The purpose of this research is to determine how the student as a political force to synergize with the government to escort of the Sinjai district policy years 2007-2017.

Sinjai Student Role in Political Development

Young people must be present as an individual who has the character and a superior personality, avoid immoral political games, seriously and consistently uphold the principle of religious doctrine; Young people need to show their quality that they have the capacity to make changes from within the state structure and cut out corrupt systems. Therefore, ethics and superior political morality in a democratic political system will be realized. This is not a revolutionary idea, but the idea of ​​a rational workable and performed by young people to participate in managing the political structure, social system and culture to be more egalitarian and democratic (Jurdi, 2015).

Based on the above, the IKMS as college student organizations should be independent. This affirmation is formulated down in Article 8 AD IKMS who stated explicitly that "IKMS are independent organizations. The nature and independent character for IKMS is the first human rights. IKMS status as a college student organization of regional shows the character of IKMS. And the character of this task called IKMS function. On the other side the goal is an ideal that must be realized then the reverse function shows motion is an ideal destination to be realized then the function otherwise indicate motion or activity in realizing". College students are the ambassadors for the community renewal of society or an agent of social change, it means that the totality of the younger generation must be prepared to accept the leadership of the nation's relay and the previous generation in the future. College student regeneration function is actually the most basic functions. As the generation that must carry out the regeneration function for the sake of the realization of the goodness and happiness of society, state and nation in the future then the group of college students should always have a progressive character dynamic and not static. As district government chief legal department of Sinjai Mr. Lukman Dahlan, said that:

"College students naturally as young people should still have the passion to continue to fight the voices of truth and the voices of the people. They are not a group of traditionalists but as ambassadors for social reform in the sense should require continuous changes in the direction of progress based on the values ​​of truth."

(Lukman Dahlan, head of Law & Human Rights kab. Sinjai, Interview in Sinjai, dated July 4, 2017 at 13:30 pm.)

The results of the interviews conducted by the author related properties that should be owned by every student to maintain a superior character and personality as manifested by Kamaruddin presidium coordinator Sinjai Student Association said that:

"Application of the dynamics of thinking and behaving as a whole is the fundamental character of students and actualized in real terms through the character and the personality and attitudes 1). Tend to the truth, a free, open and independent, 2). Objective, rational and critical, 3). Progressive and dynamic, 4). Democratic, honest, and fair. "

(Kamaruddin, coordinator of the Presidium of the DPP IKMS, Interview in Sinjai, dated July 8, 2017 at 20:30 pm.)

At the end of 2007, the Association Families College Student of Sinjai that initially only includes one campus just starting out and expand to the entire campus located in the city of Makassar. Actually this is not something new because the original purpose of the formation of IKMS itself in 1992 is to gather all the college students who are studying in the city of Makassar but because of the many obstacles faced such as human resources are still lacking to run the organization, transportation still insufficient, and communication tools that are much less sophisticated, so that initially covers only one campus. It was only in 2007 IKMS expand its borders to the entire campus in the city of Makassar. At the beginning of the arrangement 2007-2009 period, Central Presidium Council (DPP IKMS) as the highest institution in the scope of IKMS only focused on internal improvements IKMS. It was only in the period of 2013-2015 and 2015-2017 periods, IKMS not only focus on internal organization and implementation of work programs, but began to criticize the government both with an audience with the relevant governments and actions taking to the streets to demand a number of problems that occur in the district of Sinjai such as the case of moleslation of students who are considered slow, PERBUP regarding receipt of achievement scholarship and enforcement of regional regulations (PERDA) that are not in accordance with an implementation. For example, the Association College Students of Sinjai movement in terms of escort and protest against government rules that are considered bad and efficient. The rules issued in 2014 were the Regulation of the Sinjai Regent No. 24 of 2014 about the Procedure for Providing Educational Funding to Sinjai Regency College Students.

The part that is considered less efficient is the criteria are eligible to receive a scholarship college student is too few and only entered a few campuses seen from campus accreditation. It is also considered reasonable by the local government and therefore, PERBUP declaring issued in 2014 re-vised in 2015 by paying attention to suggestions and input aspirated college students. This was confirmed by Mr. H. Sabirin Yahya S.Sos as regent Sinjai which says that:

"One example of influence or contribution of students in helping to advance the Sinjai district’s promotion. Sinjai is a protest against the rule Perbub 2014 regulation on the procedure for granting scholarship assistance to Sinjai college students".

(Sabirin H. Yahya, Regent Sinjai, Interview, in Sinjai, dated July 04, 2017 10:00 pm.)

Besides listening to the advice and opinion in aspirated by college students, the government also included college students as one of the file verification teams received a Sinjai scholarship. This was done because, college students are considered important in assessing and helping stages of verification so that later no confusion there between the government and the college students themselves. In addition, the government also makes the college student as a file verification team because they have a strong idealism and independence that the implementation of these rules are implemented as intended.

In addition to the regent’s regulation above, the next highlight of the college student is the Regional Regulation Sinjai Number 11 of 2012 on Local Resources Levy is the result of the revision of the Regional Regulation Number 11 of 2010. The problem in this area is the implementation regulation of these rules, which do not according to the application. In Chapter VI, Article 8 has been quite clearly explained how the cost of rent for the for each buildings in the district of Sinjai, but in reality in its implementation it is not executed properly. As by the coordinator of Students Family Association presidium Sinjai said that:

"In 2013, 2014 and 2015 IKMS ever do an activity which is housed in one building in Sinjai district Try Out the activity is a routine activity IKMS every Year. The problem is the cost of rent is quite expensive and is not in accordance with what is in regional regulation (PERDA)".

(Kamaruddin, coordinator of the Presidium of the DPP IKMS, Interview in Sinjai, dated July 8, 2017 at 20:30 pm)

The college student’s unxiety was actually a matter of socializing the regional regulation (PERDA) which is less open because for three years (2012-2015) new college students found out in 2016 that are binding Regional Regulation on leasing buildings in Sinjai district. Seeing this matter, college students are not remain silent. They demanded the government to act decisively to anyone who does an illegal levies in this matter and returned the excess payments of building leases over the previous three years. Here are the contents of the following Regional Regulation Chapter VI Article 8 regarding the amount of payment for each building in the district of Sinjai as shown in Table 01 .

Before the goverment determine a public policy, there is a stages that have to through before the Goverment go to the implementation. This stage is the most crtical point in order to make a public policy. In this stage, the public policy will be tested related to the urgency, the utility and the impact of the policy. So this stage will be influence the next stages. The 2nd stage is the formula of the policy. This stage is the next step from the arranging agenda from the previous stage. The troubles that the previous stage face will be discuss by the expert. The troubles will be define and try to find the solution Next stage is legitimacy of the policy. In this stage, a policy will be ratified by the autority so the policy could be implemented in the society. And the last stage is implementation of the policy. In this stage the society have the responsibility to implementing the policy while the goverment have to socialize and will act as a supervisor and also to evaluate the policy Based on the statement of Mr. Lukman Dahlan, he said:

"The policy must be discuss based the urgency and the impact of the policy. So the discussion must be include the other stakeholders".

(Lukman Dahlan, Head of Legal and Human kab. Sinjai, Interview in Sinjai, dated 11 July 2017 at 13.00 pm.)

Mr. Lukman Dahlan assume that this phase is an important step in the establishment of the rules, and therefore the need to bring the stakeholders who will run this rule. Furthermore, there are two stages before a policy is implemented, namely the stage of policy formulation and adoption / legitimacy of policy. From the five stages, the role of Sinjai college students is more in the implementation and evaluation stages. As Ir. Andi Kartini Ottong, MP said as follows:

"The role of Sinjai college students has a greater role in the implementation and evaluation stages. Whereas in the agenda setting phase, the policy formulation stage and the adoption stage of the students role are lacking".

(Andi Kartini, Deputy Chair of the Parliament kab. Sinjai, Interview in Sinjai, dated 11 July 2017 10:00 pm.)

The college student movement requires a variety of movement patterns. The tendency in certain extreme poles between motion moral and political movement it will reduce the role of the movement itself. Therefore, whatever the explanation, both patterns are still needed. The important thing is still able to give a feel for the change process itself. In other words, prioritizing one pattern (political or moral movement movement) will lead to analytic failure to formulate a movement strategy to achieve change orientation movement (Eggi, 1995).

The pattern of College Students Synergy with the Local Government of Sinjai District

A moral movement is a movement that support for fight values with a certain measure of morality. This is where the independence of the college student movement will look. College students are not subordinate to certain political forces. While the political movement is a movement to make political change by siding with certain political forces, or make himself as a student of political locomotive. They are not allergic to sharing and political lobbying with political power. For them it is necessary to perform as a strategy to achieve change. Viewed from the above explanation it can be said that the development of students' potential really need to be facilitated by the local government, in this case the youth organizations in the region and outside the region (community). The existence of the region is present through the existence of the regional community who pioneered the stamina existence is the area of ​​youth and students. Therefore, it needs to be to be considered for a regent and chairman of the parliament which was to think hard and work smart to educate the community (Akira, 1977).

Here is a pattern formed synergy between college students of Sinjai district with local governments to help build and realize the vision and mission of Sinjai district in accordance is shown in Figure 01 .

College students as one of the political forces should maintain communication with local governments in the process of helping the political development of Sinjai district. Therefore, the pattern of synergy between college students and the government needed to reach the same purpose. Illustrated in the chart above that the pattern of the synergy that exists between college students of Sinjai with local governments in terms of political development and evaluation of public policy. From this pattern in essence the college students of Sinjai are able to carry out thei duties as agents of change in the midst of society and social control over local governments in realizing political development in many fields, particularly in mass participation and Guidance Life Democracy.

Safeguarding of public policy is one proses political development so that policies in the future can be better than before. The role of students required in this process, either in the form of escort policy implementation as well as suggestions and opinions are voiced. Roles and political participation in terms of development of a region is very important to efforts to understand the political existence of college students. That is why there needs to be a synergy relationship between college students and the government for the development of a region can run well without ignoring other political forces such as the mass media, interest groups (NGOs) and political parties and other political forces.
