Solve quarrel amicably

I am an alum of National University and I am very concerned about the situation prevailing on the campus. The Himpala students and the Menwa students fought each other and a command post was set on fire. I was shocked when I happened to see the incident on RCTI in its Seputar Indonesia program.

That mishap would not have happened if both parties could control their emotions. Why didn't you try to solve your differences amicably and show that you were going to be intellectuals of the future. I was really ashamed with what had happened in the National University fraternity. But now it is too late to do anything. The best thing for the conflicting parties to do is to apologize to each other and avoid a recurrence.
