The cleanliness of their moves,organizationofthe tosses and attractiveness of the costumes were their inputs closing the chance for other units to be the champion.

i c t o r s w e r e ultimately happy while the ones left behind were cheerless and challenged. Various college units may have felt disappointed or may have been in high spirits. Amidst the mixed emotions that enveloped involved people, this year’s Intramurals was undeniably successful as it for once more rolled down the red carpet for the ever undefeated and unconquered overall and extra-curricular division champion, College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA).Conquering seven out of 17 events, Risen Legends maintained their selves on throne and remained undisputed, leaving the other six units as it paved its way to championship. Legends reigned in the pageant as its student representative John Ronald Seno was crowned Mr. MUST. Legends also claimed victor in men’s division of Basketball, Badminton and Dart and grabbed the same title in Chess women’s division. They were also the overall winners in Amazing Race and Band Competition. Though crowned as the champion, Legends really had a hard time hitting the target point as the College of Policy Studies, Education and Management (CPSEM)
S a t e l l i t e campuses also did not let themselves be left behind. The Oroquieta Campus grooved to the top as they championed Volleyball, both men and women category. The Panaon campus dominated in Fiesta Games and Sepak Takraw,mencategory.The Jasaan Campus, on the other hand, hit the target spot as they champed Dart, women category.

heerdancing has long been an effective C medium to motivate the athletes and the audience. The audiences and athletes felt alive while seeing the cheerdancers’ awesome stunts as they, too, feel the lingering fear and excitement whenever a dancer is hurled in the air. Everyone participates – be it the cheerdancers, the athletes, or the viewers – in his or her own way. Everyone was out of breath and excited for the talents to clash once again on the dance floor. Here are the chronological details of each unit for the information of everyone.
Rise of the Legends
With the black and white motifoftheiroutfit,theCollege ofEngineeringandArchitecture (CEA)cheer-dancersstartedthe competitionshowingoffwhat they have practiced for weeks. Theyemphasizedtotheviewers how tough this competition wouldbebyhavinga“booming” start; clearly making the point that they are not there to lose this competition. Even though they placed 3rd, they gave memorable moments to the audience who watched their performance. Maybe, with a little bit more pour of their best movements to touch the taste of the judges, they will rise from their current state and be legendary in the Intramurals cheerleading competition.
Roar of the Tigers Lastyear,theOroquietaCampusWhite Tigers did not participate in the Cheerleading competition. So, you can imagine the “whoa” for some old students because they just popped-in for this year’s cheerdance. Still, the audience did not fail to praise the confidence of their cheer captain because of his energetic performance. Wearing blue jerseys for the boys and blue outfits for the girls, they had their few lifts and tosses, and more of their performances on the floor. They placed last in the competition, but they will not be discarded for attention because they sure gave their all to the audience. Maybe if the White
Tigers tried harder and became more organized and flexible, like their fearsome Bengal and Siberian counterparts, they will surely be able to catch up and be the top predator in the rank list.
Spell of the Wizards Performing the dance with magic in the air, the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) cheerdance group showed the viewers what they got. They had an organized formation with lots of daring flips and tosses, making the audiences’ stomachs drop. They wore neat outfits in: white, yellow, and green. The performance was certainly great, but they was not able to please the judges that much to place them on top. Instead, like last year’s result, they were announced as the 3rd placer inthecompetition.However,duringtheawarding ceremony last September 22, 2012, Kenneth Asuncion committee head for extra-curricular activities, announced that it was not the CAS who placed in the 3rd spot but CEA. Next year, with morepotions,spells,tricksandvialsofconfidence, their magic just might take them to the top.
Rebirth of the Phoenixes Before their performance started, all actually thought they were going to perform after Unit 7 because of some technical problems. Luckily, everyone was able to continue the way it was planned before. Wearing blue, white, and black,theCollegeofPolicyStudies,Educationand Management(CPSEM) cheerleading competitors wowed the fans with their feats and stunning flips and tosses. From fourth place last year, the Blue Phoenixes emerged as 2nd placers this year.
Rage of the Cougars “There will be no more ‘mediocre’ performances…” announced the Jasaan Campus representativeduringthecheerdancecompetition, and they impressively proved it. The Jasaan delegates, bearing the new title Raging Cougars, hadtheirmajorcomebackthistime.Theyhadmindblowing jumps, throws, sudden lifts, and flips in theirperformancethatreallyshowedtheaudience that they are better off than being called mediocre. Wearingcuteblackandneongreenoutfits,theygave alltheyhadanditdefinitelypaidoff.They,however, made it only on the 5th place in the competition. Whenaskedhowshefeltabouttheresult,theRaging Cougarscheercaptainanswered,”Questionmark.”

grade, but two-thumbs up rating from the spectators.
Compared to past events, this year’s celebration of sportsmanship, unity and camaraderie was more organized, gaining positive feedbacks from students and outside community. It was indeed well-planned. Obviously, the Supreme Student Council (SSC), the highest governing body of Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST), headed by its President Jayson Jay Dalman had started the planning months before the Intramurals.

They had met with the Vice President of Student Affairs (VPSA), Dr. Juana M. De la Rama to discuss various guidelinesoftheplannedmajorevents.Student-leadersfrom mother organizations were also there. They had also visited the satellite campuses of Oroquieta, Panaon and Jasaan to give them the clear guidelines and plans, though Presidents of the Central Student Organizations (CSO) of these satellite campuses claimed that they also encountered problems like not receiving a formal letter of invitation and lack of update from the main campus that made them call for updates, themselves. In fact, Jasaan Campus had not been cleared out with the cheerleading like the limitations of tosses and lifts. Nevertheless, when asked about major problems they have encountered with the people of main campus specifically the SSC, CSO presidents just gave their humble head shake. The efforts exerted, the good decision- making and wise planning of the people behind could be put into account.

However, with all the positive responses came the so-called predicaments. Various issues suddenly popped out of nowhere.
Junior Staff Writer
The organizers were time-conscious. They really meant it when the game starts in a given time, they will really start. Truly, it was good because it really proves that they are time-managed. However, rescheduling games and announcing it on eleventh-hour could be so disgusting. As a result, some of the college representatives were forfeited in various games. It seemed so unfair especially to those colleges who knew the final schedule late. Fairness was also unevenly distributed to some games. Yes, it was to be considered that extension campuses, due to limited budget, would also bring limited number of participants. Consequently, multi-tasking is a must. As point of fact, each student is required to play two to three games.

As a part of the opening program of Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST) Intramurals 2012 last September 19, a dance sports competition was held at 12:30 in the afternoon at Limketkai Atrium. Each unit participated during the event. The dance sptorts competition had two categories: the Standard and the Latin-American.
TheCollegeofArtsandSciences(CAS)GreenWizards andtheCollegeofPoliceStudies,EducationandManagement (CPSEM) Blue Phoenix were victorious in the modern and contemporary dance competition held last September 20, 2012 at the Science Complex (SciCom) grounds.
During the elimination round, all pairs from the different units flaunted their moves on the dance floor. The judges selected their Top 3 pairs for each category. In both categories, the top 3 are from the: College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), College of Engineering and Architecture(CEA), College of Policy Studies, Education and Management(CPSEM). During the final round, the Standard category dances were Tango and Waltz, while for the Latin-American category dances were Cha-cha, Rumba and Jive.
CAS representative Taiza Ejem together with her partner was hailed as the champion in the contemporary dance competition. The Oroquieta campus White Tigers and Blue Phoenix were proclaimed 3rd and 2nd runners up respectively.
These are the results for Dance Sports Competition. Standard Category: First placer: CPSEM (Unit 4) Second placer: CEA (Unit 2) Third placer: CAS (Unit 3) Latin-American Category: First placer: CPSEM (Unit 4) Second Placer: CAS (Unit 3) Third Placer: CEA (Unit 2)
Meanwhile, CPSEM ruled the spotlight as their representative in the modern dance competition started to harmonize the stage. CPSEM grabbed the title from last year’s champion, College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA), and they grooved it all the way as they showed their moves. CEA and College of Industrial and Information Technology (CIIT) were the 3rd and 2nd runners up respectively.

Yes, Fiesta Nah! Juicy Jean P. Reyes
“Dare to Move,” as the Intramurals 2012 theme, best fits the games that no one would ever set aside – the fiesta games. It appears that these games are usually being witnessed and practically being enjoyed by most Filipinos in some community celebrations in the country. September 20 to 21, were the scheduled dates for the fiesta games that every mother organization and the three satellite campusesofMindanaoUniversityofScienceand Technology (MUST) took part of. Now, let us start the traditional clash! PATINTERO I dare you to move and don’t get caught. Harang-taga is the other term for patintero.Thisisagamewherethemindandthe bodyshouldcometogether.TheUnit7,Raging Cougars, from Jasaan Campus was proclaimed champion for divisions, men and women. Go Cougars! DODGE BALL I dare you to move and avoid being hit by the ball. The main goal of this game is to eliminate all members of the opposing team by hitting them with a ball, to be caught by a memberoftheopposingteam.TheUnit5,White Tigers, from Oroquieta Campus won the men’s and women’s division. You got it, Tigers! EGGPLANT AND TOMATO RACE I dare you to move and sway your body. Using an eggplant and a tomato, this game has made the players and the audiences laugh for as much as they could. The Unit 2, CollegeofEngineeringandArchitecture(CEA) was proclaimed as the winner. Nice game, CEA! EGG PASS I dare you to move and pass the egg. Your favorite fried egg for breakfast can be used as a way of enjoying a game. This is as simple as throwing the egg and
wishing that your teammate would catch it. The Unit 1, College of Industrial and Information Technology (CIIT), succeeded and won this game. You made it, Blazing Guardians! PIÑATA FESTIVAL I dare you to move and hit the pot. This game will use your senses in hitting your goal. The word “piñata” most likely comes from the Italian word “pignatta” which means “fragile pot” as the European version used clay containers in carrying water. The Unit 6, Yellow Eagles, from Panaon Campus was declared champion in hitting the pot. Hit them hard, Eagles! MARIA WENT TO TOWN I dare you to move and wear everything you have. This is a dress up relay game. Each team member should wear the whole Maria-Went-To-Town garb. For this challenge, the Yellow Eagles prevailed. Good job, Unit 6! SACK RACE I dare you to move and jump as high and as hasty as you can. Obviously, this game will use sacks as its main implement in playing. This is another challenging and body-sweating game. Again, the Unit 6 made it to the top. Fly high, Eagles! MESSAGE RELAY I dare you to move and whisper the message. This needs your sharp memory. When one gets the message he should quickly pass it to his teammate. The Blue Phoenix, Unit 4, won this game. Applause for CPSEM! These games are not just for fun but for team work. For the next challenges that will come ourways,IDAREYOUTOMOVE!

oops and nets abound the campus during the Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST) Intramurals 2012. As this year’s theme suggests, the unit players dared to show their high-flying moves. Be it basketball, darts,tabletennis,orinanyothersport,theMUST delegateswillsurelyfireyouupwithexcitement whenyouwitnesstheirawesomeperformances! From Hoop to Hoop When it comes to basketball, be it maleorfemalecategory,avidfanswouldalways gowildwithsupportfortheirteams.MUSTeans also have that spirit, by the truckload! Under the men’s division, the College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA) triumphed above the other contenders, while the College of Policy Studies, Education, and Management (CPSEM) emerged as the women’s division champs. Looks like the Risen Legends and the Blue Phoenixes are in for a celebration! Nothin’ But Nets! Volleyball is also considered as a famous sport here in the Philippines. Focus, determination, and high endurance are just some of the qualities a volleyball player must possess, and MUSTeans would never relinquish the opportunity to show that! Topping both the men’s & women’s division are players from the Oroquieta satellite campus of MUST. Hear the White Tigers roar! Ping-Pak-Pong! Next up is table tennis, which is commonly referred to as ping-pong. To those who are new to MUST, the Student Center (SC) was the original “home of ping-pong”. It is no wonder why we got loads of ping-pong players, andalsonowonderwhytheCollegeofIndustrial andInformationTechnology(CIIT)andCPSEM prevailed as champs in the men’s and women’s division, respectively. The Blazing Guardians and the Blue Phoenixes are definitely on fire! Checkmate! Chessisbasicallyabattleoftheminds, anticipatingthemovesofyouropponentbefore it even happens.

Inthismind-twistinggameofwits,CIITandCEA bested everyone under the male and female category, respectively. Guardians and Legends definitely rule the chessboards! Of Shuttlecocks and Rackets Adding to the long list of famous games is badminton, which is a great outdoor sport. Long, light rackets extend the players reach, compared to the short and heavy ones for lawn tennis. Both men and women can play this game, which was proven by CEA (men’s division) and CPSEM (women’s division), the victors of the tournament.
Band Festival Rocks MUST Intramurals

ifferent bands played all kinds of genre on the third day of the annual Intramural of Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST) last September 21 at the Science Complex (Sci Com) grounds. Some of the bands who rocked the event through the strums of their electric guitars and thuds of the drums were Wrenched, Petals, Jick andJall, Kiss Your Gf, and many more.
Bull’s Eye! Darts is also considered as a sport, where precision and accuracy are the keys to success. With keen sight and pinpoint accuracy, CEA (men’s division) and the Jasaan campus (women’s division) hit the bull’s eye, garnering 1st place. Rise, Legends! Roar , Cougars!
The Supreme Student Council (SSC) initiated the event inviting different bands with members who are either bonafide MUSTeans or non MUSTeans. It was a teaser for the Band Competition which happened after the Band Festival. With their screams and loudness, more students got hooked, gathered and listened to their music.
Goal!
Futsal, or futbol Sala, is a derivation fromtheAmericanfootball.Insteadofplaying it in an open field, futsal can be played in a small area, kind of like a standard house’s floor. Usually, only males play this game, and it is in this sport that CIIT (once again!) emerged as champions. Keep blazing, Guardians! A Kick for the Win
