U. Penn officials willconsider embracing coeds

Following last Sunday's overwhelming majority vote by the University of Pennsylvania's undergraduate assembly to support on-campus coeducational housing, administrators at that school will continue to consider the possibility of offering such an arrangement.

Coeducational dormitories are commonly offered as a way to avoid potential discrimination against transsexuals and other individuals who may feel uncomfortable in a same-sex environment.

Brown University, another Ivy League school, currently offers cohabitation to approximately 315 students, and officials there said the policy has been generally well-received.
