I was hanging around Lombardi Center because the racquetball courts were all filled up, and even if 1 could have had a court to play on, there were no rackets to be found.

Even our language tends to be discriminatory. In French, "left" can be translated into the word "gauche", which also means "awkward" or "tactless". The Italian word for left is "mancini", which also means "defective, maimed or deceitful". Even in English, the word left has negative connotations. "Left-handed" is considered "awkward, maladroit, derisive, dubious, and insincere." This is due to the Latin root of these languages. The Roman word for left was "sinister", derived from "sinus", the Latin term for pocket (the Romans always had pockets on the left side of their togas). The Romans did everything with their right hand, from saluting and handshaking to proving that they held no weapon in their hand.

Might not the recommendation have been more effective (and relevant) if Student Viewpoint it were made last Spring, when the current USG took office?

Although Woody Allen himself is not in the film he does narrate and we get to witness some of the loose anecdotes that he describes. In a most memorable scene, young Allen and a friend make a snowman with all the proper anatomy employing a carrot. Thus we have the phalic carrot! A teacher runs out of the school building, expresses shock and outrage, yet when the two boys have run from the scene of the misdeed she gingerly takes the carrot from the snowman and takes a bite of it. Young Allen's favorite hero is the Masked Avenger and, later, when the second World War has begun, Allen and his friends emulate Biff Baxter, a super-spy type hero who fights Axis forces by searching for Ger- man submarines in the waters off of Cones- Island.
