opinion Z Handicapped grow • •• by phil frai If it were possible, I think everyone with any kind of préjudice at all against people who were born with, or acquired a handicap should spend at least a day in a wheelchair—then think about what they are prejudiced against. The threshold between walking arid rolling in a wheelchair is very thin. Maybe that’s why many people feel afraid of the handicapped because deep in their minds, they know that they, too, could be confined to a wheelchair, or develop a handicap of some sort. There is a place in the world for the han dicapped. Handicapped people are just the same as you and I. Same color, many have the same background, likes and dislikes. Many hold the same jobs as We do, have families and watch the same programs on T.V. The handicapped people are special. And special people have special needs. The handicapped students on this campus have the same needs. One of those is a new building for the Handicapped Resource Center, one that is located in an easily ac cessible spot closer to the flow of campus and more accessible to the students than the trailers.» vviNGSx ¿ harp scaled , Êtes, GQUlDTEAn'ACLES 4Mb I CHICKEN RÉ-M-.

This is very important if we’re going to rid ourselves of the prejudice and not be afraid anymore to treat the handicapped exactly as they should be treated: like normal human beings. © COLLÈGE MEDIA SERVICES • box 4244 Berkeley. CA. 947B commentary Trick or treat By Dea Shepherd-Kent Of The Print This is the day(night, to be exact) of wit ches, goblins, ghosts, and tiny monsters who roam the street in search of candy- coated heaven. It’s Halloween, the spookiest time of year and the time of year when practically every kid in town is out running around. It is also the night of wild and crazy masquerade par ties and drunken brawls. It is also the night when many kids meet an early death by being hit by cars or eating candy laced with poison. Kids meeting death is a gloomy subject and many don’t want to think about those cute little costumed tykes being run over by a drunk coming home from a party. Please, if you’re going to a party, don’t drive if you’re drunk. Make this Halloween a safe (not scary) holiday for the youngsters. J At what point ’ do the American taxpayers say,' “Hey, Mr. Carter, remember me? If it weren’t for the fact that my belt is already ‘tightened,’ to the last notch, you wouldn’t have the money to show how great a humanitarian you are!” I was appalled when President Carter promised foreign aid to Cambodia and then announced that he was sure the American people “would match that sum” from their own pockets. What happens to our elected officials when they go to Washington,! D.C.,, to represent the people, and im mediately forget whose money they are spending? When did he forget tjhat the money he is promising comes from your pockets and mine? What makes Carter believe we are a nation with unending sympathetic natures? If that were true, why were the Cam bodians bombed .from their homes in the first place? homelessness and starvation What is so wonderful about a foreign'/polTcv that causes people to be homeless • and starving and then turns around and gives money to Drevent My anger geomes from | blatant assumption that I taxpayers, must give mol and that Carter has apparel forgotten it is wejwho fill thos coffers in the first place! print 19600S.
