- <p> Atten-shun! There will be no sex in dormitories. That's an
- order at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado, and for many
- of the school's 4,410 cadets, 553 of whom are women, it is one
- of the toughest to obey. But rarely has the rule been breached
- as flagrantly as in a case revealed last week: a sexual
- encounter between a male and a female cadet, conducted under
- the watchful eyes of six male classmates hiding in a dorm
- closet. The romp landed the woman, who became distraught upon
- learning how public the performance had been, in a military
- hospital following an accidental overdose of pain relievers.

- <p> Five of the cadets involved in the episode have resigned,
- and action is pending against the remaining three, including
- the woman. Says academy spokesman Lieut. Colonel Greg Dziuban:
- "The cadets were there to help their friend break off his
- relationship. They were going to jump out of the closet, but
- somehow things got going too quickly. Everyone was clearly
- aware of the prohibition against sex in the dormitory."
