Dr. Judith Hall, an assistant pro fessor of psychology, said her studies have shown women to be superior to men in non-verbal communication. Based on. testing and review of studies in the same field. Hall found that in 51 of 61 studies, involving more than 10,000 people, women perform better than men in inter preting non-verbal cues conveyed through facial expressions, tone and rhythm of voice, body gestures and posture. Hall developed a test in which more than 200 non-verbal cues are presented in brief segments in a film and subjects are asked to decide whether the sender of the cues — who is Hall herself — is behaving dominantly or submissively. In more than 75 percent of the tests, females scored higher than males. The sex and age of the cue sender was irrelevant. The age of the female subjects also made no difference; elementary school female students scored higher than their male counterparts to the same degree as adult women DOC DOC DOC zxyc DtiC ^OC DOC DOC DOC J- s J?? cM^io/idcfe NOON-SEVEN 75c bar drinks 40c beer % % < NORTHGATE (Next to the Dixie Chicken) MIC X>C ■N MSC Political Forum presents Senator Jake Garn (R-Utah) MSC Recreation Presents “U.S.-Russian Military Tensions” Monday Nov. 13 8 p.m. MSC 206 achieved better scores than adult men. ‘‘This raises all kinds of intriguing questions,” Hall said. “Why are women more sensitive to non-verbal communication than men? Is it ge netic or does it come as a result of social pressures that women have been subjected to more so than men? What will be the efiect of the current feminist movement on wo men’s superiority in this area?” She is continuing her studies to try to find answers to these ques tions. Women are often thought of as being more empathetic and more sensitive than men. This might be considered part of intuition but Hall said that term is scientifically use less. She said, however, that a better understanding of non-verbal com munication will add to knowledge of personal relationships and cultural differences. “A lot of the implicit understand ing of what happens in a relationship is not a matter of what people say to each other,” she said. “It’s how they say it, how they use their voice, where they direct their eyes, and the distance they put between out another.” Hall said possible answers tow men’s superiority in picking op non-verbal cues could be theoriesof oppressed people and womensde sire to be what society expects thee to be — sensitive and intuitive, Under the theory of oppresseil people, women who believe flu; are dominated by men areforcec pick up non-verbal cues as a met) of protection and a weapon counter male dominance, she said Hall also said it is possiblewomei have developed better abilities interpreting non-verbal commmi cation because it is expected oftfe by society. Some of the studies encountered indicated that people have a choice between va bal messages and non-verbal ran munication, they often weip non-verbal information more hen ily. She said people seem to ha«i "gut sense” that there is truth non-verbal cues.

Cullen Davis. District Judge Wallace C. Moore denied the motion and ordered Joe H. Eidson, 60, former judge in the defendant’s four-year divorce case, to continue his testimony today. Davis, 45, is charged with con- _ spiring, attempting and soliciting the death of Eidson. The alleged plot, brought to the attention of the FBI by an informant, resulted in Davis’s arrest Aug. 20. Eidson testified Thursday about his numerous rulings in the Davis divorce case — many of which were adverse to Davis — and mentioned that he had disqualified himself as presiding judge nine days after the defendant’s arrest. “Prior to that time, your honor, had there been any attempt by re spondent (Davis) to remove you from this case?” prosecutor Tolly Wilson asked. Before Eidson could answer, de fense lawyer Richard “Racehorse” Haynes asked for private discussions between Moore and opposing attor neys at the judge’s bench Haynes protested that Wilson remark tainted the jury because inaccurately characterized a motio to transfer the divorce suit aw from Eidson. Moore ruled the remark wi proper because Davis indeed la sought to remove Eidson from 1 case in a motion filed last Febnan Then Moore denied Haynes’s tion for a mistrial. Prosecutors said Hayness ant ments were designed to previ jurors from hearing evidenced possible motive for Davis to 1m the judge slain. "Due to the nature of the oni (Eidson’s rulings) and Davis's to have him removed, he k exhausted the methods available! him to have Eidson replaced, LEGA cus bat fori M0SI All will MBA-1 cha law fiefr Tex CROS!
