Fifteen students to be questioned

Local police are investigating a clash between students of the
Faculty of Technics and members of the student regiment of the
University of Tujuhbelas Agustus in North Jakarta.

Head of the North Jakarta police precinct, Lt. Col. Edi
Darnadi, told The Jakarta Post yesterday police will begin the
questioning today of at least 15 students from both sides.

"I met with the university's rector this morning, and he has
agreed to hand the case over to us in order to keep the situation
on campus calm," he said.

The clash occurred on Monday afternoon and involved dozens of
students and regiment members. It was allegedly a result of the
destruction of a regiment post on Oct. 28 by a number of
unidentified students after a heated argument earlier in the
morning at their campus on Jl. Sunter Podomoro.

Three students of the Faculty of Technics are still being
treated at a nearby hospital as a result of Monday's brawl.

As of yesterday evening, local police personnel were still
deployed to secure the university. (bsr)
