Panel proposes uprooting 42,000 people
Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
— A government commission on
Monday proposed a plan that would
forcibly uproot about 42,000 people,
most of tnem black. 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.
