Dr. Virginia O. del Rosario, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said the event was a highlight of the observance this year of the 20th anniversary of the Mass Communication program of the college. WU-P opened the course in 1987, the first school in Nueva Ecija to do so.

The Mass Communication Laboratory, a University showcase, now occupies two interconnected rooms at the third floor of Manacop Building.

One room houses the radio production studio where the University radio station, DWUP-FM, broadcasts on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The facility is linked by cable to the main radio station studio at the fifth floor of the Computer Education Building at the other side of the campus.

Adjacent to the radio production studio is the new television production studio which also functions as lecture room for Mass Communication classes. The studio boasts of a German-made professional lighting system similar to that found at the Nueva Ecija Convention Center.

Rev. Dr. Jose Flores, University chaplain, officiated in the dedication and blessing rites.

Among the guests were Mrs. Corazon Maglaya, wife of the University president; Dr. Anselmo D. Lupdag, Vice President for Academic Affairs; Dean Apolinar M. Alfonso of the College of Business Administration and Accountancy; Prof. Leodegario M. David, executive assistant to the president; Pastora Rosale, university registrar; Zenaida del Rosario, public relations head; and retired CAS faculty member Fe M. Delo.  ###
