Watkins says the Naval War College will play a vigorous new role in helping move the U.S. fleet out of a decade of decline. "It is our professional responsibility to ensure that we are going to fight smart," Watkins said. Watkins, in an interview published in the Providence Journal-Bulletisaid he intends to make the War College a renewed "crucible for strategic and tactical think n, ing." "This is not a training institution for people going to command. It's an educational institution for our very best to come and share their strategic and tactical, thoughts not only with the Navy, but with the Air Force and Army participants here and the Marine Corns."

State Offers Doctor Savs Group Hero Medal Psychology Needed In the past 50 years we have witnessed a number of horrifying examples of what can happen when one man, aided by modern technology, gains control of a multitude of normally civilized human beings and turns them into a regimented mob, says a Temple University psychologist. The psychologist warns that never before in human history has the need for an understanding of group pshchology been as great as it is now. Dr. Vytautas Cernius, chairman of the Department of Psychoeduca-tiona- l Proccesses in Temple's Colof Education warns: "History lege is a harsh taskmaster but the trouble is, time is running out. This time, we may not get another chance because if we fail this time, the schoolhouse may be destroyed and history, for us at least, may come to an abrupt end." Dr. Cernius, who has been a Temple faculty member since 1967, notes that history sets our lessons before us, but if we fail to learn them, it punishes us and makes us repeat the course. "Beginning with Hitler's Germany and Soviet Russia, through lesser nightmars such as Idi Amin and the weird, macabre tale of Jim Jones and his followers, contempo rary history is laden with examples of the agony, bloodshed and general havoc resulting from the control of the minds of a multitude by one powerful, charismatic master," he says. Cernius adds: "We must develop an understanding of the process by which Dr. Jekyll is transformed in Mr. Hyde; by which the rational, wasn't done, and his attorney human life, instead The SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) Utah Department of Public Safety has created a medal of valor to be given to people who risk their own lives in saving the life of another.

"Individuals who consider them- encircled by the words "Strength of mind and selves failures frequently compensate for their feelings of inadequacy by joining a power group who regard anything as possible for themselves, and resolutely refuse to be troubled by inconvenient facts. "Thus, at one stroke they shed their former, flawed identities, relieving themselves of the painful burden of thought, casting off all sense of personal responsibility and exchanging the tribulations of indi vidualism for the mindless euphoria of group existence. Cernius, a native of Lithuania who has done graduate study at the Carl Gustav Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, points out that emotions in such groups are simple, usually exaggerated, and frequently resemble chidlish fantasies.
