Caltex scholarships for poor students

PEKANBARU, Riau: As many as 39,000 disadvantaged students will
receive scholarships this year from the Caltex oil company and
the Riau Kedepan Foundation, Antara reported on Thursday.

Deputy general manager of PT Caltex Pacific Indonesia Tengku
Amir Sulaiman, said on Wednesday another 3,000 students would
also receive assistance in a joint scheme with the Chevron Texaco
Foundation.

On Tuesday, some 1,500 university students attacked and
vandalized a Caltex housing complex in Rumbai, 10 kilometers
north of here. They also set 29 cars on fire, vandalized a bar in
the complex and stoned office windows. The students said they
were frustrated by a rejection of their demand for a 10 percent
share of oil exploitation revenue from the United States-based
company.
