Alaska Pipeline Bill OK’d by Conferees WASHINGTON (AP)—House Senate conferees reached agree ment Thursday on legislation ap proving construction of a 789- mile oil pipeline across Alaska from the North Slope to the southern coast. Rep. John Melcher, D- Mont., chairman of the conference com mittee, said the bill probably will reach tlhe House floor for a final vote in about two weeks, The House and Senate must ap prove or disapprove it as written. It cannot be amended. In last-minute action, the con ferees approved a plan making each oil company using the pipe line liable for $14 million in dam ages from marine oil spills. The firms will pay one to five cents per barrel into a pool for addi tional liability up to $100 million. An earlier proposal for the government to insure the liabil ity pool until the fund reached $100 million was scrapped. In another final vote, the con feree approved an amendment requiring the Federal Trade Com mission to consult with the Jus tice Department before bringing any court action. If the depart ment does not act within 10 days, the commission will be free to take legal action in its own. Under present law, the commis sion will be free to take legal action on its own. Under pre sent law, the commission must rely on the department to initiate court action. The pipeline is designed to car ry North Slope crude oil to the port city of Valdez on the Gulf of Alaska. It will be shipped by tanker to West Coast ports from Valdez. The North Slope field contains at estimated minimum of 10 bil lion barrels of oil. The pipeline will carry two million barrels a day. The United States is ex pected to consume 22 million bar rels, of oil daily by 1980. The bill grants a 25-foot right of way on each *side of the pipe line, plus additional footage as needed to accommodate construc tion, environmental and safety work. It also contains language de signed to block lawsuits by en vironmentalists seeking to delay the project.

The complaint, alleging viola- ftions of Fonda’s constitutional rights, was filed in federal court here by the American Civil Lib erties Union Foundation. It /names 20 individuals and two firms as defendants. Fonda, holding a stack of pa pers she said was an FBI dossier on her, told a news conference she has been subjected to overt and covert physical surveillance, undercover intelligence gathering, intimidation and harassment be cause she is an outspoken critic of the Nixon administration and the Indochina war. She said “the secret FBI file” had been given to her by Wash ington columnist Jack Anderson. In Washington, Anderson said he had shown three or four Holly wood stars their FBI files. He said among them were Miss Fon da, Marlon Brando and Tony Randall. The suit alleges that in Novem ber 1970, U. S. Customs Service agents at Cleveland International Airport unlawfully confiscated Fonda's personal address book, and before returning it turned it over to FBI agents, who allegedly copied the book’s contents. The complaint says that in Jan uary 1971 “unknown agents of the United States government” in Detroit burglarised 1 Fonda’s rented automobile of materials concerning a public inquiry into alleged atrocities committed by American servicemen in Vietnam. The suit also alleges that the government obtained copies of Fonda’s financial transactions without her knowledge and with out a subpoena or warrant. The priest is the only one in the village who can hear the word of God. He goes to his son’s home to die and pass on the sacred priv ilege. “The hell with you,” his son tells him. “If you die in my house I’ll have to provide a funeral feast.” So the old man walks out of the village and dies. This was one of the encounters Dr. Colin Turnbull experienced during his two years among the Ik tribe of Uganda. Turnbulll, a Scottish anthropol ogist, spoke to an overflowing crowd in the Zachry Engineering Center auditorium Thursday night. Those who could not find seats in the aisles or standing room in the back listened to Turnbull’s presentation in an ad joining lecture room by a remote speaker system. Turnbull presented his accom panying slide show twice so that those who were isolated from the first showing would not miss it. Turnbull, educated at Oxford, wrote a book on his experiences. “My book describes an unhappy situation,” he said. “Although the Ik (pronounced eek) live in Afri ca they are unafrican. I have met more humanity in Africa than anywhere else. The Iks are not human.” Three generations ago the Ik were like other African tribes, said Turnbull. They had a socie ty, families and were cooperative. They were hunters then. “Hunt ers are kind people,” said Turn- bull. Two thirds of their tribal lands were taken away for na tional parks by the Uganda gov ernment and the tribe is now in a state of extreme deprivation. Turnbull told how, at the age of two, the Ik mother stops breast feeding her children and prepares them for life on their own. When the children are three they are thrown out of the house. During this year of preparation the moth er gives a child every chance to die. She will let it crawl into fires, cut itself and fall from any pre carious positions the child hap pens to get into. One slide showed a boy about 2-years-old rubbing dirt into a hollowed out log. His parents had gone hunting and he was giving the dirt flavor so he could eat it. Why do they raise children ? “One woman explained to me that they would be useful if the fields were ever fruitful,” said Turn- bull. Pregnancy is not a happy occasion among the Ik, he said. Sexual activity is minimal among the Ik, said Turnbull. “Their energy is better spent searching for food. Each person in the Ik tribe provides for himself. One slide showed a couple eating dinner (See Anthropologist page 2) COLIN N. TURNBULL, in a University Lecture Series program Thursday explained the plight of the Ik, a tribe in Uganda which has degenerated to the point where love and kindness no longer exist in their sociey. Turnbull main tains that modern society may be headed in the same direc tion.

The group, composed of 35 men and 50 women, is di rected by Robert L. Boone. It was founded two years ago as a social singing group. Members are selected by audition and on the basis of their music background. Auditions are held during the first two weeks of each semester and at mid-term. The hours and a half practice sessions are on Monday and Thursday night at 7 p. m. The New Tradition Singers represent TAMU in con certs in addition to performing as a service and social group. Last year they performed at the Texas Cotton Pageant the MSC Directorate and the Agriculture Extension Wives Club. They also held a Christmas program for the student body along with other luncheon and dinner engagements. In addition they sang during the Thanksgiving and Easter services for the YMCA. As a service group they held an Easter egg hunt for the Bryan Boy’s Club last year. This year they are planning a Christmas dance with the Aggie Jazz Band to benefit the Boy’s Club. The Singers first concert will be Nov. 1 at the Krueger- unn Commons for the Metermen’s Short Course banquet, is spring they hope to go on tour. _ Carol Silverthorne of Temple is president of the group. Other officers include: Harold Venable, vice-president; Deb bie Richardson, secretary; Richard Feiden, treasurer; and pteve Smith and Rick Smith, public relations. IN ITS THIRD YEAR of existence The New Tradition Singers number 85. The Singers, under the direction of Robert Boone, put on special programs during the year both for A&M audiences and for other groups. (Photo by Charles Coppage) The Commerce Department’s third-quarter report on the Gross National Product included both good news, a favorable 3.6 per cent annual rate of real economic growth, and bad news, an in flation rate of 6-7 per cent. The over-all increase in GNP—which is the value of the nation’s out put of goods and services—was listed as up $32 billion, or 10.4 per cent, to a seasonally adjust ed annual rate of $1.3 trillion. The high rate of inflation was not a surprise. It had been clearly indicated by earlier government indexes on consumer and whole sale prices. But the Nixon administration seemed sure to be satisfied with the 3.6 per cent increase in real economic growth, which followed the explosive 8.7 per cent growth rate of the first quarter and the low rate of 2.4 per cent in the second quarter. Real economic growth is the over-all growth rate, minus growth attributed to inflation. The GNP is the nation’s major measure of economic perform ance. The administration has set four per cent as the target growth rate for the economy because it believes this rate is high enough to escape recession, but close enough to discourage new infla tion.
