Dean Wifredo G. Gacutan delivered a brief but very in- spiring message to the group, emphasizing the importance of the General assembly in creating great relationship between the fac- ulty members and students and the continuing pursuit for excel- lence of the college in his opening remarks. The College through its very dynamic Dean, Architect Gacutan, in cooperation with the College student Council under the leadership of Arnold Vicedo welcomes sophomore students from General Education Program and introduced to the students the CET heads, faculty members and support personnel. The program also includes the presentation of the student council officers and their programs and featured the induction of officers of various CET student societies. The Technik Ver02, the official college student publication of CET was introduced together with the CET website. Engr. Dennis Edward Diano and Engr.

The editor-in-chief of AP has described col- lege papers as ‘sunshine publications’, created to write only constructive criticisms and praises to the college it represents. Lontayao even empha- sized college papers will do the PR while AP will do the journalism, pertain- ing to the great difference between writing styles of AP and college papers,
opin being the latter was described as “writers for development”. I would admit that at first I agree to what the article have implied, since the establishment of college publication have taken place when AP starts to be critical at cer- tain policies in the university and their six technical advisers filtering the articles were crapped out of the publication. In deeper sense, the hostility of the administration started when AP finally practiced autonomy again, which
io should be the case, since it was originally created as an independent student body. As a student, conscious about the schemes and politics in the univer- sity, I consider the trueness in the said article until such irony happened – ns someone urged me to take Technik’s qualifying examination, and as they say, the rest is history. I often recall my early ‘AP days’ where the publication was on the rocks and on verge of closing down, because we published a magazine fea- Nakasingko.. from page 14 turing a lifestyle check of the five highest official in the university.
