KU to help train officers in Leavenworth program
KU will cooperate with the Ft. Leavenworth Staff and Command College next year in providing instructors for a new senior officers training program.
J. A. Burzle, KU's coordinator for the program, said 20 sessions of English, French, German, Spanish and speech will be given weekly Jan. 4 through May. Each course will meet two hours Thursday afternoons.
Nineteen KU professors and instructors will teach in the program.
Ft. Leavenworth offers a year's program annually for senior officers in advanced military training but next year will be the first for an electives program including academic subjects as well as military training. The officers may choose from 16 electives.
Three hundred sixty-nine officers of the 1,300 officers in next year's military training program will study courses under KU instructors. Burzle said.
Each officer chooses one elective, and must have had 12 years service. The average rank is major-colonel. Burzle said.
The KU beer committee, formed last spring to investigate the sale of beer in the Kansas Union, is apparently not dead.

Kyle Craig, student body president, announced at Tuesday night's ASC meeting, that the committee plans to make a report of its findings available to the council at the next ASC meeting.
The KU-Ft. Leavenworth program is part of the KU Extension Division, he said.
Burzle said the pilot program is a "completely new concept of cooperation with the U.S. Army. We hope this new program will be successful and be continued and expanded."
Salaries for instructors and transportation costs are covered by the Army's contract with KU.
University credit will not be given but each officer will receive an evaluation of his work at the end of the course, Burzle said.
He said the intermediate-advanced language sections were designed for officers who had been stationed in the country of the language they were studying.
