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 domany tasks traditionally done by attorneys. Not a clerical or a secretarial 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 June 2, 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 Tuesday, April 1, 1980. Sign up now for an interview!

'■ Sports Reporter When the Texas A&M football team takes the field September 6 against Mississippi, one thing will be sure: It will be a stronger Aggie team, due to a weightlifting prog ram which increased overall team strength by 47.3 percent. MikeFlynt, Texas A&M strength coach, said it has been a little over a year since he tested the members of the football team in three basic weight exercises: the bench press, the power clean lift and the squat. Flynt said when he tested the athletes in March the team showed an improvement in all the exercises with a 22 percent increase in the bench press, a 39 percent increase in the power clean and an 81 percent improvement in the squat. He said he then ranked the players in order based upon their body weight and their improvement in the three exercises. The top 15 players in order were: Roger Wiley, Elvis Walker, Kent Adams, David Hardy, Danny Davis, Jeff Paine, Keith Balwin, Russell Labhart, Zach Guthrie, Darrell Adams, Johnny Hector, Ricky Lopez, Ronnie James, Ed Patterson and Temple Aday. Wiley showed an increase from 303 pounds on the bench press to a 352-pound bench press. He im proved from 253 pounds in the pow er clean left to a team record of 325 pounds, and went from 85poundsin the squat to 495 pounds. Flynt said he was pleased with the team’s improvements and the team would continue to lift throughout the year. “The weightlifting program will continue on a year-round basis," he said. "We’re lifting right now, and even when they have the pads on, they will lift twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays on an in-season program.” Flynt said the players would get two weeks off during the latter part of April and the first part of May. He said after that they would start back on their off-season program which will consist of lifting four days a week through Aug. 1. During the football season the players will only lift twice a week. He said several him they felt stronger andlieali Flynt said the wei; would not only help the sically but also help their ances on the field. “It increases their coordii their cardiovascular fitness, lleii, cuit training and it makes susceptible to injury,” "They've gained weight [hffHarri oonisdi nouncei 'alias Ct iockwavf jhat on } |ck Roge Harris, vised t! icon that bfession icduled las-Fort \ the dav \ have decreased their times inth would be< fellow Flynt said the athletic w room itr DeWare FieldhouscisjL 5 n ° ^ rently being used by 11 intemiliBr ren j ei1 ate sports at Texas A\\l \cr, :r ^ sjxrrt having its own weigUiK 0l tt , rs program similar to the one use T i l the football team.
