Free University
needs teachers
Free University, the sponsor of such
courses as sailing, disco dancing and car
mileage Improvement, needs instructors for
its fall session, which begins in October.
Free University is sponsored by the Uni
versity Program Council-City. Classes are
open to anyone for a SI charge.
Art Morrow, a student in the Free Uni
versity committee, said letters and applica
tion forms explaining Free University and
the need for instructors are being sent to
campus organizations, faculty and Lincoln
businesses. He has received about eight
applications so far.
There will be no limit on the number
chosen. UNL faculty and students can
teach a course, as well as people outside
the university system, he said.
Morrow said he would like to have the
instructors chosen by the first of May, but
applications will be accepted throughout
the summer.

Bloomingdale has written freelance articles for McCalVs
and Good Housekeeping magazines.
She as a B.A. from Duchesne College in Omaha.
Lincoln novelist Catherine Kidwell said three years of
work on TJie Woman I Am resulted in an August, 1979
publication by Dell.
Kidwell said her main problem in writing is that the
process itself is so frustrating. "It's hard work" she said.
As a writer, obstacles continue to present themselves to
Kidwell. She said that getting better as a writer is often a
handicap. If a piece is too intellectual, it is harder to pub
lish, she said.
Being a woman presented no special problems in writ
ing becuase writing is one occupation acceptable for a
woman, she said.
Another problem facing the author is living in the Mid
west because, she said, everything is centered in New
York. And the movie rights, she added, are all centered in
California.
Pretty much removed
"New York thinks we're the frontier out here," she
said, adding, "We are pretty much removed from what's
happening.
The mother of two and grandmother of three said The
Woman I A m is the result of her master's thesis.
Kidwell started as a freshman at UNL In 1969. She
now has a B.F. A. in art and ah M.A. in English from UNL.
"I'd like people to realize it's never too late and that
you can still do whatever It is you wanted to do. No
matter where you are or how old you are you can-still
start, she said.
Kidwell said the novel, her first publication, is the
story of a woman's life a romance and a love story. Two
thirds of the story takes place in the early 1940s in a town
like Lincoln, she said. The heroine's life, 30 years later in
New York, makes up the majority of the book.
She said, "What I tried to do in the book was to cap
ture what it was like to come of age during World War II in
Lincoln." The main character in the novel is someone
much like herself, she said.
Kidwell said it is a personal kind of book, limited
totally to her point of view.
She said she likes to express her ideas In fiction rather
than in psychology or philosophy. Through Action, "the
statement is dramatized rather than stated, she said. "I
work with saying something without saying it and let the
readers draw their own conclusions.
Writing sequel
Kidwell said she is in the process of writing a sequel,
set Ui New York.
' It is still too early to know how successful the book
has been but she said the unofficial report from the editor
is that just a few short of 50J0OO copies have been sold.
She said she had no real problems with being a publish
ed author. "I accidentally wrote something that was very
marketable, she said.
KidwelPs major influences include university classes
and associations with teachers and fellow students. Moti
vation and education itself made her better able to write
and gave her more to write about, she said.
"Talent, hard work, and education are the three ele
ments in any kind of creativity,' she said.
She teaches an Adult Education Class in fiction writing
at Southeast Community College, is actively involved in
the Unitarian Church and takes courses at UNL;
