USC Intramurals and the Boring Emcee!

That lady emcee (her long list of mistakes registered more in my mind than her name) during the Univerisity of San Carlos Intramurals opening and closing programs truly sucks! She claims to be one of the hosts of the GMA7 Cebu-based show "Oi!". Why she sucks?

• 1. She was never fluent in English! Many at times she was at loss for words and could never find the right words for her boring adlibs.
• 2. She began promoting her 'oi!" show and students started a loud "booo!" Did that mean Carolinians are "Kapamilyas"?
• 3. She said "The winner will receive 2500 trophy and a sash.." What? If someone would give me 2500 trophies, I will never receive them. Or maybe I'll take one and give the rest to her!
  
• 4. She laughed at her mistake when she couldn't pronounce the simple word "adjudicator", which simply means "judge".
• 5. She addressed each pop-jazz dance team as a "contestant". Huh! Review your grammar, babe! She said like "The next contestant is...." and then 12 or so team members came out. Giggles were heard from the audience. She did that more than 10 times!
• 6. After a dance number from a team having a colorful costume, she commented "The University has many colorful students...." Huh!
• 7. While introducing one of the judges, who happened to be an ABS-CBN staff/talent, she boisterously laughed. Too belittling an act!

Why couldn't USC choose a better one? Last year was better, it was a pair!

USC Foundation Week 2006

Message from the President
We celebrate USC foundation Week once again, this time with the theme Living the Word, Shaping the World.

Our mission as an academic institution is to shape the world according to the mind and in the spirit of the Divine Word who became human like us. Under His guidance, we teach to learn and share what we know and who we are with the world that ever needs God’s presence. It is not an easy task, but with the word, it is not impossible.

Our companionship with Him and our presence in the world we affirm and celebrate. Foundation Week is remembering when we started as an academic institution but also why it is we exist. What it is we must do, and who we consider our guide, our foundation, our hope: Jesus the Divine Word.

Come, celebrate with us.

FR. RODERICK C. SALAZAR, JR., SVD
University President
