OSPEK, does it important for new student?

Before we answer these questions, we should discuss what exactly

the ospek is.
Study orientation and introduction of campus or Ospek is a historic
moment for every student who enters the gates of the college. Ospek with
a whole series of the show is the color of the initial formation of character
for a new student. In other words, whether or not the personality of
college students in a more or less determined by whether or not the
implementation of Ospek at the university.
According Bratadharma, 2013, in essence, Ospek is a door of
knowledge for the students. The doors will be opened and examined or
studied carefully by the students new to deepen their knowledge. When
out of the door alone is bad, then the mindset could have continued to
suspect that the door would be just as bad.
Ospek an activity to introduce new students to the campus. This
activity is an institutional activity is the responsibility of the University to
promote life in universities and learning process whose implementation
involves elements of university leaders, faculty, students and other
elements related.
The purpose of Ospek is:
1. Knowing and understanding the campus as an academic environment
as well as understand the mechanisms that apply in it.
2. Adding a new student insight in the use of academic facilities
available on campus to the fullest.
3. Provide an initial understanding of the national discourse and
intellectual education based on human values.
4. Preparing students to be able to study at universities as well as
adhere to and implement the applicable norms on campus,
particularly with regard to the Code of Student Conduct and Rules.
5. Fostering a sense of human brotherhood among academics in order
to create a campus environment that is comfortable, orderly, and
dynamic.

6. Growing awareness of new students will be academic and social

responsibilities as set out in the Tri Dharma College.

Ospek is a non-structural fittings on the campus. The function ospek

are as:
1. The function of the orientation for new students to enter the world
of universities that different from learning in secondary schools.
2. the communicative function of communication between the
academic community and campus administrative staff.
3. The normative function of the new students begin to understand,
appreciate and practice the rules that apply on campus.
4. The function of the academic intellectual development, talents,
interests and leadership for students.

But the existence, Ospek activities in Indonesia are often filled by

violence in the form of verbal and even physical abuse are not uncommon
(Permana, 2013). With the concept of senior junior must obey whatever
orders. So often the participants of Ospek wearing clothes and ornaments
are unnatural even to be willing to accept physical punishment of senior
even lead to death. The parents were concerned, certainly very critical of
Ospek activities. Whatever the pretext purpose of Ospek, quoted from
Wikipedia, according to psychologists, is actually none other than
retaliation the seniors will experience when they participated in Ospek.
Although most, officially dismissed negative Ospek activities, there are
some people who still carry out such negative activities.
Regardless of the negative issues about ospek, according to the
authors ospek implementation for new students is very important and
should be held on schedule, but with a more humane procedure that will
erase the tradition of violence. This can be applied to create more formats
discussions, debates, exchange ideas and dialogue between students,
faculty and other elements of the academic community.

Many academics argue that the logic is based on fostering mental

Ospek freshmen. In fact, Ospek on campus anywhere become a gateway
for new students enter the world of the student. There, they were
introduced to the world of academic, intellectual, and activist world. So,
with the spirit of renewal, Ospek should be healthy, educative, and
humanist.
The new innovation, first, select committee Ospek so that no one
person because it is the key to success is sacred agenda. Second, the
timing of Ospek must be effective and not too long. During this time, a lot
of time wasted with filled agenda were less than helpful. Third, prioritize
academic orientation, the introduction of structural campus leadership,
the introduction of mechanisms / regulatory campus, not even filled
activities seem not educate students to be laborers and slave mentality.
Fourth, improve religious orientation, literature, and introduction /
motivate students to be active in campus student organizations.
Furthermore, it involves the faculty as a supervisor / counselor. From
planning, implementation, and evaluation. Thus, all activities can be welldirected, and free from Ospek.
Hopefully with the format, Ospek goes without violence. Ospek good
is free Ospek, duping, anarchism and intellectual misdirection. If you want
to fix our education, then it should start early from the smallest things,
one of which is the format of Ospek. If it does not start now, then when?
