Sellout Predicted . . .
Peter, Paul And Mary To
In Repeat Performance
By BARB MARTIN
Junior Staff Writer
Peter Yarrow, Paul Stook
ey and Mary Travers met in
a Greenwich Village apart
ment in May, 1961, and sang
"Mary Had A Little Lamb."
One year later the trio had
become the most highly ac
claimed folk singers in t h e
country, according to an In
ternational Talent Associates
release.
Two years ago the group
appeared in Lincoln and the
performance was a sellout.
Ticket sales for the two-hour
concert to be presented at
Pershing Auditorium, Oct. 13
at 8:30 p.m. are paralleling
previous sales, said Persh
ing's representative.

THE FOLK SINGING TRIO ... of Peter, Paul and Mary
Marriage, Cheap Travel
Are Top Attractions
By ED ICENOGLE
Senior Staff Writer
Over 250 University stu
dents registered for Nebras
ka Free University (NFU)
courses Monday and Tuesday
in the first two days of the
NFU's registration drive.
This number, according to
Susie Phelps, chairman of the
ASUN's NFU committee, in
dicates that the enrollment
for the 21 courses may sur
pass last year's total of 600.
SECOND SEMESTER
A no-cost, voluntary collec
tion of courses, NFU is en
tering its second semester of
operation at the University.
"Since we waited to start
registration during the fifth
week of school," Miss Phelps
said, "more students already
know whether or not they can
fit an NFU course into their
schedules."
Miss Phelps emphasized
that many of the courses have
limits on the number of stu
dents who may participate
and that interested students
should register early in the
week.
MOST POPULAR
Opening registration was
heaviest for the courses "Mar
riage: Sexual, Emotional and
Social Contract" and "Theory
Wednesday. The $2.50 ticket
sales will probably continue
until the end of the week.
The trio, whose three most
recent records appeared on
the best-seller charts simul
taneously, was formed
through the efforts of Albert
Grossman, who arranged
their first meeting at Mary's
apartment.
Immediately a problem
arose the release said. The
threesome couldn't think of
one song to which they a 1 1
knew both melody and lyr
ics, so they chose "Mary Had
A Little Lamb."
ENTHUSIASM SHARED
But the unsophisticated
rhyme didn't deter the group.
Yarrow said," we found that
we shared the same enthusi
asm for our work, and the
same conviction that folk
music is a way to communi
cate ideas and concerns." In
ternational Talent Associates
said.

and Practice of Free and Low
Cost Travel".
The number registering for
some of the courses may in
fluence their structure, ac
cording to one of the course
leaders.
"The structure of the course
I am organizing," said Dav
id Kelley, "will depend on
how many people sign up and
how they want to handle it."
SUPPLEMENT
Kelley, an associate profes
sor of anthropology at t h e
University, is leading "The
Concept of the Incredible".
i There are certain subjects
that are difficult to treat in
the ordinary class situation,
said Kelley, who attended
Harvard Univeristy and has
been with the Nebraska an
thropology department for al
most four years.
"Some courses are o v e r
structured sometimes and for
some students," he said, "the
NFU courses can be a useful
supplement to Univer
sity courses."
FORMAT
"The Concept of the Incre
dible" will-be conducted at an
informal level, Kelley said.
"I would like to have some
For seven months following
the first interview, the trio
worked towards this commu
nication with arrangements,
harmonies and rehearsals be

night club.
Engagements at the Gate
of Horn in Chicago, the hun
gry i in San Francisco and
the Blue Angel in New York
followed the initial perform
ance. ,
In the spring of 1962, "Pet
er, Paul and Mary" the sing
ers' first album was re
leased and was soon at t h e
top of the charts. Single rec
ords from the album, "If I
Had A Hammer," and "Lem
on Tree," also gained popu
larity. The wave of acclaim
started by the trio's first
releases occasioned a series
of cross-country and world
tours. Attendance records in
nearly every major concert
will appear at Pershing

sort of seminar," he said, "if
we have between. 20 to 30 peo
ple." Kelley added that "The Con
cept" will be approached
from two different aspects,
what kind of evidence has
been presented and the fac
tors in accepting and reject
ing the incredible.
UFO'S
The course will concern it
self, according to Kelley, with
areas such as unidentified
flying objects and ghosts.
"There are a series of ul
timately determined attitudes
towards what may or may
not be believed at a certain
time," he explained.
Factors that affect the cre
dibility of many concepts,
such as ghosts and UFO's,
vary with the individual and
his training, Kelley indicated.
Kelley said that he has col
lected considerable informa
tion on "the incredible" and
that the course will be de
signed to see what people
can do with these concepts.
"I think we will find that
the types of explanations,
rather than the data them
selves," Kelley said, "is more
important in considering credibility."

AWARDS RECEIVED
In only one year the group
had developed from three in
dividuals meeting for coffee
and harmonizing to a pol
ished and popular folk sing
ing trio, the release said. The
"group has received gold rec
ords for their albums. "Mov

"Peter, Paul and Mary in
Concert," and for their sin
gles, "Puff, the Magic Drag
on," Blowin' in the Wind,"
and "Don't Think Twice, It's
All Right."
The release said the group
has consistently refused to
compromise their ideals for
publicity and has even walked
out of performances when
requested to change the word
ing of authentic folk songs.
Participation in the Civil
Rights movement has af
fected sales and appearances
