MONDAY, MARCH 31, 1980
Magna Carta display
viewed by Austinites
United Press International
AUSTIN — Thousands of Texans
got a rare look during the weekend at
the Magna Carta, the “great charter”
of England that guaranteed for the
first time basic civil and political
liberties.
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.

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 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.

NEW ORLEANS — Passengers
aboard the steamboat Natchez that
collided in driving rain with an Ex
xon crude oil tanker in the Mississip
pi River said they had little advance
warning of the accident, which in
jured 20 people.
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.

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.
