n the United States, we tend to think of terrorism as a phenomenon solely of other countries. This perception, however, is inaccurate, according to Donna Schlagheck, Wright State University assistant professor of political science and coordinator of international studies. One of the reasons for this inaccuracy, she believes, is what she sees as a misunderstanding about what constitutes terrorism in this country. When is an act one of "terrorism," she asked, and when is it simply violence or aggression? According to Schlagheck, who has written a book on the subject, terrorism is irregular or unconventional forces striking targets that we consider to be civilian in this country. The U.S. government, she noted, defines terrorism as violence for political purposes against innocent or nonmilitary targets. Schlagheck believes these definitions are not so far apart. She noted that the decision to call something "terrorism" often depends on a "value judgment," made by the government or the media. She feels abortion clinic bombings and Ku Klux Klan murders, although somewhat isolated, should be labeled terrorism, because they are attacks on civilians to facilitate political change in abortion and civil rights laws. Schlagheck is interested in the logistics as well as the linguistics of terrorism. She is teaching a course on terrorism at Wright State University in an effort to make people more aware of terrorism at home and abroad. She was awakened to the realities of terrorism with Bobby Kennedy's assassination by a Palestinian protesting the condition of the Palestinian people in 1968. Schlagheck received a firsthand education in violence and terrorism during 1972, when she was an exchange student in Europe. "My plans to visit the Olympic Games were canceled when 1 1 Israeli athletes were taken hostage and killed in Munich," she said. "The following summer, while I was spending a month in Paris before returning to the States, Israelis and Palestinians were blowing each other Dr. Donna Schlagheck, Wright State University assistant professor of political science, talks about terrorist acts that occur in the U.S. up on the street where I lived, in retribution for the Munich bombing. I was afraid; there was no place I felt could protect me," Schlagheck said. domestic terrorism, she believes. This identity cards, and it is easy to safe."

"We can do a lot to help our community achieve a competitive advantage in both of these areas,'' Mulhollan said, "but it won't happen overnight. If the university is successful with its goals, then the community will benefit greatly and be in a more competitive position to attract new industry ... "Successful economic development activity by a university enriches its community, but it also enriches its faculty, its students and the entire institution," Mulhollan said at the time of his inauguration as president. .. Universities in this country have responded successfully to compelling public needs throughout American history, when those needs were consistent with our skills in teaching, research and professional seNice. I believe that the need to revitalize the American economy and the Ohio economy is a need which contributes positively to and complements our traditional functions and ... will enrich us all." The Strategic Plan turns these ideals into a plan of action, while leaving the university open to changing direction as new opportunities arise. "It is the adventure of modern life," Mulhollan said, "that we are doing things now that we couldn't have even imagined a couple of years ago. In these rapidly-changing circumstances, there is so much opportunity to learn and grow." Mulhollan is helping position the university to do precisely that. Variety is hes ce of r
