The most ardent Nazi in the College of the City of New York has been expelled to “make the school safe for Jews.”
It must be true: Fred Karl Scheibe, the Nazi in question, admits it.
Fritz, as his friends call him, is a leading member of the Friends of New Germany. He broke into print on a number of occasions last year. Once he was almost annihilated when he walked onto the campus of the eight-five per cent, Jewish college wearing a brown jacket.
On another occasion, he charged at a public meeting that a certain Zionist-Revisionist threatened to assassinate him.
Now, after being “systematically persecuted,” as he calls it, he informed a Jewish Daily Bulletin reporter that Dean Morton Gottschall has expelled him.
“Technically,” he said in his broad Teutonic accent, “they say I am expelled because I have failed one subject. But nobody is expelled for failing one subject. It is because I am a Nazi.”
“I never was against the Jews,” he continued. “My speeches were mild. But you ought to hear them now!”
Dean Gottschall threw light on the situation.
“Scheibe was only taking two courses,” he informed the Bulletin. “This amounts to six credits. The normal number of credits for a student is sixteen. Scheibe failed three of his six credits. That’s why he was expelled.
“Furthermore, if Scheibe makes application to the Committee on Course and Standing, I feel certain that he will be readmitted.”
