OJncemed students' interest in Indian affairs expressed Sixty or more concerned students here feel that the treatment of the Indians attempting to gain control of Alcatraz Island is unfair. The students are members of the i nte rdisciplinary studies class and have passed a resolution affirming the Indians' right to the abandoned federal property in San Francisco Bay. One student, Mary Reyes of Bonsall spent some time with the Indians as they stayed on the island. The s tudents believe that the cause is just, because according to the treaty of 1868 with the Sioux, Indians were promised unused federal land. Alcatraz Island which was once a fede ral prison has been abandoned since 1963. Anyone interested in this cause or one similar is invited to contact the interdisciplinary studies class which is headed by Gene Jackson of the English Department.

AGS offers tutors to assist students Members of the Palomar College chapter of Alpha Gamma Sigma, the national scholastic honor society, are offering a tutorial helping hand to their fellow students as mid- term final examinations race forward on the academic calendar. "The plan is simple," said Hank Pinto, a Marine Corps student and president of the Palomar unit of Alpha Gamma Sigma. "All the distressed--ifthat's the word--student has to do for some brush-up help is to request it at our special room, F-12. Volunteers in our club then will provide individual or group tutoring.'' Pinto said aid is available on any subject from anthropology to zoology from various members of the campus honor society, and that the service to other students is free. "Once a student signs up," he said, "the club tutorial committee will assist a competent volunteer tutor, and the on-campus details will be worked out between the two individuals, as to time and place. "Temporary room s have been made available for this by the college administration. For the student who is behind on assignments or worried about fi nals, t he plan certainly should be worth investigating."
