  We study the collective electron dynamics in C60 clusters within the Time
Dependent Thomas Fermi method in the frame of jellium model. The results
regarding the optical spectrum are in good agreement with the experimental
data, our simulations being able to reproduce both resonances from 20eV and
40eV . We compare also, the results with those from other theoretical
approaches and investigate the implications of quantum effects including
exchange-correlation corrections, or gradient corrections from a Weizsacker
term. The nature of the second resonance is studied using transition densities
and analysing the probability current amplitudes.
