Operation Share reeds more tutors Barbara Alegria, campus coordinator for Operation Share, has announced a need for more student tutors for the spring semester. To become a tutor, Palomar students make a commitment to spend at least two hours a week tutoring and being_ a friend to children who need some special help and attention. Each child's name is referred to Operation Share by his elementary school teacher. "The average elementary school class simply doesn't meet the educational and emotional needs ofmanychildren," Mrs. Alegria explained. "These kids need a one-to-one learning situation, where they can learn at their own rate and in their own way, without the pressures of competition.'' Mrs. Alegl'ia said that about 50 Palomar students volunteered as tutors last semester, and that most of these students will continue tutoring. "Unfortunately, there are many more than 50 kids who need help," she added. Mrs. Alegria stressed that anyone who enjoys being with children and who is able to make and keep commitments to other human beings should contact her in the Operation Share office, room R-3.
ASG TO TRY AGAIN
Hicks concert still possible Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks have twice failed to appear for scheduled performances at Palomar College. Yet, a concert featuring the nationally-known group is still a possibility. Last week, members of the sponsoring ASG decided to investigate the chances of negotiating directly with Hicks for a future concert. At the same time, the ASG also rejected plans to sue for the $800 in losses it has suffered as a result of the two cancellations. "If we sued," ASG president Stan Flores explained, "a lawyer we consulted said we only have a 50% chance of recovering our damages. And, if we lost, we wou~d be responsible for paying the opposition's lawyers." Since at the time of the scheduled January performance, one of the group's
·members was sick with the Londort flu, which was then a certified epidemic, the group decided not to perform. Performances at other California colleges were also cancelled. So, instead of suing, the ASG adopted a special plan to be used in an attempt to schedule another concert. Under the plan, Hicks would be required to appear on radio, personally apologizing for the cancellations. Sources had indicated that the performer would be willing to do these commercials. Other provisions of the pla.n include trying to negotiate directly with Hicks and his agency for a $1000 refund from a previously paid retainer , having a guarantee of the group's appearance. The ASG would spend no money on the affair.
