— Need a Really Good Job? —
A legal career without law school can be yours as a Legall
Assistant. Job opportunities are excellent in this exciting new
field. Legal Assistants do much work traditionally done only
by lawyers.
Three months of intensive training in courses taught by
lawyers can give you the skills to interview witnesses, do
legal research, prepare pleadings, draft transaction docu
ments, and prepare cases for trial under the supervision of
an attorney.
The Basic Legal Assistant Course begins June 5. Call or

One runner among the crowd
The adage about the loneliness ol
the long-distance runner is a lot ol
bunk, Texas A&M University
graduate student Bob Fennessy will
tell you.
Especially when you re running
next to 799 other people.
The 43-year-old doctoral student
will be running his first marathon
with some 800 entrants in the sec-

ond annual Aggie Marathon here
April 29.
“I’ve been working up to this
thing for about the last three
months,’ said Fennessy, a Califor
nia native. I’ve never run a full
26-mile marathon in my life. People
just don’t run out on the West Coast
like they do around here.
“There are students at Texas
A&M up and running on this cam
pus at 2 a.m. If you tried that in
Southern California, you’d probably
get mugged.”
Fennessy, a former trainer for
Los Angeles State College, Univer
sity of Southern California and
California State University, was
once drinking an average of 25 cups
of coffee and smoking up to four
packs of cigarettes a day, he said.
“When I came here, I quit smok
ing and drinking all that coffee and
took up running,” he added. “When
you’re at Texas A&M University, I
learned, running is just what you
do. It’s a very social thing.”
Another reason Fennessy began
running is a personal one. His
health.
“There’s a high incidence of heart
disease in my family,” he explained.
“And since stress is one contrijiiitm
I decided I’d find a way to relievei
that helped my body. Running i
now my stress reliever. I don’t eve
watch TV much anymore.”
Fennessy, currently on a leave i
absence from California State t
complete his doctorate in healthsci
ence and safety, will return then
this fall. He said that runningarac t
like the Aggie Marathon can in
crease a person’s life span by s j
years.
“Doctors have found that when
person runs a marathon race, hi
chances of living a longer life in
crease markedly, he said, "itsnoi
so much the running of t|) (
marathon itsell, it’s the months d
preparation a person goes (
that adds years to his life.
“That’s one of the things 11
about Texas A&M, not only isnJ
ning the ‘in’ thing to do sociallyitlj
also good for you. It has tobeasof
cial thing or people won’t p:
pate.
“I guess that’s why the i
Marathon is so successful. Peoy
around here just love to run, is
they enjoy doing it with thti
friends.”

Captured solar energ
may offer future pow
Houston, Dallas or New York
could be powered with solar energy
captured from 12-mile-long, super
satellites by the mid-1990s, a top
space agency official said here.
Clark Covington, deputy chief of
systems design for the spacecraft di
vision at Lyndon B. Johnson Space
Center, told a Texas A&M audience
that one of the 40-square-mile satel
lites could be in orbit and
functional, suypplying the power
equivalent of 10 nuclear plants, by
1995 if the program moved ahead at
the same pace as the Apollo moon
shot project.

Despite the estimate that the
satellite would cost about $18
lion to build, Covington explain
that it would pay for itself in
than 18 months because of
power savings supplied and the 1 ^^^
upkeep required.
By 2010, he said, solar enerj
from these satellites 22,000 mil
from Earth, would be cheaper tin
oil, coal or gas, and 45 satellili
could supply all the energy nee4
today in the United States.
It will be an expensive project
Covington said. Research andiii
velopment will run $60 billioi
Shuttle flights of equipment ail
personnel to build the satellite
orbit will run about $8 inilli
apiece, but the attraction is stilli ' He 9 l
the long-run cost reeovtr ' wh&
Covington said.
The satellites in orbit far enonj
out to he in sunlight 99 percent
the time, would transmit the
to Earth where it would be caufi
by “rectennas” more than si
across.
Construction of the satellite
planned for outer space because
can’t he done on the grounil
Covington said. Two people, usit
automatic beam builders, couldM
together a structure the size of w
Seattle Space Needle in about tw
hours, he said. xk«i
It would take from three montl f>
to a year to finish one of the supei
satellites in orbit, he said.
