520			_aThe academe-in this case, the Diliman campus of the state university-is a congenial place for writing. Here one can write freely despite the University of the Philippine's record of having suspended some writers, notably poets Jose Garcia Villa in the late twenties and Epifanio San Juan Jr. in the mid-fifties, or censored editorial opinion in the Philippine Collegian. The period of martial law did not deter writers on campus from expressing themselves in ingenious ways. Paramount was the expression of their ideas and sentiments on issues within and beyond parochial concerns.Graduates of other schools have found the campus exhilarating and flourished. A gay writer who could not openly express himself in his own alma mater found a haven and an audience in Diliman. Political dissidents, refused reentry into their original secretarian campuses after detention, were welcome at UP. This volume is a record of the times by one who was both witness and participant.
