• WORlD NEWS BRIEFS Northern Ireland looks Clinton eyes Social Security fix to reform police BELFAST, Northern Ireland Britain's governor for Northern freland launched a bid today to reform the province's largely Protestant police, a force that Roman Catholic militants despise. While Belfast peace talks resumed, Mo Mowlam announced a review of the Police Authority, a civilian bureaucracy that is supposed to ensure community-wide oversight of police - but is in fact boycotted by most Catholic representatives. Mowlam urged Protestant and Catholic negotiators to make the author­ ity "a robust, independent body, capable of representing the views, wishes and concerns of the community." Reform of the 12,000- strong police force, the Royal Ulster Constabulary. is part of the wider search for a peace settlement in Northern Ireland. Militant Catholics want to abolish the state, which has a dwindling pro-British Protestant majority. Tho force, often working in flak jackets and armored cars after three decades of anti-terrorist duties, is 93 percent Protestant. Despite the high salaries police jobs offer. many Catholics would never con­ sider joining what they consider an alien and overtly British institution. Others fear the Irish Republican Army, which has killed about 300 police officers and imposes a heavy social penalty on Catholics who join the force.

Without making the very dangerous claim that we can achieve such visions by simple human will, l do think that both prophets intended them to play a vital role in shaping our admittedly more mundane aspira­ tions and choices. Eschatological visions serve as something of a moral compass. And we forfeit them at great peril. The King James Version of Proverbs 29:18 is both eloquent and ominous: "Where there is no vision. the people perish." On some level the Olympic games are an eschatolog­ ical vision. The five-colored interlocking rings on the Olympic flag promise the possibility of unity across boundaries of continent and country. The ceremonial pageantry affirms diversity within a global communi­ ty. And the competitions themselves offer the ideal of celebrating the human spirit and the pursuit of human excellence. (Though I will readily grant that our media coverage and our medal counts often fall far short of this ideal.) Still, I draw this parallel because I think that to empty the Olympics of their value as vision, to reduce them to matters of inconsequence beside such "sacred" notions as the national interest, is a perilous path - and it is the path onto which we as a nation have turned. Last week, as the intensity of the Iraq crisis grew, the International Olympic Committee asked the United States to forestall any military attack until after the games had ended. Defense Secretary William Cohen replied that "external events" like the Olympics would play no role in any military timetable, suggesting it would be irresponsible to hold back a possible U.S. attack on account of the games. White House spokesperson Mike McCurry further explained, the president's foremost obligation is simply to protect national interests.

COLLEGE STRESS STRESS. It's that collection of mounting pressures and creeping anxieties, all-night panics and heart-pounding emo­ tions. It's the agony of making big decisions, or coping with a maze of small problems. Each of us perceives stress and bruary copes with it in a different way. A situation that is comfortable - even energizing- for one person may drive another up the wall. So each of us has a "stress threshold" and when that personal limit is crossed, we can experience some very negative effects, emotionally and physically. THE BIG FIVE Five types of pressures seem to cause students the most trouble during college: Separation from family. Freedom. Competition. Peer pressure Choosing a career. It's nearly impossible to make it through college without experiencing at least one of the Big Five, and sometimes it's hard to know whether the pressures are spurring you on or dragging you down. Yet making that distinction is essen­ tial to your own health and success. What to do? Read on .... SUCCESS WITH STRESS How can you know when you're slipping from a healthy, motivating level of stress into harmful "distress"? Here are some of the telltale symptoms: General irritability, hyper-excitedness, or depression. Pounding of the heart. An overpowering urge to cry or run and hide. Inability to concentrate. Feelings of unreality, weakness, and dizziness. Frequent fatigue. Floating anxiety (being afraid, but not knowing what you're afraid of). Migraine headaches. Emotional tension and alertness (being "keyed up"). Trembling; nervous tics. Tendency to be easily startled by small sounds. High-pitched, nervous laughter. Stuttering and other speech difficulties.
