no, your supervisor is just trying to conserve... it is sexual harrassment if the so-worker makes an advance

No, this is a strange request, but it is not harassmet. If something happens in the room, it may be a lawsuit because the company put you in that situation. Therefore you would have a suit against the individual you were rooming with & the company. But if it's just a bed to crash in, and nothing happens, you do not have a case.
With that said, most reputible companies would not like to have the liablility of the potential of something happening, and would not do this. You are obvisly working for either a start up company w/ little funds, or a company that is not business savvy enough to know how to protect themselvs. If you are not satisfied with the job 100%, I would look for a new job in your spare time. Companies that make bad decisions usually flop over time.

I don't think it's sexual harassment but I find that to be ridiculous. You shouldn't have to share a room w/ a co-worker of the opposite sex.

If the company is too cheap to pay for separate rooms, and expect you to share a room with a co worker of the opposite sex, I think I would look for another job or an attorney.

Only if you've requested an alternative and they refuse, and the co-worker makes a pass at you.
Then your supervisor will have forced that situation on you knowing you were uncomfortable going into it.
Honestly it sounds more like they're just trying to cut costs.

i don't think it is, if the supervisor didn't say anything advancing towards you. but i'm pretty sure you also have the right to tell your supervisor that you're not comfortable sharing a room with a coworker of the opposite sex!

I would not think it is sexual harassement but def a conflict of issue I would bring it up to your supervisor about not feeling comfortable if that does not work go above his head trust me someone will listen

your supervisor himself is not sexually harassing you, but he sounds like a cheap bastard.. if you don't want to share a room, you could tell your supervisor you'd rather pay for your own room than share a room..

um no, is your supervisor or co worker making sexual comments towards you? are they touching you innapropriately? If youre uncomfortable with the situation let them know, dont go around claiming sexual harassment becuase you could get people in trouble, especially since this is NOT sexual harassment.
