This intuitively makes sense to me because I would expect that individuals
either don't ask out, or are intimidated by, people who are more attractive
than they are (ceteris paribus).  On the other hand, people probably don't
want to go out with people they perceive as being "uglier" than themselves.

I did a study where I interviewed kindergarteners.  I needed to know SES,
but rather than ask the children, I had the parents fill out a brief form
when they signed the permission slip for me to interview the child.  I asked
other questions about the child that the child could not reliably answer,
as well.

As far as how did I measure SES, I used a gross measure of how much schooling
did the parents have, but you could also ask about occupation and use the
Hollingshead ranks.

Subject:      RE: Gestalt

..I'd advise picking up one of the introductory level texts in sensation/
perception (a reasonable example is _Sensation and Perception_, by Matlin
and Foley), reading the sections on Gestalt psychology/perception, and
following up the references there.

This is a curious topic, I think. There are tons of references from the
1930's and '40's, then an apparent gap of about 35-40 years, and a new
series from the 1980's. There's probably a really good historical
research project in there somewhere.

On another slant, every intro psych textbook devotes a couple of pages to
the traditional Gestalt "laws of organization" demonstrations, with
typically little discussion of more current applications/explanations of
those principles. Why is this? "Face validity," because they are so
easily presented on the printed page and so reliably seen by essentially
any observer?

Football, like anything meaningful, must be understood to be
appreciated.  If you don't understand symbolism, you are unlikely to
enjoy good literature.  If you don't fathom variations on a theme you
will probably tire of a symphony.  If you think the scientific method
is a form of birth control, psychological journals will undoubtably be
unreadable.  And if you don't know the difference between an end run
and a "hail mary", you'll probably say foolish things about people who
enjoy football.

...with no direct experience on the matter, my impression is that the
arrangement in women's restrooms is generally such (i.e., there are
separate stalls, typically with doors on them) that personal space
invasion is not quite so apparent as it would be in the typical men's
room with a line of urinals hanging on the wall cheek-by-jowl (so to
speak). In effect, a minimum interpersonal distance is enforced in
women'
(oops) s restrooms.

Extrapolating/extending the comment, in crowded situations, men are
persistently space-invaded, women aren't because of the physical
layout of the respective restrooms. Couple that with the additional
clothing manipulations women are faced with (perhaps the more important
element in per capita time involved).

Here at Indiana University we use a product called IPCP.  We can close files
from batch jobs while  leaving CICS up.  The problem with closing and
disabling the  file but not being able to delete the file is I believe that
MVS still believes CICS has control of the file.  When we use IPCP to close
files, we CLOSE and DEALLOCATE the file which allows us to delete or  update
the file.  As far as journal 6, we use IPCP to close the journal which has
the same affect as dropping CICS.  Our OPAC is available except between
2am - 5am and Sunday from 2am-10am for system work.  Our CICS region is only

Yes and no, the problem you have is that without VTAM in the VSE machine
it is difficult at best to attach your printer to a specific port as the
printer is an output only device.  A possible solution to your problem is
to write two VM service machine programs. The first, when autologed on
attaches to specific ports on the VSE guest. He will intercept all output
bound for the bit bucket and either buffer or save to disk the output.
The second service machine is loged on to by a terminal which has a printer
attached to it.  The second vertiual machine will talk to the first
virtual machine using IUCV to receive the output destined for the printer.
Then in the DOS session of the PC, which is running DFT software, you
write a program to accept data from the second VM service machine using
the CMSSERV interface.  The DOS session takes the data and drive the
printer.  This can be done and does work.

    My recollection is that you have to fix it when you call up the
incompleted invoices or unapproved invoices because to "done" or
approve you must have a year in there or the system refuses to take
the command. Now if the invoice is already approved there is no
problem, and you couldn't fix it anyway after it is approved. I may
be wrong, but I know if you want to change a payment you have to
fix it. I can get Glinda to go pull some old vouchers and look and
see if there are any that we did not change because we did not need
to change a payment, but I'd need a date of conversion so we would
know where to look. Actually the more I think about it, the more I
recall: you can't fix just the fy dates, you have to rekey the prices
and let the system insert the fy into the 00/00, so we probably did
not fix all of them, just those we needed to touch, unless it did
refuse to let us approve them. Can you give me a date it was done and
I can check?

SInce going to 5.1 on Sunday we have had reports that service units
trying to charge an item recalled by a reserve or carrel pseudo-patron
to that pseudo-patron results in an AICA abend. So far I have not
gotten reports of this problem for other patrons categories.

Has anybody else experienced this or maybe have a hunch where to
look? I have examined by Patron Policy info in LSYS and except for
rush recall parameter there does not seem to be a differece in the way
the various patron categories are defined.

We've had 24-hr a day access for four years now.  CICS stays up all
the time, and I code our JCL so that when a file is scheduled for
update, the operator closes that file, reopening it after the job
completes.  This results in a few minutes or so when the database
might not truly be available, but nobody ever seems to notice it.  The
advantage to folks dialing in and telnetting to us is obvious and well
worth the time I spend putting PAUSEs in the JCL -- and the relatively
few times an operator who is asleep at the switch has forgotten to close a
file for update!  This "feature" of our OPAC is greatly appreciated by
both faculty and students.
