Mass circumcision at Undip

To commemorate its 48th anniversary on Oct. 15, the state-run Diponegoro University of Semarang, Central Java, has organized a mass circumcision, free medical services, sports and a puppet show.

The puppet show Palguna Palgunadi which took place at Pleburan soccer field on Sept. 10, featured puppet master and Sragen Regent Untung Wiyono.

On Sept. 18, dozens of children from low-income families living around the campus were circumcised for free.

On Sunday (today?) hundreds of people are expected to join badminton, volley ball, tennis, soccer and jogging competitions on Sunday.

The recipient of the university's annual honorary doctorate degree had not been decided by Friday last week. Last year, Undip gave the honorary degree to former minister of foreign affairs Ali Alatas.
