Tarnished DU image
Saif, Dhaka
'DU student held for mugging' (18.5.2004, DS) and 'Two students held on charge of abduction' (19.5.2004, DS) - these two new items on successive days really upset me. As a student of a neighbouring university, I have a good many numbers of friends in DU and I still have a kind of fascination and respect for it. Not everyone get the ticket of the highest seat of education. These are supposed to be the best products of the nation. A future Dr. Md. Shahidullah is supposed to come out of them. Unfortunately, some of these would be nobles are active participants of antisocial activities. In most cases they are linked to some political party. We have talked a lot about student politics. But what about teacher politics? How will a student respect a teacher when he is a lackey of a particular party? Study should be the first and foremost responsibility of a student. And imparting proper education should be the focus of the teacher. The 'lost glory' of DU cannot be salvaged in a fortnight. A concerted approach by the teachers and the students is surely the key.
