''
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Anti-
Semitic incidents against Jewish
college students increased by 12
percent in 1992 despite a general
decline in such incidents as a whole,
the Anti-Defamation League re¬
ported.
There were 114 anti-Semitic in¬
cidents on reported on 60 college
campus in 1992. Since 1988, theP
number of incidents has more than
doubled. The ADL recorded a total
of 1,730 anti-Semitic incidents
nationwide, a decrease of 8 per¬
cent over 1991.
rThere is a troubling atmosphere
on campus," said Melvin Salberg,
ADL national chairman. "Jewish
college students are feelings espe¬
cially vulnerable as they are con¬
fronted by an intensive wave of
anti-Semitism."
The 1992 "Audit of Anti-Semitic
Incidents" was prepared by the re¬
search department ofthe ADL Civil
Rights Division. It is an account of
overt acts or expressions of anti-
Jewish bigotry or hostility.
Two incident»are reported in a
summary of the audit. One oc¬
curred at Queens College in New
York City when dead cats from
animal science laboratory were
dropped into toilets in another cam¬
pus building with a warning writ¬
ten on the wall, "We're going to -
the Jews what we did to the cats."
At Brown University in Provi¬
dence, RL, clothing injiryers was
defaced with slogans such as "Jews
Go Home" and "No Jews
Although overall reported hate
crimes against Jews fell in 1992,
Salberg warned that there is still
danger. "One year of decline is not
a trend,," he said. Unfortunately,*"
we still face a serious problem in
our country. Behind each of these
statistics lies a community out¬
raged, a family intimidated, an in¬
dividual humiliated and demoral¬
ized."
Sew York led the U.S. with 325
incidents, down 120 from 1991,
followed by New Jersey with 227
incidents, up 32; California, 210,
down 36; and Florida, 172, up 81.
The league published a security
handbook for institutions and a
program to combat anti-Semitism
on campus. The ADL, founded in
1913, is a civil rights and human
relations organization based in
New York that combats anti-
Semitism and all forms of bigotry
and discrimination, and promotes
harmonious relations between di¬
verse religious and ethnic groups.
