Vienna University has been on the whole quiet to-day, largely due to the big show of force by the police stationed outside the University building. The only incident was the smashing of the literature case of the Jewish Student Organisation displayed in the University Hall.
A mass meeting of the Nationalist student body held to-day has decided to keep order if Parliament passes by the end of this week legislation conferring student rights on the Nationalist student body. The Rectorate has agreed on behalf of the University Senate to a restoration of student rights based on the principle of citizenship, excluding aliens but not Jews who possess Austrian citizenship. The Nazi students, however, insist that the student rights must be based on the German race principle, which would exclude all Jews.
The Nazi student bodies are continuing to police the University building keeping order, but at the same time driving it home that they are the people in possession.
