...many campuses where coed living is accepted, students are pressing for one final freedom: the right to visit rooms with no restrictions. Peter Wilson, 25, a U.C.L.A. residence adviser at coed Earle Hedrick Hall, insists that they want open visitation rights, "not because they want to see girls 24 hours a day but because they want to be trusted to use their own judgment." But at San Diego State College, the men and women who share Zura Hall voted against any visiting in rooms. "It was not as much a question of morality as it was one of inconvenience," says...
Court tennis is still being played, and mostly by modern-day royalty. Of the 3,000 or so aficionados who play the game today, most are straight out of the social register-with one notable exception.

Even when sufficient open space can be found, local citizens are sure to mount powerful objections to the noise, danger and air pollution of a major modern airport.

...greater than 109,000 d.w.t. but Bethlehem Steel and Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock are gearing up to turn out tankers in the 200,000-d.w.t. class. Even those will seem small next to the foreign-built ships of the future. Japan's Nippon Kokan next month will open a dock that can accommodate an 800,000-tonner, and Belfast's Harland & Wolff is constructing a new facility that should be able to handle a million-d.w.t. vessel...
