New Deans

Former minister of mines and energy M. Sadli
(left), new dean of the University of Indonesia's School of
Economics Anwar Nasution (right) and new dean of the School of
Social and Political Sciences Kamanto Sunarto. Sadli attended the
installment of Nasution and Kamanto yesterday as new deans of the
University of Indonesia's campus in Depok, West Java, by
University of Indonesia's rector M.K. Tadjudin.

Nasution replaced Dorodjatun Kuntjoro-Jakti, who has been
appointed Indonesian ambassador to the United States, while
Kamanto replaced Muhammad Budyatna. Nasution is known as an
outspoken observer of the Indonesian economy. The public knows
less about Kamanto, a professor in sociology, compared to his
successor Budyatna.

Kamanto's students described the professor as someone who
spent most of his time doing research.

Also yesterday, Tadjudin installed four officials to assist
the School of Computer Science's dean. They are Tarzan
Basaruddin, Aniati Murni Arymurty, Zainal Arifin Hasibuan and Eko
Kuswardono Budiardjo.

Tadjudin will end his term today and be replaced by Asman
Boedisantoso Ranakusuma. "Pak Tadjudin may soon join the new
cabinet as minister of health," his staff speculated yesterday.
