U.of M. German Department PRESENTS "Deidermann und die Brandstifter" by MAX FRISCH Friday and Saturday, April 10 & 11 at 8:00 P.M. in Schorling Aud. of University High School (Proceeds will be donated to the Martin Luther King Scholarship Fund) Student By RON RULOFF Daily News Analysis As the housing market in Ann Ar- bor becomes tighter and more expen- sive, it is increasingly difficult to find an apartment to fit either one's de- sires or pocketbook. T h is reality is grim, especially for those still looking for an apartment for next year. Since January a new business call- ed Student Living Quarters (SLQ) has moved onto the apartment scene. The basic purpose of SLQ, manager Randy Eaton says, is to match the desires of prospective tenants with what is avail- able on the market. SLQ has compiled listings of avail- able apartments from realtors a n d private owners, each listing contain- ing pertinent information a b o u t apartments such as rent and the num- ber of bedrooms, Eaton explains. Living Quarters: House The same information regarding the type of apartment desired is listed by the prospective tenant, and he is giv- en a list of apartments that m o s t closely match his criteria. "We've researched the established landlords and private owners and compiled listings of about 1,500 apart- ments in and around Ann Arbor," Eat- on says, adding that 40 -per cent of the apartments are private and not listed by realtors. SLQ continues to give listings of apartments to students until they are satisfied with one of them. The list- ings cover basic facts about apart- ments but the students must find out the actual condition of the apartment for themselves. An informal survey showed that this has lead to disappointment among a I few users of SLQ's services. Most of those who complained about the ser- vice, however, admitted that their ex- pectations of apartment quality and price had been unrealistic. "We didn't like anything they sent us to, so we tried on our own for a month, then went back to them and got an apartment from one of their listings," one apartment hunter com- ments. "We had no idea a good apartment would cost so much," he says. The large majority of SLQ custo- mers contacted appeared satisfied with the service. A majority of those inter- viewed indicated they were happy to be given listings of apartments and not have to compile these on their own. "I'll definitely go to them again next year," says one f r e s h m a n girl. Eaton claims 60 per cent of those looking for apartments through his service are satisfied within two weeks. "People have been reluctant to use our service because of a $25 service charge. We're cutting that in half now," Eaton says. He explains the previous arrange- ment had been to refund half of the $25 fee if the cutomer found an apart- ment through his own sources. By charging a straight fee of $12.50, Eat- on hopes the volume of business will go up with less paperwork. SLQ remains, for the time being, aloof from tenant-landlord disputes. According to SLQ, it is a referral ser- vice only, and does not engage in ac- tual leasing. Eaton says, however, he is interested in the Tenants Union ac- hunters tivities and would be "interested in talking to them." SLQ's business outside Ann Arbor- proper has put it in contact with own- ers interested in leasing farms and other property not traditionally rent- ed to students. So far, according to Eaton. SLQ has served as the go-between for about four music groups who were looking for a place where they could prac- tice without causing a disturbance. "People are reluctant to rent to groups," explains Eaton, "mostly be- cause of their appearance. This dis- appears when they see hard cash and are assured there will be no trouble meeting payments." Eaton adds that he has had several inquiries concerning renting farm- land for communes. I . ---AL -s E 'I I L II l A III..

I the news today by The Associated Press and College Press Service FLORIDA GOVERNOR Claude Kirk yesterday resumed con- trol of the Manatee County school system, refusing to integrate classes as ordered by U.S. District Judge Ben Krentzman. Defying a federal judge for the second time in three days, Kirk suspended once again the county's top school officials. Kirk suspended County Supt. Dr. Jack. Davidson for the first time Sunday, a day before classes were to be desegregated under a ilan approved by Judge Krentzman. The judge directed Davidson to reclaim his job and to implement the desegregation order by today. The order called for an additional 2,600 of the system's 17,000 pupils to be bused to new schools. An aide to the governor reiterated Kirk's opposition to forced busing. Kirk appointed his education assistant, William Meloy, to ad- minister the county's school system for him. MEASLES-THREATENED ASTRONAUT Thomas K. Mat- tingly II may be replaced on the flight crew for the Apollo 13 moon voyage. The space agency said yesterday that civilian astronaut John L. Swigert Jr. of the backup team is immune to German measles and "is qualified in all aspects of the mission" to take Mattingly's place. The decision on whether to postpone the launch to May 9, the. next favorable date, or to remove Mattingly from the crew was de- layed, pending more medical tests. The three Apollo 13 crewman were exposed to German measles last week. The other crewman, James A. Lovell Jr. and Fred W. Haise Jr., were reported to be immune to the disease. Meanwhile, a strike which would have affected two Australian tracking stations that plot moon missions was averted yesterday when jobs were promised for technicians due to be dismissed. The strike would have forced a postponement of the Saturday launch. EGYPT CLAIMED yesterday that Israeli planes bombed a school in the eastern Nile Delta killing 30 children and wound- ing 36. Israeli-Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said Israeli warplanes hit only military targets. He said Cairo's claim meant that "perhaps the Egyptians did keep some children within the military installation." "If they did so," Dayan added, "then of course they took upon themselves a very heavy responsibility." "We are ready to show the pictures and to explain how we know this is a military installation," Dayan said. - - - - SOUTH VIETNAMESE; paratroopers, helicopter gunships and fighter bombers attacked North Vietnamese in Cambodia yes- terday and Tuesday. Sources in Saigon reported yesterday that the Cambodian gov- ernment has approved the actions. The helicopter pilots claimed they killed 150 North Vietnamese soldiers when they flew five miles into Cambodia Tuesday. South Vietnamese paratroopers marched out of Cambodia yes- terday to join U.S. troops in South Vietnam. Backed by planes, the South Vietnamese had struck an area north of Highway 1, the main thoroughfare between Saigon and Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital. THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION yesterday was accused of helping the food industry set the nation's dinner tables with chemical feasts. Investigators directed by Ralph Nader said the FDA fails to block harmful additives and pesticide residues from getting into foods, per- mits processors to avoid listing possibly harmful ingredients, and doesn't devote enough time to policing sanitation. The Agency replied by describing its recent reorganization as one change which has made it more responsive to consumer interests. THE MASSACHUSETTS SUPREME COURT yesterday or- dered the inquest papers in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne to be impounded. At the request of the stenographic firm which recorded testimony at the closed inquest in January, the full court directed that the transcript not be released until the court so orders. The firm claims a financial interest in the transcript. The case involves the drowning death last July of Miss Kopechne, whose body was found in Sen. Edward Kennedy's car after it went off a bridge into a pond on Chappaquiddick Island. Congress acts to avert strike P ir ri n tti1y page three Thursday, April 9, 1970 Ann Arbor, Michigan Page Three in rail dispute WASHINGTON (M -- Congress passed and sent to the White House yesterday a bill designed to avert a nationwide railroad strike. The Senate passed the bill first, 88 to 3, and then the House passed it by voice vote and sent it on to President Nix- on. The nationwide walkout had been threatened for Satur- day, when a 37-day strike freeze earlier voted by Congress ex- pires. Rep. John D. Dingell (D-Mich.) told the House that wildcat walkouts still might occur, despite the settlement imposed by Congress. 6th WEEK dwm DIAL 8-6416 -Associated Press Meeting of the mayors New York City Mayor John V.

CONTINUING SERIES: Students rap about drug use and abuse ACADEMY AWARD WINNER BEST FOREIGN FILM, "THE LAST WORD IN THRILLERS, TERRIFIC!" -GENE SHALIT, Look Mogozine By ROBERT JERRO In the first of a series of dis- cussions aboutndrugs in the Un- ion Tuesday night, a group of "Woodstock citizens" tried to clear up some of "straight" so- ciety's a 11 e g e d misconceptions about drug use and abuse. Steven Schwartz, a graduate student in psychology, elaborated on the topic of drugs and society Tuesday night. Tonight, Dr. Jul- ian Villarreal will start a discus- sion of drug dependence and. treatment at 7:30 p.m. in the Un- ion. Schwartz called the present prohibition against d r u g s in America a "'panic" on the part of middle class America which, he said, associates drug use with a strange- and menacing culture characterized by a "f r e e life style." "The laws against drug use are hypocritical," Schwartz said, "be- cause practically every medicine cabinet in America is filled with pills to help you get up, help you stay up, and then help you get to bed at night and stay there." The 50 people listening to Sch- wartz broke up into smaller dis- cussion groups where some indi- viduals talked freely a b o u t ex- perience with drugs or with peo- ple who have taken drugs. One person, who said he "had dropped acid many times and will continue to do so," maintained that an LSD trip "is an intensely personal experience," andthat he "wouldn't recommend it to any- one who wasn't strong enough to face the paranoia that stares you right in the face w hen you're tripping." Everyone agreed that taking drugs might not be necessary at all if the pressure and responsi- bilities of everyday life were not so great. Detective Lt. Eugene Stauden- meier of the Ann Arbor police said, "I can cope with the pres- sures of life without drugs, with- out alcohol, without artificial help." Staudenmeier mentioned t h a t something like the beauty of the Grand Canyon could be enough to get him high. However, .one girl added "That experience is 200 times as good with drugs." Nixon asked Congress for the legislation, which puts into. effect by law a settlement worked out by the railroads and negotiators for four shoperaft unions 1 as t De- cember. The settlement did not go into effect, however, because one of the unions involved - the sheet metal workers -- rejected it. The boilermakers, machinists, a n d electricians approved the settle- ment. T h e December agreement in- cludes retroactive and prospective pay increases of 68 cents an hour for the 47,000 rail employes rep- resented by the four unions. Sec- retary of Labor George P. Shultz has estimated each man will get about $500 in back pay. Sen. Jacob K. .Javits (R-NY), floor manager for the bill, said he knew the bill was unpalatable to the sheet metal workers. But he said it was impossible for Con- gress to devise any b ill which would satisfy all the parties. Meanwhile, a flurry of back-to- work movements yesterday check- ed the growth of a nationwide truck drivers' strike as Teamsters union officials met in Washington to discuss the widespread walk- out. Striking truckers returned to work in several cities, but the ef- fect of their actions was partly counterbalanced by a wildcat walkout that hit a major Chicago grocery chain. Nearly 15,000 employes of De- troit's Big Three automakers either were laid off or were work- ing curtailed shifts because of trucking tieups. The scarcity of goods to deliver forced layoffs of* nonstriking drivers in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Kansas City and Cincinnati. Concerning the slowdown by air traffic controllers, the Federal Aviation Administration claimed traffic was almost back to nor- mal. However, major airlines report- ed schedule cuts of about 40 per cent in the New York area and 12 per cent across the country. Some centers, such as New York, still had more than half the controllers reporting "sick" despite a federal court order saying this amounted to an illegal strike. Hja tcked~ freigher': released SIHANOUKVILLE(MP9-T h e hijacked U.S. freighter Columbia Eagle sailed out of Cambodian waters yesterday after 23 days of detention by the Cambodian gov- ernment. The freighter, loaded with 1,751 tons of bombs, was hijacked by two crewmen March 14 while en routcE to Thailand. A U.S. official said the Colum- bia Eagle would not go to Thai- land or South Vietnam. He said the U.S. government had agreed that this might violate Cambodia's neutrality. The ship is heading for a U.S. Navy base in the Philippines. It is scheduled to arrive at the base Sunday, the State Department said in Washington. The two hijackers, Clyde Mc- Kay and Alvin Glatowski, have been granted political asylum. by Cambodia. Columbia Eagle Capt. Donald 0. Swann said the two hijackers could be charged with both mu- tiny and hijacking. "Under the old law they could be hanged for this," he said.:"I don't like to see capital punish- ment, but we can't just overlook it." U.S. officials stated, however, that there are no plans to try to extradite McKay or Glatow- ski. The Michigan Daily, edited and man- aged by students at the University of Michigan.
