U.S. Court Decision

This decision was the result
of a U.S. District Court hearing
last Monday during which Mrs.
Bright, a former second-year
student, challenged the
authority of the school's
student honor council to
dismiss her permanently
because of an alleged rules
infraction.

Judge Albert V. Bryan Jr.
dismissed Mrs. Bright's suit
with a comment that she was
familiar with the rules when
she enrolled at Mary
Washington. Once in, Mr.
Bryan said, she cannot say she
does not want to abide by the
regulations.
