One time ACAS decided to issue ID’s to its members. In line with this and maybe other things I don’t recall, the club’s officers decided to host a competition to find a logo. The rules were simple: 1) any student or group of students may submit an entry; 2) a student may cast a vote for an entry after paying a price; 3) a student may vote any number of times basta may pambayad; and 4) the entry with the most number of votes wins.
I was not a member of ACAS but, as mentioned earlier, any student at the school may submit an entry. I and D submitted a coat of arms-looking logo. With the support of our batchmates (cheers to Keir for being our biggest sponsor), our entry easily secured the popularity contest. Or so we thought.
Out of the blue somebody, probably an officer, from ACAS thought it would be better to let the faculty members vote on the entries. A student organization had let the faculty to choose the icon that would represent itself. Anyway, our teachers elected that our entry was not good to represent ACAS and another team emerged as winner.
We must train ourselves to notice the details, so that we can be aware of existing occurrences and its causes. –Dwight (oo, sya si D)
Mind you, I had nothing against our amazing high school teachers. What happened just feels weird now that I am in Diliman. It reminds me of the BOR members who intervene with student representation and those who voted "no" during the student referendum. Tsaka, what the hell, gumastos si Keir para sa wala? Parang TOFI lang ah.
More Info:
- ACAS was no more the following school year. Tawa na lang kami.
- Keir became a good Supreme Student Government prexy in our senior year.
- Our high school celebrates its Foundation day on a congressman’s birthday.
