tioner all-male honorary society to conduct initiation ceremony on campus,
(2) university thereafter prohibited ceremony, (3) petitioner then brought
an action in Federal District Court challenging Secretary's interpretation

for Secretary, university's president wrote a letter to petitioner stating
that regardless of lawsuit's outcome, petitioner could not conduct activities

Voir dire examination-Peremptory challenges.—In action by respond-
ent parents and son to recover for injuries sustained by son while operating
a lawnmower manufactured by petitioner where jury returned a verdict for
petitioner, Court of Appeals erred in holding that new trial should have
been granted because respondents' right of peremptory challenge of jurors
was prejudiced when one of jurors did not respond to a question on voir
dire seeking information concerning injuries of family members although
juror's son had sustained a broken leg as a result of an exploding tire; re-
spondents were not entitled to a new trial unless juror's failure to disclose
denied them their right to an impartial jury. McDonough Power Equip-
ment, Inc. v. Greenwood, p. 548.
