WHAT IS A
PARALEGAL?
A paralegal is a person with one of the most exciting
new careers going I
A paralegal is a lawyer’s assistant who is able to do
many tasks traditionally done by attorneys. Not a
clerical or secretarial role, the paralegal is a new
legal specialty with excellent job opportunities in
law firms, corporate legal departments, and blanks.
Three months of intensive training in courses taught
by law professors and lawyers can give you the
skills to interview witnesses, conduct legal re
search, prepare pleadings, draft transaction docu
ments, and prepare cases for trial under the su
pervision of an attorney.
The Basic Legal Assistant Course begins June 1,
1981 and September 14, 1981. A representative
will be on campus on Monday, April 13,1981 at the
Career Planning and Placement Center. Call 845-
6551 to schedule an individual or group interview.

Close to 1,700 people came to
be fed and entertained at the Food
Fair and Variety Show sponsored
last week by the International Stu

finished their medley, including
“El Condor Pasa,’’ the audience
was clapping in rhythm to their
captivating beat.

working jaws. There were dainty
appetizers, soups, fruit salads, ex
otic desserts and more variations
of beef, seafood, poultry and pork
than could be tasted.
Immediately following the
Food Fair was a fashion show
featuring I.S.A. students dressed
in ruffles, sequins and gold-
trimmed silks. Slides of palaces,
countrysides and cities shown be
hind the models took the audience
to the foreign homeland settings.
To conclude the show, three chil
dren dressed in gold-threaded red
velvet suits from Sumatra simply
smiled and brought the audience’s
applause to a peak.
Second place went to a Korean
who strummed two songs which
he said exemplified the attitude of
the new generation in his country.
The words he sang were in a lan
guage foreign to many there, but
his message of love came across
clearly on his spellbinding guitar.
Third place went to another
guitarist, a Nicaraguan, who
hushed the crowd with his own
love song entitled “Give Me a
Smile.”
A talent show brought all the
color, culture and pageantry to a
climax. There were lilting guitars,
delicate Oriental music, sensual
belly dancing and foot-stomping
South American folk dancing. Be
