Trying to beat Jack Nicklaus on his own golf course is like trying to beat Howard Hughes in a Nevada real estate deal. Yet that was the prospect faced by 143 P.G.A. players in the recent $100,000 Heritage Golf Classic at Hilton Head, S.C. The course was designed by Architect Pete Dye in constant consultation with Nicklaus, who, at 29, has been playing some of the best golf of his career.

Yet he refuses to acknowledge sacrifice or unusual achievement. At a recent award ceremony in his honor, Nader gently scolded sponsors in his speech: "I should not be given an award for doing what I should be doing...
There does not appear to be any automatic opposition to changing present patterns of undergraduate education; the issue does not break along the "liberal" and "conservative" political lines predominating in recent Faculty meetings. Before May released his announcement, he circulated it among a variety of Faculty members, and received encouraging comments even from some professors usually most resistant to political change at Harvard. The detailed series of questions which May put to the Houses-should action-oriented or vocationally-oriented programs be given credit, for example-aroused some opposition from Faculty members who mistook them for specific proposals...
