INDONESIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS BROWSE SECOND-HAND TEXT BOOKS IN JAKARTA

JAK02:JAKARTA,28SEP98 - Indonesian university students shop for second-hand text books in Jakarta September 28. Vendors sell books at half price in a move seen as valuable help to students who have become victims of Indonesia's worst currency crisis in decades. Many students have missed classes because their parents cannot afford the tuition fee. The currency, rupiah, has fallen more than 80 percent against the U.S. dollar since the regional crisis started July 1997. lew/en/Photo by Enny Nuraheni REUTERS
