It is found that the (di)quark produced are more likely to be found in an $L_z=0$ state. This naturally leads to an supression of the polarization distribution parameters $w_{3/2}$ and $\tilde w_1$ for $(D_1, D_2^*)$ and $(Λ_{c1}, Λ_{c1}^*)$ production respectively. The corresponding parameter $w_1$ for $(Σ_c, Σ_c^*)$ production, however, is not suppressed, in agreement with the CLEO results but not the DELPHI one. Implications on the measurements of $Λ_Q$ polarizations are discussed.9 pages in REVTeX, no figuresHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
