Clarke said the reaction by Hillel members "is evidence of the need for serious dialogue to take place between Blacks and Jews."

The BSA and Hillel stood united only two months ago, when the Hillel endorsed a BSA rally on the steps of Widener Library against The Bell Curve.

Last spring the two organizations engaged in a three-part discussion on issues in both the Black and Jewish communities.

But with another meeting between organization leaders scheduled for December 14, it is questionable whether friendly discourse will continue.

"I'm kind of uneasy about talking to them [the BSA] because it seems they ignored our concerns in a big way," said Hillel Social Action Committee Co-chair Josh E. Greenfield '96-'97.

BSA Vice-President Allison L. Moore '97 dismissed the notion that the BSA had asked Martin to speak "to alienate or to offend Hillel. "We want to have open dialogue and continued relations with the Hillel," she said.

Hillel coordinating council member David A. Ganz '96 said Hillel-BSA relations will continue unchanged.

"Whatever state Tony Martin's speech left each community in, we will still have dialogues," he said. "I hope the meetings we have planned with the BSA will go on and I think they will."

Martin was tenured at Wellesley College in 1975 and assumed a full professorship in 1979. His decision to include the controversial book The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews in a history class reading list drew criticism from students and faculty at Wellesley College.

Martin wrote The Jewish Onslaught in his own defense against attacks from the campus Hillel and the national Anti-Defamation League.

"The press release against me, I now realize, is a classic textbook case study of organized Jewish intimidation," he wrote in the book
