ADL Reports 50 Anti-Jewish Incidents at Some 31 Campuses Around the U.S. • NEW YORK — Of 90 universities polled around the country, more than a third reported on-campus incidents which the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith considers anti- Semitic. According to a survey covering the past two aca- demic years, the ADL log- ged 50 incidents at 31 cam- puses around the country, with anti-Jewish graffiti or vandalism accounting for one-foUrth of the total. Nathan Perlmutter, na- tional director of the ADL, said "the nature of the inci- dents seems to shatter our view of the college campus as one of society's bastions of enlightenment. The fact they occur at all is perplex- ing in light of research that anti-Semitism decreases as one's level of education in- creases. Theoretically, bigotry on our college cam- puses should be non- existent." Perlmutter's comments were based on a report to ADL's national commis- sion, at its 66th annual meeting at the Plaza Hotel. The meeting reces- sed on Monday and re- sumed in Jerusalem Tuesday. Perlmutter said that the survey, prepared by Theo- dore Freedman, ADL pro- gram director, was under- taken in cooperation with Bnai Brith Hillel Founda- tions. In addition to Hillel directors, also polled for their reactions at the same 90 Campuses were deans of students, heads of student government and campus newspaper editors. The graffiti or vandalism, accounting for 24 percent of the incidents, Perlmutter said, was characterized by "the facile use of swastikas or other Nazi symbols and epithets." In addition; he said, "a rash of incidents of this type seemed to be triggered by the national telecast of NBC-TV-'s "Holocaust" — a disturbing sign because the program was meant to dramatize the dangers of - bigotry." In- cluded in this listing were cases of arson, destruction of property of Jewish fraternities, and swastika daubings. One-fifth of the incidents were placed in a category labeled "political," and in- Erosion of Support for Israel Predicted at Press Meeting NEW YORK (JTA) — Al- bert Chernin, executive di- rector of the National Jewish Community Rela- tions Advisory Council (NJCRAC), warned editors and publishers of American Jewish newspapers that 1979 will probably see "eroding public support for Israel" in the United States. Addressing the 37th an- nual meeting of the Ameri- can Jewish Press Associa- tion (AJPA) at Stern Col- lege in New York, Chernin explained that since Ameri- can public opinion on foreign policy is shaped by the President it is inevita- ble that support for Israel will erode. He said the reason is that the Carter Administration's proposals for the Mideast include such points as Is- raeli withdrawal from the West Bank, which Israel will not accept. But Chernin warned that the "biggest prob- lem" may be "erosion" of support within the American Jewish com- munity. He said Ameri- can Jewry must be united behind Israel through a consensus which sup- ports a united Jerusalem and opposes the Pales- tine Liberation Organiza- tion and a Palestinian state without letting the "zig zag" of daily events interfere. The AJPA, which re- elected Frank Wundohl, editor of the Jewish Expo- nent of Philadelphia, to a second one-year term as president, adopted a resolu- tion praising Canada's new FRANK WUNDOHL Prime Minister Joe Clark for his promise to move the Canadian Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and urging the United States to follow this example. Other resolutions ex- pressed outrage over the execution of Habib Elga- nian, the Iranian Jewish leader and concern for the Iranian Jewish community, Jews in the Soviet Union and other areas of oppres- sion. In addition to Wundohl, also elected were: Albert _Bloom, editor of the Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle, first vice president; Jerry Barach, editor of the Cleveland Jewish News, second vice president; Anne Hammer- man, editor of the Dayton Jewish Chronicle, third vice president; Jean Samuels of the Jewish Herald-Voice of Houston, Texas, treasurer; Miriam Goldberg, editor and publisher of the Inter- mountain Jewish News of Denver, recording secre- tary; and Milton Firestone, editor of the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, corre- sponding secretary. - cluded were activities di- rected against Jews under the guise of anti-Zionism, but deemed essentially anti-Semitic. The survey also found that evangelical activi- ties on campus — mostly by outside groups — con- stituted the source of 16 percent of anti-Semitic incidents. In Los Angeles, the Pacific Southwest Regional Board of the ADL has filed a formal complaint charging the administration of the University of California, Riverside, with abdication of responsibility in failing to deal with anti-Jewish ac- tivities on its campus. In a four-page letter to the Regents of the University of California, ADL regional board president Joshua Kheel cited numerous inci- dents of verbal and physical abuse of Jewish students at UCR and asked that they be investigated and appropri- ate action concerning the situation taken. The ADL also reported that nearly one in five American law schools is in apparent violation of a U.S. Supreme Court ban on ad- missions procedures based on quotas or blanket racial preference. The ADL said a recent national survey of appli- cation forms, catalogues and brochures for pro- fessional schools of law, medicine and dentistry disclosed that 23 law schools from a sampling of 128 were found to maintain admissions procedures that were either "clear violations" or "visibly suspect" of violating last year's Bakke decision. In the Bakke case, the Supreme Court ruled that it is illegal for a university to exclude a white applicant from a special entrance pro- gram by setting fixed quotas for minorities — an argument supported in a friend-of-the-court brief ADL filed with the Court. Of 20 schools found to maintain admissions proce- dures that are "visibly sus- pect with respect to the ethnic-racial classifications made illegal by Bakke," nine were law schools, an- other nine medical schools and two were dental schools. In a related development, the ADL protested the granting of a visa to the head of a British "racist and totalitarian political party." Justin J. Finger, direc- tor of ADL's civil rights division, telegraphed Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance urging revoca- tion of the visa of John Hutchyns Tyndall, chairman of the British National Front. Tyndall was expected in this country this week to address a convention of the National States Rights Party, "an extremist right-wing organization steeped in anti-black and anti-Jewish bigotry," Mr. Finger said. Declaring that Tyndall's "presence in the United States would be highly un- desirable," Finger suggested that he be denied entrance as an alien who will "engage in activities which would be more preju- dicial to ,the public inter- est."

For a variety of reasons, the rate of economic pro- gress of American Jews is likely to diminish, but they still remain likely to be "...close to the top of the eco- nomic heap" at the start of Cairo-Tel Aviv Air Link Near JERUSALEM (JTA)-- Negotiations over the open- ing of a direct air route be- tween Ben Gurion Airport and Cairo Airport have reached an "advanced stage," according to sources here. Two companies, TWA and Olympic, expressed interest in operating the route. If the negotiations succeed, there will be several •regular flights between the two countries. The fare is now estimated at $120 each way. It was also reported Mon- day that beginning next month, the Egyptian news- papers will be sold in Israel. The papers will be shipped through the El Arish border point, mainly for sale in the administered territories. the 21st Century according to Columbia University economist, Eli Ginzberg. . Ginzberg presented that evaluation in a paper on "Jews in the. American Economy," published by the American Jewish Commit- tee. He predicted that, in the future, the relative rate of progress of Jews will be slower, one reason being that "other ethnic and ra- cial groups are likely to move faster." Ginzberg also said that Jews are "poorly located when it comes to the spatial aspects" of future economic development, presumably a reference to the sunbelt boom.
