Luke Curtis, dean of student activities, told Courier reporters in a press conference Monday he had two misgivings about converting the PCC Representative Council to a “senate” with a check over the ASB Board. Firstly he noted that ASB government is a corporation which handles student body funds. There is no ASB membership require¬ ment to join the Rep Council. If that group were given the “check,” which is in essence greater legislative power, they should “contrib¬ ute to the fund they will be spending.” This would entail mandatory membership in the ASB for Rep Council members and perhaps those represented. < Dean Curtis went on to say, “Secondly, the ASB government and Rep Council could become unduly yielding. Such a step would compli¬ cate the machinery. ASB government is unlike regular governments such as state and national. Students are limited insofar as time and attention can be devoted.” The press conference may be heard over college radio station KPCS (89.3 FM) at 7:45 Thursday evening. Dean Curtis noted that the long range possibilities of converting the Rep Council might be good. Interest could increase in local gov¬ ernment and help overcome apathy. Regarding a statement made by Dr. Catherine Robbins, president of Pasadena City College, about student leaders failing to delegate work and responsibility and increasing apathy, Dean Curtis pointed out that this is a common problem. It is often hard to find others \villing to undertake the responsibility, and sometimes easier to do it for oneself. — Courier photo by Norm Shapiro ON DISPLAY— This evening from 7:30 to 9 the new Women's Gym and Campus Center buildings will be open to the public. Students are invited to attend and bring their families. Dr. May Addresses Forum on Man’s Creative Potentials Dr. Rollo May, New York psy¬ choanalyst and professor of clin¬ ical psychology at New York Uni¬ versity, will discuss “Modern Man: His Creative Potentials,” at the Tuesday Evening Forum next week in Sexson Auditorium at 8 p.m. Dr. May has long been concern¬ ed with the creative potentials in human beings as a basis for main¬ taining sound mental health and for therapeutic purposes as well. His book, “The Springs of Cre¬ ative Living,” outlines in detail the relationship of a man’s cre¬ ative potential and his level of well being. He will discuss his findings at the forum. Dr. May’s topic is one of a se¬ ries of six programs which the Tuesday Evening Forum has or¬ ganized around the theme of “Modern Man: An Assessment of His Nature and Needs.” Dr. May received his AB de¬ gree from Oberlin College and his PhD from Columbia Universi¬ ty. He has taught at the Ameri¬ can College in Saloniki, Greece, counseled students at Michigan State College, and lectured at var¬ ious colleges and universities. He has written “Man’s Search for Himself” and “Existence: A New Dimension in Psychiatry and Psychology.” Local Orators Attend Long Beach Competition PCC orators will travel to Long Beach State College this Friday from 1 to 9 p.m. to participate in the first junior college speech tournament of the spring semes¬ ter.
