Her hometown: Kansas City. Her alma mater: a
small Midwestern college. She traveled to New
York City and joined the company of modern
dance notable and Lincoln native Charles
Weidraan. This week Deborah Carr returned to
the Midwest to inject a bit of juice from the Big
Apple into the UNL dance department.
Carr was brought to Lincoln by the dance
department, which annually sponsors a guest
instructor. Throughout the week she taught rep
ertory and techniques of modern dance to
beginning and advanced dance students. She
also spent time behind the podium. She lectured
in dance history classes on her experiences
working with Weidraan. Dance students sampled
a potpourri of Weidman's repertory dances,
experiencing the theatrical and abstract sides of
the pieces he choreographed.
"UNL students are really receptive to me and
willing to work," Carr said. "They naturally have
an interest in Weidman's work since his roots are
in Lincoln, but they also possess the. enthusiasm
common to dancers everywhere."
Carr is a qualified judge of that. She has guest
instructed around the country at schools from
Harvard and Radcliffe to UNL and UNO.
In addition to her current position as instruc
tor at St. Joseph's College in Long Island, N.Y.,

Evolving from a small fold-ever leaflet, Lincoln
Magazine has become a 32 page, three-color
magsiine, complete with femurs articles, adver
tisement and letters to the editor.
Lincoln Magazine began in the winter of 1931
as a small ledlet that served only as & program
guide for KUCV, Lincoln Fine Arts radio. KUCV
subsidizes the magazine, said Gerry Tetz, editor '
of Lincoln Magazine;
Eventually, Tetz said, KUCV expanded the
magazine to say something about he station and
turned to advertising to carry the extra cast load
Though still a program guide for the station,
the magazine has expanded its focus. ,
An editorial note inside the magazine reads,
"in addition to carrying program listings for
KUCV, the magazine is devoted to fostering
development of all the arts in Lincoln."
It covers the people and environment of Lin
coln, along with the arts and artistic crafts, Tetz
Regular features of Lincoln Magazine are Lin
coln Arts, a calendar that gives a list of arts
events in the KUCV area; For Members Only,'
wtieh .lists thirds of particular interest to these
who support the station financially; ar.d, natu
rally, a KUCV pregrsm listing.
The ma gazine, which begin bi-monthly publi
cation last summer, has a circulation cf f,CO,
Carr also has her own 12-member dance company
The Deborah Carr Theatre Dance Ensemble.
If all of that sounds a bit pretentious, it's purely
intentional.
"With a fancy name it was easier to become
incorporated," Carr said.
However grand its name, Carr's ensemble
group has a, down to-earth philosophy. They
dance about man, letting emotions from the
inside surface and always keep in mind the form
of theatricality Carr absorbed from Weidman. .
"Everyone wants to know what it was like
working with Charles Weidman,"lGarr said. "He
wasn't on of the "untouchables ' he had a
sense of humor, and didn't play politics. During
e'arts, crates
with readers boih in and out of the state, Tets
said. ...
Even Hollywood has been exposed to Lincoln

. Carr performed' with the Charles Weidman
Company in New York from 1873 until Weidm&n's
death in 1875.
Carr established an excellent working rela
tionship with students during her "guest ap
. pesrance" at UNL ; . . '.

While we, the owners" of Simple

the following statements to be viewed
as sour grapes, (or gummy pasta, for
that matter), we would like to com

by your reporter in the Jan. 18 issue cf
this newspaper. .
Let us begin by stitir.g that we were
wanned by the generally positive tener

Such comments are not unique. In
fact, we ras.y hrve bscome a bit jaded by
customers who have compared cur food
favorably to fcre experience in Chi
cago, Mew York, Milano, Palermo and
so forth. We also noted that the reviewer
failed to mention that the pasta dishes
change weekly as do the desserts, and
that our bread is bsked fresh dally in
the restaurant.
Becsase your colleague did not detail
what occasioned his displeasure, we
cansst properly evaluate te$ assess

ourselves cn cur pastas and our tread
and think we serve among the best
pasta in Lincoln, and fcr that matter,
