What modern institution derives its name from the Greek word for "naked"? (First 5 to call with answer get free review!) Answer appoars Monday Last Monday's answer: There were two "Hundred Years' Wars." One between France and England lasted 116 years, and one between Genoa and Venice lasted 125 years. 846-TUTOR Look for our ads on www.4.0andGo.com ondays and Thursdays TAMU Aggielife :e Thursday • February20,' Handwriting Continued from Page 3 Duncan McIntosh, author of the article “Reading Character Between the Lines,” said handwriting analy sis is increasingly being used in hir ing and employee assessment. “Although the use of grapholo gy alone will not guarantee the hiring of the perfect employee, a handwriting analysis prior to em ployment will provide the em ployer with an in-depth knowl edge of the personality and ability of the candidate to help with the hiring decision,” McIntosh said. “Handwriting analysis can also be used to determine the most suitable candidate for pro motion and to assist in employee counseling.” The features and overall patterns in handwriting are clues to person ality traits. By studying and group ing them within relevant categories, the graphologist can construct an accurate picture of the person who wrote the lines. Ruth Brayer, a handwriting ex pert, said in Sales & Marketing Man agement magazine that signatures on business documents generally can be classified by size. “People with signatures more than one-fourth inches in height and those placed farther to the right side of the page are usually risk takers, take-charge leaders and pacesetters,” Brayer said. “They’re your typical salespeople, in other words.” Brayer said medium-sized signatures, about three-fourth of an inch in size, are team players. She said their goal is interaction, and they tend to play strictly by the rules. “People with small signatures, less than one-eighth inches, placed toward the left hand of page and in an upright slant, keep cool, don’t get excited under pressure and in gen eral make good listeners and nego tiators,” Brayer said. Handwriting analysis also is used in banks and loan institu tions for credit ratings. The courts, attorneys and po lice use the analysis in cases of questioned and forged docu ments and anonymous letters or notes. Additionally, many personality characteristics can be discovered in one letter. Bart Baggett, a handwriting expert and certified therapist, said lying, low self-esteem and paranoia can be revealed in handwriting. “The letter ‘o’ is a communica tion letter,” Baggett said. “The bigger the loops the more the writer lies or the more secrets are being kept.” A low self-image is shown by a low “t bar.” “The cross of the letter t is on or below the top of the middle zone,” Baggett said. “To confirm any indication of self-esteem, look to the height of the cross on the letter t.” Paranoia is revealed when the loop in the d is inflated like a bal loon and/or flat on the top. “The amount of sensitivity as it re lates to the personal self is shown in the stem of the lower case d,” Baggett said. “The bigger the loop, the bigger the amount of sensitivity.” A complete handwriting analysis given by a competent graphologist runs between $50-75. Baggett said the easiest way to take inventory of one’s true person ality is to analyze one’s own hand writing or hire a professional hand writing analyst. “Personality shows through in our handwriting because writing re flects what we are and what we do,” Berk said. “It’s a part of us because we create it.” E* “ 4 —i —* VjI - > jomrr Jhines lies at Thursday February 28 Classie and Cedric Ballou, a rock/R&B band, is playing at Chelsea Street Pub and Grill at 9 p.m. MSC Film Society is hosting the Texas Film Festival in Rudder Theater.

Michelle Solberg, a folk musician Prophets Continued from Page 3 “We’re a bunch of hopeless ro mantics in a world of semantics,” he said. Gonzales said the band mem bers’ different musical tastes, rang ing from the Beatles to Abba, Jour ney and Iron Maiden, mix well. “Mike has the metal edge,” he said. “Even though he only plays die keyboard, he’s the leader of the band. The drummer’s hard core — he wants to be known as a man.” McKenzie, labeled “the silent one” by the other band members, is reminiscent of Dana Garvey’s Garth character in Wayne’s World. “I just like to play drums, I guess,” he said. Gonzales said the band has been “accused of being an ’80s band.” He said they would like to incorporate older tunes into their regular set. “We really aspire to to do a hard core version of Depeche Mode’s ‘Just Can’t Get Enough,”’ he said. “Mike still has his parachute pants in his closet.” Bishop said the Lost Prophets’ music contains a dynamic mix of soft and hard rock. “It adds a dimension of ele- from Austin, is playing at Sw? gene’s House of Java at9p.in,| Battle of the Bands, featuring Fysher, Latin Cheese Quartet, Jaz- ztop, Lewis and Blue Earth, all rock bands from Bryan-College Station, will be held at 3rd Floor Cantina at 8 p.m. Saturday February 22 Citizen Lane, a salsa funk band from Austin, is releasing their latest album at Marooned records at 5 p.m. Citizen Lane, a salsa funk band from Austin, is playing with Latin Cheese Quartet, a rock band from Bryan-College Station, at Dixie The atre at 8 p.m. 3EIJ1NG (A the last o |si revolutio Hied Mao’s r Ahed the w Is nation in [nity with < ps, died Wc Kinhua, Ch Incy,said he’ |h date in n remade him Though Dei it official post Big Apple Trio, a jazz bamn seen in pi Bryan-Coilege Station, is pla, |spent much Sweet Eugene’s House of J 9:30 p.m. Marcia Ball, a R&Bmusira Austin, is playing at 3rd FtaC na at 9:30 p.m. lestrating C kind the seen pd title: “part diile he pu Classie and Cedric Ball: rock/R&B band, is playingat( Ice bowl — lift Street Pub and Grill at 9 p.m. Muled with ai m suppress MSC Film Society is hosvIananmenSqu Texas Film Festival in Rudder'Ip tests — beli ■:e on his fii Ruthie Foster, a R&B miMdreds, peril from Bryan-College Station,is:«abloton the ■ig had achie Jle died at 9 IT p; ofrespirat at Fitzwilly’s at 10 p.m. ■Lire brought lis and the 1 It had stricke le-run Xinhu or iced early T _ Ifhefirst test t \e whether his I Communist ry Jiang Zei nger techno 1990s will w jneuvering e> lie coming n meeting o Islature next long Kong t 1 and a | |huffle top pc 1 provide cha py ambitious. !o one is exj Peeping Tom, a rock banding, who rec Bryan-College Station, isplayinAming Deng’; Blue Earth, a rock band from cwred chair of I College Station, at the CowHoflieralcommitt 9:30 p.m. Wakeland, an aeon band from Tennessee,) with Fysher, a rock banUm 1 Bryan-College Station, atDiirf atre at 8 p.m. Ex-1 LUBBOCK baches used lephen Gainer y.then discarc sseniorseasc jbility, the pi ideral lawsuit Gaines, whe kiders in the gance,” he said. “We can and acoustic.
