Entrepreneurship

Take a look at small business in
British Columbia. The latest statis
tics show more people are finding
employment in companies with 50 or
fewer workers while larger companies
are laying people off.

Obviously, there is a future in
small business. But a majority of
people currently do not have the
skills to handle the intricate work-—

to show where students weaknesses
and strengths lie in building their
own business.

Classes run all day Saturday, be-
ginning March 2, and the fee for
students not currently registered &
Douglas College is $45. Contact
the counselling centre for more
information.

ignore excellent talent, even if it
is in their own backyard.

But to help promote the works of
Canadian poets and playwrights,
Douglas College has commissioned a
series of readings for the spring
season of 1985.

Featuring some of the greatest awa
winning authors in modern Canadian
literature, Douglas Coljlege will
kick off the series with Dr. Rona
Murray visiting as the Writer-In-
Residence in the first week of
February.

The Calgary playwright Sharon
Pollack will appear Monday, February
11 at 7:00 p.m. for a reading in
New Westminster, campus room 3410.
In addition to several other commen-
dations, Pollack won the 1981
Govenor-General's Award for her
drama Blood Relations and Other

Plays.

The following week on February 19,
Tom Wayman, poet and instructor at
the Kootenay School of Writing, will
be at Douglas College room 3406 for
another portion in this series of
