Discharge students
\ninvolved in brawls<\/p>\n
From Republika<\/p>\n
Before the public's disgust over brawls between high school
\nstudents could subside, a brawl erupted between students of
\nTrisakti University on July 24, in which students of the civil
\nengineering school fought against their rivals from the mineral
\nengineering school.<\/p>\n
A trivial matter triggered the shameful brawl, which has
\noccurred several times before at this university. As a result,
\nthose who were innocent had to bear the brunt of it.<\/p>\n
The Trisakti tragedy and the 1998 riots, which claimed a lot
\nof lives, made this campus the pioneer of the students' movement
\nagainst the New Order regime, giving it the name Campus of
\nReform. Unfortunately, its good reputation was tainted by the
\nbrawl.<\/p>\n
Trisakti's rector should severely punish the students who
\nbehaved like hooligans so that other students will be discouraged
\nfrom similar brutal and anarchic action on the campus. Those
\ninvolved in the brawl must be suspended and brought to court to
\naccount for their actions.<\/p>\n
It would be better for the university to sacrifice a handful
\nof bad eggs rather than allowing them to tarnish its reputation.
\nThe absence of severe punishment may lead to similar brawls.
\nShould this happen, Trisakti University will no longer deserve to
\nbe called the Campus of Reform because its members are not
\nreform-minded.<\/p>\n
