By 1960 there was no way to deny that women were tough nough to compete in longer events, and the women's 800 meter was reinstated, with the 1,500 meter following in 1972, smack on he heels of the enactment of Title IX.<br><br>Title IX's<br>Slow-Growing Tsunami<br><br>As for myself, I was already in my second year of college when Title IX passed. I grew up with three brothers, so I was lucky that sports andan active, physical lifestyle were always a part of my life. For most of my classmates, sports weren't "cool." Some of these women today wage their own wars with obesity, underachievement and low self-esteem - all factors that an active lifestyle and participation in sports can ease or eliminate.<br>Considering that in 1972, schools had virtually no organized female sport programs, Title IXwould take many years to put into effect As late as the 1970s, girls' sports not only were neglected, they were often actively discouraged. In the government publication "Title IX: 25 Years of Progress," it was cited that "In 1971 a Connecticut judgewas allowed by law to disallow girls from competing on a boys' high school cross country team even though there was no girls' team at the school. And that same year, fewer than 300,000 high school girls played interscholastic sports. Today [1997], that number is 2.4 million."<br>Legislative efforts to sabotage the original intent of the amendment were waged almost yearly until 1980, when the Department of Education was established and given the responsibility to oversee the implementation of Title IX through the Office for Civil Rights. From that point, Title IX began to work its magic, slowly though, as most social reforms do. Understanding Title I's impact requires us to look not just at the burgeoning statistics in female sport participation but also at the mindset of the young women ahletes of today.<br>While sports have created the most controversy regarding Title IX, the gains in education and academics from the amendment are also noteworthy. Title IX bans sex discrimination in athletics and academics. Before then, many schols saw no problem in refusing to admit women or in imposing strict lim3?R8Ŧ#5fu=GPIL9(bFoLpKwۃY 2٦>Ja&E3R[vw aS:zCyk!^=JV-E-exs΂b- aw5|KbWݹ{}} _EdZ&?$|q1v̍ McV\jg)1}k7T%FJ̉FtG@^)kЩA,$@EJOg-QXPXjYz.BN`'3Wm2ʪ|E. 3Y{wi.TcR 9&Ħ{۵ՎOJ9ua6JHi $xrk+Зը^Y)IZ!ڱw&T$Y]T!H{Pzeވ&:YfJaDI\"mz 4 rdG k[⹯b 摠>vѲ(l',ػ!1*ip&ry0dr GwlLjF96%_("X h7r?Ն]s&%̥dO\yãbLi^#H9ɑ 3ʛyQYV$[fkIIFC    $ &%# #"(-90(*6+"#2D26;=@@@&0FKE>J9?@=C  =)#)==================================================" }!1AQa"q2#BR$3br %&'()*456789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz w!1AQaq"2B #3Rbr $4%&'()*56789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz ?'/|V ޾ئGvYl'˴ .XqPK44JlƤӗȱI7r-v(-%Uu5K=/1y~llTDF'pv υ*IHa#NVކQD&{礿ҭ5h&qT?D̓1Ǐ6qTLunke6&JTj;&ME(+uZQΖ͗׃x6#P+)+ĉ)fhƶu YJ#bj1v)5swlDŽlzUu"*QӁ޸A\ť'~qևm@Rg~zh;A9][IUa%BVNQv4ѐk'Ķ]~7ծk+>pUwpy-㺹CE-@~}ŠllۮO9TeBͨ83jGΚR`z O ~̲gm8֢#TM*94E:Tt)o$"krKdկ&?\* s @<ǭC71/]Arc5gb=+Wqyq4(FaJd\UmlVZ+ie ">sӊgcM: \y#t}&IM"ߝX?x&)_Dtz:a6fh hź*1hK5jِs\,2bH5ꮂo(@~՝ PxKaLcVrԴVݴhťaU~5Y-j a2+&)c%=oR* "`5 mXI5i: vw$ 0 {chO;\!1A}NWFmLڦRkֵ*h^NF [k,,nnx-$SOQHUg#8%5xË;C72lj3qiz!:WWMhU4wK\ V8:y G 3Sl?UR>?h_sES%'vŭ՛æMx~s]]Iw7ǁ]w(cu$k:CK6t>.] UBF}kXYI0@ec*SuĠ1]iČ"' \>|<7U W̊9{CRԓYhHFq\oR3npI^*FIdN8_CWI<+ujE6T];(k3U@)`m}ƒu:lBn!W@gJڬEtfbSaofGe, 'xH'̜*T^匬I #N k.$ވs[ (%J>&m?4I8m2GEj{qNe"?4'GI) 86,5!,8\+MۇHT$B2 UG;r>\jC}ˣfNwzԋRiƷmqh# 6G7&^go=k9[ruZ?Ff^3Ïm浹UK۞9.|+s 1GS\W!E$R/Gj$1T۹犬<1}RIQYwFʹ )gtmjZiZ|}ҸWC 킴ʞdDu XZdKlۧ!M2,haWidT.4KltRfSg^1'T< =?oxUM+^9Kk6v`JvW{Fm#E%8<y sR1#9III`,Qp*ѨmFOOَ^ l  {akH #ڵUMn>/ds6IfI08"k5oxrY% m܄u{y ,P4lm'Z6fٵ5n"czz|.&p A"[L)6e.dKi1;Ij*s: Á[!3zH]ܐkq{.PiBfE'שx_Dt9.W,g: R8?sK"Ɍ~j6~#R'cxCd+/O~$#H;3ª1BBFjHaPTd.2Kq[G,AǩPn L"K{_i7AM(g ֻ Om-, S5i]&w.MW)x"^̓{s3kηh{f$/s֧Mj\:lgҼ_ g>\J׳\ɘ1Ҽ3|Qz@`iSDD70J\㎴RA#ݞ+R'aMcwsY}s+־b{kwPk0Y2 rHvh.Ik4;IY>sSZ1q.%GB{פî1]Da ]1gP.P\DdS@JsZ#0q*$1W.Lv(#WC,l;.=^/ )}hϜ*ۙ.hUHӃoFUWfyM]p:}k-ms8utI+)&V]۳i)
