Income from the stock is used to provide the Dr. Mark Francis Scholarship Award for a veteri nary medicine student, preferably one who participates in athletics. The scholarship honors the found er of A&M’s veterinary medicine program. The younger Dr. Harrison, also a physician and a 1947 graduate, donated $1,000 to the scholarship fund before turning over the building to the university. As the income increases from the initial endowment and the property, the annual stipend of the Dr. Mark Francis Scholarship Award will be increased until the cash value is equal to a Twelfth- Man Athletic Scholarship, accord ing to revised provisions of the agreement establishing the fund. When the combined income ex ceeds the amount required for the Francis award, a new scholar ship, the Dr. and Mrs. R. Henry Harrison Jr. ’20 D.V.M.-M.D. President's Scholar Award, will be instituted. Recipient of the first Dr. Mark Francis Scholarship Award was Mike Heitmann.

(AP Wirephoto) WASHINGTON <A>> _ A for mer Army agent testified Wed nesday he witnessed a superior initiate a snooping file on Sen. Adlai E. Stevenson III and later caught a glimpse of an FBI re port in the document. Despite Pentagon denials, John M. O’Brien stood by — and elab orated upon — his earlier asser tions that the military monitor ed the activities of Stevenson, Rep. Abner Mikva and hundreds of other Illinois public officials and private citizens. Under questioning by Sen. Strom Thurmand, R-S.C., O’Brien told the Senate subcommittee on constitutional rights that Rich ard Norusis, a GS11 civilian and a team chief for the 113th Mili tary Intelligence Group at Evan ston, 111., started the file on Stev enson, a Democrat. O’Brien said he questioned why at the time, but Norusis replied “something like T know what I’m doing.” O’Brien said he had occasion to view the file several times sub sequently, and once saw a report from the FBI in it. Two other former military in telligence staffers, Ralph Stein and Christopher Pyle, also testi fied that the Army had gone far beyond its stated policy of lim iting domestic surveillance to cases involving the possibility of insurrection. Together with O’Brien, they recounted dozens of examples in dicating that spying occunt and files were maintained, dozens of organizations, peaceful and militant, and thousands of individuals acti the nation. Such cases included, they ai the infiltration of countless aulj war gatherings; having attend the 1968 Republican a Democratic National Convention and filing running reports to|( Counter - Intelligence Analyi Branch in Washington on tj Funeral of Dr. Martin Lat!» King, Jr. Following O’Brien to the is ness stand, Mikva, a Democn denounced the officers respots ble, calling them “the true sui versives of our society.” Alexander Polikoff of Chicaj a lawyer for the American ft f Liberties Union, said the Ant| ^ through one of O’Brien’s sum 1 ’ ^ iors, had “substantially admitti everything Mr. O’Brien evenoi about the nature of . . . intell ^ gence activities,” except fortl . widely publicized exceptions! his claim of files on Stevensi and Mikva.

It would in terfere with the migration pat tern of caribou and other arctic wildlife and gouge the tundra with gullies by melting the per mafrost, they say. Oilmen say the pipeline is the most feasible way of moving the estimated 10-billion-barrel crude oil reserve from the frozen arc tic desert of the North Slope to the warm-water port of Valdez and then to West Coast refiner ies. The Interior Department con cluded Thursday the first of two hearings on the environmental impact of the $l-billion project. The second hearings are due in session in Anchorage.

Plans to move crude oil through the Northwest Passage to East Coast refineries by ice breaking tankers were dropped after tests. The proposed pipeline route starts near Prudhoe Bay and crosses the North Slope, roughly paralleling the Sagavnirktok Riv er. It goes through the Brooks Range via 4,700-foot-high Diet- rich Pass, highest point on the route. I then crosses the Yukon River near Livengood, continues south easterly just east of Fairbanks and turns southward, paralleling the Richardson Highway down river valleys through the Alaska Range. Then it travels through the Copper River Basin across the Chugach Mountains, through Keystone Canyon and terminates at Valdez. Initially the pipeline will move 500,000 barrels a day under pres sure using five pumping stations. Eventually it will have a capa city of two million barrels a day and will use 12 pumping stations. The Valdez terminal will have up to 15 crude oil storage tanks each with 510,000-barrel capaci ty. Two docks will serve tankers of up to 250,000 deadweight tons and a third will handle tankers of up to 120,000 deadweight tons. Aleyeska Pipeline Service Co., a seven-company firm formed to build the line, said 4.62,000 gal lons of oil would be in a mile of the pipe at any one time. The oil will move about two miles an hour at a 150-degree temperature.
