Communicating without words
Touch enhances perception
By JUDY DUNN
For a few minutes Tuesday night,
eight nervous couples in the Memo
rial Student Center sat across from
their partners, touching hands and
looking into each other’s eyes.
They were participating in touch
ing and eye contact exercises con
ducted by Dr. Josh Crane, associate
professor in the speech and com
munication section of the English
department. The purpose of the
exercises was to show American
Humantics students the importance

of non-verbal communication.
“Non-verbal communication is a
very important part of our everyday
lives,” Crane said.
For American Humantics stu
dents it is especially important.
They plan a career in administering
youth agencies.
He said touching and eye contact
are very important in working with
people.
“You must be aware of how other
people perceive you,” he said.
Crane conducted exercises cover
ing areas in non-verbal communica
tion such as person perception,
name perception, color coding and
proxemic space.
In the person perception exer
cise, Crane showed that most
people form assumptions about
others when meeting for the first
time. He asked two strangers he had
brought to the workshop to answer a
few questions about themselves.
After students heard their re
sponses, they were told to describe
the strangers as friendly, confident,
or liberal in written responses. The
answers were then compared to the
strangers’ responses about them
selves. Many assumptions of the
students were correct, but some
were not.
Crane showed that people also
tend to make assumptions about
names. He said that people assume
someone has certain qualities after
only hearing the person’s name.
This, he said, is also a type of non
verbal communication.
In the color coding exercise,
Crane called out moods and types of
emotions to the group. Participants
were asked to respond by writing
down a color they associated with
the mood or emotion. A mood such
as “exciting” made many people
think of the color red, while “se
cure” made them think of blue. This
exercise showed that colors, a type
of non-verbal communication,
evoke certain emotions from
people.
Proxemics is the study of non
verbal communication in distances,
Crane said. The proxemic space
exercise showed how people con
sider a close distance between
people to be friendly and casual,
md consider great distances to be
impersonal. Students felt that dis
tances up to 18 inches were
friendly.

LEADERSHIP
Bob Krueger is a candidate for
the United States Senate, and he
is no newcomer when it comes
to meeting the challenge of an
important task.
Deeply rooted family ties in his
home town of New Braunfels in
stilled in him a strong sense
of integrity, a respect for hard
work, the unique strength of our
free enterprise system and a con
cern for helping others develop
their full potential.
After successful careers in
higher education, ranching and
business, Krueger entered his
first political race in 1974 for U.S.
Congressman of the vast 21st
District. The politicians gave
him no chance. The people
elected him. And re-elected him
by one of the widest margins in
Texas political history. Once in
Washington he quickly emerged
as a new national leader and
was voted the Most Effective
Freshman Congressman.
Bob Krueger, since 1973, has
called himself an "Independent
Democrat," independent of
power politics and narrow parti
sanship. He listens to every
viewpoint. Then he votes, not
just for what is politically popu
lar but for what is best for the
people of our state and nation.
Whether advocating a strong
national defense, better health
care, less governmental inter
ference in our daily lives, more
fiscal responsibility, a strong
agriculture or a sound and pro
ductive energy program—when
Bob Krueger takes a stand he is
a tough, intelligent fighter for
his beliefs.
The people of Texas need more
than just a vote in the U.S. Sen
ate—we need a strong, inde
pendent voice of leadership.
With your help Bob Krueger can
be that leader for Texas.
