School may be out for summer, but in Inyo County, Deep Springs College is getting ready to start its academic year. The tiny liberal arts college has just 27 students, who together run a cattle farm and alfalfa ranch near the eastern Sierra town of Lone Pine.

But if a legal dispute resolves next month, next year's entering class at this unique institution could include women.
