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.»

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.

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.

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!
