PCC's 'Experimental College '
Set as Quinn's First Move
By Jack Cook
An “experimental college.” Ap¬
proval of a revised ASB constitu¬
tion. Increased student involve¬
ment in their government. These
are the chief goals of Tom Quinn
in his new role as ASB president.
The experimental college, as
Quinn explains it, will be a for¬
um where students can gripe
and/or listen to controversial
speakers/debaters. Quinn said
the first debate in the college
will hopefully be between a mem¬
ber of . the California Democratic
Council and a member of the
Peace and Freedom Party. Fur¬
ther debates on Vietnam, chang-
25 YEARS AGO
ing morals and other timely topics
are planned.
TOM COSTON, who was elected
ASB president this semester and
was later disqualified, conceived
the idea and will be in charge
of the “college,” Quinn said.
The proposed revised constitu¬
tion has already been drawn up.
Interested students may pick up
copies in Quinn’s office in the
Campus Center. Included in the
revision are changes in the ASB
Board and Cabinet, but the most
controversial clause is the one
that would allow all enrolled stu¬
dents to vote in ASB elections.
THE ASB card would then be-
Superior Court Puts
Tut
к
Menning on Triut
By Vaughan Inman
This week 25 years ago the big news on the then PJC campus
was the Tuck Menning trial .
In the ASB’s Superior Court, the prosecution had just gotten
dismissed the case against Menning for parking in a restricted zone.
The defendant’s jubilance was short lived, however, as the dismissal
proved to be a tricky maneuver by the prosecution to get a new trial
and admit new evidence. The case later ended in a hung jury.
Also in the news back in 1943 was the student body election.
Then, as now, the cry was for more student participation. In the
previous election there had been a 40 per cent turnout. A student
who had not paid his student fees was not eligible to vote as he
did not have a student ID card.
There were articles on the war effort and letters from former
students now in the service, praising the Chronicle (former name of
the Courier).
The draft board was urging students to take more pre-induction
technical courses before such courses were compulsory. Navy reserv¬
ists on campus were probably relieved to know that they would
probably not be called up until July.
The Bulldogs’ (their name then) varsity basketball team, had
just lost to Compton, 47-37, shattering their drive for the California
jaycee championship. They had already captured the Metropolitan
Conference title. They then went on to lose their last game of the
season to the Caltech Engineers, 71-61.
So far it had been a good year for the Bulldogs, as both the foot¬
ball and basketball teams had come out on top in their first year of
conference play. This was under the shadow of all school play in
California being curtailed due to the war.
come simply a pass to school
activities. Quinn feels that the
cost of the card could be lowered,
and that local merchants and the
College Bookstore could be per¬
suaded to offer discounts to card
holders. Said Quinn, “Nobody’s
going to pay $12 a year for basic¬
ally nothing.”
Quinn said that his administra¬
tion has increased student in¬
volvement in much of college
life. He has been granted ASB
co-sponsorship of all depart¬
mental forums and voting seats
for students on all but two faculty
committees. “Our goal is more
power for students in all areas,”
Quinn stated. He also feels that
more students will vote in elec¬
tions and run for offices if the
revised constitution, with its vot¬
ing clause, is passed.
QUINN was asked about a
possible opposition party to his
Campus Unity Party: “I hope
that there will be an opposition
party, but I doubt that one will
form,” said Quinn.
Bob Henry, former ASB vice-
president, or Alan Test had been
expected to form an opposition
party, but nothing materialized.
“We don’t want a unanimous vote
on everything,” Quinn said. “You
don’t learn anything that way.”
“There may be a period at first
when nothing seems to be getting
done, but we ask for everyone’s
help and participation,” Quinn
said.
‘Why Vietnam?’
Dr. Robert Scalapino of UC
Berkeley will answer the ques¬
tion “Why Vietnam?” from the
administration’s viewpoint,
Monday, Feb. 26, from 10 to 12
in Sexson Auditorium. The fol¬
lowing Thursday from 10:30 to
12, Dr. Mark Mancall of Stan¬
ford will oppose the war. Dr.
Mancall is engaged in a re¬
search project on “revolution as
a revitalization movement”
The film depicts the carefree
life of today’s surfers. Together,
MacGillivray, 22, and Freeman,
23, traveled from the long coast¬
line of California to the outer is¬
lands of Hawaii, carrying cam¬
eras, tripods and surfboards.
Recorded on film are the beau¬
tiful tropical surfing spots of
Oahu, Maui and Kauai. You will
see such surfing greats as Billy
Hamilton, Mark Martinson and
David Nuuhiwa. Skilful surfing
and photography were combined
to produce amazing water se¬
quences in “Free And Easy.”
Touches of humor are added,
too, such as a classic “old car”
race from Kaena Point.
“Free And Easy” is the first
combined effort of the two young
film makers; it reflects the cre¬
ativity of their earlier films (each
filmed independently of the other
previous to this movie): “The
Performers,” “The Glass Wall,”
“Let There Be Surf,” and “A
Cool Wave of Color.”
Tickets are now available at
the College Bank for $2.
The film is described as “an
experience of sight, sound and
color.”
