(AP) Women and health Learning to handle stress (Third in a series) By Catherine S. Chilman, Ph.D. MILWAUKEE - (NEA) - The current push for equality between the sexes gives women many new oppor tunities, but it may also in crease the stress they feel. The multiple demands of family, home and job create new problems such as finding reliable child care and seeing that the house work gets done along with job respon sibilities. As a result, many signs of stress appear: irritability, depression, ten sion, quarrels, gloomy silences and even physical ill ness. Difficult as it may seem, the first step is to face these problems openly. Married women will need to talk can didly with their husbands. This is not always easy because many men find it un comfortable to talk about problems within the family. No matter how angry, worried or depressed you may be, it is best to try calmly to analyze the situation together, with the goal of increasing un derstanding on both sides, and listening to each other. In this way you may be able to develop a plan for the work that can be shared by all members of the family, with clear and appropriate assignments for each member. If you have children, they should be consulted, too. Perhaps you and your husband will need to make ad justments in your jobs and daily schedules, or perhaps you can get a part or full-time housekeeper to help maintain family equilibrium. Divorce and separation rates are so high today that many women find themselves as single heads of families. Work over-load can be par ticularly stressful in these conditions. Discuss your feelings with a trusted friend. Where appropriate, explain your situation to your employer, who may be far more understanding than you imagine.

On the other hand, half of the women in the country do not have jobs outside the home. Many are content being full-time mothers and homemakers. If you are one of these women, you should resist pressure to enter the labor market against your wishes, for there are many values in giving yourself wholeheartedly to your fami ly, home and community. Another widespread, stress related phenomenon among women is depression. The causes of depression are quite varied. In some cases depres sion may have its roots in loneliness. In others, it is the fact that women have been brought up to be passive and unaccustomed to making the big decisions in their lives. Sometimes the combined pressures of job plus housekeeping may bring on a depressed emotional state. Just talking things over, therefore, may not be the answer. Under stress, some people become hyperactive and get even more tense and exhausted. Others tend to become overwhelmed and un- able to cope with their lives. If you find yourself tense and exhausted much of the time, you ought to have a thorough physical examina tion. Discuss with your physi cian whether you might also benefit from help from a professionally trained counselor, such as a family counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist. Far too many people turn to drugs and alcohol to alleviate stress. Unless drugs are taken on the advice and with the supervision of a physician, this is usually not a good idea. Drugs, like alcohol, may be dangerously habit-forming and cover up, rather than solve, the basic problems which cause stress. So much emphasis today is placed on achievement, on in dividual rights, and on material goods that we are in danger of losing sight of the fact that loving relationships are fundamental to our lives. Love requires sharing the joys and griefs that others feel, as well as our own. A full, loving partnership is becoming more and more possible in these days of equality between the sexes. And such a partnership, for those who can achieve it, is a great healer of stress.

I NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN I Washington today Court’s decision on Bakke case will be far-reaching By RICHARD CARELLI Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court never whispers, but most often the only listeners are lawyers and the individuals immediately affected by a legal controversy’s resolution. While the weight of legal pre cedence —a roadmap for future generations of law — is carried in each Supreme Court decision, relatively few of the high court’s edicts earn the ad jectives “historic” and “land mark.” They are the decisions that transcend arcane legal ques tions to influence the nation’s history, reshape its institutions or change some aspect of the American lifestyle: Could President Harry Tru man seize control of a strike bound steel industry to help a OPEN DAILY 10-10, SUNDAY 1-0 WED., THURS., FRI., SAT.

Could President Richard Nixon refuse to hand over his White House tapes to a federal criminal trial? Could the Constitution permit racial segregation, prayer in public schools or abortion? In the Supreme Court term that begins next week, one case clearly stands out from the rest because of its potential to do just that. What the nine justices decide in Regents of University of Cal ifornia versus Allan Paul Bakke could dictate what role minority races will play in American society and may affect millions of dollars worth of programs in government, education and private industry. The Bakke case, as it has come to be known, essentially asks whether government may take a person’s race into ac- count when its goal is to help traditionally disadvantaged races. Those who say yes, most no tably the Carter administration and the minority civil rights movement, call such considera tion “affirmative action.” Those who say no, like Bakke, call it “reverse dis crimination.” Bakke, a white 37-year-old California resident, was twice turned down for admission to a University of California medi cal school. He claims he would have been admitted if the school had not maintained a special admissions program, which reserved 16 of the 100 spots in each entering class for “disadvantaged” applicants. A white man was never ad mitted under the special pro gram. Bakke successfully argued before the California Supreme Court that he had been victi mized by a racial quota, which set for each entering medical school class an inflexible num ber of minority members it had to contain, even if it harmed better academically qualified whites or led to unqualified mi nority students entering ahead of them. The California court said such a program violates the Con stitution’s 14th Amendment, which orders that all persons be treated equally. The Supreme Court faces two crucial issues: can race ever be considered and if so, are “benign quotas” acceptable. Civil rights leaders say stu dent enrollments at profes sional schools will be virtually all white if the court strikes down the use of racial consider ations, robbing blacks and other minority members of the chance for membership in the professions. But such a ruling could extend beyond education to other government and private af firmative action programs, be gun in the 1960 s to help bring minorities and women into the American mainstream. How will white citizens who may have lost out on an educational or job opportunity because of such programs react to a court decision upholding them? In a string of cases, the court already has upheld the use of racial considerations by gov ernment so it is unlikely it would now use the 14th Amend ment to strike down all af firmative action.
