WHAT IS A
PARALEGAL CAREER?!
A paralegal career is one of the most exciting new careers for
college graduates.
A paralegal is a lawyer’s assistant who is able to do many
tasks traditionally done by attorneys. Not a clerical or a secre
tarial role, the paralegal is a new legal specialty with excellent
job opportunities in law firms, corporate legal departments
and banks.
Three months of intensive training in courses taught by law
professors and lawyers can give you the skills to interview
witnesses, conduct legal research, prepare pleadings, draft
transaction documents and prepare cases for trial all under
the supervision of an attorney.
The Basic Legal Assistant Course begins January 28, 1980.
In addition to the three-month daytime program, the same
course is offered as an eight-month evening program. A
representative will be at the Career Planning and Placement
Center on Thursday, November 15, 1979.

It’s been a long road for the Texas
A&M offense this season, with fre
quent execution problems and bad
breaks. Even Agatha Christie would
have had a tough time explaining the
mystery of the sluggish Aggie
offense.
But landslide Texas A&M victor
ies the last two weeks over Rice and
SMU have erased many doubts ab
out whether the Aggies can cut the
mustard offensively. Never before
has a Texas A&M team put together
back-to-back conference wins of over
40 points.
As the scores indicate, the Aggie
offense may be performing as well as
it ever has, and some of the credit
should certainly be given to such
new faces as sophomore fullback
David Hill.
This is Hill’s first year on the Texas
A&M squad, a 5-11, 210-pound pro
duct of San Antonio Holmes High.
After starting for the Air Force
Academy as a freshman fullback, Hill
left and transferred to Texas A&M.
Hill’s most impressive perform
ance came against Notre Dame
when he rushed for over 200 yards
against the Irish.
Because he transferred. Hill had
to sit out a year to establish eligibil
ity. He continued to work out
however, and after officially joining
the team this spring, set his sights on
capturing the starting fullback job.
Now that he’s attained his goal. Hill
couldn’t be happier.
“I have to tell you, it feels pretty
darn good to be a starter,” Hill said.
“I’ve been working hard towards
that for the last two years and it was a
little bit disappointing when I didn’t
get the job right at the start of the
season.
“Now that I’ve made it, I find I’m a
lot more enthusiastic about every
thing, including practice sessions. I

feel like an integral part of the team
now.”
Hill’s enthusiasm seems to be
shared by the rest of the Aggie
offense. Of course, the wins against
Rice and SMU definitely have
helped to boost morale, as has the
mastering of Head Coach Tom Wil-
David Hill
son’s “I” formation.
“I’m beginning to think that
maybe the spring wasn’t long
enough for us to get used to the T’, ”
said Hill. “However, now I think
we re all getting to the point where
we know it. I know I feel a lot more
comfortable with my blocking than
earlier in the season. Now I can tell
what defense the opposition is in
with one glance, and who to block. ”
It was a lack of feeling comfortable
with his situation that led Hill to
leave the Air Force Academy in the
first place. Not actively recruited out
of high school, except for feelers
from Baylor and Rice, Hill knew he
wanted to play football at a major
college. The question was where.
Enter the Academy’s recruiting
staff . Having shown Hill all the good
things about their school and the sur
rounding area, and none of the bad
according to Hill, the recruiters soon
had him signed up. It was only after
Hill started playing at the Academy
that he knew he’d made a mistake.
“I’m not saying they deliberately
deceive you, but they definitely
don’t tell you what it’s really like
when they recruit you,” Hill said.
“When I went up there, they made it
a point to take me to all the ski re
sorts. When they did show me
around the campus, it was never for
more than a few hours at a time.
“Thus they sold me on their
school. I guess I was kind of young
and dumb at the time and didn’t give
the whole situation enough thought
before I went to the Air Force
Academy. I just knew I wanted to
play football.
“I’ve never objected to a little re
gimentation, and am willing to dedi
cate myself to a goal, but I really
wasn’t ready for the military re
gimentation they had there. I found
it was starting to get in the way of
football. I decided that for the sake of
my own welfare. I’d better get out
while I could.’
Hill wasn’t completely unfamiliar
with the Air Force. His father is a
lieutenant colonel in that military
branch, and Hill attended several
schools as the family moved from
base to base.
Although born in Massachusetts,
most of Hill’s relatives are from
Pennsylvania. As a matter of fact,
almost 30 of them attended the Penn
State game when Texas A&M
crushed the Nittany Lions 27-14.
Two weeks later, Hill made his
first start at fullback against Texas
Tech, carrying 14 times and gaining
52 yards. He’s been the starting full
back ever since. Last week Hill
gained 26 yards on seven carries. To
date, he has run for 158 yards this
season.
Hill is a scholastic standout on the
Texas A&M team. One of two en
gineering majors on the offense, he
said he would like to dispel the myth
of the dumb athlete.
“When people in my classes find
out I’m a football player, they just
can’t believe I’m aciviienjj
major. They really have at
comprehending it. Mygradei
the best in the world, butlt
doing all right.

academy and actually
would be easier once I gott:|
A&M. But it’s tough here j

make the grades. Anyway,
my best to get people to i

There is both good news and bad
news for Texas Aggie football fans
this weekend.
First the bad news: Tailback Cur
tis Dickey, the third-leading rusher
in the conference this season with
808 yards, is not likely to see any
game time against the Razorbacks
Saturday. Dickey suffered a broken
rib against the SMU Mustangs and
has not practiced since the injury.
And the good news: Those in
attendance at Kyle Field Saturday
afternoon will have the chance to
judge for themselves who is the best
quarterback in the conference this
season. The game pit’s A&M’s Mike

Mosley and Arkansas’ Kevin Scan
lon, the top two quarterbacks in the
Southwest Conference this year, in a
head-to-head contest to decide con
ference quarterback supremacy.
“There is a remote possibility that
Curtis could be ready by Saturday,
Aggie coach Tom Wilson said about
Dickey’s status for Saturday’s game.
“But right now, it’s in our plans to
start Johnny Hector at tailback and
back him up with Earnest Jackson.
“Those two tailbacks have proven
themselves this year. They’ve
proven that they’re good running
backs. They’ve done what we’ve
asked of them. ”
Hector is becoming accustomed to
stepping in for Dickey this season.
The freshman from New Iberia, La.,
has carried the ball 57 times for 237
yards and three touchdowns.
Jackson has handled the ball 20
times for 87 yards, a 4.4-yard aver
age and the highest yards-per-carry
average on the squad.
“Three or four weeks ago, if Curtis
was out of a game, I would have said
that we would be losing a great deal
on offense,” Wilson said. “At that
point, Earnest Jackson and Johnny
Hector were not ready to move in
tailbacks in our offense.
“But the past few weeks, both of
them have gotten enough game ex
perience that we aren’t going to lose
that much with them in there. But
that’s not to say we aren’t going to
miss Curtis.
“The doctor said that if he (Dick
ey) can handle the pain, he could
play. The question is if he can play

“This is the first time Cm
