Jewish Students Still Barred in Vienna Commerce College; Authorities Plan Vigorous Steps

While Jewish students at the World Commerce University were still prevented from attending classes by the anti-Semitic students, the university authorities and the ministry of education made plans to take vigorous measures against the trouble-makers who earlier in the week ousted their Jewish classmates, a number of whom were injured in the ensuing clash. . The university officials today ruled that all students entering the college buildings must show their registration cards. By this measure it is hoped to bar non-student anti-Semites from the premises.

Meanwhile the anti-Semitic student leaders have repeated their demand for extension of the privileges accorded to the student groups at the University of Vienna where the anti-Semitic German student society is permitted to be the sole representative of the students. Since membership in this society is based not on Austrian citizenship but on an avowal that one belongs to the German people and speaks German, many Jewish students are barred.

The failure to grant this privilege at the World Commerce University led to the disturbances Monday and Tuesday which were aggravated when the anti-Semitic students took exception to the granting of a permit by the university president to a number of Jewish students to hold a meeting in one of the classrooms.
