Today's Carolinian The Progressive Official Student Publication of the University of San Carlos The students were victorious in reinstating the Student Government.

The Today's Carolinian (TC) is the progressive official student publication of the University of San Carlos. It began as a re-established student publication of the University of San Carlos (USC) during the 80's, almost 10 years after Marcos' Martial Law seized the existence of student publications and other student institutions nationwide. It happened when the students launched its first strike against the administration to reinstate the student council and the student publication of the USC. And then, the latter eventually brought back the student publication on September 1983 with Jose Eleazar Bersales as its transition Editor-in-Chief. With TC's incisive analysis on issues concerning the University and the country, not to mention its commitment to quality journalism, there was no doubt that TC became the premier student publication among the universities in Cebu.

Who was that one person who stuck with you during the hardest time in your life?

In line with the World Mental Health Day, Today’s Carolinian asked students this very question. Their answers remind us that life can take us to different paths, and there may be moments when the weight is difficult to bear alone. In those times, having someone who listens, understands, and is simply present can make a difference.

Support can come in many forms and as we continue to raise awareness about mental health and su***de prevention, let this be a reminder to check in on the people around you and don’t hesitate to reach out when you need support. You are not alone.

IT’S TIME TO LOCK IN, CAROLINIANS!

It’s midterm season! To everyone taking their exams this coming week, we hope you get plenty of rest and walk into every exam room with a clear mind and a confident heart.

While it may be tempting to spend Sunday cramming, remember that rest is part of preparation, too. Take a break, grab a cup of coffee, step away from your notes, and give yourself those endless little pauses you need to breathe and reset.

So, Carolinians, lock in—but don’t forget to pause, breathe, rest, and refuel.

You’ve got this.

THE LESSONS THAT STAY

Some lessons are learned inside the classroom, but carried far beyond it.

For World Teachers’ Day, three Carolinians reflect on the lessons they learned from teachers who left a lasting mark on their lives. Through their stories, they share how these lessons continue to shape the way they face challenges, make choices, and navigate life beyond the classroom.

Because teaching does not always end when the class does. Some lessons stay with us—carried long after we leave the room.

Your Daily Grind, Mapped: A Carolinian’s Guide to Cafes and Workplaces

As comforting as our homes are, it is almost undeniably the one place where we are unable to get any work done. Because of this, students often opt to look for study-friendly environments where they can stay awake and motivated. Afterall, what better way to convince yourself to remain productive than the sight of other people efficiently reading and typing away on their own devices?

This upcoming midterms week, studying and working doesn’t have to be as stressful when you manage to find a spot that checks the varying needs of a busy student — good food and coffee, strong internet connection, a quiet ambiance, 24/7 access for all-nighters, or spacious areas for group setups. Whether you’re new to USC or simply exploring more places to spend hours of studying, here are some cafes and workspaces near the Downtown and Talamban campuses to help you get your work done. Look through the food choices and price ranges we have prepared for you, and find out which places would suit you best to ace that exam.

Good luck, Carolinians!

STREAK ENDED: The University of San Carlos (USC) Warriors' red-hot momentum hit a brick wall after the CESAFI Basketball match on Saturday, October 3, 2026, as the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) Jaguars ground out a nail-biting 58-56 victory at the Cebu Coliseum.

Christian Carl Sollano stepped up to dismantle the Warriors' momentum. Sollano took home Player of the Game honors, carrying the Jaguars' offense with a clutch stat line of 13 points, six boards, and three steals that consistently disrupted USC's tempo.

The upset breathes massive life into the Jaguars' spirits as they officially climb up to a 4-3 record, proving they can close out down-to-the-wire games against the league's heavyweights. Meanwhile, the Warriors drop to 5-2, forced to regroup and strategize to reignite their flame.

When have we started prioritizing exclusivity over public accessibility when works and outputs are made to be indulged by an audience in the first place? And when did the gap between media and accessibility become so vast that underground operations have become normalized?

In the realm of content production and accessibility, there is a struggle of whether it is worth sacrificing public accessibility to pave the way for exclusive ownership of property.

Exploring the tug-of-war between ethical ownership and right to general access is more than just which act is legal or illegal, it is creating a barrier within media made for an audience that cannot access it to begin with. Such an ethical dilemma allows us to reflect the multidimensionality that surrounds production, publishing, and accessibility.
