CURSOR Seizes 4th Place in FOPC Rankings
By Tristan Jed Roque (http://teejay.i.ph)
Two of the oldest organizations of the CS Network, UP CURSOR and UP CompSoc, along with 16 other Engineering-based organizations, participated in this year’s Freshmen Orientation Program Committee (FOPC 2005), with CURSOR placing an impressive fourth among all participants.
To shoulder the costs of holding the numerous FOPC projects, the 81 FOPC member organizations fulfilled minimum requirements such as a certain number of kilos of newspapers and white papers, t-shirt orders, and tambay hours, all translating into points for each org.
After the first half of the tambay month, UP CURSOR emerged on top with a commanding lead of some 25,000 points. At the tally’s end, CURSOR finished fourth overall, behind first-placer UP Statistical Society, and was ranked second best among all Engineering organizations, trailing IE Club.
Being part of the top seven in this year’s race for FOPC chairpersonship, UP CURSOR, which is one of only five FOPC member orgs whose total consolidated points reached the six-digit mark, will be part of the FOPC Steering Committee next year.
The FOPC is the umbrella alliance of various recognized organizations in UP Diliman. The FOPC took charge, together with the Office of Guidance Counseling, of welcoming about 3,000 freshmen last June. The FOPC held a series of events for freshies this year, such as the free film showing of “Closer” and free concert named “Freshteeg!”
Through the FOPC block bidding, UP CompSoc and UP CURSOR handled the G-11 and G-10 CS blocks, respectively.
