...voyage is sponsored by Non-Violent Action Against Nuclear Weapons, a committee of pacifist leaders who feel that pacifism is not a negative refusal to fight; but on the contrary, the most positive approach to world problems. They advocate a constructive program for peace, which would transfer the effort, resources and intelligence now used in preparations for war to a plan for non-violent national defense.

...University of Denver postponed an athletic crisis by remembering that transfer students must wait a year before playing on varsity teams. Until someone read the rule book, the university golf team, which often practices at private clubs, faced a season of play restricted to public courses. A likely looking 19-year-old sophomore who had transferred from Doane College, Crete, Neb. seemed certain to make the team-and just as sure not to be welcome at Denver's private clubs. The promising golfer is named Nate Goldstein. He is a Negro...
