'Carolinian Conspiracy' hailed in Tangub City book launching
Tangub City Mayor Jennifer Wee-Tan jokingly alluded to what she termed a "Carolinian Conspiracy" as she beamed with pride at the launching yesterday of the coffee table book entitled "Tangub City On the Crossroads of Change". The mayor, one of the University's Most Outstanding Alumni last year, was referring to the role a team of USC alumni played in the production of the first-ever book about the city's history, culture and its people.
Pascual Emelio Pascual signs the first copy of the book.
Fr. Pres. Roderick C. Salazar, Jr., SVD purposely postponed a trip outside Cebu to be able to express his felicitations and pride at the work produced by the team led by Pascual Emelio S. Pascual, chair of the Department of History and the editorial director and head researcher of the book project.
The book was written by accountancy grad and Sun-Star columnist Melanie T. Lim. Photography was carried out by business administration grad and professional photographer Ted Madamba. Marine biology grad and Cebu Daily News writer Boboy Costas provided overall book conceptualization assisted by political science grad and Cebu Daily News layout artist Jet Garigade.

The University of San Carlos has been carrying out collaborative ventures with Tangub City following the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement in 2004 to assist the city in its march to progress. The Department of History has been actively carrying out a massive cultural mapping program there while the Department of Architecture has sent students and faculty to help develop models for tourism and heritage areas of the city. USC is also helping in the curricular programs of the City College of Tangub.
Tangub City's amabassadors of dance, the Sinanduloy Cultural Troupe, choreographed by Pascual, has constantly wowed Cebuanos for their sterling award-winning performances in the Sinulog Free Interpretation Category, where it was held the Championship award since 2000.

Kalatong or Karatong have dancers use kalatong or bamboo tube about a yard long, tied horizontally below the waist and struck by two sticks to tap the rhythm of the dance. there are two dances - The Tobong Kalatong, from Pangasinan, which is a ceremonial dance performed to frighten the evil spirits away.
Bunga Mangga, from Cuyo, Palawan, is a part of the Karatong in which dancers collect flowers from the mango tree - thus the bunga mangga contraption.

ASEAN and Sto. Nino holidays announced
A memorandum released by the University President today, January 5, 2007, outlined the holidays related to the ASEAN summit and the Feast of Sr. Sto. Niño.
There will be no work and no classes in all levels and in all campuses on Friday, January 12 and Monday, January 15, 2007. January 13 and 14 are considered as part of the long weekend.
This is in accordance to Presidential Proclamation 1208 signed by Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita which declares January 12 and 15 as special non-working days in the cities of Cebu, Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu.
According to the USC President's memorandum, the holding of Saturday classes on January 13 is left to the discretion of teachers and students considering "sufficiency of academic matter discussed and the practicality of coming to school with ASEAN traffic restrictions imposed."
On a related development, USC has been invited to sponsor the Holy Mass on Monday, January 15 at 2:30 p.m. at the Sto. Niño Template. This schedule remains unchanged. January 15 is also the Feast Day of St. Arnold Janssen, the Founder of the Society of the Divine Word.
On January 20, work and classes shall be only until 12:00 noon to allow those who wish to join the Sto. Niño procession to adequately prepare for it.
Finally, Monday, January 22, shall be a free day and will serve as the study day for college students who will have their midterm examinations on January 23-27, 2007. Staff from the Finance Office will be ready to serve students who wish to pay their midterm dues on this day.
