Luber to Destribe Satire in Literature The fourth English Department colloquium of the year will be held Friday, at 1 p.m. in Harbe- son Hall. George Luber, associate profes¬ sor of English, will speak on “Satire in Literature.” ASB Positions Available Now Applications are now being ac¬ cepted for the appointive ASB offices listed in the Student Hand¬ book and 111C. Forms are avail¬ able in the Campus Center and 111C. Offices are also vacant for the remainder of the semester for which candidates with 2.2 aver¬ ages are urgently requested. These include the posts of assem¬ blies commissioner, religious ac¬ tivities commissioner, and Sen¬ ate second vice-president. Bob Henry, ASB vice-presi¬ dent, suggests that persons inter¬ ested in next semester’s offices begin working on the commission of their choice now. Current com¬ missioners have mailboxes in the Campus Center. “Satire seems to be common enough among peoples who have some claim to culture. It thrives when a nation becomes establish¬ ed and has leisure enough for crit¬ icism, and is not burdened with the bare struggle of existing,” Luber said. “Horatian or Juvenalian-urbane or angry-satire effects the chas¬ tening of men and manners. Whe¬ ther it is Aristophanes' of Swift’s, satire strikes a critical pose, though usually a humorous and witty one, for the purpose of nudging frail humanity and frail¬ er human institutions to some improvement, he noted. “An interesting specu 1 a t i о n, however, is the question whether the satirist is genuinely interested in the reform he appears to cham¬ pion or in self-exploitation,” he said. The colloquium series have been well-attended events for the past two years. Luber's talk is the fourth of the semestr. Final colloquium offering of the fall semester is "The Mirror¬ ed Worlds of Cervantes and Twain" by Arthur Kelley of the English Department, January 5, at 2 p.m. in Harbeson Hall.

Mona Armstrong, former president, resigned the position November 16. A presidential cabinet meeting was held November 21 to deter¬ mine what should be done about the vacant position. ASB vice- president, Bob Henry, said the vice-president of the ICC should assume the position of president. Randy Fowler, ICC treasurer, brought a suit to the Supreme Council of PCC questioning the validity of the ICC vice-president, Virginia Gutierrez, assuming the presidency. The suit reads: “Randy Fowler asked for a decision from the Su¬ preme Council concerning the le¬ — Courier photo by Tom Wilmshurst STUFFED TOYS — Pasadena City College's Inter-Club Council is sponsoring its annual stuffed animal drive through December 15.

An unofficial ICC meeting was held last Tuesday and the suit was disucussed. Tom Sprout, presi¬ dent of the Supreme Council, explained the suit to Miss Gutier¬ rez before the meeting. The ASB Board is expected to rule tommorrow on who should be president of ICC. Leading can¬ didates for the position are Tom Wilmshurst, Fowler, and Miss Gutierrez. The controversy hits the ICC at a very bad time. ICC is gen¬ erally recognized as one of the most important groups on cam¬ pus because all campus clubs are represented. ICC is now in the middle of its annual stuffed animal drive and is organizing a student organ¬ ization day. It is hard to do these things without a president. 'From Stonehenge to ОАО' Topic at Planetarium Lecture In a talk that covered both archeaology and astronomy, Wil¬ liam Olsen, chairman of the De¬ partment of Mathematics and Astronomy, covered a broad range in “From Stonehenge to ОАО” in the latest in the series of pla¬ netarium Lectures. Stonehenge, Olsen pointed out, Library Remains Open Saturdays for Finals As an innovation in service this year, PCC’s Library will be open two Saturdays before final exams, January 6 and 13. Hours will be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The experimental program is a response to requests for Saturday service for the past few years by many individual students and by student government groups, ac¬ cording to William Weitzel, librar¬ ian. The new plan replaces keeping the library open during Christ¬ mas and spring vacation, a pro¬ gram which has not been very successful, Weitzel said. is a group of stones in the Sal¬ isbury Plain, England. The stones in the prehistoric structure weigh from three to five tons each. The whole group is enclosed within a circular ditch with a 300 foot di¬ ameter. Stonehenge has great astro¬ nomical significance, the speaker said. The stones are placed so ac¬ curately that on June 21, sunrise can be seen from the center, and the chance that this arrangement is coincidental is less than 1 to 10,000. Historians believe that Stone¬ henge was built by a rich, com¬ mercial people who had contact with the Mediterranean area. The stones used to construct Stone¬ henge were brought great dis¬ tances. It is also believed that the ruins had religious significance. Olsen also spoke about ОАО, or "Orbiting Astronomical Obser¬ vatory.” OAO’s, Olsen said, will be mounted on satellites. Each one will have a different astro¬ nomical experiment that will in¬ crease man’s knowledge of his universe. He has been a partner in Psy¬ chological Service Associates, who provide individual and group ther¬ apy, and research and writing, since 1953. He was also an assis¬ tant professor of psychology at UCLA, 1948-1954, at Georgia Tech. 1944-46; and a member of Pub¬ lic Personnel Administration, 1941- 44. Dr. Bugental has been a fellow in clinical, consulting and philo¬ sophical psychology since 1943. He is also past president of the American Association for Human¬ istic Psychology, the California State Psychological Association, the Southern California Psychol¬ ogical Association and the Los An¬ geles Society of Clinical Psycholo¬ gists. He has been on the Editorial board of “Psychological Reports," and now serves on the boards of “Psychotherapy: Theory, Re¬ search and Practice,” “Existential Psychiatry,” and “Journal of Hu¬ manistic Psychology.” Dr. Bugental has been a consul¬ tant to the Westwood Community Mental Health Clinic, Patton and Camarillo State Hospitals and the LA Psychiatric Service. He has also assisted in training pro¬ grams for the Pasadena City Schools and the county civil ser¬ vice. Senators Request Motorcycle Move PCC’s Senate voted last week to ask the administration to move the motorbike lot 100 yards east of its present location. Sam Soghomonian, Senate adviser, pointed out that since the Senate was created by the ASB to inform it of student sentiment, the senators might wish to sug¬ gest that the ASB ask the admin¬ istration to move the lot. At the next meeting on Decem¬ ber 14, the Senate will consider whether or not to allow students to grade their teachers and cour¬ ses.
