A Crowd’’ to Appear Next Week The Green Garter Coffee House is returning to UNC-C next week and bringing with it five new faces and a totally new sound. 3’s a Crowd is the name of the group and rock is the name of the sound - which is something new for us on the Coffee House Circuit. In order to provide the best in sound facilities in a comfortable atmosphere, the Green Garter has been relocated once again - this time to the Parquet Room 3’s A d is composed of five very talented young people who got together in 1967. Richard Patterson, Colleen Peterson, Dennis Pendrith, Bruce Cockburn and David Wiiiffen’s paths crossed so many times they decided to settle down on one spot. Mama Cass and Papa Denny Dougherty saw the group at Expo’67. In a very short time they were in California recording their first album for Dunhill under the direction of Cass Elliot and Steve Barri. Then back to Canada. “We aren’t out to make it big,” Drummer Richie Patterson says. “We’ll play the music we like, do our own thing and if people go for it, that’s good.” When questioned, “Drr you invision the Coffee House Circuit effecting your career?,” the group replied, “YES, we will get to meet many people and hope to have a good time together. We will try to bring a bit of Canada with us and take a bit of America back.” Even though they feel that Rock is the strongest growing trend in pop music, they stress that the style and the music is uniquely their own. The great jungle of pop music has its traps, pitfalls and ugly ways, but sometimes you come across a clearing where you find a type of truth and purity. 3’s A Crowd is such a clearing. Make plans now to attend the Green Garter Coffee House the evenings of February 20, 21, and 22! Joseph J.

Due to the technological age, there are many other communications systems more complex than the 3,000 languages of the world; hence, a better understanding of the significance of communication is a necessity today.

To bring further understanding of these systems and ideas to the students of UNC-C, the fourth annual Forum will present four outstanding men in the field of communications. They are Carl T.

UNC-C will begin Monday night, February 10, three courses for personnel of corporations in southern Charlotte. Courses will be offered for employees of Celanese, Eastern Air Lines, Humble Oil, J. P. Stevens, Catalytic Construction, Allstate Insurance and other firms in the area. Officials of Celanese have offered this semester to provide classroom space free of charge to get the program off the ground. Registration will be held at 7 p.m., Monday at Celanese. The three courses being offered are introductory calculus, statistics and probability and principles of economics. Dr. W. Hugh McEniry, Jr., vice chancellor for academic affairs at UNC-C, said that the courses are being offered primarily as background materials for the Master of Business Administration program which the University hopes to offer as soon as possible. Dr. McEniry said that while the courses are being offered primarily for specific firms in the area, there might be openings for others. Inquiry should be made to Larry G. Owen, the University officer in charge of the program. Estimated enrollment for the courses is 60. Mr. Owen said that they are being offered on a self sustaining basis, since the University now receives no appropriated funds for work in the community. Thus student tuitions will be used to pay the costs of the courses. UNC-C will send personnel from the business and admissions offices to the Celanese offices Monday to conduct registration. University officials have said for some time that they planned to respond to the educational needs of the Charlotte area.
