But a govern ment official said the plan does not reflect the attitude of the white re gime. The Commission for Cooperation and Development proposed pro claiming about 28,000 acres of the Zulu tribal homeland in Natal prov ince part of “white” South Africa, and buying up some 152,000 acres of white farmland and turning them into “black” areas of the homeland. The plan, immediately con demned by many leading whites in Natal, would uproot about 42,000 people. Cnris Heunis, minister of consti tutional development, said late Mon day the proposal does not reflect the attitude of the government. He said the regime was willing to discuss the plans with blacks and whites. A fundamental pillar of apartheid has been to chop South Africa up into black and white sectors, leaving the black minority of 24 million on 13 percent of the country’s land and reserving the rest for the 5 million whites, 2.8 million people of mixed racial ancestry and 850,000 Asians. Parliamentarian Ray Swart of the Progressive Federal Party, which op poses apartheid, said the plan was “hell-bent on the apartheid road.” Swart said the proposals show the government wants “entrenchment of the apartheid policy.” In anti-apartneid unrest early Monday and late Sunday, police said poll black moo, and police gunfire killed a black man among a crowd stoning a police vehicle. Both incidents were in black areas near Port ElizabetL 600 miles south of Johannesburg. In another development Monday the daughter of jailed black leader Nelson Mandela, the headoftheAi rican National Congress guerriilaor gani/ation, said he will be allowedat examination by a family physician. The Prisons Department had no comment on the statement by It nani Mandela Dlamini, 23, that her 67-year-old father will be checked!)) family-appointed black doctors. But tne move appeared tobei concession from the governmentai ter Dlamini and Mandela’s wife Winnie, demanded the second opin ion on Sept. 11. Hispanic students lead gains in SAT scores Associated Press NEW YORK — Hispanic students led the strongest gam in average Scholastic Aptititude Test scores in more than two decades this year, a surge hailed by some educators as evidence that reform is taking hold in public schools. College Board president George H. Hanf ord said at a news confer ence Monday that nationwide aver age scores rose five points on the verbal portion of the test, to 431, and four points in math to 475. The combined gain of nine points on the two-part exam, taken an nually by about a million college- bound high school students, boosted the average math-verbal score to 906. It was the biggest increase since 1963 when scores also gained nine points before sliding steadily for the next two decades. The SAT is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, with a combined math- verbal score of 1600 being perfect. It is an entrance requirement at vir tually all the nation’s selective col leges and universities. Scores on the ACT, a rival test ad ministered by the American College Testing Program in Iowa City, Iowa, and taken by about a million stu dents mostly in the West and Mid west, also rose in 1985 but only slightly. Hanford said this year’s SAT up surge was a product of steps taken by schools in the 1970s to stress basic skills, as well as the more recent edu cation reforms of the 1980s. In Washington, Education Secre tary William J. Bennett hailed the SAT gains with a “Bravo!” but cau tioned against letting up in the push for educational excellence. He called this year’s results “further evidence that American secondary education is on the mend.” Hanford also warned against complacency. “Despite the gams of the past few years, we are yet a com bined total of 74 points behind the scores of 1963, the last high point in this SAT saga. We still have a long way to go.” He added that it might not even be reasonable to expect average scores to ever equal I9o3 levels again — 502 math and 478 verbal. More students take the test now, he said, including many more minority stu dents who traditionally have trouble with standardized exams. President Reagan last year set a oal of trying to wipe out half the 2-year SAT score decline by 1990. To achieve that would require aver age combined math-verbal gains of seven points annually. Mexican-American and Puen®: Rican students registered the iwl 1 gains of any ethnic group. PuertoRi cans’ verbal scores rose 10 pointstoi ' 368 average, and their math score were up six points to 428. Menas Americans gained six points on txxl ! math and verbal scores, averagm,- ; ■426 and 382 respectively. Hanford said he had no explain tion for the strong showing by tho« ; two groups, but said minorin | groups in general seemed tobeper | forming better on the SAT in recti" years. Black students’ scores improve! jj four points on the verbal, andthw ? points on the math. White student! | scores rose by four points on boi \ math, up to 4^1, and verbal, 449. Hanford said it was disturbinj ) that the percentage of blacks talks the test went down, indicating tli fewer blacks were considering goinj to college. In 1985, he said, 8.9 percentd ; the test-takers were black, comparrt to 9.1 percent in 1984. That meat: 2,000 fewer blacks took the SAT. 1 The College Board also reported a continued rise in the percentageof ; high scorers, those who score over 600 on either part of the SAT I Nearly 77,000 students did so on the | verbal half of the SAT and 167,OOi j on the math section.
