Ihrce free universities offer a way
to meet and study willi others
interested in the same suhject.
"Communilywide participation is
extremely important to the free
university concept." Sue Maes,
coordinator of the University for Man
at Kansas Stale University (KSU). said.
"Our students come from high
schools, senior citizen apartment
complexes, the town's Army base, the
black community and surrounding
small towns, " she said.
Coordinators at two other free
universities Denver free University
and Heliotrope in San I raiicisco also
said their programs attract diverse
persons in the community.
"Most of our students are 20-30
years old, hut we seem to attract all
sorts," Nancy Smart, a coordinator at
the Denver I tee University, said. "Less
than half our students arc tegular
university students. I he others are
teachers or just interested people."

"Our students have usually just
graduated from college and are
working in the financial district, but
we get other types as well," Peggy
Yoder, coordinator of Heliotrope,
said
The free university does not attract
many minority groups.
"We've tried to involve the black
and Mexican communities, but they
seem to want to stick to themselves,"
Yoder said.
All three of the universities publish
a course description catalog available
free at public libraries, bookstores,
coffee houses and on campuses.
Students can register for courses by
mail or at the free university offices.
