Lefties Wrong ' Sides Hinder Students ' Work Most of us think we are in our right minds but according to medical knowledge only left hand- ed people are in their right mind. That does not mean lefties don ' t have problems with utensils, fur- niture, school supplies and even door knobs.

The installation of a new dis- trict for Luling meant a harder time for those participating in athletics because they were put at a disadvantage against schools with more developed athletic pro- grams. Yet, they didn ' t fail to suc- ceed. Sophomores Meredith Tuwnley, Tammy VVestbrfjok, and Jen Nae Anderson prac-
