In addition to Brennan, a Toledo native whose
address will open the symposium Wednesday, keynote
speakers will be Dr. Bernice Sandler, on Thursday,
and Mariah Burton Nelson, on Friday. Sandler played
a major role in the development and passage of
Title IX and other legislation prohibiting discrimination
against females in education. Nelson, a former
college and professional basketball player, is
a writer who has authored books on how women are
changing sport.
All three keynote speeches are free and open to
the public, as is a Saturday morning session on
Title IX, which was part of the federal Education
Act Amendments of 1972.
Scheduled for 8:30 a.m. to noon in 101 Olscamp
Hall, the roundtable discussion will include a
comparison of experiences by six women who were
athletes at BGSU from the 1940s to the '70s. Comprising
the panel will be Dorothy Luedtke, a 1947 graduate
who went on to coach at the University and still
lives in Bowling Green; Dr. Lynne Emery, '56,
of Pasadena, Calif.; Marcia Conrad Saneholtz,
'64, of Pullman, Wash.; Noel Jablonski, '72, of
Annandale, Va.; Mary Jo Beers-Takash, '75, of
Albany, Ga., and Cathy Copeland Mock, '76, of
Columbus.
The panelists are among roughly 800 women who
participated in competitive athletics at Bowling
Green before women's sports received varsity status
on campus in 1977. Those women will be awarded
varsity letters Friday at a banquet and ceremony
hosted by the BGSU Athletic Department, then introduced
the following day at the women's basketball game
versus Ohio University in Anderson Arena.
