This past year, Carls, an American History and Literature concentrator, incorporated her interest in sports into writing her thesis entitled "Transforming Concepts of Equality in Competitive American Women Collegiate Athletics."
In writing her thesis, Carls examined the Title 9 clause--which mandates equality in all collegiate athletics--by delving into the alleged NCAA monopoly and the NCAA's hostile takeover of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women in 1983.
AS MANY EXHAUSTED SENIORS will attest, a thesis is usually a labor of love. Only rarely in any monetary reward attached to its completion.
But for Visual and Environmental Studies concentrator Lana Wong '91, her thesis' first showing brought a purchase offer--from the director of the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts.
Wong's thesis is a quilt depicting the pressure that media images place on women to conform to "an impossible ideal," she says. "It's mainly dealing with the media creation of ideals of feminine perfection."
