Mereka Bilang "DRAMA"mahal!!

UMK. Kudus. Pagelaran Pentas drama mahasiswa program studi pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Universitas Muria Kudus. Telah berakhir akhir Desember lalu. Pagelaran yang dilaksanakan berbeda dengan tahun sebelumnya yang mengusung KOnsep "Simple and Easy". Pagelaran drama tahun ini dilaksanakan di dalam ruangan Kelas perkuliahan FKIP yakni ruangan G,H dan I (depan gedung Orange FKIP). Sukses pagelaran drama tahun ini masih menyisakan beragam kesan bagi mahasiswa sendiri, bahkan masih segar pula ingatan segenap mahasiswa mengenai KOntroversi masih dilaksanakannya Mata Kuliah Drama tahun 2010. Perdebatan mengenai masih adanya mata kuliah DRama di tahun 2010 lalu memang bukan hal baru, namun yang perlu divermati adalah apa sebenarnya yang diperdebatkan dalam persoalan ini. Perdebatan dimulai dengan Membeandingkan bahwa Mata Kuliah DRama atau drama itu baik atau tidak baik bagi mahasiswa Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris dengan mengangkat embel-embel pendidikan yang dianggap tidak sejalan dengan drama yang notabenenya adalah sebuah karya SASTRA dan bukan pendidikan. Tetapi pendapat yang semacam ini sudah bisa termentahkan, karena baik/tidak baik itu relatif yang patut dipersoalkan adalah Sesuai atau tidak sesuainya mata Kuliah ini untuk dipertahankan di Program Studi Bahasa Inggris. beberapa pendapat mengatakan Mata Kuliah Drama ini MAHAL. Benarkah? Di awal perkuliahan drama tahun 2010 lalau, sang Dosen telah memberikan penjelasan Gamblang mengenai Permasalahan, seluk beluk serta berbagai hal mengenai mata kuliah drama serta pagel;aran drama yang akan dilaksanakan. termasuk didalamnya adalah mengenai pengelolaan dana untuk masing-masing kelompok drama. Tercatat di dalamnya adalah BAHWA SETIAP KELOMPOK BOLEH MEMAKAI PELATIH ATAU TANPA PELATIH untruk menunjang penampilan drama tiap kelompok dengan konsekuensi dana yang dikeluarkan akan menjadi lebih besar tapi dengan hasil yang diharapkan lebih baik juga. Kenyataan di lapangan, dari pengamatan penulis, hampir sebagian besar kelompok drama tahun 2010 ini menggunakan jasa PELATIH, jadi jika hampir semua keloompok menggunakan jasa pelatih, wajarlah jika menjadi lebih mahal tapi ini adalah PILIHAN kelompok, bukan pilihan pengmapu Mata kuliah drama. Kemudian, darimana anggapan DRAMA ini menjadi lebih mahal? ternyata, penelusuran penulis menemukan kurang baiknya manajemen keuangan kelompok, bahkan ada pula yang tidak atau kurang memiliki perencanaan keuangan yang baik alias asal-asalan. Bahkan yang paling mengejutkan adalah ada kelompok yang mana Sampai PERTUNJUKAN telah selesai mereka masih kisruh mengenai uang iuran untuk membayar Pelatih Drama alias Pelatihnya Belum dibayar Lunas Sampai Pertunjuka telah selesai. Jelas ini metrupakan sebuah keksalahan manajemen yang tidak sepatutnya terjadi. Jadi anggapan drama itu mahal merupakan sebuah Pilihan dari Kelompok, karena semua keputusan untuk mengelola dana ada di tangan kelompok yang bersangkutan. Pribadi, penulis menyatakan Drama baik-baik saja untuk tetap dilaksanakan asalkan dengan tema dan acuan tetap mengedepankan nilai-nilai kependidikan yang dimasukkan ke dalam tema drama. Bravo Drama.

"Mau" Kemanakah Kita?

UMK.Kudus. Pertanyaan singkat ini mengingatkan penulis pada suatu ketika mengikuti mata Kuliah Bahasa Indonesia yang diampu oleh Dra.Yustinah,M.Pd. Pertanyaan yang singkat, tetapi memerlukan waktu yang cukup lama, bahkan sangat lama untuk mampu menjawab pertanyaan ini. Pertanyaan ini sangt tepat ditujukan kepada Mahasiswa-mahasiswa UMK, yang kini sedang dalam proses pencarianjati dirinya. Kemana??? adalah sebuah pertanyaan mengenai kemana kita akan menancapkan masa depan kita. melihat dan mendengar Predikat mahasiswa sepertinya masyarakat umum akan memberikan predikat tinggi kepada MAHASISWA. sebuah tingkatan di atas SISWA biasa, karena MAHA artinya besar atau Agung. tetapi apakah kita sudah mampu mengarahkan masa depan kita sesuai dengan Besarnya predikat yang kita punyai sekarang??? Cultural University yang merupakan Visi utama Universitas Muria Kudus ini nampaknya menghadapi jalan berliku yang masih cukup panjang. Cultural University seyogyanya ditunjukkan oleh Budaya mahasiswa-mahasiswinya yang menjunjung nilai-nilai pengetahuan serta akademis di setiap kegiatan yang dilaksanakannya. Bukan hanya dalam kelas, tetapi setiap perilaku pun hendaknya di landasi dengan jiwa Berpendidikan. Kita bisa melihat apa yang terjadi di UMK sekarang. Bagaimana keadaannya? Kegiatan Mahasiswa ? bahkan Minat Mahasiswa untuk pengembangan diri? Minim. Itulah kata yang sanggup penulis lontarkan. Jika demikian, maka Bukan hanya CULTURAL UNIVERSITY yang akan menjadi sebuah visi buntu, melainkan arah masa depan mereka pun akan Buntu. Merubah membutuhkan proses, dan proses itulah yang sekarang ini sedang diusahakan oleh segenap otoritas UMK bersama segenap Mahasiswa yang diharapkan ikut serta mewujudkan jargon utama UMK itu. Karena, dengan tercapainya Jargon itu, maka Masa depan bukanlah menjadi sebuah mistery, tetapi kepastian bagi setiap mahasiswa yang nantinya akan meningglakna UMK tercinta. Senoga segenap usaha yang sedang dilaksanakan ini berjalan lancar, serta peran serta mahasiswa mampu mewujudkan visi ini, demi UMK dan demi arah masa depan kita bersama.

Amazing Malioboro

Malioboro. In The Field Project 2010 (KKL 2010) the Commitee decided to visit Malioboro as one of the Tourist object to visit. Malioboro or Malioboro street is one of the Most Popular tourist object in Jogjakarta. No one forget with Malioboro when they visit Jogjakarta.

Located in the central of the Jogjakarta city, makes Malioboro street always and always be crowded everyday. Many people say, or even the tourists say that "Malioboro Never sleeps". We can see from the crowded in all over the street by the sellers of many things and tourists from the evening till morning ofcourse.

Malioboro as one of the Main / Protocol street in Jogjakarta is also be one of the Most crowded business centre. We can find so many business activities in this place. Beside that, it also has connection with the Jogjakarta's History, as we know that Malioboro street is also near with the Keraton Jogjakarta ( Jogjakarta Palace ).

Business activities in Malioboro, mainly dominated by the trading activities or shopping activities, in small context ofcourse. Souveniers, Batiks, and everything special from Jogjakarta are here. The visitors and tourists mostly are local people outside of Jogjakarta. But, we still also find several Foreigners came and did sideseeing there, or even buy several souveniers.

KKL 2010 visited Malioboro, seemed nice to us. Shopping is the one thing that could not be left away. Evening, all participants of KKL arrived in Malioboro, but there were raining. But shopping desire could not be held on. Waited for a moment, and we did the action to see and to buy something special there. One most important rule that we have to remeber when we are shopping in Malioboro is "BARGAIN". Because the seller might make the price of the stuffs be more and more expensive than before, if You are a great bargainer here is the place for you to hunt and to get better.

Malioboro today is different than in several years ago. We can see the differences are from the Facilities for example ; Parking area, and the location of the sellers. Now is better than before, we think.

Not only about Batiks, Shirts, T-shirts, and all kind of special souveniers in Malioboro, but also special food from Jogjakarta are sold here too. We were so surprissed with the number of the special food sellers in Malioboro, more and more than before. And finally we found so many kinds and brands of special foods of Jogjakarta. Bakpia pathok, Geplak, and many others are there.

Beyond all experiences about shopping there, In Malioboro we can also see the great thing that is The Cultural Transmission. If we analyze, not all the sellers in Malioboro are from Jogjakarta, most of the are from Outside of Jogjakarta. We saw how the visitors who came from different places did bargaining with them, and the differences with us. And the greatest is several or many sellers are College students from the biggest University in Jogjakarta, they worked there and some of them said the money is for paying the Fee of their Study. We think, we can compare with our Condition nowadays. ahmad.syukur // eed.ttef.umk // 2008

The "Great" Borobudur Temple -Ever

Borobudur temple was the second tourist Object of KKL 2010. We visited it on the Last day before we were on the way to UMK. Visiting Borobudur Temple made our desire be differnt with visiting Malioboro street. In Malioboro street we had desire to do shopping, but here We are faced with a different desire, that is to Respect the History and Our Cultural richness as an Indonesian People. As the part of Teacher Training and Education Faculty we should transfer to our students not only about English, but also the respectness to everything even outside of the lesson. And here, we just realized it.

Borobudur temple is located in Magelang ( Magelang regency ) and quite far from the centre of the Magelang city. Borobudur temple keeps a great history and Legend in its huge shape. In the past, it was one of the Seven Wonders of the world, but now it's not anymore. Not a problem, for Indonesian people, Borobudur is still a Wonder and wonderful.

The Legend began in the Syailendra era, there was a King which Loves a Princess, and the Princess gave the requirement to the King if He wanted to Marry her, He had to make 1.000 Temples in a night, and In a night the King tried to make it by the help of his friends, but finally he failed to make 1.000 Temples on time.

Other Legend said that, In Syailendra era the built of Borobudur temples spent 50 years long. And the architeque was Gunadharma.

Beyond of all Legends and stories about Borobudur, many scientiest and Historists believed that the built of Borobudur temple Had no Correlation with the Romantic story of the King and Princess, but about the Gunadharma scientists believed that the built spent 50 years because of the process was not easy and too heavy to build. The base material of the Borobudur temple is stone, that according to the scientiests are taken from the river near with Borobudur Complex. Then the stones are carved and then sticked each other with special glue or something. The architeque also made the drainage system like holes in each steps and corners with a beautiful statue, because the location of Borobudur in Tropical country, so when the rainy season comes, the water is not a problem.

According to the facts, the Borobudur temple was built at the beginning of the 8th Century, and at the 11th Century the explotion of Merapi mountain broke it and made it covered by the Explotion materials. That's why in Majapahit or Galuh Sunda's Kingdom History there was no Borobudur existence. And then at 1814, Raffles found the Borobudur and after that the observation were done agin and again till the complete shape of Borobudur is found.

The shape of Borobudur temple is almost same with Limas, and it has three grade yards. There are 504 Buddha statues and 400 other little statues. In Borobudur temple we also foud the The Stupas. There three kind of stupa, those are The main stupa ( stupa induk ) only 1 on the top of Borobudur temple, Medium stupa 72 pieces, and little stupa on all over part of Borobudur, they are 1422 pieces. On all the wall side of Borobudur we also find and can see the relief. The relief retells the story and histor about the built of Borobudur, the Peoiple at that time and the kingdom at that time also.

Good experiences to teach us to respect and love the History.
