Swastikas drawn on doors in Towson U. dormitory
Towson University police were trying to determine yesterday who drew swastikas on message boards on students' dormitory room doors, school officials said. The symbols, which appeared on dry-erase boards in one of the residence halls, were reported by students Wednesday morning, said Jerry Dieringer, director of housing and residence life. "We're trying to both allay concerns as well as keep students informed as to what steps are being taken," Dieringer said. The incident occurred just before the observance of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, and follows the arrests this week of three young men in connection with the spray-painting of a swastika and the word "Nazis" at a Pikesville synagogue and at a private high school.
