UP CURSOR as an organization has always taken great pride in both its scholastic and extra-curricular achievements. CURSOR members both hold and participate in academic, programming, artistic, and sporting competitions, and even hold several socially relevant activities.

For this reason, we will hold Double Vision: the CURSOR Party as the culminating event of CURSOR Week, in order to represent UP CURSOR’s dual vision of both academic excellence and social service. The event will serve as a venue for members and non-members to unwind and make sure that CURSOR’s 22^nd year celebration ends with a bang. It will be held on the night of September 2, 2005, Friday. The night features Stonefree, Radioactive Sago Project, Giniling Festival, UP Dharma Down, and our very own CURSOR Bands; it is open not only to the organization’s hundred-strong list of members, but as well as its many alumni and anyone who wishes to share in the revelry.

As such, we invite you to share in our celebration and join us in touching as many lives as possible.

Academic Excellence. Students are encouraged to study and attain University Scholar and College Scholar statuses. Those who are graduating are also encouraged to graduate with honors. Also, we would really appreciate it if you can submit your Math, CS, Physics, and other Engineering exams with a grade of 90% or better at the “EXAM IN” box at the CS Department. Please make sure that your exams are properly signed by your respective instructors. You can collect your exams at the “EXAM OUT” box at the CS Department.

Extracurricular Activities. Activities such as the Freshmen Week, Engineering Week, Engineering Cup, CS Week, Student Council Elections, Dean’s Hour, and College Outreach Program entail participation from both students and faculty members. You are encouraged to join in these activities in order for us to garner merits for ELE.

Special Awards. If you happen to have won or participate in academic competitions outside the college and/or university, you are requested to submit or report this to any of the CS Representatives or to the staff of PARSER. These competitions include university competitions, regional competitions, national competitions, and international competitions.

After setting up and waiting for the crowd to get bigger, Dino Lacdan and Geomar Lubaton, the event’s hosts, settled down the people and got the party going. The event was started by an opening speech by the past department chair Dr. Ronald Tuñgol then was followed by the “Modified Human Photograph” game. In this game, the grad students were asked to group into threes and test their creativity and acting skills by depicting scenes like “Nasuntok ng lasing sa may Mcdo…” and “Nagkakram sa thesis….”

Next was the much awaited dinner! Thanks to the gourmet skills of Michael Lee, an HRIM student in CSB, a delectable buffet of peppery stuffed pork roulade and fried chicken with béchamel sauce appeased approximately 80 hungry tummies of the people who attended that night. The food was good for 100 persons but there were few leftovers.

Fit to the occasion, Mr. Ryzaldi Acmad Moti a Chief Operating Officer of 25by8 shared a talk on the quality of UP CS graduates. This gave our graduates an idea on how to survive life after graduation. Ms. Joyce Avestro, president of the CS Alumni Association, introduced the association to the graduates and asked them to swear an oath to it. She also announced Georgino Adriano and Ma. Christina Olpoc as the voted Batch Representatives. They will be in charge of contacting their batchmates in upcoming events like alumni homecomings.

Awards and Recognitions were given to the cumlaudes and magna cumlaudes of the batch. Finalists in the Undergraduate Research Competition were also recognized.

            The highlight of the evening was the tribute for the graduates. Sighs and laughters filled the room as the screen flashed photos of their freshmen year, their barkada pics, thesis presentation, etc. It reminded them their stay in UP, their ups and downs, and the challenges they will meet as they welcome the real world. Ms. Joyce Avestro surprised everyone as she bid them goodbye with a song number.

The party was officially ended by Mrs. Susan Pancho-Festin around 10 pm and the to-be-graduates were off to their own gimmicks and get togethers.
