Title IX continued from page 1 more college level athletics. Smith then introduced herself and gave several examples and personal ac counts — as a University alumna — over the course of the evening. Sis ley — the woman who implement ed the title at the University in 1975 — introduced herself second ly and headed the majority of the forum discussion. She also ex pressed an interest in attendees’ reasons for coming to the forum. “Education leads to support,” she said. Law student Tracee Passeggi, the third panel member introduced, defined the three prongs of Title IX compliance: financial aid and scholarship assistance, equality in services available to athletes — a so-called “laundry-list” of benefits — and proportionality in equal op portunity and historical accommo dation. Passeggi also assisted in an swering clarification questions regarding the legal history of Title IX over the past two decades. Student senator Mike Linman — the only male in attendance — vo calized his concerns at several points and asked for clarification on certain aspects of Title IX, including how universities count athletes and scholarships. Sisley responded in "Education leads to support" Bev Smith Oregon basketball coach stating that all universities use dif ferent methods to gauge equity. The University, for instance, offers full scholarships to all of its ath letes, allowing it to easily comply with the first prong of Title IX. “The UO figured it out,” Passeg gi said. The last 30 minutes focused on concerns with present nationwide support of Title IX — or lack there of. While a YWCA representative said she gave the majority of flyers regarding the forum to male stu dents, the low attendance of both sexes gave participants a somewhat depressing impression. Sisley and Smith discussed the importance of supporting women’s athletics as a means of inspiring young girls to get involved early.
