All Hail, Student Democracy!

788 students took part in the decision-

making in may be one of the most controversial

turning points in UEPL history (if it is legal to

over-dramatize what happened that morning).The students hardly had any idea what the as-

sembly was about minutes before it started and

what in the world were the UEP-Main folks in

pseudo-formal outfits doing in the campus. But

when the issue was posed, opinions were raised

as well as eyebrows.

Amid the murmur of a random class of

students from all colleges, in the confusion of

opinions, questions, gossip and nonsense chit-

chat, Prof. Obleopas have succeeded in elabo-

rating the issue guided by her restating whythere was a resolution of changing the July

elections to March (and that Rino Sabarre, a

former student regent, proposed of this long

ago to the BOR and was approved and that

when the USC have already concurred and have

had the Dean of Student Affairs sign for OK but

One sophomore student strutted down the aisle

to announce that she favors having special elec-

tions in July and regular elections in March and

added that some officers do not deserve their

positions. Another student in the senior year fa-vored in retaining the July elections and reasoned

that two elections in a school year will only be-

come a financial burden since almost all school

expenditure are picked from students pockets.

Prof. Obleopas explained that July elections and

March elections in one school year will only hap-

pen once and July officers will serve as transition

officers to pave the way for the March elections.

There was one inquiry that if the elections

would be moved to March, what would happen if

the student who is elected failed to enroll the

next semester? Joan Alvaiz (current student

regent and FSC President) emphasized that in

taking to consideration that kind of responsibility,the student must contemplate before deciding to

run. Of course, representing the student sector is

not for fame or selfish gain since the essence of

student leadership is serving your fellow students.

She advised that if the student wishes to run,

he/she must be financially capable and assure

that next semester he/she will hang around (at

least, this was what she pointed out).

None among those students who chal-

lenged the microphone ever picked option #3 (if

interpretations are appropriate to be expressed in

this feature, this could mean none of them de-

sired the current officers to extend their terms or

none wanted to speak out afraid to be criticized

The concept of liberty to students is that

they have the right to participate in all affairs

that concerns them. They have the right to ex-

press, to choose, to join and get involved, to

comment, to suggest, to oppose and even react

vehemently to any matter as long as it does not

violate human rights. That is why, to further de-

mocratize this liberty about student leadership

(particularly the concerns in the USC), Prof. Ro-

mula Obleopas (in charge of the University Publi-

cation and Media Affairs in UEP) with the FSC

(Federation of Student Councils) and the Pillar

(UEP student publication), offered the studentsthree options upon which date shall they favor to

have the USC elections: (1) to have the elections

in July; (2) to have special elections in July but

have the regular elections in March; or (3) to

have no special elections but have the regular

elections in March.

(In February 2005, a resolution was pro-

posed to move the July elections to March be-

cause there was an inability of the officers to

meet during semester and summer vacations, no

one represents for the student sector in summer,

and if the officerparticularly in the FSCis a

senior, he/she is nullified when he/she graduates

and may no longer represent the student sector

in BOR meetings which occasionally takes place

on summer periods.)

still they had the elections in July), she and the

student body had resolved to deal with it once

and for all.

She has had presented the pros and cons

of each option cautious not to miss any detail

in that she might be misunderstood. She even

suggested of not speaking in the L2 (English

language) anymore since they were all Filipinos

but continued speaking it almost all the way.

The advantage of having the July elections

(45 days after the first day of classes) is that

soon after the enrolment the students can

exercise their right to vote. However, new stu-dents will have fewer opportunities in assess-

ing the student leaders who will run. This may

also disrupt classes since school has just

started but according to Prof. Obleopas [humo-

rously] elections would not at all disrupt

classes since students who are in classes would

prefer to be disrupted. On the other hand, the

advantages of March elections (45 days before

the end of classes), the students will have al-

most the school year to assess the student

leaders even it would take months before they

could ever vote. For the candidates, they may

have enough time to prepare for the elections

and, if elected, they will have ample time toplan for activities for the next school year and

develop harmonious relationship among the

officers. However, students in their senior year

are not eligible to run and students are prepar-

ing for their final examinations.

Tensions evidently heated up as the stu-

dents raise their opinions and take sides and

share their views. Students presented their

arguments when that portion actually was

intended to make inquiries about the matter.

The students advocated the concept of free-

dom of expression and liberty was in the air.

or they just love July for traditions sake).

After all that pre-luncheon sort-of-debate,

everyone is decided and hungry to cast their

votes. Students in white, yellow, tangerine,cream, dark and light blue clustered outside the

P.E. Center in assorted files eager to sign so that it

can finally be done with. The UEP-Main student

representatives assisted in conducting this event.

There were three sheets of paper on tables, each

inscribed with MARCH, JULY AND MARCH and

JULY. Everyones goal was to put their names on it

and sign and take off so they may have their

lunch. It was a mass of different minds and stand-

points, and for libertys sake, they filled the path-

ways to a future of student leadership they want

to see.

On Tuesday, June 28, 2011, four days after

the referendum, the votes were tallied. This wasthe moment the students have all been waiting

for. And after constant discussions and self-

induced prophesies of what will be the result, USC

President Georgette Irinco with Georgie Parane

(OSA-UEP Laoang), came back to the campus from

UEP-Main, their faces relieved in such political

grace, with the copy of the summary of the refe-

rendum result. July regular elections won the

favor of the students and Laoang greatly consti-

tuted the grand total of votes.

Majority wins.

By Leona Grace Mendoza

Do you remember when you were

dos and donts of the freshman year.

There are five very important thin

you should make sure do: make frienbring with you your own favorite stuffgadgets; memorize your schedule; doput all your books in your backpacks; aearly develop an effective study habit.

The first thing Id like to talk about

making friends. In order to make friend

highly advice you to join clubs, orgs

sports teams which you are interested

so you can meet people who have sa

interests as you. This will also break the i

when you first meet them because of t

fact that both of you are sharing the sa

interests.

Another way to make friends is to

open to new people and new ideas b

cause there are a lot of various types

Volume I no. 1

Lack of practice. She ad-

vised everyone to get a

partner or a best friend to

talk with in English and also

speak the language at home.

She also said that stu-

dents should not just con-

centrate on academics butalso on extracurricular activ-

ities like dancing and singing

clubs and other organiza-

tions to develop their total

personality.

Since you are now a

part of this family, see to it

that you will not forget what

Next, Id like to share with you th

mere coincidence]

Kriing!! Kriing!! Kriiiiing!!

Loud words came out of my cell phone as it vibrated to wake me up

from my crazy subconscious world.

(Yawn!) Whoa! I almost forgot... its the last day of enrolment, and I

havent had my registration form assessed at the accounting office. Now

is my last chance. I have to accomplish this today or else I will be charged

for my late registration on Monday. Its okay if I wont be able to pay at

the cashier today; my main target is to get my fees assessed.

teeth, and do other grooming rituals.

It was seven oclock when I arrived at school. Shocked upon seeing

the administration building filled with over a hundred people, I ran as

fast as I could to catch up with the line. Every minute the numbers would

increase. If I were a little bit later than 7 oclock, the place would have

been filled with even more students.

The last one on the line was me. I was quite worried that my form

was not meant to be assessed that day with people that many. But... I

cant stop now since Ive already gone this far. Why should I waste it? So

I waited... and waited... I saw no familiar faces in the vicinity, so I was

silent and alone. I started thinking. I remembered my dream earlier that

morning. I was bothered with the horrible faces I saw... what if it was

truethat the people here before me looked like psycho killers?... ah!What a lousy thought... its just a dream anyway... but although it was a

Its 4 oclock already...

and my eyes said, hoy!

and to my surprise, our

yard was filled with lots of

people. All of them fell in

line towards... uh... what

were they falling in line

for? psst! Ananu an iyo

ginpipilahan? I said. The

guy turned to me as I

talked. I was shocked to

see his face. It was terrify-

ing like those faces of kill-

ers from horror movies having their eyes look as if theyre bulging out of

their cages. A little scared, I went on and followed the line to its starting

point to see what that was all about. I approached the person at the

table facing the line. Excuse me, kanan anano ini didi nga pila? The

busy person looked up to me, and I saw the same face that frightened me

a while ago. Without hearing a word from the guy, I just turned awayand went back to our house. As I paced, I noticed that the people in line

were wearing the same faces as that of the two guys I had seen. It terri-

fied me so much, that I ran as fast as I could towards our house. I went in

and I saw my mom busy doing something in the kitchen. I approached

her and she turned to me. My heart pounded so loud when I saw her

facethose bulging eyes, and... That grin... is like that... o-of a k-k-

killer!! I said to myself. Aaaah!!

(Poof!!)

It was just a dream. I thanked God I woke up. I went to the kitchen

and drank some water. The place looked just like in my dream, but there

were no more negative vibes which were there in my dream. Every-

things fine. I went to the living room and watched television. The clock

on TV said that its already 6:30.I remembered that I have to accomplish my form at the accounting

office that day. I quickly ran into the bathroom and hurried to take a

line! If I go, then the chances of my being assessed will be even smaller.

So I decided not to heed the call Ohmy stomach is aching. I feel like

its going out. So I walked out of the line and out of the campus as fast

as I could.

As I rode the tricycle home, I felt something going out. I farted. The

cool wind that was blowing on me gave me goose bumps. My sweat feltso cold and icky and I felt so unwell. Arriving home, I dashed into the

comfort room and there, I had an eruption and oh, it felt so good! I

wanted to go back to school, hoping that my goal would still be attained

but my stomach was still aching. So I decided to stay, assuming that

there would be incoming eruptions other than the recent one. I changed

clothes, sat on the couch, and watched TV.

Every word that came out of the television was just a mere sound to

my ears. I couldnt help thinking about what had happened. Was it really

my faultmy fault that our schedule of enrolment happened to be the

last two days of the official registration period? But I couldnt blame the

administration for that. They just wanted the enrolment to be systematic

thats why they have scheduled certain enrolment days for every class.

As for me, Im just one of the unlucky ones. Just one of those who expe-

rienced a situation so bad so bad, that its more than a nightmareHow I wish none of this ever happened.

ble. The first semester is a battle of stres

depression and anxiety especially for co

lege freshmen. It is because of the trans

tion from high school to college. Th

changes in the teaching approaches of hig

school to college add pressure to fresh

men. In high school, the teachers are th

ones who are feeding up all the informa

tion to their students while in college thprofessors are just the ones who mak

briefings about the subjects or topics an

you as the students are responsible i

feeding up yourselves the necessary info

life is more on self-studying. So as fresh

men its quite necessary to develop a goo

study habit earlier for you to cope up wit

the schools academic approach.

Making your own guidelines in stud

order to survive the year, you must lear

some basic rules and try to stick with the
