Virginia Military Institute's male-only admission policy has been declared UNconstitutional.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled yesterday V-M-I must admit women or forgo state funding.
Keith Humphry reports while women will not be filling the ranks in the corps of cadets THIS Fall, they may not be far behind.

Just how far V-M-I will have to go to accommodate women is up to the Board of Visitors. The board meets two weeks from now.
But the superintendent says- -flat out- -that the Institute will NOT CLOSE. He has backed away slightly from saying he could raise enough money in just ten phone calls to make this a PRIVATE college. There is still support for the idea among alumni and SOME folks in Richmond.
If V-M-I does become co-ed, though, Josiah Bunting says he aims to abide by the law with minimal changes.
He's determined not to lower the physical demands on cadets to accommodate women, for example- -as the service academies had to do in the 70's.
