Colby's Athletic Dept. tackles gender equity BY KATE CHARBONNIER Sports Editor- Last spring the mailbox of every Colby varsity athlete was stuffed with a question- naire on the issue of gender equity in athlet- ics. The survey, conducted by the Athletic Department, aimed to pinpoint each athlete's opinion of his or her treatment by the Athletic Department. The Gender Equity Task Force used the results to determine whether a feeling of unequal treatment due to an athlete's gen- der exists. The Gender Equity Task Force includes two student representatives: Caleb Mason '95, who wrote a large part of the survey, and Dori Desautel '96. The students are joined by co-chairs Head Field Hockey and Head Lacrosse Coach Heidi Salin and Wil- liam R.
