Text: Appellants have sought a temporary injunction, which under Code Ann. § 55-108 may be granted in the discretion of the trial judge in clear and urgent cases. Appellants argue that if the school's order were enforced, loss of course credit attendant upon disenrollment would be irreparably injurious to them; however, they fail to deal with the fact that this need not happen. There is another, less oppressive alternative open to them, which is to move into the residence halls. They fail to show any significant injury to themselves from so doing. Indeed, it would be difficult for them to do so in light of the fact that before entering the college they gave their oaths to comply with this very requirement. Appellant Jerry Moore testified that the military dorms were too rowdy to allow him to study there. However, he never denied the existence of library facilities, and never alleged any reason why he could not use them for studying while living on campus. Appellants have completely failed to show significant injury to themselves from complying with the school's order. Consequently the trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing the temporary injunction. See Wilson v. Sermons, 236 Ga. 400 (223 SE2d 816) (1976).
