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 the beginning of fall, the Harvest Moon, the appearance of several constellations as the celestial highlights of September. Fall officially begins at 12:21 a.m. Sept. 23; and the Harvest Moon, with its legendary mystical pow- ers, will appear at 11:16 a.m. on Sept. 12. And for devoted observers of the stars, -three noteworthy con- 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.

M0 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. On the inside .. . this is the fall registration edition of the Daily's Freshman Supplement . .. the front section contains this morning's news as well as summer news features . inside are feature sections covering "Student Life," By JUDITH RUSKIN 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 Confusion blamed on new tuition I loan packaging began, taking into account the higher tuition figures. 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.

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." See DOPE, Page 6 As the ,mercury, soars, ' plays ' 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. Cold water will be doled out at three different locations in and Doily Photo by DAVID MARGOLICK It's that time again!r Neither the oppressive .heat nor the last minute pangs of homesickness stayed the hordes moving into University dormitories yesterday.

RC, omen'S tudies setnew diretors around Waterman Gym during today's "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. By REBECCA WARNER 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.'- Laurie-, one of the founders of the Committee for Women's Studies, helped teach the introductory wo- men's course offered in fall 1972. The committee has recently won registration. own major," she said. The pro- 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.
