“IT S SOMETHING DIFFERENT”
A matter of life
by Gordon Richardson
‘To err is human,” wrote
Misconception is one of the
most human words in the
English language. Think
about that for a moment.
Only humans can have con
ceptions in the first place.
And as for misconceptions . .
Alexander Pope more then two centuries ago. It is, it is.
And this is as true of the business arena as it is of any
other form of human endeavor.
Whatever your trade or profession. I’d be willing to bet
I have at least five wrong-headed ideas about it. And
these, of course, are ideas I cherish . . . that is, would
part with only reluctantly.
And—if you'll permit—the same is true of my calling:
life underwriting. Many, many people, for instance, still
think life insurance is only for their beneficiaries.
That worries me. Because life insurance is for a variety
of living purposes. At Provident Mutual, we design it to
get kids to college, establish retirement funds, achieve
legitimate tax advantages . . . and so on. With no obliga
tion . . . just to clear up misconceptions . . . I’ll be glad to
go over a list of living purposes with you. Write to 707
University Drive Or call 846-7027.

A&M receives graduate
fellowship in geology
A&M’s first permanently en
dowed graduate fellowship in ge
ology was presented Wednesday
by Michel T. Halbouty of Hous
ton to the Association of Former
Students.
Halbouty, 1930 A&M graduate,
is internationally known for his
accomplishments as a geologist
and petroleum engineer. He made
a $25,000 gift to endow “The
Michel T. Halbouty Graduate Fel
lowship in Geology.”
Income from the endowment
will provide fellowship recipients
with an annual stipend to pursue
graduate studies in advanced ge
ology and research. The new fel
lowship will be selectively award
ed to geology graduates who
earned part or all of their under
graduate expenses while attend
ing A&M and who have high
scholastic grades.
In presenting the fellowship
Halbouty stated, “There is no
question in my mind that further
excellence in education and
knowledge lies in post-graduate
work and studies.
“Therefore, it is for this reason
I am most pleased to present the
very first graduate fellowship to
be established in the field of ge
ology in this great university,”
Halbouty said.
Halbouty is the author of 180
technical papers and several
books on petroleum geology and
engineering. As a geologist and
pertoleum engineer, Halbouty has
made numerous investigations
and evaluations of oil and gas
fields throughout the world.
He either discovered or is geo
logically responsible for new pro
duction in approximately 50 fields
in the U.S., including Alaska. He
is president and chairman of the
board of Halbouty Alaska Oil Co.,
which was the first independent
company to discover an Alaskan
gas field.
In Harrisburg 7 trial
Motion for mistrial denied
HARRISBURG, Pa. (A>)_De
fense attorney Paul O’Dwyer, pro
testing the “arrogance” of paid
FBI informer Boyd Douglas Jr.
and the court’s failure to repri
mand him, said today “it is im
possible for the jury to deal fair
ly” with the Harrisburg 7 con
spiracy trial defendants.
O’Dwyer’s motion for a mis
trial, however, was swiftly re
jected by U.S. District Court
Judge R. Dixon Herman without
comment.
It was a renewal of a similar
plea made Tuesday by O’Dwyer
who accused the judge of preju
dice.
Specifically, in his written mo
tion, O’Dwyer objected to “the
protective attitude of the court
towards the witness and the
court’s interjection into the cross-
examination, which could only be
described as paternalism.”
Douglas, a 31-year-old ex-con
vict, started his seventh day in
the witness box as the govern
ment’s star witness.
O’Dwyer said Douglas’ “arro
gance . . . gave him carte blanche
to engage in quarrelsome dialogue
with counsel and to usurp the
function of the court in making
what could be regarded as juridi
cal rulings.”
O’Dwyer’s emotional outburst
Tuesday brought charges that
Herman was protecting Douglas
from answering damaging de
fense questions aimed at destroy
ing his credibility.
