Its stu dents e mature, professional men. The average age is 35 and average rank is major. In fact, a captain is low man on the totem pole on this historic njglitary reservation. Young Rafael Trujillo, play boy son of the Dominican leader, discovered not long a so that even a general must toe the mark at Fort Leaven worth or not be graduated. That stirred up a diplomatic ruckus of sorts, but created no policy changes at the com mand college. The curriculum ranges from Russian geography to how many men will be killed per megaton of atomic ex plosion. In between is a sub . ject that has been facing mili tary men since before the crusades, but now for the first time brought up in the class room. ' Actually, the subject falls into two categories, "moral courage" and "psychology." The school's commandant, Maj. Gen. Lionel C. McGarr, a rare combination of combat, academic and administrative talent as well as farsighted ness, explains it well and briefly. Training in moral courage boils down to conditioning an officer in wartime to face such decisions as whether "to tear up a city or a hillside" in carrying out his orders. The psychological angle means turning out officers who are able to inspire their men. "That has been the dif ference between great and good divisions," said McGarr. "Those are the most impor tant things we can teach out side of the ABC's of the trade." . Began in 1881 The command and general staff school has evofved from its beginning in 1881 as the School of Application for In fantry and Cavalry. Today it has a 41-week course that eventually teaches half of all regular army officers. The qualifications for entry are tough. An officer must have eight years of experi ence and be under 42 years of age. The Department of the Army nominates some 615 students on their overall ca reer record for the yearly course. "There is no black mark on your record if you don't make the college," .a, staff member said, then thoughtfully adding in an understatement, "but it helps if you do." The fact that the college can handle so comparatively few men is a sore spot. But it will be partly alleviated late this fall when a modem, six - million dollar academic building is completed. This will eliminate classrooms in 19th Century riding arenas and gymnasiums and will up the enrollment to about 750. In addition to the regular course, the staff college holds two associate, or "half courses," per year, plus nu merous refresher courses for National Guard and Reserve officers. It even holds a cor respondence course by mail and two special nuclear cours es to bring old Army men up to date on atomic warfare. Among its other purposes are helping other Army schools with teaching doctrine and combat development. This latter department, Mc Garr explains, is designed to "develop a weapon to fit a situation, rather than a situa tion for a weapon." An example, he said, is the fact that the Army needs "smaller and smaller" atomic bombs to wipe out an isolated area without endangering friendly troops or populations. Allied Officers Enrolled Among the regular Army officers enrolled is a sprin kling of officers from Allied nations as well as the sister services of the U.S., the Navy, Marines and Air Force. The Allied officers are nom inated by their own countries, but the U.S. Army has the final say on whether they may attend Fort Leaven worth. Before going through the regular course, these officers a:e given a chance to brush up on their English in gener al, and on U.S. military ter minology in particular. McGarr puts it this way: "The more we can teach them our concepts, the better off the commander in the field will be when he has to fight ILLINOIS VALLEY Party Held at Camp By RUTH RAUSCH Cave Junction Store Gulch forest camp was the scene Saturday night of a party given by Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Hathaway for all the people along the river and former residents of the river area.
