`Vokal' editors speak out

`Vokal' editors speak out

SEMARANG: Dozens of students of the IKIP PGRI teachers
training institute held a protest on their campus yesterday,
denouncing the local military leaders for suggesting that their
school magazine, Vokal, was spreading communism.

"I reject the accusation," said Nurul, who is the editor of
the school's inhouse magazine.

The magazine earned the wrath of Maj. Gen. Soeyono last month
for publishing a biography of Pramudya Ananta Toer, an author
branded by the government as a communist.

Nurul said other publications have run the biography of
Pramudya at greater length and were not accused. (har/emb)
