Others say there are still
friendly panhandlers but add that
panhandling seems to be on the
increase lately and that many
asking for "spare change" are
likely to utter "pig!" or other
obscenities if one refuses to of-
fer any.
Several travelers stopping in
Ann Arbor have expressed dis-
pleasure at what they termed
the unfriendliness of people on
Ann Arbor streets.
One couple said they felt the
people here resented outsiders.
Another commented, "It wasn't
this way last summer."
One person who says he has
lived in Ann Arbor for five years
and just returned from several
months in California says he is
"taken aback" at the change in
the community. "There's a lot
more people now as well as a dif-
ferent mood," which he attri-
buted in part to a more wide-
spread use of hard drugs.
One police officer interviewed
in front of PJ's restaurant on
State St. gave the opinion that
"people around here are really
getting restless and hostile."
Police Chief Walter Krasny re-
ports that breaking and enter-
ing is presently on the rise in
Ann Arbor.
One guess seems to be as good
as another as to the causes of
this apparent discontent. It's
Mars, say some. Astronomy
Prof. Hazel Losh affirms reports
that Mars is the closest to the
earth it has been or will be in
this century.
A worker at Ozone House, how-
ever, says there are other causes
for the reported hostilities. In ad-
dition to the fact that there are
a lot of people who have no way
to earn money, she says, "There
are a lot of kids who come here
from Detroit and other places
who just don't have a feeling for
the town.
"They've heard about Ann Ar-
bor - the place where people
live communally and everything
is shared - but they don't rea-
lize people have to work hard
together to achieve that," she
says.
"It's naivete. They come here
expecting Mecca, and when
their expectations aren't met
they get frustrated and hostile."
Another young Ann Arbor wo-
man sees people's attitudes as
part of a larger trend. "Nobody
I know has had a good summer
in Ann Arbor. There's a general
spiritual malaise.,"

BESIDES THE TRIBAL COUNCIL'S rock concerts at Gallup Park, there were weekly concerts,
sponsored by Summer City program, on People's Plaza. Although attendance at these has dropped
considerably in the last few weeks, some devoted fans remain.
