Proceeds go to Associated Men Students 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.” Dart Balloon, Tic Tac Toe, and Hoop La. There will be a dance Friday night and Saturday night from 10 to 12:30 p.m. in Harbeson Hall. The recent first and second place winners of the Battle of the Bands will play. Admission is 50 cents. Adelphians Elect New Officers New members of Adelphians, women’s service club, were pre¬ sented and initiated Monday eve¬ ning at a dinner in their honor. Last Friday the semi-annual ap¬ plicants’ party was held at the home of Bonnie Haines. The Adelphians’ goals are to develop leadership and character and to take an active part in their colllege and community through service. Twice a year the coeds collect canned goods for needy families — once at Thanksgiving and again in March. Officers for the spring semester include Helene Wise, president; Miss Haines, vice-p resident; Linda Bishop, recording secre¬ tary; Margaret Roth, treasurer; Anne Stuart, corresponding sec¬ retary; Susan Lentz, parliamen¬ tarian; Janet Gobrecht, publici¬ ty chairman; Kathy Wise, clerk, and Anne Saulino, phone chair¬ man.
