~ ravo~:wCu 1t uf[ifeaiin ita T~;'~d~J;gationtrea 'da ty vote for GATT

WASHINGTON (AP) ..

Only seven of Texas' 32 members of Congress were publicly uncommitted about a proposed world trade agreement hours before a vote on 1he accord.

Most of the delegation has declared support for the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade or is leaning 10· ward supporting it when 1he House votes laier today.

A check of lhc delegation Monday showed thai 16 Texan!, including Republican Sen. Phil Gramm, have pledged support ror 1he 123nation pact Bailey Kay Se n.

Hutchison, R-Teus, was among the uncommitted.

Another five Texans leaned in favor of GATT. It was un• certain how the 01her four would vote.

The accord, which the Sena1e will vote on Thursday, would cul worldwide tariffs by one third and lower global barriers to 1he sale or American intellectual prop• erty and services.

Critics are concerned lhat GATT could undermine U.S. sovereignty and result in a shift of manufacruring jobs to low-wage countries. But the opposition has been far less vocal than during last year's debate over the North American Free Trade Agreement " This GATI agreement not only tears down trade barriers, h also bulldoze., dif. rercnces of pany, philosophy and ideology," President Ointon said Monday in a laSl appeal for the pact The reduction•o f- tradebarri<n arsiime••playod ""'" in the Tens delegation las1 year during !he NAFTA de· bate. Only six Texans voted against NAFTA, which liberalizes trade between the United Slates, Mexico and Canida.

At least two Tcxns Ocmocra1s who voled against NAFTA are viewing GATT more ravorabl y: Reps .

Oiarles Wilson or Lufkin and Gene Green of Hous1on. " J look on GAIT as a worldwide treaty, whereas NAFTA was be1ween us and our neighbors," Green said. " I worried it was jusl so one• sided as 10 cause a loss of U.S. jobs to a lower. wage country, ' With GAIT, our com• pcri1iveness is the issue be· cause it's not just us and the Third World, it's the United States, Britain, France, Gennany, Japan and a host of other countries."

Green, who plans 10 support GAIT. said failure to ratify lhc accord would put the United S1a1es a1 a compel· itive disadvan111ge.

Republican Lamar Smith of San Antonio, who is leaning in favor of voting for GA TT ratificarion , cited NAFfA's successes. " As NAFTA has effec• tively demonstrated, eliminating trade barriers has yielded strong economic benefits throughout the U.S. and in the 21st District in panicular."

Democrat Solomon Oniz of Corpus Oiristi agreed that the rosy NAFTA scenario is helping 10 sell GAIT, which he is leaning toward supponing.

"NAfTA and this go hand in hand, really," he said. " They complement each other and I think (GATI) is needed as long as our rights as a trade nation arc re• speclcd."

Ortiz and Smith _ echoing many who remain somewhat ambivalent about GATI _ pointed out that the United S1ates can withdraw from the world trade pac1 wi1h six months' notice.

The vote involves far less soul-searchi ng for Rep. Bill

Sarpalius, D•Amarillo. who grappled for weeks last year before deciding to supporl NAFTA. The decision 10 suppon GAIT " was easy for me because 1he agriculture commodities will win under 1his bill," said Sarpalius. who was defeated earlier this mon1h and will cnst his final vo1e in this lame•duck session.

Sarpalius. who has more couon producers in his Panhandle district 1han any other member of Congress. said GAIT could increase U.S. cotton sales by more than I million bales. Wheat and sorghum sales also arc e1tpccted 10 rise. " My Canners will tum out robe real winners," he said.

If the edi1or docs not want lhe paper to be exciting, he is doing a great J0b. Furthermore, I'm sure Mark Feltner did not mean for the reporters 10 cause controversy just so they will have something to write about.

It's a chance for you 10 talk 10 everyone at MSU. You can be tough on us, but we can't print your letters if they are libelous of others.

The Dec. 8 issue will have a survey on which readers can indicate what they want from The Wichitan in Spring '95.

Find your personality WACO, Texas (AP)--What do doodles, dreams and how you draw a house have in common?

On the surface they seem insignificant. But they may be able to 1cll you something about yourself that you don't already know, or at least give you some1hing 10 think about.

Since people projecl themselves into their everyday activities, things such as drawings arc revealing about our lives, said Kimberly Bistis, who has a master's degree in clinical psychology and is a gradua1e student in the psychology doc1oral program 111 Baylor University.

Bistis doesn't use avant-garde 1echniques such as looking at the shape of lipstick. and doodles, but she agrees that lhey arc fun . For serious evaluations, she recommends using a professional.

She uses a b:ntery of teSIS, including the " House, Tree, Person," 10 help police dep:i.rtments weed out candida1cs who might have pathologies or underlying psychological problems. ' We projec1 aspects of ourselves onto the things 1ha1 we do and very often 1hese arc unconscious facts abou1 us," she said." I look for p:i.tterns that pop up in several tests."

Dr. Mark Pamle, assis1an1 profe ssor of psychology at Baylor University, said 1herc an: generalities one can make about drawings: a drawing of a person with a big head means the client is concerned aboul something that is going on in his or her life. On the other hand, a drawing of a person with spiked fingem:i.ils may signify the person is scared about what is going to happen in the future.

Bui overall Pantle places linle s1ock in "so called" pcrsonali1y predictors.

Projective techniques that nre widely nccepted in lhc psy· chology profession include 1he Rorschach inkblot res1, in which the test subjccl describes what he or she sees in a standard series of inkblots; sentence comple1ion, where the person in therapy complc1es ~ scnrcnc~ the therapist rea~s; and 1hc " House. Tree, Person test, which allows a therapist to analyze a person's drawings of 1hesc three objects.

The idea of personality assessments such as these arc anchored in Freudian 1hcory, which says we subconsciously project ourselves into 1he things we do.

But for those of us without the experience and training for in1crprcting these items. a 1ube of lipstick, doodles and other handy i1ems will have to do.. Here is a list of objects and simple 1es1s you can use on fnends and mates to learn more about their personalities or just 10 have fun:

HOUSE, TREE, PERSON

example, dead branches may indicate the person is de• pressed or has had 10 deal with stressful situations recendy.

Sketchy, overlapping leaves may represent a fantasy life because the top of the tree represents the head of a person.

•People: in drawings reveal something about lhc artist b:i.scd on the facial expressions drawn and the size of the drawing's head in rela1ion 10 1he rest of the body. If the anns in the drawing are stiff and spear-like, the test subjcc1 may be cold or unfulfilled. If the anns are open and welcoming. lhc artist may be nice or happy.

• Houses: represcn1 early or prcsen1 home life. Windows arc revealing depending on their size, location and openness.

Arc the windows adequate for a house its size? Arc they open wi1hout panes, cunains or blinds? If lhe windows arc open, the drawing may mean the person is accessible 10 other people. A walkway leading 10 the house may mean the person is accessible, bu1 if it has 101s of steps or bumpy stairs and a fence, he or she may be feigning accessibility and could be harder to get 10 know than he or she pretends.

FACIAL FEATURES Blame your gene-pool on this personality predictor.

Facial features are the personality predictor over which we have no conuol. S1ill, they may give us some clues abou1 why people act a certain way.

Here's the low down: •Round face: laid back and down to eanh.

•Square face: energetic and impulsive.

• Rec1angular face: a great leader and adventurous. .--rriangular face: impatienl.

•oval face: op1imistic and affectionate.

•Big jaw: physically strong.

•Clenched jaw: 1empcramen1al.

•Square jaw: down to eanh and level-headed.

•Oval jaw: anistic, loves beauty.

•Dimpled chin: friendly, popular.

•weak chin: follows the crowd.

DREAMS For analyzing dreams who belier 10 1um to than the master of psychoanalysis himself. Sigmund Freud. In his book " The Jn1erpreta1ion of Dreams" he a11aches some of these meanings to dreams: •Failing tem: Ever wake up in 1he middle of the night sweating because you dreamed you failed a test? h's com• mon, according to Freud's book. Dreams of failing tes1s usu:i.lly only occur in people who have successfull y completed school. They usually crop up when a person has a sc• rious accivity planned ror the next day and is afraid ii will be a fiasco.

•Nudity in public: Dreams of jogging naked or being inadequately dressed in front of strangers, according to Freud. usually signify a distressing feeling of shame, especially if 1hc person wan1s 10 hide his or her naked body. These dreams are based on memories of early childhood when we arc seen in inadequ:i.te clothing by strangers. The person may long for 1hose days when they could walk :i.round nude and feel no shame.

For the " House. Tree. Person" test, the subject draws the three items separa1ety in this order: house, tree, then a per· son. Everything concerning 1he drawing is data, including how 1he subject approaches the !ask. the amount of lime spent on each ~wing ~nd_i1s derails. . . .

Herc's a bnef descnpuon on how B1s11s in1erpre1s !he drawings of her clients: •Tree s: give an in-dcp1h look al personality or 1hc subconscious because i1 is easier for a people 10 project aspec1s of 1hcmsclves 0010 something ambiguous. such as a 1rcc. For Sec page 6

Personality

• Flying; Dreams whcrc prople find themselves 0ying ~hrough the_air w1_th agreeable feelings or falling wuh feel• mgs of anx1e1y bnng bnck impressions of childhood. These dreams may represent the fact 1hc person 1s 1-11II childlike or wnnts 10 panic1pate in games th:u arc a1trac1ive 10 children.

DOODLES

If you find yourself doodling ln meetings or while you're 1alk1ng on thc 1elephone, whiu you choose 1o draw may h:tvc some mca~ings behind it. Ba:-cd on symbolism. here's wh:i.t doodles n11gh1 mean: •A s~n: I~ ii shines over a house. i1 may signify 1hilt the person .,s fnendly and warm. If 11 is ovenhildowed by clou~s. 11 may mean the person has 1hings dulling his or her happiness. . •Q~1ali1y o_f lines:. Heavy dark lines mar mean the person 1~ having :mx1e1y or 1s angry ~t>?ut some1hmg. Sketchy. light Imes may mean the person 1s insecure or on 1he defensive about something.

•Animals: A lion may be a symbol of pride and strength or a cover up for feelings of inadequacy. A mouse or ra1. perceived as pesu in society, may me:i.n the person feels worthless.

•Daggers: Represent pain or anger.

•Heans: Represem romance and love.

•Boxes and geometric figures: The person may be in deep 1hough1 about something 1hat is going on in his or her life.

LIPSTICK

The tip-of-1he-lipstick personality predictor is strictly for fun. The curva1urc of the tip of a person's lipstick inevitably depends on 1he shape of her lips and the cream's newness.

Here's whal the curvature may also tell about its owner: •Flat on top: The owner is heavy•handed. precise, spends lo1s of time complecing a 1ask. :qi •carved out and curved on one side: Full of personality and impulsive. Doesn't mind change.

•Sloped slightly on the side wi1h linle deviation from how it was when the owner bough! it Very neat and precise.

Likes to keep things at a stand still.

•Rounded at the top: Fantasizes a 101 about life. Likes to 1alce chances.
