(FORTUNE Magazine) – LOS ANGELES -- The first woman to join the ranks of the 700-member Friars Club in Beverly Hills is requesting that the club's sauna, showers, and Jacuzzi be opened to its four female members . . . Gloria Allred said she is proposing reasonable suggestions to the club, including allowing men and women to use the sauna together while clothed . . . Allred, who joined the club last May, . . . met Monday with William Sarnoff, chairman of the club's legal committee and First Vice President Herb Baerwitz . . . During the session, she said, the men suggested that ''100 members might resign if men couldn't go in the sauna nude'' . . . ''The physical facilities don't suit men and women going in together,'' Sarnoff said Tuesday . . . But, he added, ''We've got to live in the present time.'' -- From an AP dispatch.
