Psychology used as weapon, says visiting prof By Sarah Kitchen Of (he Kmerald Dr. Dov Friedlander. a visiting professor of psychology from the Hebrew University at Jerusalem, spoke yesterday about terrorism and security in Israel from a psychologist's perspective. "It is the nature of terrorism that you must look at terrorism as a crisis content.

The terrorist is trying to pro duce a crisis situation, a sud den, subjectively unexpected event, which has an element of suprise to it, "A clear-cut criteria of a crisis event is 'how come it happened to me?’ ” he said. The event also must be either earth shaking or soul-shaking. "It has to shake the population so much that it disrupts life," and the response it gets is one of panic, he said.

One reason people are susceptible to such a crisis event is because people learn how to cope with the predic table and deny the elements of danger and risk, Freidlander. doing back to the t920s. Israelis have lived in a terrorist state, yet they have learned to cope with their situation. Israel has done a number of things which in crisis theory have been useful in giving a sense of real security to the population of Israel. One is to give the people a feeling of being in control by reinforcing the feeling of pro tection within the country. "Israelis build up a means of alertness and security which comes as a part of their every day life," Friedlander said. "It seems as if in Israel a significant number of the population is there to alert and protect against a terrorist attack, so the rest of the population can go about their everyday business," he explained. A person in Israel does not feel his privacy is being invaded each time he is searched when entering a building; instead it adds to his sense of security, he added. In consequence, there has been a decreased amount of ter rorist activities in Israel. “In the last six months the only type of terrorist acts that have happened are stabbings with a pen knife,” Friedlander said. “What does not get reported in the U.S. press is the number of terrorist acts in Israel that are actually foiled.” he attested. Of the 900 terrorist attacks which have occurred in Israel, only 32 have actually been car ried out to the full; the other 86B have been contained. Business zone could spur growth By Jolayne Houtz Of the hmerald City officials say Eugene’s newest business recruitment tool could put the city back on the map for businesses thinking about constructing new facilities or expanding old ones. In addition, up to 2,300 new jobs and a 2 percent decrease in property taxes citywide could come from West Eugene’s enter prise zone, approved last month by state officials. The zone is a 1,080-acre area in West Eugene that will allow new businesses developing in the area and existing businesses undergoing expansion to be ex empt from paying some of their property taxes for a five-year period. I,ee Beyer, the city’s in dustrial development manager, said he has received from one to three inquiries a week about the zone since officials started talk ing about it last fall. When pro motion efforts begin next month, Beyer expects to field even more calls. When the zone first was ap proved, Beyer said he expected most of the interest to be from businesses outside the Eugene/Springfield metropolitan area. But much of the initial interest is coming from businesses already located within the zone that are think ing of expansion. Several firms in the area may speed up their expansion plans because of the zone, Beyer said. To be eligible for the tax ex emption, 60 percent of the firm's employees must live within the zone, and 40 percent of them must be economically disadvantaged. Eligible firms pay no property taxes the first year. 20 percent of their property taxes the second year, 40 percent the third year, 60 percent the fourth year, 80 percent the fifth year and the full amount from the sixth year on. About 30 states have enter prise zones. One study found that enterprise zones generated about $6.6 billion in new in vestment and about 80,000 jobs nationwide, said Norm Solomon, manager of the state's enterprise zone program. Twenty regions in the state have enterprise zones, and preliminary studies show eight to 10 of the zones were suc cessful last year in attracting new investors, Solomon said. One of the biggest in vestments is the Nippon Kokan K.K. company in Millersburg, which will construct a $,50 million silicon plant in part because of Albany’s enterprise zone. “In the state of Oregon, we don’t have that many incen tives,’’ said Rosemary Pryor, in formation coordinator for the Eugene Development Depart ment. “This is just one more recruitment tool.” MEETINGS Campus Crusade for Christ meets today at 8:30 p.m. in 302 Gerlinger.

The OS A ac count actually ran into debt in 1985. We regret any inconve nience this may have caused.
