Culpepper Plaza Magna Carta spawns American freedoms St by Jennifer Carr Battalion Staff The liberties Americans enjoy today have their roots in the Magna Carta, a Houston attor ney said Sunday night in a speech sponsored by MSC Great Issues and MSC Political Forum. William Ballew, who has served as past president of the Houston Philosophical Society and the Texas Bill of Rights Foundation, said the Magna Carta is “a vastly important part of our heritage,” although he said our conception of rights is not the same as the medieval $r‘ concept. The rights Kingjohn granted to the barons at Runnymede in 1215 were granted only to land ed Englishmen, Ballew said. They were narrow in scope and were not freely given. Instead, the barons owed duties to the king in return for their rights. Today, all Americans are granted rights under the Consti tution, he said. Ballew pointed out several similarities between the rights granted in the Magna Carta and those in the U.S. Bill of Rights. William Ballew Both grant that men shall be judged on the degree of their offenses, Ballew said, and no one shall be punished for trivial offenses except through the judgment of theirpc The Magna Cam, the selection of25l» ecute this judgmeiE whom are responsiH; to the king with gif also allows the barois the king in any way | harming him or hisi Ballew pointed oa neither case are thej self-executed.

The conference, sponsored by the Undergraduate Chemis try Club, is the first of its kind to include high school students, Dr. John Hogg, club adviser, said. The purpose of including the high school students is to give them a look at Texas A&M, the Department of Chemistry and the undergraduate world at col lege. “Hopefully we’ll answer lots of questions students may have about the field,” Hogg said, “and attract more chemistry stu dents to A&M.” A question-and-answer panel, planned for the high school students, will consist of six members: one undergradu ate chemistry major, one gradu ate chemistry major, two che mistry department faculty and two industrial representatives. Hogg said the conference should he interesting not only to high school students, but also to undergraduates who want to major in chemistry but do not know its applications. Twenty-eight undergradu ates — fifteen from Texas A&M — will present research papers in competition for six $50 prizes. Each 20-minute presentation will be judged primarily on ori ginality, clarity, professionalism and the logic of its conclusion.
