The senior Dr. Harrison, a 1920
graduate who served as physician
for the Aggie football team 26
years, initiated the scholarship
fund in 1968 through donation of
stock valued at approximately
$11,000.
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.

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

Such cases included, they ai

65 degrees below zero, can not
be depended upon as a shipping
port. 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.
