NUCLEAR POWER: Campaigning for an
Embattled Cause Monday, Mar. 21, 1977
Young, casual and appealing, a group of three men and a woman swept through half a dozen
college campuses in Wisconsin last week, taking to the rostrums to advance a seriously
embattled cause: nuclear power. The soft-sell evangelists, who go under the name of Campus
America, are engineers and scientists employed by Westinghouse Electric Corp., a major builder
of atomic plants. All volunteers, they receive only traveling expenses for their proselytizing
efforts around the country. Yet in the year or so that the show has been on the road. Campus
America has become an increasingly important weapon in the still spreading battle between pro-
and anti-nuclear forces.
