BOGOR: Students from various universities in Bogor will hold a

reform movement students helped spark.

Government critics, including economists Drajad Wibowo and
Didiek J. Rachbini, and politicians Eros Djarot, Sri Bintang
Pamungkas and Rachmawati Soekarnoputri, have been invited.

The Students Executive Body (BEM) told Antara that they would
also invite noted scholar Nurcholis Madjid to speak.

The event will be held at the Bogor Agricultural Institute
(IPB) in Baranangsiang, organizing committee chairman Eka
Setiawan Karim said.

On Sunday the students opened a humanitarian aid post for the
poor. An exhibition of photos and articles regarding the May 1998
events and a public discussion would highlight the events. --JP
