Did you pick Jmething like ominous, menacing r malicious? Clumsy, inept or umbling! If so, you have an idea fa particular prejudice that has cisted for centuries. Prejudice gainst whom, you might ask. The rswer is: lefties. Both sinister CI,atinl and gauche Frenchj come from languages in hich they meant left. Although e may not think about it much, rejudice against lefties still exists. 'ne can be given a left-handed mmpliment, be out in left field, 'id have two left feet. It's true that lefties may be more umsy than righties, and for good reasong theyre forced to function in seemingly alien environments. This prejudice lunconscious, I assumej extends even to the TII campus. For instance, how many left-handed desks have you seen except in some of Keplingers classrooms! Who thought of at- taching pens to the right side of a service window with leashes too short to allow them to be used by the southpaw customer? Susan Iirickson commented, The thing that gives me the biga gest problem is writing in ink. As I move my hand across the page, the wet ink smears all over the paper and my hand, Sometimes, it's really embarrassing when I greet some- one and I have a black or blue hand. Desks are always a problem. Oliphant Ilall. room 500, has one left-handed desk, Wlien I enroll, I look for classes in there, remarked Sheila Naifeh. Most lefties learn to cope early on and many get quite adept in a right'handed world. Although clutzy lefties like Prince Charles or Gerald Ford provide amusement for right-handers everywhere, oth- er famous lefties like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci have proved that lefties can also excel in the right world, Martha Pigg Lefties
