FOR THE RECORD

Correction

The name of C.R. "Andy" McCullar, who is president of the Virginia bank of First American Corp., was misspelled in a story in Sunday's Business section.

Clarification

Some information in Tuesday's story in the Sports section, "Morrison won't play for Hokies," needs to be clarified.

In January 1996, Attorney General Jim Gilmore asked state police to investigate former Virginia Tech student Christy Brzonkala's charge that Tech football players Tony Morrison and James Crawford raped her in September 1994. She has said she did not go to police immediately because she was in shock.

After a two-month investigation, the Montgomery County commonwealth's attorney presented the state police findings in April to a Montgomery County grand jury, which declined to indict the players.

Earlier in January 1996, Brzonkala filed suit in federal court against the two players under the Violence Against Women Act. She also sued Tech.

A judge dropped Tech from the suit and then dismissed the suit against the players, ruling that the act was unconstitutional.

Brzonkala and the Justice Department are appealing the judge's decisions.

In July 1996, Brzonkala filed suit against Tech and the players in state court to meet the statute of limitations. Those suits will be pursued if Brzonkala's federal appeals are unsuccessful.
