Mark White, former Gov. Bill
Clements elevated Pope to the
chief justice spot.
The Senate has so far refused
to confirm Pope. Some mem
bers have asked him to agree to
resign before the end of White’s
term so that the governor can
have a chance to name his suc-
But Pope has refused to
agree to the deal, saying the
Supreme Court should not be
making such agreements with
the Senate.
“We highly commend Chief
Justice Pope who has refused to
allow politics to interfere with
his position,” said Munisteri.
“There’s no place in the judici
ary for politics to get involved.”
Munisteri said the confronta
tion between Pope and the Sen

legislation that require states
judges to be elected on a non
partisan basis.

Humor can relieve stress
-
Doctor advocates laughing
United Press International
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.
— For Dr. Joel Goodman,
L CHUf. humor is serious business.
AT TAIL Goodman, founder of the
{Humor Project in Saratoga
MsWcOrtglripcrs conducts workshops
is as tte Ct Y °, . , . r
canComYv'here he tries to improve peo-
jpje’s “laugh lives.”
I More than 30,000 people
‘^ ave atten< Jed his workshops
5 “ 'since the Humor Project began
in 1978.
riesofScnw, : Goodman, 34, says humor is
porta lit for good health.
I “If people could laugh 15
iy will and jjtiines a day, there would be few-
jer doctor bills,” he says,
ometoiwH “Future doctors, instead of
saying ‘Take two aspirins, go to
bed and call me in the morning,’
will say ‘Watch a Lily Tomlin
special, go to bed and call me in
the morning.’”
Goodman, who holds a doc
torate in education, says humor
can reduce stress.
“Stress is not an event, but a
perception of an event and
humor can be used to alter our
perceptions, our attitudes and
how we approach a situation,”
he said.
At his workshops, which he
has conducted for the New York
State Department of Mental
Health, the United Methodist
Church, and the U.S. Army
among other organizations,
Goodman offers practical ways
on how people can bring humor
into their lives:
-—Listen to a record or tape of
your favorite comedian and de
termine what is the key to his
style of humor.
—Play with a young child for
an hour and observe what de
lights the young person and how
you might translate the child’s
sense of humor to an adult level.
—Write a humorous auto
biography.
—Read the comic strips every
day for a week. Make notes on
which strips made you laugh or
which ones weren’t funny at all.
Then try to determine common
themes in the comics that made
you laugh.
“Humor is all around us,”
Goodman says. “Wejust need to
remember that it’s in the eye of
the beholder.”
