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.

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

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
idea ofbringing your favorite stuff or ga

two weeks of classes are the most borinweeks. Aside from the fact that usual
most of the classes on those days are n

know few people and you dont have a
friends yet to get along with. So the be

The third thing I want to tell you i
about memorizing your schedule. This i

can manage your own time. You wont bpanicking in the hallways just to get to you

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.
bath. I was rushing that I wasnt able to eat my breakfast, brush my
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...

Zzzzzzzzzzzz...
I heard some noises,
noises that came from a
crowd. I went out to check
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

was number two!! Oh,

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
mation about the topics. In school, colleg
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
ing can help you throughout this phase. I
order to survive the year, you must lear
some basic rules and try to stick with the
for the next few years of studying. Yo
have to be prepared to do some work, bu
also have fun when youre at it. Remembe
that what you learn during these few m
morable years will most likely stay with yo
for the rest of your life.
Well, these are just five simple tip
