New anti-Jewish riots broke out today in the colleges at Szegedin and Budapest as a protest against the proposal now being discussed in parliament to modify the numerus clausus law.
The Christian students, who were called out on strike laid siege to the college entrances, ejecting Jewish students and studious Christian students who ignored the strike call.
The posting of anti-Semitic placards was prevented by the Budapest authorities when students attempted to place the signs throughout the city.
It was learned today that members of the Hungarian Government party have decided to vote for the Government bill to modify the numerus clausus law.

None, however, of the party members has agreed to take part in the discussion defending the bill.
