For a $30,000 salary, plus $70,000 for research assistants, the adventurous Roman Catholic university got Canada's self-styled Mind-Massager Marshall McLuhan, 56, to come down for a year's guest professorship.

Because the P.G.A. does not recognize the World Series as a legitimate tournament, the $50,000 winner's check did not count toward Nicklaus' official 1967 earnings, which last week stood at $156,748.
