Anheuser-Busch Inc. and its local wholesaler, Westside Distributors of South Gate, recently named five university students as 1986 recipients of the eighth annual Dave Holt Scholarship.
The award was offered to black students studying for business careers at a number of Southern California universities, said Harriet Moss, director of student affairs for the School of Business Administration.
The S500 scholarship, named in memory of Dave Holt, a 25-year-employee of Anheuser-Busch Inc., was awarded to Marilane Bond, a second year master's student in finance and marketing; Audrey McBath, a first year master's student studying finance and economics; Allison Powe and Melissa Ward, both seniors majoring in accounting; and Dwight Williams, a senior majoring in business administration.
Anheuser-Busch Inc. and the graduate student affair office in the Business School chose the winners based on grade point averages and extra-cur-
ricular activities, Moss said.
Holt, who served as a region representative for Anheuser-Busch until his death in 1978, became known for his continuing determination to help minority students pursuing business careers.
“Dave was forever giving of his advice and counsel/' said John Stevens, special field markets manager for Anheuser-Busch Inc. "He was constantly trying to help students stay in school and ensure their future place in the business world."
"Anheuser-Busch and its wholesalers established the Dave Holt Scholarship in 1978 to honor his memory, and to perpetuate his goal of aiding minority students," he said.
Ed Lara, president of Westside Distributors, said, "Even as higher education has become critically important to future success for our youth, it has become more and more expensive. We hope that this contribution will help Ms. Bond, Ms. McBath, Ms. Powe, Ms. Ward and Mr. Williams reach their goals. They are most deserving recipients, and we wish them every success."

No one was quite sure what to expect when Bishop Desmond Tutu came to this university to speak — especially at a university known for its conservatism and where just 15 months ago, thousands of cheering Reagan supporters displaying signs reading "Gumby loves Ronald Reagan," gathered to see Vice President George Bush.
Many of the students who showed up to listen to Tutu on Tuesday were the same as those who gathered to cheer on Bush. But something was different. The crowd had a whole new attitude.
"I was impressed that the students were so very attentive and that the response was so positive from this conservative school," said Sherry Thompson, a senior majoring in communications and political science and a member of the Black Student Services Executive Committee.
"I was against apartheid to begin with, although I didn't really know anymore than the basics. But by the time he finished speaking, I'm glad I can now take a firm stand with absolutely no doubts in my mind.
"Bishop Tutu talked about life, freedom and human rights — rights we seem to take for granted," Thompson said.
"Tutu's speech affected the attitudes of probably most of the students who attended," said Gerald Bender, a professor in the School of International Relations.
"Racial oppression is not a Democratic, Republican or political issue. It's a moral issue that touches all sides of the political spectrum," Bender said.
But even with the overwhelming turnout of students who were familiar with Tutu and his beliefs, a small number of the students in attendance were oblivious to the social issue of apartheid.
"I heard a few girls standing on the outskirts of the huge crowd, talking, and I couldn't even believe what they were saying. Things like, 'Who is this guy? What has he done?' And it literally made me ill to think that this man, who will go down in the history books, didn't even register with these ignorant people," said Holly Hubbard, a junior majoring in journalism and history.
"Bishop Tutu was telling us about some poor girl who got her head bashed in and some students walked right by and wouldn't even turn an ear because they were too into their own private conversation.
"Everything they say about some USC students living in a vacuum is true," Hubbard said, adding that "it is those students who are the most visible on campus and they are the ones who need to be informed the most."
Many students caught only an earful of Tutu's speech as they either walked or rode by in between classes.
"I rode by on my bike and, like, I stopped for five minutes. I couldn't understand his accent so I left," said Chris Baumann, a sophomore majoring in aerospace engineering.
"But I was really surprised at the amount of students, especially white students, who were present. That shows that he really is a highly respected guy," Baumann said.

Anonymity has a strange way of inspiring dedication, dedication largely unseen and unheard, but promissory of good things to come.
Campus radio station KSCR, founded in 1975 after KUSC became a National Public Radio affiliate, has found a way around anonymity — hard work and a keen faith in the future.
Plagued by difficulties in purchasing and installing equipment to broadcast on 530 kilohertz (53 AM), the station currently reaches just two on-campus residence halls — Fluor Tower and Trojan Hall — and five off-campus facilities, including Cardinal Gardens, Kerckhoff, Troy, Troy East, and Terrace Apartments. The station is also hardwired into offices in the Student Union Building, but residents of Marks Hall, where the studios are housed on the first floor, have yet to receive a KSCR transmission.
"It's incredibly expensive," said Pat Reilly, the station's general manager, referring to the cost of transmission. "Basically, it's a matter of hooking one telephone line into each building that wants the signal. And for each telephone line, you need a transmitter. Ever since the AT&T breakup, prices for doing this are pretty much double what they used to be."
In addition to its financial problems, the station has also been hampered by a lack of personnel capable of installing the necessary broadcast equipment. Currently only two student engineers are on the station's staff.
"If we planned it out ahead of time, we could probably (install the telephone lines and transmitters) in three to four weeks," said Rick Martin, a freshman majoring in aerospace engineering and a KSCR
