Student Representative Council Presidents of the two universities, met yesterday in sit-in protest organized by students of UPNG, and discussed their plans.
David Kelma of Lae's Uni Tech and Keneth Rapa of UPNG, both say, they are ready to sacrifice their studies for the good of the country, if worse comes to worse.
