The 765-year-old English docu ment, which formed the basis for much of the U.S. Constitution, will be displayed in the state through April 27. The rector of an 80- member Episcopal church in Luling arranged the five-week Texas tour after visiting England last year. The Rev. Robert B. Greene said more than half of Luling’s 5,100 in habitants and many residents from nearby rural areas went to the Church of the Annunciation Friday to view the document. “We had expected mostly upper middle class,” he said, “but we had workers come in from the oil fields and farms. It was a tremendous cross section with a large number of blacks and Mexican-Americans.” The exhibit moved to the LBJ Lib rary Saturday, where several thousand more Texans viewed the specially protected document. The document will remain on dis play in Austin through Saturday. Next Monday, the exhibit opens in San Antonio at the Texas Military Institute Library. On April 14 the document will be moved to Hous ton’s Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church and on April 21 to Dallas where the exhibit will remain until April 27. Admission is free. The Very Rev. Oliver Fiennes, dean of Lincoln Cathedral in Eng land, handed the document to offi cials of the University of Texas and Lyndon B. Johnson Library in cere monies that attracted 500 spectators.

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.

One person remained hospitalized Sunday with a broken hip, a spokes man for Hotel Dieu Hospital said. The others were treated and re leased from various hospitals for cuts und bruises. One passenger, Alan Ellis of New Orleans, said the collision triggered a flashback to the movie, “The Poseidon Adventure,” in which a luxury cruise ship flops upside down after a tidal wave. “It was just like the movie, ” Ellis McKenzie-Baldwin BUSINESS COLLEGE Inquire About Our Terms Starting April 1, 1980 Phone 822-6423 or 822-2368 CASA BIANCA Early Leasing Special Until April 5 12 month lease - 2 students 2 bedroom apartments $21 5/month Unfurnished $250/month Furnished 410 OLD COLLEGE MAIN 846-1413 said. “Everyone was enjoying them selves, the band was playing and I was at the bar getting some drinks, when all of a sudden without warning everyone was on the floor. “People were hollering and screaming at first, and tables and chairs were all over the place. No body really knew what happened, but the thought of the boat sinking was on everyone’s mind, I’m sure. It was on my mind because of that movie.’ Coast Guard officials schedule^ a formal inquiry into the collision to day in Baton Rouge, but they refused to speculate if the bad weather, which reduced visibility to near zero, contributed to the crash. “It was raining heavily and visibil ity was poor, but I’m not in any posi tion to say what was the cause of the accident, ” a Coast Guard spokesman said Sunday. The Exxon Baltimore, carrying 14.5 million gallons of Alaskan crude upriver, collided at 5 p.m. Saturday near the Greater New Orleans Bridge with the Natchez, which was headed downriver. The tanker con tinued to Baton Rouge. The collision tore a gash in the tanker’s hull beneath the waterline, but none of the crude spilled into the river. The Natchez sustained heavy damage to its bow but never was in danger of sinking, the Coast Guard spokesman said. United Press Intemlmi CANTERBURY, Cons.-| Dumas wants to bring k ? home.
