YOGYAKARTA: Minister of Education and Culture Wardiman
Djojonegoro inaugurated yesterday I Made Bandem as the new rector
of Yogyakarta's Art Institute of Indonesia (ISI) for the
1997/2001 term, replacing R.M. Soedarsono.

I Made Bandem was previously head of the Art College of
Indonesia, Denpasar, Bali. He is also a member of the People's
Consultative Assembly.

"I'm ready for the new job as I've been observing every
improvement (in the institute) and I'm very proud," Bandem said.

Hundreds of students greeted Bandem's inauguration with
posters of discontent. The students see Bandem's selection as a
bleak move which could demote the quality of art graduates
produced by the school. (23/swa)
