WASHINGTON (JTA)—The Cor-
nell University provost has accused
nationally syndicated columnists
Rowland Evans and Robert Novak
of "particularly blatant and dam-
aging" inaccuracies in a column
declaring there was black anti-
Semitism on the strife-torn cam-
pus, the Washington Post reported.
Novak replied that he and his
colleague had rechecked their
sources "and stand by the column
as written without exception."
The column, published in the
Post July 21, declared that "The
dominant issue to be pursued by
Cornell's black militants" when
school is resumed in the fall

Hatchett was named director last
September of a new Martin Luther

that Jewish teachers dominated the

been acting president since James

The provost replied that the as-
sertions of campus beatings were
"also untrue" and that he was not
aware "that anything like a cli-
mate of fear exists on the campus
at this time." He also rejected the
Evans-Novak statement that new
Negro freshmen were acting like
"ferocious belligerents."
The provost did not comment on
another charge in the column that
there was evidence of black anti-
Semitism in a June 29 speech by
Negro leader Tom Jones. Novak
said, in defending the column, that
the Cornell administration should
have responded, not to the column,
but "to the incendiary speech by
Tom Jones as a threat to it as an
institution."

the decision. He said Jewish police

other non-Jewish religious holi-
