JAKARTA (JP): Sadness was the prevailing mood at
                 the Trisakti University campus in Grogol, West
                 Jakarta, on Saturday as students and university
                 members commemorated the third anniversary of the
                 shooting incident on May 12, 1998, which killed four of
                 its students.

                 The ceremony, held at the Reform Hero Monument in
                 the university's compound, was led by rector Thobi
                 Mutis.

                 Many participants at the ceremony, mainly family
                 members of the four victims -- Elang Mulia Lesmana,
                 Hafidin Royan, Hendriawan Sie and Heri Hartanto --
                 burst into tears when the university's choir sang Gugur
                 Bunga (The Falling Flower) and several students
                 hoisted the red-and-white flag to half mast.

                 The incident centered on the shooting by an unknown
                 group of troops at the students, killing four of them.

                 Until now, no security officer has declared
                 responsibility for the incident, while the legal process
                 seems to have met a stalemate.

                 Rector Thobi said in his speech that the university
                 insisted that the real shooters be prosecuted.

                 The students also planned to parade across the
                 capital to give flowers to people and passersby at
                 places such as the Semanggi cloverleaf junction, the
                 Hotel Indonesia traffic circle, the Slipi intersection, the
                 Senayan area, the Pancoran intersection and the
                 University of Indonesia campus in Salemba, Central
                 Jakarta. (imn)
