PALEMBANG, South Sumatra (JP): National education minister
Yahya Muhaimin expected all provinces to scout talent at the
Sixth Student Games at Bumi Sriwijaya Stadium that was officially
opened on Saturday.

"I call all provinces to net potential students from the event
and groom them to become successful athletes in the future. I
hope host South Sumatra will use the event as an example to
successfully stage the 2004 National Games," he said.

The opening ceremony -- which was also attended by National
Sports Council chairman Wismoyo Arismunandar and Governor Rosihan
Arsyad -- featured various attractions by some 560 students.

Some 2,500 students and officials will compete at the event
that closes on July 14. (33)
