when I saw her, didn't quite come to believe m~· <!yes had seen the thing I saw. She was beautiful but also a sad.Jooking creature. Mother had bro11ght her with her from Manila saying that she was goinp; to stay with us. You can't imagine just how happy I was. But Marcia did not seem to sh.we my enthusiasm, I thou1eht then that sb must have left someone she: clearly loved behind. She remnined silent in the days that followed ... she tried to be alone most of the time. her face to the \'fall, staring at nothing. She looked thin nnd haggard and nlwa1•1t with that worried look . But time tool; care of whatever ~rief Marcia had. After a month or so, she became full of life nnd vigor. She went about the house making friends and i:oon she won cvcryb()· dy"s heart. When I fell for he1-, I cnn't exactly tell . I guess she ju!lt grew on me silentl~· so much like the way nie-ht falls on day. We would takr> long walks together on the grey.co· lored street that spread out into the Page 9 IJ11y a~1d tl"y to fed th~ wind in our facu.

I thought then that all that was ti'<.:· in~ tu i;:o on forcvc1., and that my lite was one stretch of hap1>incss c1ca1· to its end.

She went eagerly about the house ne· vcr knowing of the tragedy that wa$ to come. For tragedy did come an•I when it came, it came with its bloodred robe, its eyes burning like an irl· ferno of pain. It came a day after our arl'ival. A·· us11i:il, we had oul' afternoon walk. When we c:une upon a tin~· cleadn:; thut lead to A headland, I dar<!d Marcia to t·aci? over its broad, steep face that rose high into the air. I noticed that it had already gotten dark and our footinp: would be unsure. So, I was about to withdraw the dare I made, when I saw that Marcia had already started, her graceful body running with the wind. In front of us the rising land curved over. We did not know that it stopped there, we did not know that the hill we were climbir1g was a bluff and wht:1-c it curved it C'ut perpendicularly down into a pile of stones. We did not how that we were running a nee of death .. Marcia's last gesture of love fr.r me was when she shouted an inaudi· hie wnning to me although she wa~ alrendy falling off the bluff, I never saw her after that, Either I didn't have the heart or the cou · raire. lily Aunt sn\v to it that she ha•I a decent burial.

And if w~ .!'hould mention it, majority of those who belong to the unique groUJl which we are writing about were in the thick of the fight at Bataan, A few were in every major encounter in the Pacific. We hand-picked a few names to illustrate our point, out cf the fifty U.S. Veterans cunently l'tl\Clrin'! at USC. We have Sinforo~o Aparis, amiable, soft.spoken, Jlipe-packin' junior of the College of Education who was with the U.S. Navy when the smoke of Naval engagements were thickest. He saw action in th~ naval L>attle of the Coral Sea and A:Iidway, and was on board the USS Astoria which sank in the US land· ing at lhe Sulon1011s. H~ must have a fancy fo:: sinking !<hips fo1· he wa<; rum.in on board the USS Northamp· k·n which was sunk by enemy submarine action. These sinking-s, notwithstandin(?', our nav~·man was still able to join with the landing operations in Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan. Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. For these, he is the reci1>ient of a commendation from President Truman, not te> mention thut he has been awarded with the various medal5 which distinguish him as a loyal and faithful sel'viceman in different the!ltres of operation. Amoni~ the post-graduate student~. we have Enrique Bunales wh" served many good years with the Phili1'J)in1' Scouts. Jesus Pelausa is anothe1·, who was sent once to the United States to undergo some special trainin.e: in chemical warfare. But as we said before, the majo1·ity of the fifty we have around us wel'e in Bataan's thickest fights, and they are former Philippine Scouts who were later inducted into the Army of the United States. Durinir the 18<-t holocaust, they fought under diffel'ent branches of service. They were infantrymen, artillerymen, Me· dicalmen, Signalmen and Engineers (If the U. S ·\rmy. Tli~·irs was a vital role in Philippine Defense. In lhcil' practically unbowed spirits in spite of the privations, miserr, starvation, fatigue, disease and cleath which hover over besiel?ed troops, the j?lory and fame of Bataan arose phnenix-like to be seen ancl admired by the whole world. Not much was i~entioned about their respective units after the war. The newspapers hu~ecl the pronotmce1r(ents of loud and polished mouthpieces which grandiosely extolled minor units who really did not do as much as the Philip1iine Scouts did. But publicity can do better among the reading public than in the battlefields .. Although battles have not been won by words but by deeds and the will to fight. When Romulo said, "I Saw Bataan Fall". he did not mention the PhilipJ>ine Scouts, and the battles they won. Bl1t ask those who were in the battlefields of Bataan while the fight was thickest. They should be sober enough to admit the identity of the "fightingcst'' outfit of them all. We have wandered far from our point, .~ seems, but it has been worth it. The Sc:nior law class has three of them. Oscar Machachor and Mariano del Mar, of the 24th FA, and Primitivo Merales of the 14th Engineers. There is quite a number of them with the h;,w juniors. Restituto Macoy rmd Angel Cimafranca of the 86th FA, Hermilandro Tocrno, Celestino Abai1o, Julian Tuyor, and Asisclo Juezan of the 45th Infantry; and Ri!tObt•rto Tat'-an of the 12th Medical. Among the law sophomores a1·e Emilio B. Aller, current Cai·oli11icm edi· tor and Juancho Amoylen both of the 57th Infantry a rc1.dment which wiped oi1t the enemy in three consecutive Bataan battles before the surrender: battles of Abucay, Lonqoskawayan, :-nd Anyasan. The h\w freshmen don't seem to harbor a U.S. Veteran in. their midst. Class President To1·ibio MaJ"Chan of the Liberal Arts £cnicrs is one from an FA outfit. There :ore a lot more in the other colk;::-cs cf use. Other student vetcrans who are Uncle Sam's wards at USC are Delfin M. Tapalla of the College of Law, rnd Alex Callorina of the College of Education. The last t\~o ai·e some of the members of the celebrated Filipino Regiment who were long-time residents of the U.S. mainland. They were amon:.r the first batch of intclli1?cnce operatives sent all ovC'l' the Southwest Pacific befri·e tit" main American Force invaded th? area. The list is quite long if we hzve t.-. enumerate each one of them. It is jl!st enough that we h·a\'e mrntionecl a rc11rei;entative group. Their pati iotic deeds and lovalt)f to democl'acv during World War II should ans;,.,,er the question why these stu· dents are given benefits and privi- leges. They already have paid in advance for such advantages which they now enjoy in terms of swea';, hardwork, misery and blood durinp: the war-years. They are convinceJ that Uncle Sam is a debtor who nil· ver forgets his just debts, and that he pays gladly with a generosity The NGR Story ... (Continued from page 5) 1·olinian should be kinder to radio people. He was referring to an article in our mag dashed in by VNL which took to task fake Arthur Godfreys with corny quips. Behind the 1·c1>artees were flattering indications that people are reading the Caroli1.ian. Few school organs have drawn and deserved such notices. But what NGR considel'S the biggest plaudits of them all are the scramble and quick sell-out of the copies as soon as they roll off the press. There were times when piles of Cm·olinian copies lay gathering dust and unclaimed in some corner in the library. After NGR tcok over, it was not uncommo!I to hear Father Moderator bawlin~ out the circulation man because there was no copy left for his file. To round up, the success story of the post-war Ca1·olinian is the stol'>' of NGR. The work, imagination and l'esourcefulness of one man inspired hy the Father Moderator and assisted by his staff made our organ really go places. It is to NGR, our onetime editoJ' that we pen this tribute. Fr. Luis E. Schonfeld, the moderator, made vocal his high regard for this man when he said: "He is the finest gentleman I have worked with in a long time. I consider him the most industrious co-operator in every "'l<leavor. It was indeed a pleasure to \•:ork in his company. It was his eaguncss and tireless effort fo make good that kept me going on the job in spite of seemingly insurmountable difficulties. If the Carolinian was 1rood. it was Nap's doing. He deserves pl\ the credit and more". - For everythim? he did to the Cai·olinimi, Father Moderator thought it was time to give the credit due him, now that he has relinquished the editorial wheel with the hope that his succcs:o:ors will profit from his example. nut then, when it was hinted to him thf't the next campus personality write-l'l> would be his, he was shock-•· ed. ·~over my dead bod)•!'' he blurted. Aud yet, there need not be an)' corpse to write finis to our NGR story. For when the hint was dropped on hin1 this issue was on the verge of rollini!' off the press and no indomitable NGR could stop us then. which knows no bounds. The University of San Carlos may ,·ery well be proud of the preference which fifty U.S. veteran!! have shown her in l"nrolling in her colleges. And these Uncle Sam's wat•ds are doubly proud to be called Carolinians worthy ·of the name. ·-----·------j PK tlte KKow-Wlto L-----------~~~·~ _ V1leate Hello there!

Anothc.-r intercstine: i:han1?ing scene W( w~1·c able to diseern in the counc o1 our browsing was the almost heroi( efforts of the enlightened class of Filipinos to be able to acquire the fa· cllity in writing effectively the En· 1•li~h langua"c. This, we w(·re abh to determine by reviewing the issuci1 o( Filipino n ... wspapcrs anrl ma· ~azinl's in Eni:-lish from the earliest as chronologically arranged in thf the USC Prcssroom. Thl' newspapers and tabloi:ls print ed in the hist decade o( the lost cen· tur~· were all in Spanish. We onl} harl a cursory J?lance at their earl) dates while impressed at their pre· · scnce in the collection. We fearc( that our very limited knowledge ol the Spanish language would make us misunderstand and spoil the good intentions of their Wl'iters. We did not like them to turn in their gl'aves. Anyway, freedom of the press was i1ot so sacl'ed in their hey-days as dmut tht' true sentiments and need~ of the Filipinos during the period wue hounded. Rizal, Lopez-Jaena, Plaride\ and the l'est of the illu.o;trious Filipino writer-reformers wrote their lines abroad if not secretly. Naturally, what could hin·e been printed in Filipino newspapers in Spanish during the epoch would be a far-cry or a long-shot of the factm1.l i;entiments of the times to the extent of being artificial and stereotyped. But then, we turned to a happiel' stage of our newspaper history in the file of newspapers and magazines in En'?lish printed during the years of the American regime. At this stage. the printed pages in Spanish gradually thinned out; and conversely, there appeared those in English. The latter were pioneered by the ambitious attempts of a brand-new class of so-called Filipino intellectual.o; who tried their best to get the hang or the new lamruage. They usually indulged in the experimental ui;e of brn1bastic wordi; and inapp1·opriate phrases which to the modern Filipino writer sound ridiculous and flat. But they persevered throughout th? !'Uceeeding yeari; as evidenced by the marked improvement in the newspapers of much later ,·ears up to the present which eame rbout gradually. There is no doubt that the Filipinos immediately fell in love with the En· 1dish language. New writers c1:onped uo increasing the number of thos<? who already had been initiated. In Cebu City, the daily Advertise1·, and the weekly Progress bowed with succef::S to the reading public. The pro· minent ones which appeared in Ma· nila were the Philippines Herald, Manila Daily Bidletin, i1'1atzil<1 Trib1rne; the weekly Graphic, and the Philip1rines Fl'ee P1·es.~; .and the monthly Philippine Magazine. Only the Philippitzes Free Press, the Philippines He1·ald and the Ma11i/a Daily Bulletin have survived them all at present. But new tabloids, newspapers and magazines made their debuts after the last war, and they all add up to our present-day reading It is interesting to note here that Sol. H. Gwekoh, famous Filipino biographer, and our own Cornelio Faigao, nationally known poet and literatus have one time or the other edited the defunct ProgreH weekly with !:!X-Senator Rama, our NGR's J?rand old ma11 ns publisher. Issues of the Pl1ilip1>i1ws Free I'i eBs avail~lile were a drop in th•~ buckl":t to the total number of its prewnr issues. \Ve noticed that the r l"t'-war standards of this magazine ~re much better than its present vintrire. Prolific Leon Ma. Guerrcl'O, Atcnco alumnu.o; was then Jne of its uninent staff£rs. He is considel'ed o"e cf the best writers a11d punsters the Philippines has ever produced. NCJw he is wasting his talents in the Foreit?n Affairs office. The Jap occu1>ation period has a very little sh:i.rc of reading matter in the compilation of the USC P1·ei;s. room. We got hold of a pictoriallyillustrated voiume in the souvenir publication of the Inauguration of the Phili1>pine Republic with Independence Jap-granted. We would rather tr-eat it as a monumenhl work in the art of telling lies, While the genuine aspil'ations of the FilipiMs to become independent il'I grandiosely written about in said public'.3.tion. the ~reat lie and the mockery were outt"11geously illustrated in the ;:ham of the pronouncements of die-hard opportunists and their ilk to the effect that the Jap-granted independence was real and absolute. Now we can • -y "nuts" to the ridiculous way 1hey talked thre>ugh their l:ats. The m11ke-believe sincerity and earnest'Jess in their wot"ds have never de· ceived us who have always been true to patriotic conviction! during those '•·ying years of our existence, even if said puppets tried their best to deceive us while decci\·inj!: th<:mor;C'lves. 'lut the said souvenir publication in 'tself has a relative v11rue to us. It ;s: a 11r.ked reminder of disillusion:. during one of the darkest pages of Philippine history. On the other hand, patriotic publicatiors aµp~·ar<.d during U1e occu11ation Th:!y were published by Capt. C. A. Barba, publication offi<'er, b~ cl'(kr "f tl>e GHQ, Cebu Arca co1n1~1and i.nd. edited by Pedro D.

There al'e so ma1 :y t)'Jlt.5 of l!dvertisements. in the advc1·tising world. A sign-board at 8 1 ;...rson 's place of business gfring nolicto of lottery-tickets being for saJ.: l!:tr~ is an advertisement. The law in many instances requires parties to iulvertise in order to give notice oi acls which ue to be done. An advertisement by a railroad corpora. tion in a newspape1· in the English fanguage of a limitation ol its liability for bag-gage, is not notice to R person who does not understand En.dish. Advertisements have psychological effect on the people. They play upon one's fancy, imagination and on Jll'l'.ctical sense and emotions. It se(ms quite natural that the first notably successful attempts to apply pFychology to the ne<:•ls of the commercial wo1·ld, should have been made in thc field of tidvertisin;. Th·~ '••n<fl"niental purpose of the ndver. tiscrs ii. to influence human minds. Im:.smuch as psycholol?~· iii a simple and systematic :!'tudy of those same minds, the adverti!cr, sct>king 3 ,.,.;.,.ntific basi!'. for his work. must f'nd that bas1 «, in the science of l~i\~·chclo~y. Hut for other reasons l"~n those pertaining to subjec! mattl'l', problems of advertisinir are prculial'l.v open to psychological treatment. The executive, the sales""'"· the labor leader and manv t1olhrrs ne primarily concerned with influt>ndnq human minds, but the "'tlltH of mind which these men h"vc to deal with are all remark;ohly eomplex and. in the present 10ta1?e of science, it i11 extremely difficult to isolate them for 1>urposes of exact observation, The problems of ad•ertising;, on the other hand. .re more simple and consequently more open to exact observation. Perhaps we can give an idea or what applied psycholo"y really is, in no better way than by surveyinJ' ,1. fnt of the psychological principles lo whit>h the successful advertiser pays heed. It stands without saying that an advntisemcnt, in order to be effective, must gain the attention o( those who may· purchase a product thl' merit of which that advertisement sets forth. So the question becomes: "To what kinds of things are r>co11Je most apt to give attention?" The 11sychologist says that, on the whole, people are most apt to pay at. tention to those thin~11 which are novel, eitht>r in themselves or heeause of tht>ir unusual llCtling or rrcscnta · tion. And the 1 >sychologist adds fur· thu that the comparatively prolong<'d attention which people give to the hci\t examples of advertising would not be thus prolong('d, were it not for the fact that those advertisen1enls :1re interestinl'!: ancl easily compre'1<'nde<l. • Thus, ·few unclcl'lying principles (Ji St?curing and holding the attention of possible customers are much <'asier to cite than to put into practice. As a result. a distinct pro· ~·tuion of advertising artists and l'Ofl}'men is growin,(!' up in this 'coun· Ir~' · In experimental psychology, ~hcsc men can find many facts to guide them in making the most of the space at their disposal. The hws of color-contrast, the pleasingness of cutain color combinations 11r.d of figurC?s of cc1·taln proportions. All these have been worked out and mo1 ·e or less organized in the psyrholo1?ical laboratories while adverlising was still appcarin' in its earlier and crude form:\. To gain and hold the attention of the public, is not however, the final purpose of an advertisement. The advertiser aims so to influence the minds of purchasers _that when they are in the market for a cake of soap or an automobile they immediately think of his particular brand of soap or his particular make of automobile. In other words, he must get the idea of the article which he is offering associated with the idea of the class of articles to which it belongs. He1·e again, in this need, he can find psychological facts to guide him in conducting his campaign. For instance the psychologist has established that the strength of the as· sociation, between two ideas depend!! among other things upon frequency, vividnC?ss a nd l'eccncy of the past as· sociation of those same ideas. If. upon thinking of autoniobiles in general, that idea is followed by the idea of some particular n1akc of autoniobile, that sequence of ideas may he due to the fact that of all a uto· mobiles this one has been brought to m}' attention most often by advertisements, by the talks of my friends or by seeing the.actual article. The ~equence may be due equally well to the vividness of a particular exper. iencC? with this machine or to the recency of such an experienee. Still it is one thing to get the pub· lie to think of a particular brand of goods and quite another to get that public to complete the act of buying. Having done? his best to influence men's t houghts, the advertiser must know how to turn those thoughts into action. Let us keep in mind that, an}' thought of an act, tends to result in that act unless it be interferred with by a strong or contrary idea. A smart advertiser must put into the public mind not only an idea of his goods, but also. the idea of purchasing those goods. If his advertisement is to do his selling it must give the public a specific idea of just how and where the purchase can be made. Moreover, if the goods which the advertiser is offering are expensive 01· in a line where the public :\till feels no need, then there arc contra ry ideas already in the public mind which the advettiser must overcome. Often he will have to make use of argument. To do so effectively, he must be familiar with the motives which make one course of action seen1 more favorable than others. He must take into account the instincts and emotions of men and the customers, prejudices and sentiments nf particular groups. Page 22 Short Story By J. P.

"Mac, are )'OU a friend?" "I'm taking you home, Joe." "I'll kill you." "Here's a cup of coffee, black. It will do you good. Get it down your throat and pull yourself together. Blast you, Joe". · No, Joe wasn't just another eus· tomer. That's the reason why 1 didn't heave him out to the stN?et:s. J'v(: known the kid long enough to reacl his life backwards. Only now he's pasted himself down and it's not like him. He doesn't come about this place except on da)'S :;,ff when we're both available and we decide to have fun. I didn't get it. "Okay, Mae, I'm on my way likl' hell out of here," he said. I can't forget the way he pulled himself up that stool. He looked like a ton of steel was hung on his neck. He kept tugging at his hair as if he preferred it wasn't there. He looked like dirt. His shirttail was torn at the sides and his pant!'I no longc: !bowed the crease that was sort of characteristic of his wear. I cun't ima~ine how he g~t ~bout that way. I didn"t notice hi1n when he came in . There were a lot of customers and he got his order from th~ other feltowl'i. I felt I didn't want to let him r:ro.

I thoug-ht I saw something white that he let go when he clutched at a cl:air. Sure enough it was there. 1t wu a piece of crumpled paper with some writings on it. It was pretty badly wet, but I managed to read some of it. It sounded like a Jetter. I didn't have time for it. I was wor· ried about the kid. I took after him. He couldn't gain headway fast. The pavement was slippery and there was just a lamp or two in the Streets. I really felt likl' a heel for the kid. I couldn't do something for him ... I wouldn't, that is.

GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL RENOVATED Page 23 The fint floor of the USC Girls High School edifice has just been re.. modelled and as a result, brought about a change from an impractical mix-up of l'Ooms to an easily-supervised bank of classl'OOms. The second floor also undergoes some changes. It will contain a good-sized laboratory for the use of high school students. There also have been dreams to have a third floor which may be realized by summer. With these plans is contemplated a 1-oof-garden for the same edifice. Such roof.garden will serve, among other3, a great purpose.

LAW DEAN ON III AN ILA. CONFERENCE Dean Fulvio Pelaez announced at the College of Law semin:i.r last March 2, the important matters taken up by the Manila conference of Law deans which he previously attended. It has been decided in said conference that the four-year academ:c course fo1· students of law shall be enforced. Hence, Law students must finish the course in four complete ye8l's, and summer classes will no longer be allowed. However, a resolution has been passed by the Law deans to defer effectivity of prohibition of summer classes until next year as several schools are ::if necessity compelled to offer another summer class in order not to prejudice some thousands of law studenJ:s. Another vital matter taken up was a plan to revise the Law curriculum. Legal English will be added to the curriculum besides other subjects..

The mo!'t d~ p~wfabh hands on art were cmployf;:d to shape out the kind of floats thal <=ven Hollywood might prefe1·. The result3 w1.>rc stupefying. Just to gi"'~ you an idea here's somcthin;;- abou"t those adjudged as first-raters: Th"! M0st Artisti~ Jloat was tha~ one put up by the Girls' High School Dr.pt. Tilere wa~ a big white cro.;> planted on a deck of flowers upo:i whici1 l:;dic.s, beautiful in their piety, sat. You could paint that out as "nature en wheels", Well, that's what Mr. Marcos Morelos thougM when he handed out a pl'ize expressing hi.; 1n·p.isc. The College of Law did a good jol, b~· making a S)'mbolic touch of it. It passed out as Most Expressive float. The Honorable l\Iayor, Miguel Raffiiian, h::.d a pendant made to rcmcmler it by. H was an affair that portrayed the birth of law :md what rrood it has done the people today. A younA" lady garbed in white, a piece of cloth ~vcr her eyes and a balanc'? on one hand. stood in front signifying Justice. Bel'.ind her was an inscription of the Bill of Ri).\"hls cf the Philippines Constitution. At ~he other side was a work-out of Mt. Sin::1i where a representation of God handinii: the Ten Conimandments down to !\-loses was stood by students attired accordingly. Runner-up on the Most Expressive float went in favor of the College of Engineering. They 1mt up the things that stood for their trade: rulers and sketches and whachamacallits. Those gadgets are r~reties to lhe lay-eyes, you know, antl naturalJv cu1·iosity boiled down to a1>pprais91. And nobody said nay. But those three alone did not make up the entire impression on that gala appearance. A lot more masterpieces of local art snaked the rest of the way through the avenues of Cebu which caused the insistent spectators a certain degree of elbowing among themselves and shinning and "ouches!'' when they didn't have to say "Ahhh!" or "Ohhh!". And the 1?oin1? got to be pretty tough for th\'.' ROTC MP's assigned to cordon the public to stay on their sidewalks.· Speaking of the cadets, their participation was exemplary. Credit goes to ROTC Commandant, Maj. Victor Juan, FA; Corps Commander, Cdt, Col. C. Bongalos; and the USC Sword Fraternity. Our only regret was the absence of ticker-tape. Otherwise, Gen. Pi.tlon wouldn't have been more amused. And the evenings in the campus brought splendor as colorlights, music, and fun could wreak. At the feria, wheds wcl'e spun as luck was at stal:c. Darts whizzed in the air i.'l y,et home to little red, white and blue f<quares. Balls cleared the rings, or sent the number of pegs scattering wildly. And the more adventurous took turns out on pellet rifles to set electric bells ringing when the targeters found their mark. These booths were run by the different departments, each determined to out-display the others. Competition, that's the ticket. And that's how the gay time sustained i;in. Prizes w··erc ¢,ven away to tho most arti!:tic booths. The College of '."::duc11tion copped first and became the recq1ient of the Hon. Seraio Osmefia donation, as token of his aclMiration. Another prize went to th" J-f('t"e Economics department exhibit which Mr. Dcmctrio Ja~'mc, <lonor, honoree! with his approval. The Junior Norlllal Traininl? Dept. also did up a remukable display which cornered the prize kindly donated by the Yutivo & Sons Company. The other booth "propl'ietors'' didn't have to gloat over their failure to get a place because, considering C'Cr>nf'mics, well. thev had some de""~itin,.,. nf prncPNls to do to their own coffers and that's a chip back to the expense block. And, now. let's swin'! the lens tl'I our "little Broar\way", audience-capacity: 8,000. That's. speaking of the use open theatre. It operated big enough to possibly produce as a busil'{'SS enterprise, stage show, that is. The set-un was one stroke rif crafti:renius after another, from curtain-: to footlights. But let's get to what was shown. The ordcl' fo1· the three nights weM literary musical programs, two shift<; a night. The main attraction bcinc the one-act plays produced by the teamed departments. Here again. prizes were at hand. Firi:t 1rrizc went to the Pharmac\'-En;rinecrin~ group who put "Educatin':" Jof'~fi nt>'", directed hv Mi~s Eli:r.ii Ortiz. Prh:c donor. Congres~man Filomeno I<int'lnar. Stcond J)]ace, recipient of Mr. Fdix Jochin's awud, was "Father's Birthday," done by the Collci:re of Liberal Arts under the direction of Atty. Mario D. Ortiz. Other high-light numberi: were dance com1ietitions which also were 11redicated with 1irizes. For the second time, the Collet?c of Educatior. showed out finely when the~· placed fint on their "Andalucia" dance di· rccted by Miss M. Martin. Prize donor, Mr. Tirsu Uytengsu. So did lo the Koow-Who (Continued from page 11) crack) she looks pretty-babyish. But when she was atop the U.S. C. Chinese Association float, boy, did she wow ·cm! Ramona Vivera on the Pharmacy float in a very becoming gown made the spectators' eyes as big as flying saucer.-;. Round-the-world beauties were 1ircsented in the Commerce presentation. Each was in her best bib and tucker. Miss Carmen Suico in a Filipino flag attire was quite a flag to sec. Marlyn Young· representing America had to keep the world from fallin~ apart, literally. Miss Adelina Derecho donned on a blue Chinese costume. If ?11 Chinese ladies looked as nice as she, man, you'd better take the high road to China!

H appears that Flor Borromeo and Sally Lao run neck to neck when it comes to the las.t words of fashion. The boys are supposed to 11hooney fai:hion but I know some who have the proper know-how. Greg Ganciionco thumbs down the fancy~crcaming playboys and favors whit~ T-shirts and truhinized shirt:s. They s=>v !Z'irls don't notice what men wear hut as I gathered they do notice.

Si un dia paseando poi· las calles de nuesfra ciudad y por los caminos de n1tesfras camviii.as, p1·eguntdrr;inos a los transeUntos si ellos am.an a Dios, es senuro que la maymia, si no todos, contestarian a.ffr'mativamente: ve1·0, id6nde estd la p1'Ueba de ese am.or?

El mundo cristiano, eon el Pastor Supremo al frente, hizo oir su palabra de protests y execraei6n por la infamia del proceso y lo inaudito de la condena, pero los sicarios .de Moscil friamenfa y desafiando con vesAnica altaneris el sentir del mun ') civilizado, eumplieron lo que estal.J l C1rdenado, hundiendo en la ellrcel al heroico Cardenal que nfront6 eon I .t mlis sercna y cristiana altivez la tremenda sentencia, saerifieiindose por !!U fe Y poi· su ministerio.
