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.

Jane Fonda Files Civil Suit
Against Nixon, Officials
Tradition Singers
in Third Year
LOS ANGELES UP) — A civil
suit seeking $2.8 million was filed
Thursday on behalf of actress
Jane Fonda against President
Nixon, men in his administration
and former high government offi
cials.
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. (Photo by Kathy Curtis)
Inflation Continues
At 6.7 Per Cent
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
country’s economic growth dur
ing the third quarter of the year
was just about what the Nixon
administration wanted but infla
tion continued at a disappointing
ly high rate, the government re
ported Thursday,
The New Tradition Singers are a coed singing group
in their third year and yet few students seem to have heard
of them.
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.

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.
