                  <text>High school girl's sports in Kentucky took a major hit when basketball was discontinued from 1932-1974. The passing of the "Basketball Bill"  saw a resurgence in athletics for girl's in Kentucky high schools and colleges. This collection of seven interviews shares the memories and thoughts of athletes and coaches impacted by the legislation, from a player on the 1931 and 1932 girl's state championship basketball team, to the male coach of the first girl's basketball team at Warren Central High School. Topics range from reactions to the legislation being passed and the sport reintroducted, to equipment, facilities, and funds for teams, to why there was a dormant period to begin with.</text>

In the following interview Hood recalls her years at EKU and the problems she faced as the first female hired into the Physical Education Department.  The interview provides incredible depth and analysis of women's sports in Kentucky and at the national levels.

                <text>Dorothy Chaney Pearson was born in 1912 and graduated from Western in 1928.  In the following interview Pearson addresses her student involvement in the Woodburn High School Basketball Program and the Kentucky State Basketball Tournaments between 1927 and 1932.  Of special interest in the interview is a discussion over the reasons why some women in the 1930s believed that sports activities were not good for females.</text>

                <text>Joan Hult was born in Gary, IN, where she attended High School before receiving a B.A. from Indiana University.  She went on to attend graduate school at University of North Carolina before receiving a PhD from the University of California. In the following interview Hult details her career in Physical Education and her eventual involvement in both the CIAW and AIAW.  She recalls in great detail the development, rise and eventual fall that the AIAW experienced.  The interview is an excellent primary source that details the behind the scenes interpretations of the problems that the AIAW and women athletes faced in the 60s, 70s, and early 80s.  A discussion over the politics behind the AIAW dissolution and the problems the AIAW had with their legal representation are of spceial interest.</text>

                <text>Leotus Morrison was born in 1926 in Savannah, Georgia.  She attended Georgia State College for women and Ward Belmont College in Tennessee where she majored in both Equestrian and Physical Education.  In the following interview Morrison details her experiences at James Madison University, where she coached basketball and dance.  Morrison played a major role in developing and initiating Madison's women's sports program.  Also included in the interview are detailed discussions about Title IX developments and regulations, Divisions I-III classifications in women's sports, and her presidential role in the AIAW Region II.  The interview is a perfect example of the impacts that the AIAW had on women's sports, as well as the personal and professional motivations that drove the AIAW missions.</text>

                <text>The following interview with Jan Watson details her personal and professional experiences in women’s athletics.  Watson was born in South Carolina during WWII, and eventually graduated from Winthrop College in 1964 with a Physical Education degree.  After graduating Watson made the choice to leave her home state to seek employment in Virginia because she claimed the VA athletics programs exceeded South Carolina offerings.  In the interview Watson addresses how the Newport News, VA district reacted to her insistence on expanding the women’s athletics program, first with a field hockey program, then basketball and volleyball, and other sports followed within a few seasons.  Watson also discusses her time in the AIAW administration and her role as a Region II representative.  Watson’s interview provides incredible insight into how the personal initiative of local women stimulated women’s athletics program expansions, most especially with the intercollegiate environment that the AIAW expanded.  In general, Watson’s interview details the pre Title IX culture that women athletics advocates challenged, as well as the early years of Title IX enforcement.  Watson’s efforts resulted in improved programs for girls and collegiate women, and she, and the interview that follows, adequately represents the critical girls and women’s sports grassroots network that proved a force to be reckoned with in the years that followed Title IX. </text>

                <text>Janice Shelton attended Georgetown College where she graduated with a double major in Biology and Physical Education. After finishing a brief stint at East Tennessee University she attended graduate school and returned to take up the Coordinator of Women's Athletics position. In 1974, Watson then became the East Tennessee Assistant Athletics Coordinator and a AIAW member. The following interview details her involvement with the AIAW, as well as her time at East Tennessee. Comments are also submitted by Nell Hensley who was in attendance during the interview. The interview provides insightful material that addresses Title IX regulations, AIAW eligibility records, the AIAW Appeals Committee, student athlete civil rights, and the individuals who Shelton and Hensley believed were prime movers in women's athletics.</text>
