Gates, said hearing the panelists’ stories was uplift ing. She said there were no women’s high school sports and only a handful of women’s sports at the uni versity she attended. “I think it’s great,” Gates said of Title IX. “If you have a skill, you should be able to develop it to the full potential.” Gates said she might have been more involved with sports had she been provided with the opportunities women receive today. “For a while, I could usually outdo my brother at most things,” she said. “But then he turned 13, and that was all over.” Women’s Week continues at I 1:30 a.m. Wednesday in MSC 225.
