funds. In addition to the $1
million for the new scholarship
program. $918,038 is allocated
for growth, said Roland Cased.
Goldschmidt's budget analyst.
Another $1 million was set
aside in the higher education
budget for need-based aid and
will be transferred to the
scholarship commission's
budget. Casad said.
Cased defended the gover
nor’s proposal. "I think he feels
that out of the whole program
for student aid there really
ought to be some element that
rewards scholastic achieve
ment," he said.
The commission asked for
an increase of about $20
million, Casad said. "The
governor just didn't see we had
the dough." he said.
The University’s financial
aid director was also reluctant
to support the program. "1 have
a problem with it." Kd Vignoul
said. "It seems to me we do not
have sufficient funds to meet
the needs.
"Until that happens I
would be reluctant to support
aid based totally on merit.” he
said.
Vignoul would support a
combined merit and need-based
scholarship, he added.
"If they’re intent on
recognizing outstanding
scholastic ability, the amount of
the award or scholarship could
be dependent on the amount of
need," Vignoul said. He is also
skeptical that recognition
would keep students in the
state.
"If they want to go out of
state, I don't think we're going
to buy them." he said. "1 think
this is in direct competition
with the presidential scholar
ships we've developed."
The presidential scholar
program relies on private dona
tions to offer Oregon students
$1,000 annually to attend
Oregon’s public universities.
"I’m not sure taxpayers*
dollars should be spent for
merit-only scholarships,"
Vignoul said.
The scholarship commis
sion asked for $3.5 million to
implement a merit-based aid
program, but OSC Director Jeff
I.ee is glad to see at least $1
million in the governor's pro
posal, he said.
"Our position was very
strong that we shouldn’t have
merit-based aid at the expense
of need-based aid," Lee said.
However, Lee will not ask the
governor to forgo the program
because "we have indications
that there may Ik; some addi
tional money in the need-based
area.” he said.
Lee defended the use of tax
payers’ dollars for the program.
"We have looked at the
type of students who would be
getting this money, and about
HO percent to 70 percent
demonstrated need anyway,”
he said.
Lee will recommend to the
governor that the program be

was unoccupied. In fact, he
said, the settlers had to deal
with two large groups who were
scattered sparsely on the land.
Eventually the natives were in
corporated into the sphere of in
fluence of the Dutch East India
Co.
Over the years, the Europeans
began moving into the interior
of the country and came into
conflict with other native tribes.
The British, hoping to control a
pivotal area for their own in
terest in the East, began to exert
control over the Cape, bringing
various institutions that were
different to those of the
Afrikaaners, Anthony said.
The major notion the British
brought to South Africa was a
dislike for slavery, Anthony
said. This upset the
Afrikaaners, who owned small
numbers of domestic and
agricultural slaves, he said.
The late 1800s proved to lie a
key time for the nation. The
discovery of gold and diamonds
put South Africa in the interna
tional scene, Anthony said. The
struggle for development also
involved a struggle for labor, he
said.
“The Mineral Revolution set

that incorporated the Africans
into the new economy,” An
thony said. “This was the
beginning of the ‘super ex
ploitation' of the labor force.”
The early 1900s saw the
beginnings of racial separation,
he said.
"The British disengaged
politically from the area. They
left behind the mining company
system, which the Afrikaaners
gradually adapted.”
In 1948, the national govern
ment initiated its policy of
apartheid.
“They wanted to create a
generally white South Africa.”
he said. Ironically t he
Afrikaaners strived to create a
mono-ethnic homeland for the
African, dividing the people up
according to tribe, he added.
Yet the people of white South
Africa were very
heterogeneous, Anthony said.
Anthony also presented a
slide show, featuring photos of
the people of the country dating
from the late 19th century
through 1977 and the events
surrounding the death of ac
tivist Steven Biko.
Anthony concluded by taking
questions from the audience.

The commission intended
for students to receive merit
based aid for both public and
private institutions in Oregon,
said Larry Pierce, vice
chancellor for academic affairs.
"You might ponder the
question of whether or not it’s
appropriate for the state to sup
port students attending private
institutions." Vignoul said.
That issue is not addressed
in the governor’s budget
proposal.
"The elements of that pro
gram have yet to be worked
out,” Casad said.
