NEW YORK (AP) — Real-life lawyers are taking Calista
Rockhart to court.
The law firm of Frankfurt, Garbus, Klein and Seitz is
suing the star of “Ally McBeal," saying they deserve 5 per
cent of everything she earns on the hit show because
they reviewed and negotiated the contracts that sealed
her deaf with Fox.
Rockhart, who plays a flighty young lawyer, agreed to
5 percent, the firm said. As of last week, according to the
firm, she earned at least $780,000 and owed the attor
neys at least $39,000.
“We’ve tried and tried and tried to resolve this ami
cably," said Maura Wogan, who filed the lawsuit Friday.
“We’ve been paid absolutely no money."
Rockhart’s Los Angeles lawyer, Barry Tyerman, said:
“I know nothing about this suit. It’s news to me. I know
that Frankfurt, Garbus had made some claims, but I
thought they had been dropped."

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — There’s a certain coffee
girl Charlton Heston has not forgotten from the 1960s.
The 74-year-old actor was asked Monday at a book
signing whether he regretted baring his rear end in the
1968 “Planet of the Apes."
“No," he said. “Actors have the modesty of mice. In
summer stock, you’re always changing your clothes in
the wings. Of course, what you do when you’re naked is
another thing."

It takes a lot of space to house 500

In contrast to many similar pro
grams, MEDALS shows high school
students more than just A&M.
Military recruiters, representa
tives from technical schools and
information about how to apply to
other universities are also part of
the package.
“A&M is a good school, but it’s
not for everybody,” Taylor said.
“Just being a university, it’s not
going to be for everybody because
their particular interests may not
lie in that direction.
“If we limit them to that nar
row option, they probably won’t
be interested in our program, and
we wouldn’t be as successful. If
we show them the variety of
choices they have before them,
they may find what interests them
and pursue it.”
While A&M is not the only
choice shown to MEDALS partici
pants, those high school students
who attend are still left with a
lasting impression of the campus
and what it has to offer.
“A&M actually recruits a lot of
new students as a by-product of
the MEDALS program,” Taylor
said. “While we don’t actually go
and tell them to attend A&M, a lot
of them still decide to come here.
Last year, 37 of the incoming
freshmen were people who had
attended the MEDALS program.”
Even those high school stu
dents who do not choose to attend
Texas A&M are left more opti
mistic about their future.
James Henry, a guidance coun
selor at A&M Consolidated High
School, said the program is very
popular with students who attend.
“We always try to touch base
with the students who attend the
MEDALS conference,” Henry said.
“Without exception they are
pumped up about not only A&M,
but the careers ahead of them and
the chances for success they have
but didn’t really think about.”
Using college students as ad
visers also has an effect on the
event’s participants.
“It’s a great thing when a high
school student can see others who
are about the same age doing all
these great things in college,”
Henry said.
“A lot of high school students
approach college with a lot of ap
prehension. They think to them
selves, ‘Am I really ready for this?
Can I do college?’ This program
really builds up their confidence
and reduces their anxiety about
their lives after high school.”
MEDALS remains a popular ac
tivity in high schools because
those who attend readily
it to their classmates.
