Memorandum No.11:Survey of Professorial Chairholders To: All Chancellors, Deans, and Directors
I request your help in updating our files on professorial chairholders and recipients of faculty grants with current ap- pointments.
Attached is a computer printout of your faculty members who, according to our files, hold current appointments to profes- sorial chairs and faculty grants. I request you to correct the data onthe computer printout itself (using blue ink or red ink)
The computer printouts are supposed to give the following in- formation: NAME of recipient, RANK, START DATE and END DATE of his or her appointment (in the YY/MM/DD format), An- nual HONORARIUM, TERM of appointment (how often appoint- ment is renewed: use "P" to indicate the situation where a chair has been permanently assigned to the faculty member), NAME OF DONOR, START DATE (when the chair was first donated to U.P.J, CHAIR TYPE (E means chair is funded by an Endowment while A means chair is funded by Annual contribution), FUND LO- CATION, and DURATION of the chair (where P means the chair has been donated permanently to U.P. while a number such as
"2"means the donor is committed only for two years).
Please supply any missing information, add new names whom we might have missed, and correct all information already on the printout. Indicate also any special problem (such as the problem ofchairholdersnot getting their honorarium on time or not at all).
PLEASE SUBMIT THE CORRECTED FORMS (EVEN THOSE WITH NO CORRECTIONSI TO THE M.I.S. UNIT AT THE COMPU- TER CENTER. We request you to submit the forms back by Tues- day, July31.Any specific questions may be directed to Mr. An- tonino Valencia of the MIS Unit (PABX 498 or PLOT 97-20-50).
Let me take this occasion to remind you that, as a general rule, central administration waits for the initiative of your unit in the appointment or renewal of appointment orchairholdersand reci- pients of faculty grants. Please submit to us your recommenda- tions with a lead time of at least3months. Professorial chairs and faculty grants are a very scarce resource in the university and we want to fully utilize whatwealready have. We also welcome your suggestions on the matter.

Memorandum No. 12: Updaling lhe List olthe University's Real Properties
To: All Chancellors, Dean, Directors, and Heads of Units The University is keen on updating the list of its real properties - to make it complete with titles. survey reports, status reports, and other documents pertinent to the University's ownership over those land grants and tracts. It would be well for us to always have all the necessary documents on hand. whether to establish or defend a claim or for whatever reason that may present itself.
Your cooperation is requested in this effort. The result could mean the difference between security of ownership and piecemeal loss of territory due to spurious but irrefutable claims by outsiders.
Please submit those papers requested (or copies of them) to this Office through the Office of Legal Services as soon as possi- ble, but no later than September 15. 1984.

Memorandum No. 15: Beta Sigma Fraternity and all U.P.Student Organizations
The University of the Philippines hereby withdraws recoqni- tion of the Beta Sigma fraternity and announces that it shall henceforth adopt and enforce administrative policies to ensure the safety of all applicants to all U,P. student organizations, frater- nities in particular.
All official recognition of the Beta Sigma fraternity is dropped.
It is banned from participating or being present at any University activity in any campus for the next five years. For that same length of time, the organization is forbidden to use any University facility.
All the officers of the Beta Sigma for 1983·84 as wall-as those for 1982-83 have been issued a preventive suspension order for
thirty (30) days pending the outcome of investigations on the case' of Mr. ArbelR.Liwag.
Mr. Liwag was a sophomore student, a fresh initiate into the Beta Sigma fraternity, who underwent an extremely brutal haz- ing session last June 18-19 and died June 25. 1983.Itwas for Mr.
Liwag a final. fatal rite of initiation.
The UP Administration is constrained to take whatever ad- ministrative steps it can to curb the activity of the student orqani- zation in question and to prosecute the case through its Student Disciplinary Tribunal. These are now being done, and rigorously so. with the twin ends in view of maintaining the peace and up- holding justice.
From now on, atl fraternities, sororities, and student organiza- tions must seek written permission from the Vice-Chancellor for Student Affairs before they can conduct initiation rites. whether in orout ofthecampus. Wedo not mean by this to expose all trad- itionally secret rites to scrutiny; we merely wish to keep tabs on all students about to engage in potentially hazardous activity.
In this regard, the University enjoins faculty advisers of stu- dent organizations to assume the responsibility they ought to for the activities of those organizations. They should exercise grea- tervigilance over their "wards", as it were. They should intervene in their doings whenever necessary. They cannot always stand passive, hesitant, effete and ineffectual.
While it is undeniable that UP fraternities have done much in the past to enhance the prestige of the Universltv. it is evident nowadays that so much more of what are being done by some of them confirms the public view of their notoriety. It is time that the University does something extra to protect them - and the pub- lic - from themselves.

Mrs. Edwina Koch Arroyo 21 lIongot Street La Vista, QuezonCity Dear Mrs. Arroyo:
I hase the pleasure of acknowledging yourgenerous donation in the form of creative services amounting to Two Hundred Twenty Three Thousand Five Hundred Pesos to the University during its Diamond Jubilee Celebration.
Your offer to render free professional design services to the University speakshighly of your deep concern for the institution which had a hand in preparing you for a successful career. You could not have chosen a more fitting way of repaying your Atme Mater than bysharing your talent and time to help focus wide- spread attention on its commemoration of its 75th year.
The audio-visual materials, memorabilia items and publica- tions. you meticulously designed and executed certainly strengthened our appeal for alumni support to the University in its moment of crucial need.
As you know, the University has received a total of'P83 Min pledges under the OJ Faculty Development Fund, exceeding our original target of 'P75 M. The proceeds from the memorabilia items and the IMC Coffee Table Book will also realize additional income for the University.
In behalf of the University Community, I would, therefore, like to express our warmest thanks and appreciation for your endur- ing contribution to the Diamond Jubilee Celebration.
With all good wishes.

Dear Minister Alba:
We wish to follow-up our request for the release of '12.9 M out of the Salary Adjustment Fund forthe payment of the10%sal- ary adjustment announced by President Marcos effective1May 1984and governed by NCC No.27.We understand our papers are now with B-1.
The National Accounting Office has studied our financial status and recommended the above funding on the basis of their findings that the U.P. has no savings available to use for the pur- pose.
In the meantime. however, that our papers are being proces- sed, our employees are clamoring forthe prompt payment otrhe salary adjustment for many other agencies except U.P. personnel have long received theirs. We have been reliably informeojthat amounts from the Salary Adjustment Fund may not as vet'be av- ailable as of this time .
In view of these circumstances and upon consultation with OBM technical staff up to the Deputy Ministers level. we have
been advised it is possible for us to request an advance release out of our fourth quarter allotment and CDC to enable us to fulfill President Marcos' promise. This request for advance is on the un- derstanding that the amount advanced will be returned to U.P. on or before the fourth quarter of1984.
We hope this will merit your kind and prompt consideration and approval.
