Women in sports spotlighted JEREMY STALLWOOD Staff Writer “It is a wonderful time for women in sports,” Allen Widerburg said in his introduction at last Wednesday’s Fall term Authors’ Night. Three women sports writers were featured: Karen Karbo, Lauren Kessler, and Rene Denfield. “Women have been held from be ing fully physical for a long time,” Widerburg said, foreshadowing the discussion that would follow. Karen Karbo, author of Diamond Lane, Trespassers Welcome Here, and Big Girl in the Middle, started the pre sentation by describing the latter novel as an “interesting memoir.” Big Girl in the Middle was co-written with Gabrielle Reece, a six-ft.-three volley ball player named by Elie as one of the six most beautiful women in the world. Halloween Reece is also the ex-host of MTV’s Ex treme Sports. The novel is really a jour nalistic documentation of Karbo’s last summer spent with Reece on the vol leyball circuit. Reece tells of her life, Karbo tells the story of the season. Karbo believes there is a “degree of purity in women’s professional sports because they are not paid as much as men in sports.” Women don’t play for the money involved; they play for the sportsmanship. “Some women take a cut in pay to play professional basketball. Women [in sports] aren’t corrupted by money; women want to be who they are rather than live the expectations of society,” Karbo said. Lauren Kessler, who wrote the book Stubborn Twig, which won the Oregon Book award, and her latest book, Full Court Press, then took the podium. She began by describing the book as a horrors Halloween's just around the comer.

Runge is exhausted from asking nicely for equality in women’s verses men’s basketball and files a lawsuit against the school administration. “Doors should be open the same width for men and women,” stated Kessler. Finally, Rene Denfield, author of New Victorians and.KrZ/ the Body and the Head Will Follow, stepped forward.
