THE BERRY FAMILY LECTURE Congregation Shaarey Zedek 27375 Bell Road, Southfield, Michigan Bar-Ilan U Acquires Computer TEL AVIV — Bar-Ilan, Israel's only religiously-or- iented university, has ac- quired one of the world's largest computers to help solve both religious and scientific problems. The computer will enable the university to complete its indexing of the Responsa literature, a 1,500-year-old compilation of Jewish case law, conduct chemical ex- periments without even hav- ing to enter the laboratory, give medical diagnosis with- out the computer seeing the patient and conduct meteo- rological research without sticking its nose outdoors. In compiling Jewish case law, the computer will ena- ble Jewish scholars, as well as religious court judges and attorneys to get imme- diate response to questions on marriage, divorce, debts, communal affairs and-much more. In order to cope with the problems of Israel's brain- injured war veterans, a new rehabilitation pro- gram has been launched jointly by Bar-Ilan and the Ministry of Defense. The project, the first of its kind in Israel, operates out of a special rehabilitation cen- ter in Tel Aviv under the direction of the depart- ment of psychology at I_ '- Ilan. The project's principal object is to improve the vet- eran's physical, mental, so- cial, familial and communal functioning which had been impaired. The project has been set up essentially as a workshop where the veter- ans are - engaged in various types of work geared to their abilities, mainly as- sembly line occupations, ranging from easy to com- plicated tasks. In other university news, Yehoshua Schachter, pro- fessor of chemistry, has de- veloped a new method for producing special petrole- um-based gases from oil- bearing rock (shale) which will help overcome the sky- rocketing costs of chemical fertilizers and plastics, re- sulting from soaring oil prices. Of particular benefit will be the production of fertiliz- ers at a price which even the developing food-short coun- tries can afford. According to Prof. Eli- yahu Kanovsky, of the de- partment of economics at Bar-Ilan University, to the extent that military power is based on economic power, Israel has little to worry about from its Arab neighbors in the forseeable future. Not only is Israel's economy ahead of its Arab neighbors in every respect, but the gap has been wid- ening in its favor and is likely to widen further in the future. Prof. Kanovsky has spe- cialized during most of his academic career in the econ- omies of the Middle East. Among his publications is a four-part study sponsored by a Harvard grant, on the "Economies of Israel, the Administered Territories, Egypt and Jordan Following the Six Day War", and re- cently completed studies of the Jordanian and Iraqi economies as part of a team project analyzing the "Ec- onomic Consequences of Peace in the Middle East." Meanwhile, two students of psychology at Bar-Ilan University beginning with the basic psychological as- sumption that most adult fears begin around the ages of four to six, selected a group of children these ages whose parents confirmed that their youngsters feared bugs. The first thing noted by the students, Vivian Fli- man, originally from South America and Yair Einat, a native Israeli, was that girls outnum- bered boys four to one. While this did not consti- tute sufficient statistical proof, it nevertheless was a first indication of the commonly observed phe- nomenon that women fear bugs more than men. Next, the investigators discovered that by proper adult example, accompanied by cautious experimenting by the children themselves, their fears were considera- bly reduced, enabling them' to get into much closer and eventual physical contact with the bugs.
