[edit] Picture image file of the Oblation and other UPLB symbols
Kindly post only high-quality pictures of campus sites and refrain from posting "unattractive" sites. I hope none of you will take this personally, but the humanities building is one of the ugliest in the campus. Unless somebody actually takes a "good" photo of it, I'm removing it from the wiki page in the meantime.Joe_fob
I think that this page needs an picture/image file of UPLB's oblation (it would be better if there are also pictures of Mariang Banga and the other statues in Carabao Park) as they are the symbols of UPLB. I would be glad to help (I have an image of UPLB's oblation, Mariang Banga and the others) but I don't much about this Wikipedia thingy.
I can be contacted at freakish-wikipedia @ spambob dot net [ spam-proofed, remove spaces and replace the dot with '.' (without the quotes) ]
--Oblation pics are quite common already, so I think it would be much better to post pics of places in UPLB not usually frequented by tourists, like the Agriculture and Life Sciences Complex (a lot of people don't even know this exists) where many of UPLB's research institutes are located -Joe Fob
[edit] List of Student Organizations
List will be alphabetized, disregarding UP (or UPLB) if it appears on the start of the name of any org (Please keep this in mind when adding anything to the list, thanks!). If the list gets too long, it is possible for it to have a separate article like that of UP Diliman (List_of_UP_Diliman_student_organizations). To those who keep on changing the format of their organization's name to boldface, please stop. Thanks! (Check out the wikipedia gudelines please) Meynardtengco 03:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
List layout turned into two columns. The list is already too long... Meynardtengco 14:11, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
also, @Joe Fob, you might have mistaken the UP Athletics Club as the UPLB Track and Field/Athletics Varsity, its different from that, as far as i know, the person who placed the org name in the list included a link to WWE (i dunno who removed that link, forgot to check in the article history, just check the history, hehe) so i suppose they're into WWE as fans, thus possibly a Hobby org, i'm placing that classification (Hobby Oriented) in the list but i'm not sure if such classification exists with the Office of Student Affairs (OSA). I'll place UPAC in that classification unless someone who knows their OSA recognition details corrects the classification. (If ever you have thought of UPAC as a Track and Field club, i'm sure they're not... coz i'm with the T&F Varsity, we have our own organization: MACRunners, but if you are sure they're recognized as another sports oriented org, do edit the list) :)
--- ughhhh! people, please to check your edits! you may also consult the history page for previous edits regarding do's and dont's Meynardtengco 14:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

and the IP's belong to a SmartBro subscriber and St Scholastica College! Hmmmmm, that means we can't just have the IP address blocked easily, because it belongs to a school based on what ive read regarding blocking IP addresses... hmmmm Meynardtengco 19:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mabuhay!
I really love this informative article. It is also relevant to alumni who are out of the country. i read the list of oragnizations and the UPLB Genetics Society is also known as UPLB GENESOC among the UPLB community. More power to wikipedia. keep on rockin'! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.52.169.150 (talk) 07:23, 29 December 2006 (UTC).
--I've edited the entry upon request. -Joe Fob
- btw, @Joe Fob, UPLB is more than a "public research" university: "The University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), a coeducational, publicly funded academic, research and extension institution, is one of the six constituent universities of the University of the Philippines System" ;-) Meynardtengco 03:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Centers of Excellence
Please note that there's no such thing as a Center of Excellence in Development Communication. The College is recognized as a Center of Excellence in Communication Arts/Teaching. You can verify this with CHED.
I've heard that the Institute of Computer Science was recently recognized as a Center of Excellence in Computer Science/Information Technology - can somebody verify this please? Thanks! --Joe_fob
@Joe Fob, they're Centers of Excellence, not all are called National Centers of Excellence since the centers of excellence are classified according to region, see CHED’s Centers of Excellence/Development (COEs/CODs)
also, the Institute of Computer Science is recognized as a Center of Development for Excellence (see UPLB Website)
--> But they never update the UPLB website. The Institute of Stat was designated as center of development last year, and they havent included it in their site.
