merely everyday students suffering from end-of-sc- (nester stress — a com m on campus malady.

1 Just anending colleg e is stressful in and o f itself. But IUPUI, as a non-traditional, com muter cam pus, finds many students regularly juggling classes, jobs and family responsibilities.

' And the last few w eeks o f class, especially finals w eeks, produce record numbers o f stressed-out classgoers w ho wear them selves down by trying to com press a whole sem ester’s studying into a few all-night cram ses­

sions.

■ Finals can be a pain. These last, big tests cause anxiety because they pack a wallop — often representing 50 per- te n t or more o f a sem ester grade. A lso, many professors hold comprehensive finals, packing four months o f infor­

mation into one tw o-hour exam. On top o f that, finals all take place during the sam e week, and students taking multiple classes find them selves studying for several tests pi once.

; This anxiety interferes not only with sleep and work, it (a n interfere with the quality o f a student's education, p verly-stressed students do poorly on tests and write poor papers. Furthermore, stressful co lleg e experiences ta n contribute to high student dropout rates.

| But volume o f work isn't the only culprit. Students also {nay be stressed because they have trouble understanding Or absorbing class material.

I For help, students should first approach their instruc­

tors. Many teachers offer study guides, and can help orga­

nize study groups. Most instructors will make time to lis­

ten to students w ho experience problems with understanding.

; But instructors can't give test answers away. S o the University C ollege Learning Center offers peer mentoring iervices, through which trained facilitators assist groups p f students in working out problems among themselves.

: W hile it may be too late for students to take advantage 6 f Exam Jams week, the Center also offers free handouts on managing stress and relieving test anxiety com plete with study tips and breathing exercises.

Students at the end o f their ropes may visit IUPUI C ounseling and Psychological Services. CAPS offers counseling services free o f charge to students w ho need guidance or just somewhere to unload.

People from all around the world come here to learn more about contracting out as a tool for reinventing government.

It is hard to live in Indianapolis under Mayor Stephen Goldsmith and not hear of privatization. Proponents praise the benefits of a smaller government which can save money and provide better services. Opponents offer opinions that government should be responsible for certain basic human services, and for-profit organizations may take advantage of their government connections.

Privatization has become the buzzword for the 1990s and will certainly con­

tinue into the next century.

In private organizations, the lack of red-tape and the ease in developing in­

novative concepts means new ideas may be brougtg into stale government bu­

Looking at all the functions of gov ernment, many areas are Just basic busi­

ness transactions which easily can be transferred to the private sector. We do need to find a point, however, where we demand our government use its au­

thority to provide public services such as police protection or prisons.

While private, for-profit firms hold most government contracts for public services in Indianapolis, there arc other options. Many nonprofit organizations provide public services. While their bids for service contracts many not be as

Certainly not one who plans on running.. „ It is obvious that despite political rhetoric, privatization is not a hlack-and- r white issue. Inefficiency and bureaucracy should not be rewarded. Ingenuity : and hard work deserve recognition and financial recompense. It is not arguable ***

there are some jobs which belong within the realm of government (e.g. police—

Lavin doesn't think it's fair that women flaunt their skin and body parts in front of men because men, of course, can­

not help but stare. And if women don't want to be assaulted by men, they shouldn't entice them.

Well, Lavin can try to present this modesty “movement”

as some friendly advice to women, but it's really the same story women have been hearing for years. And offering it in the fashion section of the Chicago Tribune Magazine doesn't suddenly make it trendy.
