University closed to politics

SEMARANG, Central Java: Rector of Diponegoro University, Muladi, said yesterday that students active in politics should dare to take risks and shouldn't use the campus as a "hiding place".

"I will prohibit any students from using Diponegoro University as the arena for their political activities," Muladi was quoted by Antara as saying.

The university has banned political activities because students have used the campus as a "hiding place".

A group of students held a gathering at Diponegoro University early this month before marching to the Central Java provincial legislative council to protest labor problems. (imn)
