Due to uncertainty and chaos in Makassar and its surroundings, the faculty who previously led by Drs. L.A. Enthoven as Director was suspended and then reopened again as branch of the Faculty of Economics of University of Indonesia on October 7, under the leadership of Prof. Drs. G.H.M. Riekerk. This faculty was the beginning of Hasanuddin University after being led by Prof. Drs. G.J. Wolhoff and his secretary Drs.
