Be it ever so humble ..
If you're young, male and homeless, the University
Housing Dept. definitely doesn't want you. Roughly 200
male students-sophomores through grads-have gotten
the word that there's just no place for them to stay.
Further, 119 freshmen are homeless. The Housing
Dept. is trying to find "temporary spaces" (such as
an extra bed in a double room) for them, and so far
78 of the 119 have been placed. These "temporary
spaces" will only be available until Sept. 14, however.
The Housing Dept. is hoping that before then enough
"no shows" will have materialized to permanently place
at least the freshmen.

Teacher strike off
Some 20,000 Ann Arbor elementary and high school
students won't get an extended summer vacation, as
the local teachers union settled its contract disputes with
the Board of Education, avoiding a potential strike.
After bargaining non-stop for two days negotiators
reached a tentative agreement on all points, including
salaries and fringe benefits. The teachers will be on the
job bright and early for the first day of classes. "Fvery-
body is fairly happy with the agreement," a union
spokesperson said. But the teachers have yet to offic-
ially approve the new contract.
State of the Cosmos
Astronomy Prof. Hazel M. "Doc" Losh, in her
monthly forecast of astronomical pyrotechnics, marks

and the Harvest Moon, with its legendary mystical pow-
ers, will appear at 11:16 a.m. on Sept. 12. And for

stellations - Pegasus, the Winger Horse; Andromeda,
daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopedia; and Peseus, the
hero - will be visible in the early evening throughout
the month.

Heat wave blazes on
The scorching heat which has beset the country
for a solid week showed no signs of lessening yesterday,
as temperatures on most of the Eastern Seaboard
hit the 90s for the eighth straight day. Electric voltage
was cut five per cent in New England and eastern New
York State in an attempt to prevent a breakdown of the
region's power network.

Due to the massive increase in
tuition over the summer, the Uni-
versity's Office of Financial Aid
has been unable to notify students
of the amount of financial assist-
ance available to them.
The result has been unprecedent-
ed chaos within the department,
and general havoc within the bud-
gets of many students.
According to Thomas Butts, di-
rector of the financial aid office,
calculation of individual grants and
loans was delayed because of the
lack of specific tuition figures over
the summer.
THE HUGE 24 per cent tuition
hike was not announced until
August. It was then that grant and

Final award notification to ap-
plicants for financial aid will be
made'today, tomorrow, Friday and
Monday at Hill Auditorium. Pay-
ment of grant and loan monies will
begin on Sept. 1'.
Freshmen were notified of the
amount of financial aid they would
receive before the tuition hike was
announced. Most of these figures,
however, will be readjusted to take
into account the rising cost of a
Michigan education.
Butts said "most" freshmen
would receive more than they have
been previously told they would
get. Figures on freshman awards
are also available at Hill Aud.

tough

A year ago, the sunburst - like
outline of the marijuana leaf was
well on its way to becoming Ann
Arbor's unofficial city flower. Lib-
erals were in power in the city
.government, dope was plentiful,
and the renowned penalty for
possession or use was the $5 equi-
valent of a parking ticket.
Now it looks like the game is up.
WHEN THE Republican - con-
trolled City Council repealed the
$5 law on July 9, police officials
were quick to emphasize the re-
turn to the tougher statelaw would
bring about no visible change in
their policy of minimal marijuana
enforcement.
But last week Police Chief Wal-
ter Krasny declared that his de-
partment "will no longer tolerate
the open trafficking of marijuana
at public functions." And more
specifically, he warned those at-
tending one "public function" -
this weekend's Ann Arbor Blues
and Jazz Festival - that police
officers would patrol the gathering
and "anyone observed violating the
law will be subject to arrest."
On- Monday the chief reinforced
his warning to festival pot users:
"If they're smoking it, they'll
probably get arrested. - But if
they're selling it, they'll be busted_
for sure."
KRASNY'S WARNING, coupled
with the arrest of two persons at
Saturday's sparsely - attended
"Marijuana Melee" on the Diag
and indications from GOP Mayor
James Stephenson of a change in
city dope policy, aroused specula-
tion that police might arrest large
numbers of marijuana users at the
three-day festival.
Stephenson expressed satisfac-
tion with police actions at the "me-
lee", where a contingent of uni-
formed officers and plainclothes-
men apprehended seven persons on
suspicion of violating Michigan's
Controlled Substances Act. All but
two of the seven were later re-
leased; officers at the scene said
the two arrests involved traffick-
ing of marijuana and harder
drugs.
"I hope the message gets across
today," Stephenson told the Daily
Saturday, adding that the arrests
were "definitely" the result of a
change in city policy toward mari-
juana violations.
"WHEN GROUP violations are
announced, the police aren't going
to ignore it anymore," he contin-
ued. Referring to April's Hash
niew
dope
ifotceement
Bash,. where some 2,000 people
smoked unrrolested in the Diag,
Stephenson said, "That event made
this city the subject of public ridi-
cule, and we're not going to let
that happen again."
Krasny has indicated that some
15-20 uniformed officers will pa-
trol the blues and jazz festival. He
said yesterday enforcement will
focus on hard drug dealers, but of-
fered a slightly mildef version of
his earlier warning to casual dope
smokers.
"I don't anticipate large, num
-bers of arrests," he said, "but if
an officer observes a violation and
is in a position to make an arrest
discreetly -,that is, without start-
ing any 'trouble, then he'll make
the arrest."
HE FURTHER stated that large
numbers of state and county police
might be called to the scene cif the
situation gets out of control."

' beat the heat'
The University is trying to beat the heat.
The sweltering, merciless heat which has plagued much of the
country for the past week comes -at the worst time imaginable for the
University. The hustle and bustle of fall registration simply do not mix
well with 95-degree temperatures.
EFFECTS of the current heat wave have ranged from sun stroke
\o unexpected theft, and University officials are plainly 'worried.

"The heat will be a problem,"
said Douglas Wooley, associate
registrar, predicting long lines of
students waiting under the broil-
ing sun during the morning.
TO BEAT the lines, but alas not
the heat, he suggests that students
register in the afternoon.
The non-airconditioned splendor
of University dorms has proved to
be another problem.
"The dorms have terrible cross-
ventilation," housing director John
Feldkamp said. "Students are
leaving dorms open to cool' off.''
OPPORTUNISTIC thieves have
apparently noticed this open-door
policy. Although the dorms have
only been open a few days, sever-
al robberies h'ave already been re-
ported.
"It's better to be a little warm
than to ignore security," Feldkamp
warned.
For those not fortunate enough to
live in air-conditioned dwellings,
the Huron River has provided
some small relief from the burn-
ing sun. Many students have been
seen wading "ankle deep in the
little muddy" as it flows through
the Arb.

Two controversial divisions of
the literary college, the Women's
Studies Program and the Residen-
tial College (RC), were assigned
new directors this summer.
Margaret Lourie, assistant pro-
fessor of English and one of the
original promoters of women's stu-
dies at the University, has been
named by the LSA executive com-
mittee to head the newly authoriz-
ed women's program at the strong
recommendation of the Committee
for Women's Studies.
LOUIS ORLIN, professor of Near
Eastern history and literature, has
been appointed director of the RC,
succeeding former Dean James
Robertson.'-

Committee for Women's Studies,

men's course offered in fall 1972.

gram cannot grant degrees, except
-through the Honors and Bachelor
of General Studies Programs.
Orlin, appointed for a one year
term as director of the RC rather
than as dean, said yesterday he
considers his post "a great chal-
lenge." Orlin claimed "there will
be some new approaches taken.
We will be establishing closer con-
tacts with the departments of
LSA."-
The RC was intended as an "ex-
perimental arm of the scholarly
disciplines," Orlin said. In this re-
gard "there are many opportuni-
ties still to be taken advantage of,"
he said.
