It is not strange that Malang is called City of Flowers. However, less attention for several plants today has been caused by lack of people's awareness. The flowers are even in danger of extinction. 

 



         The matter has attracted consideration of University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) students joining Pusat Studi Lingkungan dan Kemasyarakatan (PSLK). Because of their love to environment and plants, they have created a conservation of Javanese flowers at UMM. 


 
 
 

Javanese flowers conservation is a means of preserving plants which grow only on this densely populated island. The location of the conservation is across the Brantas River, near rector's building. Accompanying by a field coordinator, we can see various plants cultivated there.


 
 
 

The conservation has been started since two years ago. The program is expected to re-introduce Javanese local wisdoms. It is also available for environmental education visit from TK, SD, SMP and SMA. 


 
 
 

To introduce the location, PSLK of UMM has created this into one packet of campus tourism. &amp;ldquo;The program will increasingly support conservation as well as saving rare plants,&amp;rdquo; said Field Coordinator, Ahmad Sodirin. He claimed that it was the only Javanese flowers conservation in campuses all over Indonesia.


 
 
Beside on the location, visitors also could enjoy beautiful flowers and plants at Arboretum area devoted for rare plants and located near the UMM stadium.]]></description>

Razzaq delivered a guest lecture held by International Relation Office (IRO) and Faculty of Islamic Studies (FAI) UMM. The lecture attended by the FAI students was welcomed enthusiastically.


Although he spoke Arabic, the lecture ran smoothly. Aside from the fact that FAI students have mastered Arabic, the Chief of International Cooperation Bureau of UMM, Drs. Abdul Haris MA, who became moderator of the guest lecture doubled as translator as well.  


Razzaq stated that knowledge is an important thing to be mastered by people. Today, there have been so many negative attitudes of human beings. &amp;ldquo;Knowledge must be practice by the owner and be spread later for others,&amp;rdquo; he said.


 He added, there were four challenges influencing education today such as globalization, economy, loss of cultural identity and disclosure of information. 


He stated that globalization was considered to influence a lot on education. There were so many things freely connected without any restriction. Disclosure of culture was even influenced by globalization. Thus, there were also many Islamic concepts which were influenced by western culture as well.

Soon, graduates of SMA, SMK and MA will come to university. Come of them even have registered through certain lines before they graduate. This is the season of choosing university. Diferentiating between state and private university for some people is no longer relevant. It is because difficult to distinguish the quality, accreditation and tuition fee.
&amp;ldquo;It does not mean that state university is cheaper and more qualified. It happens also to private one which is not always expensive and low in quality,&amp;rdquo; said Vice Rector I  of UMM, Prof Dr Bambang Widagdo MM. Below are his tips to choose a university.
First, look at the accreditation for both national and international accreditation. Today, standard of accreditation is believed as getting closer to the real quality. You can check through campus website, Dikti or you can directly come to the university.
Second,  take a look at the qualification, works and networks of the human resources (lecturers), whether they are supported by adequate campus facilities such as library, laboratory and other learning facilities or not.
Third,  find a campus with character, strong identity and not campus with no 'gender'. It means there are special characteristics you can identified to yourselves when you have become alumni. For example, the campus has a particular outstanding achievement.
Fourth,  note the institutional reputation of campus. For private one, make sure that there is no]]></description>
