If you can’t buy tickets to the game…

FluidShale 2007.10.04: Not everybody can buy tickets to the DLSU-UE game, so again we resort to another video of those who watched at Z2. This time, though, it’s outside – and a bigger game, it is. Will the Archers topple the Warriors for the first time this season? Malia didn’t immediately think so. However, after the video was shot she hoped her prediction wouldn’t come true – and indeed, it didn’t, by one foul shot. This is how noisy it gets. And, of course, there was the surprise that our very own Carlo Cruz was the telecast’s face of the day. The lines for the second game was very long – it snaked to the Central Plaza and never got shorter – but you can’t expect this crowd in school on Sunday, sadly.

Different class hours for the third term

It is pushing through – pilot testing for the proposed standardization of class hours, in light of the transformative learning system DLSU has adopted two years ago, will begin in the third term this school year. This would mean the implementation of the four-day class week, as considered by the administration during the past few terms.

Academics vice president Nicole Villarojo, in a letter to the student body, explained that there is also a belief across most of the faculty that “learning in the classroom may be furthered given a 1.5 hour class period.” This was also a major consideration for the plan, aside from the saving the school would incur in operational expenses such as utilities.

There will be a press conference open to all students within this term, headed by academics assistant vice chancellor Agnes Yuhico.
