Nation IN BRIEF : WASHINGTON STATE : Students to Vote on Issue of Gay Leaders

The 1,350-member student body in Washington will vote on the issue Monday, requiring a two-thirds majority for approval. Even then, its chances of passing a review by the school administration are slim, said Principal Marilee Hansen.
