Q&A with Valerie Jones

Rather than being named Homecoming Queen, Valerie Jones became the first Ms. IU in 1978. From 1968 to 1977 there had not been any sort of Homecoming royalty because of the activist atmosphere of the time, but Jones helped change that. Jones told the IDS what it was like to be one of IU’s most controversial members of Homecoming royalty.
