Hungarian Students Refuse to Guarantee Safety to College Jews

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

The normal resumption of studies in the Hungarian universities and colleges, closed because of the anti-Semitic student riots, announced for tomorrow, November 7, appears doubtful as new acts of violence occurred in the capital.

Although an agreement was reached at a conference of the Minister of Education with the college deans and representatives of the nationalistic student gorups, it appears that the frenzied students decline to abide by this agreement.

New acts of violence against Jewish students occurred today at the Veterinary College in Budapest.Some of the Jewish students who appeared on the campus and in the class rooms were beaten and driven away. Many Jewish students were compelled to jump out of the windows of the classrooms.

The leaders of the anti-Semitic student groups declared that there will be no pacification until the fulfillment of their demand by the expulsion of the seventy-four Jewish students, with high scholastic standing, who were admitted this year in all the colleges above the quota prescribed by numerus clausus law.

Similarly, the student body at the University of Debreczin rejected the demand of the dean to guarantee the safety of the dean to guarantee the safety of the Jewish students. They will not accede to this demand as long as it is possible to admit Jewish students above the quota, they declared.
