Shevardnadze’s v isit comes after a year of rapid progress in bilateral re lations expected to culminate this spring when Mikhail S. Gorbachev becomes the first Soviet leader to travel to China since 1959. During his three-day stay, She vardnadze is to hold two rounds of talks with his Chinese counterpart, Qian Qichen, and will meet with Pre mier Li Peng. He is also to travel to Shanghai for a meeting Saturdav with China’s top leader, Deng Xiaoping. Shevardnadze is not scheduled to meet Communist Party head Zhao Ziyang, Eastern European sources said. China apparently wants to wait for Gorbachev before officially rec ognizing a restoration of relations between the two parties. Qian, who in December became the first Chinese foreign minister to hold talks in Moscow in 32 years, told Australian Foreign Minister Ga reth Evans on Monday that the Cam bodian conflict would be high on the agenda. Soviet support for Vietnam’s inva sion of Cambodia has been the last and hardest sticking point in Sino- Soviet discussions on normalizing political ties. But China, apparentlv satisfied that Moscow' w'ants Vietnam to end its w r ar against the Chinese-backed resistance in Cambodia, agrees that conditions for a summit have been met. The Gorbachev visit, which could come as early as the second half of March, would be the first since Ni kita S. Khrushchev met his ideologi cal foe Mao Tse-tung in Beijing in 1959. Khrushchev, already feuding with Mao over the leadership and direc tion of world communism, at that meeting rescinded an offer to pro vide China a prototype atomic bomb. The next year, Moscow with drew more than 1,000 technicians and ended all assistance for China's industrial and military development. Relations reached a nadir in 1969 when troops along the border clashed and Mao called on the na tion to prepare for all-out war. Political normalization talks started in 1982, but made little head way because of what China calls the “three obstacles”: Cambodia, the So viet intervention in Afghanistan and Soviet military presence along the Chinese border. But 1988 proved “particularh auspicious” for Sino-Soviet relations, the authoritative weekly Beijing Re view said in its latest edition. Ii cited Gorbachev's decision to leave Af ghanistan and his announcement of major troop reductions in Soviet-alh Mongolia and along the Sino-Soviet border. Last August the two sides for the first time held direct talks on how to solve the Cambodian conflict, and in October they settled most of their disputes along the eastern sector ol the 5,000-mile border. Qian, returning from his historic visit to Moscow in December, said. ‘T he most important result was that we started the normalization proc ess.” But the Chinese also emphasize there will be no regression to the relationship of the 1950s, when the newly founded communist state in China depended on Soviet economic aid and followed the Soviet lead in international affairs. Normal relations with Moscow, the Beijing Review' said in an indi rect reference to the United States, “will not affect the development of friendly relations between China and other countries. Washington, whose own normali zation of relations w'ith China was in part spurred by common concern over the Soviet military threat, has welcomed the Sino-Soviet rap prochement, saying it will ease ten sions. Committee won’t budge on prison bond bill AUSTIN (AP) — Despite the governor s call for $200 million in new prison bonds, the head of the House Corrections Committee said Tuesday he doesn’t plan to move forward with such legislation until he’s convinced it’s the only way to go. “I’m carrying the bonding bill. That doesn’t mean it’s coming out (of committee),” Rep. Allen Hightower, D- Huntsville, said. “I’m going to hold that bill until I’m satisfied that that’s the only answer for this session.” Clements has urged constructing facilities with the capacity for nearly 11,000 new prison beds, financed by a total of $343 million in bonds. About $140 million in bonds already earlier was approved for prisons but not used, so another $200 million would be needed to implement his plan. Opponents have voiced concern about bond financing costs. The governor endorsed such items as mandatory flat-time sentences for repeat offenders and increased penalties for assaulting police officers. He also indi cated support for such prison alternatives as intensive supervision of parolees and probationers. “The same folks that are advocating 11,000 beds and bonding $340 million have a crime package that will send more inmates to TDC (Texas Department of Cor rections) than the 11,000 beds they want . . . This legis lature is already planning to send enough with en hanced punishments to fill those beds,” Hightower said. “The goal of the state should be that within the re sources we have available, we structure our criminal jus tice system to incarcerate violent people and find pro gressive management areas for the other people,” Hightower said. The bonding measure is scheduled to come up in the House Corrections Committee on Wednesday. Charles Terrell of Dallas, chairman of the Texas Board of Corrections, said, “I just want to get the units on line and protect the people from the early release of violent offenders, and I want to get our other programs going.” Sen. John Montford, a key opponent to prison bond construction, renewed his opposition to Clements’ plan.

Ph.D. student lectures on basics of psychological dream analysis / Ph.D. student Cathy Copeland presents the lecture “Dreams” Tuesday evening in a program sponsored by the Jungian So ciety of the Brazos Valley. By Sharon Maberry STAFF WRITER Dreams can be exciting, confusing or frightening; but they generally mean different things to different people. While there are many theories about the sources of dreams, Dr. Carl Jung, a Swiss psychologist, pro vides one of the most well-known ideas as to the source of dreams, Texas A&M psychology Ph.D. stu dent Cathy Copeland said in a lec ture on dreams Tuesday. Specific images often are attrib uted to external stimuli such as indi gestion, loud noises or a light being turned on. However, Jung believed dream images were psychically stim ulated by everyday occurrences con cerning the dreamer’s family, job or past events. Jung believed dreams were not a disguise, but rather, translated thoughts and emotions into imagery, Copeland said. He believed the pur pose of dreams is to bring sub conscious ideas into people’s con scious thoughts. The language of dreams is com plex and often metaphorical, Cope land said. In Jungian psychology, a pig might represent someone with no manners and a kitten might rep resent a weak individual. Walking over a bridge symbolizes an individ ual is undergoing a transition in life, she said. According to Jungian psychology, there are four major steps to analyz ing dreams, Copeland said. The first step is determining if the dream has a complete structure, she said. Complete dreams have four phases, much like a play. The begin ning of the dream establishes the set ting, the main characters and the sit uation with which the dreamer is faced. The next phase is devel opment of the plot. The third phase is culmination, when something de cisive happens. The final stage in cludes a solution or result of the dream. The second major step in analyz ing dreams is to establish the drearr content, Copeland said. This step in cludes the conscious situation of the dreamer and information from the dreamer’s environment. The third step, Copeland said, is to characterize the dream images as objective or subjective. An objective image is just what it appears to be in the dream. A subjective image rep resents a facet of the dreamer’s per sonality. “You must pay attention to accu racy,” Copeland said. “A figure in a dream that is not portrayed quite ac curately should be viewed as part of the dreamer’s psyche.” The fourth step in analyzing dreams is to form a hypothesis based on gathered information, Copeland said. “You should put this hypothesis to test along with the relevant facts you’ve gathered,” she said. The four tests for the hypothesis are: • Does the interpretation click with the dreamer? Does it fit? • Does the interpretation act for the dreamer? Has the dreamer un dergone a change of attitude? • Is the interpretation confirmed by subsequent dreams? • Do the events anticipated in the interpretation occur in actual life? Copeland said if the interpreta tion passes any of the four tests, it is at least partially correct. It is important to remember that dreams never may be fully analyzed, Copeland said. “Jung warned against being satis fied with a vague understanding of a dream,” she said. “He said to treat it as an unknown object. Carry it around with you, imagine what it could be and talk to others about it.” For those interested in analyzing their own dreams, Copeland sug gested keeping a dream journal. “With a journal, you can refer back to it and you can notice com mon motifs in your dreams,” she said. “Jung said the main thing is to stick to the images in the dreams and avoid free association (because that) brings out your complexes^ 2 Liter COKE $1.00 with $5 dry cleaning SOUTHWOOD DRY-CLEANERS “Dry Cleaning With A Personal Touch’ 1333 FM 2818 College Station 693-4426 2Liter COKE _ FREE with $10 dry cleaning “All Your Laundry And Dry Cleaning Needs” LEARN JAPANESE FROM JAPANESE in JAPAN Live in a complete Japanese environment for one year (or four).
