Dennis Collins, Occidental dean of admissions, who will be dean of students in the fall, said, "There is nothing definite, but we are oing into deep dark sessions in the fall to explore the possibility of more coed dorms with an academic thrust on specialized interests." Share Lounges, Study Center Miss Judy Warfield, a French instructor, is resident director of the language, center that has 62 women and 93 men sophomores, juniors and seniors.

"The idea of the coed dorm," she said, "is the coming thing. Men's and women's wings are 'separate, but they share the same lounges and study center, and enjoy the informal atmosphere." Occidental has an- open dorm policy that permits visits by girl students to the men's dorm between 2 p.m. and 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays and from noon until midnight Sundays. Robert Bliss, a senior from Manhattan Beach, said it "is a lot more interesting to see a- lot of pretty faces in the lounges even if some of the girls appear in pin curlers.

It creates a much friendlier atmosphere." Feeling of Freedom Bliss also believes the honor system that permits girls to visit the men's dorm is one of the most welcome developments in college life. Karen Lichty, a junior from Scottsdale, said, "There is a greater feeling of freedom in the coed lounges. You really get to know 'the hoys well through conversation or activities organized on the weekends as a result of meetings in the 'lounges." 1 She said there is not so much pressure to go out on' weekends and the coed dorms have led to some dating. California State College at Los Angeles has no dormitories. But last week, the college's department of foreign languages announced a program with a private residence hall catering to college students for a foreign language house project.

The project would include mutual eating and meeting places although the rooms would be separated. Fosters Contentment Oldenborg's success prompted a committee on coed housing, which reported to the Pomona College Council and asked expansion of coed living. Although Pitzer. College is a women's school, Sanborn Hall, one of the three dorms, housed 20 Pomona College and three Harvey Mudd College men in one wing. Harvey Mudd College women live in the Scripps dorms.

At Pitzer, Mrs. Edward Malan, dean of students, says, "Women at Sanborn show greater stability, with Please Turn to Page 2, CoL 4 'MY MOM' Some kids give their mother candy on Mother's Day.

Times photo by Jeff Bobbins Campus housing is going coed. From Occidental to The Claremont Colleges, the national trend toward coeducational dormitories is being enthusiastically received. Next fall Pomona College will bridge the three blocks between the men's and women's dorms by opening one women's hall, to men and one men's to women. When Oldenborg Center for Modern Languages and International Relations, Pomona's newest dorm, opened in September, 1966, it was believed to be the first to combine a language center, international house and coeducational residence into a single environment. Eileen Norris Residence Hall, San Gabriel Tunnel Plan, Born in '46, Still Rated Sound BY DON SNYDER Times Staff Writer GLENDALE The idea of building a 14-mile tunnel for high-speed vehicles through the San Gabriel Mountains may seem a staggering project to the average man, but not to W.

Earle Roche. A detailed study done by him in 1946 for Union Pacific Railroad and still applicable today is the basis of a bill in the Legislature proposing such an undertaking. The bill (SB 555), introduced 'by Sen. Ralph C. Dills (D-SanTedro) and passed by the Senate Trarispor-" Committee, was defeated Thursday, by the Senate 12 to 18.

Dills, however, said he would ask the Senate to reconsider the vote Monday. It calls for setting up a county-governed toll authority to study feasibility, construction and operation of the tunnel. Three Divisions "No question the project would be a gigantic undertaking, but it is the logical and practical way to link metropolitan Los Angeles with the growing Antelope Valley," Roche says. The 81-year-old 'consulting engineer, whose specialty over a 60-year career has been preparing or assisting on proposals for huge dam, tunnel and other heavy construction projects in this country and others, estimates the San Gabriel tunnel would take seven to nine years to build and cost more than $1 billion. The tunnel, in his preliminary plan, would have three main divisions, one to carry trains at more than 100 m.p.h.

and two for one-way (north and south) truck and automobile traffic. The overall" facility, according to Roche, would start in the mountains Please Turn to Page 5, CoL 2 7 13 Children Add'Up to Lots Mother's Day on Use of City Staff in Election Pasadena Director Says Employes Should Not Take Sides in Charter Issue BY JACK BIRKINSHAW Times Staff Writer PASADENA Using city em-. ployes to disseminate information in support of city charter changes here is wrong, says City Director Robert W. Oliver. His comment was in reaction to a complaint that city, workers are answering questions and distributing printed material favoring these two issues on the June 4 ballot: "Shall the new city charter be approved, and shall a new election system, in which candidates are nominated in the primary by their respective district, be approved." Materia Said Objective City Manager John D.

Phillips said the material is objective and does not favor the charter. He insisted that using firemen, policemen, librarians and other city workers to "educate" the public about the matter "is entirely proper." Phillips said certain employes were briefed on the issue by Asst. City Atty. Evelyn Finn, who prepared a written analysis of the election for public distribution. Oliver said he does not object to rftv mr1nves distributing factual.

unbiased information and answering questions but does oppose their taking sides in their capacity as Pasadena employes. Indiana Incident He likened it to a news report last week that an Indiana widow and state employe had been fired for refusing to take part in Gov. Roger D. Branigin's favorite son primary campaign. "And that, said Oliver, "made my blood boil." Phillips a i the circumstances are not the same.

No political candidates are involved in this nonpartisan municipal issue, he explained. Oliver, an economics instructor at Caltech, supports the city charter issue, as do all members of the board. Board Hears Matter The matter was raised before the Board of City Directors Tuesday by Walter Hastings, 85 S. Allen long active in Pasadena City Hall matters. "It's entirely wrong and not proper use of personnel," declared Hastings.

Replied Phillips: "We have simply sougnt to maxe the employes knowledgeable about these matters so that if a citizen picks up' a piece of literature and asks a question the employe can answer it correctly." Hastings said he was not so concerned about the analysis brochure as another document which he said contains statements in favor of the charter.
