USC Pop Jazz Competition 2008

As always, the Pop Jazz Competition was the highlight of the USC's Intrams closing event. You can be the judge yourself. Which one you think was declared the best pop jazz team this year? Watch the videos and I'm quite certain you'd guess the right team who won first place.

[warning: someone in the video says "oh my God, sukol (opps, so cool) all the time]

USC Intellectual Property Policy

The University of San Carlos will draft the "1st USC Intellectual Property (IP) Policy". This is in response to a national directive for schools to adopt strict policies protecting rights to intellectual property.

Atty. Andrew Michael Ong, former architecture and law faculty and a noted IP expert, said that USC students and faculty produce a body of knowledge that is a very good source of intellectual property. Ong said that there have been lots of material being shared to people free of charge and that rule has to change.

Everyone has to be aware on the importance of protecting USC's original ideas.
