The charities that benefited were the Big Brothers ‘Association, the Mental Health Association, the Canadâ€" ian Save the Children Fund, the Canadian National Inâ€" stitute for the Blind. You people who are righthanded probably never stop to think of the little, day to day problems suffered by the lefties. What I mean: automobiles are designed for righthanders, scissors, are designed for righthanders, as well as guns, pistols, typewriters, homes â€" name it and you‘ll find that designers keep the righthanded person in mind at all times. â€" _ o mor was there any tradilional property Gamage. All those connected with the program at both uniâ€" versities are to be highly commended. It‘s a great idea and should be carried on every vear. One shouldn‘t, of course, go commercial on the editorial page but this week, the editor can‘t help it. We happen to be a member of that slite minority known to the world as southpaws, portsiders or lefties. For years, we have silently suffered while all major manufacturers cater almost "éxclusively to the rightâ€" handed majority. The slave day replaces the more traditional initiaâ€" tion shenanigans held at other universities. A lot of money was raised for good causes and nobody got hurt nor was there any "traditional" property damage. But finally, a true southpaw shotrun has hit the market manufactured by the Savage Arms Co. No longâ€" er must the southpaw handle a shotgun and dodge the empty cartridges as they are ejected. This new gun is desisgned for the lefty and from all reports, it‘s a dandy. At last, someone recognizes that most lefties are brilliant people and require a little special attention. Okay, you car builders: How about putting an ash truy on the left side of the steering wheel just for us southpaws? But how many lifted their heads in praise aftcr Slave Day? & We happen to think‘it is the best orientation idea jn lo, these many years. The 2.200 freshmen were sSlaves for the day and did all kinds of jobs throughout the Twin City.

While this paper still regards that it is primarily the duty of parents to assure that their children get t achool, if special facilities are to be arranged then they must hbe arranged through the school board. ']‘he_).r had an objective, too, and as a result, four local charities will benefit by 7,800, more than $1,800 above what they expected to raise. _ o0 ‘ We don‘t know for certain whether this has been mentioned in these columns recently since we are pinchâ€" hitting for editor Lew Gambling this week but some bouquets are certainly necessary for those in charge of the University of Waterloo‘s Slave Day and of Waterloo Lutheran University‘s Slave Day. The secular press, as we are called, has a habit of playing up the bizarre. Consequently, students often get undeserved black marks for university pranks. Old folks shake their heads and ask: What‘s the younger generaâ€" tion coming to? , | The furor over transportation for school children aitending the temporary facilities at 120 Weber St., 1s Rill, after numerous meetinys and conferences, not gettled. . Council has rightly taken the stand that they are n»ot in the business of providing what has been termed "taxi services", their only connection is that they do provide (and subsidize) "public" transportation. In this respect, it is the duty of the council to conâ€" stantly improve the service and arrange routes that would serve "the largest" number of community resiâ€" dents. This Ald. Ledger is now pushing for and has reâ€" ceived the support of other members of council, including However, if, as stated earlier, special services are to be arranged for the transportation of school children, then it is time that the school board made these arrangeâ€" ments. If specialized services are not required, then it is a council problem. It was quite apparent however, that the parents did mot approve of what council was arranging and would be seeking specialized services for their children.
