Fair Treatment for Female Athletes
Co-ed universities often have menʼs and womenʼs sports teams. For

C. People prefer not to exercise,

D. That would be a mistake,team. One might assume that these teams would receive equal support. In
fact, in the United States itʼs more than assumed that menʼs and womenʼsteams and athletes will receive equal support. Itʼs the law.
The American law that is meant to ensure equal support for womenin athletics is called Title IX and is actually concerned with much morethan just sports. It states that:
No person in the United States shall, based on sex, be excluded
from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected todiscrimination under any education program or activity receiving
Federal financial assistance.
Although the law is not limited to sports, it does mandate that female
athletes at universities that accept money from the government should
receive support equal to that which male athletes receive.
As with most laws, though, it is not always followed. This became clear
in 2021 when a member of the University of Oregon womenʼs basketballteam, Sedona Prince, posted pictures on Twitter that highlighted thedifferences between the weight room provided for the menʼs team andthe one provided for the womenʼs team at the NCAA March Madness

Jean Batten was a pilot from New Zealand, born in 1909. She was active in the 1930s, when some pilots would
attempt to push the limits of existing aircraft technology. Batten’s accomplishments include long distance flights
which set new world records
Born in the city of Rotorua on the North Island of New Zealand, she moved to Auckland at the age of four. It wasthere that she saw flying boats, airplanes which land on the water, at a local flight school. She later wrote that thisinspired her to become a pilot. In 1927, she learned of American pilot Charles Lindbergh’s non-stop solo flight acrossthe Atlantic Ocean, which further inspired her. Against the wishes of her father, who considered flying to be an
unladylike pursuit, Jean went to England to learn to fly airplanes and earned her pilot’s license in 1930.
She made several long-distance flights in the 1930s, including three flights between England and Australia, eachof which broke solo women’s world flight records. She also set two world records for solo flights by any pilot, male orfemale: one was a flight from England to New Zealand, the other from England to Brazil. A 1937 trip from Australia
to England was her last long-distance flight. Jean Batten died in 1982 at the age of 73.
