Up a Federal appeals court judge hearing arguments about whether the government can Force Virginia military Institute to admit women suggested Virginia create a a sister school for females. Judge Paul Niemeyer of the 4th circuit court of appeals on wednesday also questioned whether the All male state supported school could resolve the sex discrimination Case by adopting a two track system for women. A separate but equal facility a would not violate the 14th amendment a said Jessica Silver a Justice department attorney who also conceded that single sex education by itself does not violate the Constitution. However Vii should not be allowed to exclude women just because most women cannot meet the demanding physical regimen she argued. Evidence at the trial indicated Only about 15 percent of women applicants could pass the physical training she noted. A the real question is. Whether two tracks Are mandated and whether the 14th amendment prohibits the establishment of a a sister school a said Niemeyer. The government filed its lawsuit against Vii in March 1990, contending the state supported schools All male policy violated the Constitution and the civil rights act. The suit was Fried after a Virginia woman complained she could not attend. Vii admits women for its summer classes but does not accept women for the regular fall through Spring school year.

The Only changes the school would have to make would be to provide separate Baths and areas to change clothes she said. In addition women cadets would have to be scrutinized by other women Silver said. Niemeyer disagreed saying greater changes would be needed to set up a two track system at the Lexington Campus a because it  be homogeneous. A Robert Patterson representing Vii said Virginia women who desire the same Type of education As the Institute provides May attend Virginia tech and join that schools Cadet corps. But another Vii lawyer former attorney general Griffin Bell said a if you admit women you change a min to Virginia tech. Vii would lose its distinctiveness if it is forced to change Patterson argued.
