Aside from these programs of individual exchanges, there were many travel groups. UCLA's "Project India" for three summers has sent goodwill missions to Indian universities, and California at Berkeley followed with a more hurried trip to Pakistan, India, and Ceylon. The American Friends Service Committee has also sponsored travel, although most of the attendance at its work camps and seminars in Asia was composed of Asians from nearby countries...
Material assistance, as opposed to travel, is the basis for World University Service, which receives contributions from college students around the world for various exchanges of aid. As one example of such assistance, the University of California sent a group of students to Indonesia to develop an affiliation with the University of Indonesia. Students at California are now attempting to raise half the money for a new $50,000 student center near Jakarta, and courses about South East Asia have already appeared in California's curriculum...
Whether the program is one of individual exchange, travel teams, or material aid, the problem of objectives confronts the American.

For complacency, 1954 was superficially like the peaceful and prosperous '20s. Between Sept. 18, 1931, when the Japanese moved into Manchuria, and Aug. 10, 1954, when the Indo-China fighting stopped, there was no day of worldwide peace. Between...
SUPER-HIGHWAY TRAVEL is growing so fast that the three-year-old, 118-mile New Jersey Turnpike is already obsolete. The $255 million toll road is now carrying the traffic load (102,000 cars on busy days) originally estimated for 1981, will have to be widened from four to six lanes along most of its length, at a cost of $26 million...
