	There are three state universities here, and all pretty
good schools (he said immodestly).  The Writer's Program is at the University 
of Iowa in Iowa City which is in the Eastern part of the state on I-80.  Iowa
City is a nice town with much nicer facilities than you would expect in a city
of its size (around 50,000 and I think that includes the students) due to the 
University and the Med school.


	BTW, don't let anyone know I told you this. ;-)  There is 
*considerable* intra-state rivalry and not just in the apparent infinity of 
athletic team sports.
	I suppose that fact requires me to add that ISU does have an English
Department (and a Journalism Department) and they do teach writing.  Several of 
the faculty members are published (Jane Smiley who had a successful novel 
recently is in the Department), and there is a writing award in the name of 
Pearl Hogrefe (apologies; I'm uncertain of how her name is spelled) who taught 
Fiction here in years past.  Sorry I don't know more, but I work for the Comp 
Center not the English Department.
