was not removed because he

is white or Jewish.
"I am black and I think I
have been discriminated
against for a lot longer than
you Jews have. You guys are
all right. We are not."
Mr. Franklin was out of
town and could not be reach-
ed for comment.
The black group last mon-
th brought to campus Steve
Cokely, who was fired as an
aide to the late Chicago
Mayor Harold Washington
after openly engaging in an-
ti-Semitic comments.
Among his accusations
against Jews, Mr. Cokely
accused Jewish doctors of in-
jecting black babies with the
AIDS virus. He is a follower
of Rev. Louis Farrakhan,
who also is known for his
derogatory remarks against
Jews and Israel.
Administrators at Oak-
land University, who granted
$7,000 to the Committee for
Black Awareness Month ac-
tivities, maintain they can
not censor speakers.
"We bring speakers with
different views to campus all
of the time," said Maura
Selahowski, OU's program-
ming director. "But we
wouldn't censor any group."
Meanwhile, B'nai B'rith
Hillel is hosting a program
on anti-Semitism and racism
at OU on April 8. Hillel Pro-
gramming Coordinator San-
dy Loeffler said she has
made unsuccessful attempts
to contact Mr. Arnold to ask
the group to co-sponsor the
program.
Richard Lobenthal, Mich-
igan director for the Anti-
Defamation League, said an-
ti-Semitism is on the rise on
college campuses
throughout the state and the
country.
There were 10 anti-Semitic
incidents on campuses in
Michigan last year, in-
cluding a case of verbal
abuse at the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor, an
assault at Michigan State
University in East Lansing
and hate mail at Wayne
State University in Detroit.
In addition, he said, small
black groups at several of
these colleges have invited
anti-Semitic speakers, among
them Steve Cokely and Rev.
Farrakhan.
"Small groups of ultra-
militant black radicals have
been popping up," Mr.
Lobenthal said. "They are
attacking whites and Jews,
defining civil rights in black
separatist or radical terms.
So they bring in speakers
who reflect their views. But
this is not the norm."
College administrators, he
said, need to be more sen-

sitive about the increase in
black-Jewish tensions. The
phenomenon is national, Mr.
Lobenthal said.
"The universities are
responsible to address these
questions," Mr. Lobenthal
said.
He said MSU and EMU
have taken a lead in becom-
ing more sensitive.
EMU Administrator Barry
Fish, who also is Jewish, has
been holding periodic
meetings with black and
Jewish students since
November, after a speech on
campus by Mr. Cokely raised
eyebrows among the Jewish
students.
On Sunday, EMU's Hillel
is hosting a black-Jewish
brunch.
"It is a difficult issue," Mr.
Fish said. "We must worry
about free speech. But peo-
ple like Steve Cokely give
information that is not fac-
tual, and we can encourage
the students to critically ex-
amine the information
before bringing in these
speakers.
"It may be worse to stop it
than to deal with the infor-
mation the speakers ad-
dress," Mr. Fish said. "A lot
of negatives come out be-
cause of a lack of com-
munication. Forums can
help." ❑

PLO Attack
Backfires

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization's recent Katyusha
rocket assaults aimed at
Israel's northern border
seem to have backfired bad-
ly.
Not only have the rockets
fallen short of their targets
and exploded harmlessly in
the southern Lebanon
security zone, but the fierce
artillery retaliation by the
Israel Defense Force and its
allied South Lebanon Army
has turned the local
populace against the PLO.
According to sources
quoted by the United
Nations Interim Force in
Lebanon, hundreds of shells
aimed at PLO concentra-
tions in the Rashidiya refu-
gee camp east of Tyre and
elsewhere have caused the
flight of about 60 percent of
the camp's population.
The refugees blame the
PLO for bringing destruc-
tion down on their heads, the
UNIFIL sources said.
