THE MfCH4GAN DAILY Page Tre Fall deluge: 'U' shifts gears By JENNIFER MILLER After a long, slothful summer, the University is getting ready to engage gears and set wheels turning for another onslaught of 30,060-plus students who will swarm into the city come September. Vice President for Academic Affairs Frank Rhodes is looking forward to that annual stampede of stu- dents soon to arrive. "I MISS HAVING the students. Ann Arbor is a delightful place in the summer, but it's so quiet." Offices, many of which have been on a summer 4:00-closing schedule, are preparing to return to real world hours. Instead of a one-and-a-half hour lunch break, some poor University employes will soon have to gulp down their food in just one short hour. What a shame. Classrooms, largely free from the sleep-inducing drone of professorial voices for the last four months, are being stripped, cleaned and rewaxed in readiness for the fall schedule. DORMS, WINCH HAVE lain luxuriously inactive all summer, will soon throw open their doors for precious trumks, suitcases, popcorn poppers, stuffed animals and other assorted memorabilia carted in by nervous freshpersons. Food trucks will dump their cargo into the cavernous kitchens of Marv Markley, West Quad, et. aI. And University staff and faculty are putting aside pleasant vacation concerns and bearing down in uneasy anticipation of the Coming. Rhodes has spent part of the summer camping with his wife and playing squash in the new intra- mural building. But he said the summer weeks in his office are not sery different from the rest of the year. "IT'S A TL'TLE easier in the fall," he said, "But were still on an eight-to-six day." Director of Physical Properties John Weidenbach said the University is preparing in several ways for September-renovation, new construction and in- creased trash pickup are underway. He pointed out that although the University is quieter in the summer, it never actually closes down. "There's just more of everything in he fall," he said. "I ALWAYS LOOK forward to the fall," he went on. "The enjoyment of working at a university is when the students are here." The stadium has also been snmartened up for the opening game against Wisconsin on September 1t. The bleachers have been repainted (in blue natural- ly), the row numbers have been restenciled and concrete is being poured to mend cracks. The Tartan Turf has been adorned with new yard lines, and a brand new "M." More than just the University is gearing up. Local store owners, particularly bookstores which carry textbooks, are stocking shelves in anticipation of 30,000 students hungry to buy. The University Cellar will hire 200 extra people for the book rush, which will be held as usual in the spacious Union Ballroom. Unfortunately, many of these 200 will later be laid off.

In a separate development, the Justice Department said it was granting several FBI agents immunity from prosecution in exchange for their testimony against other agents and officials involved in alleged illegal break-ins. JOHN DUNPHY, chief of the bureau's exhibits section, entered a guilty plea in U.S. District Court in Washington to a charge of converting to his personal use lum- ber and other materials owned by the FBI. The Justice Department said the value of the converted property was $100 or less. It was believed to be the first criminal charge in the bureau's history against an FBI employe in connection with his work. Dunphy faces a possible maximum sentence of one year in prison and a $1,000 fine. The court postponed sentencing. IN THE INVESTIGATION of the break-ins, Asst. Atty. Gen. Stanley Pottinger confirmed through a spokesman that he is "in the process of authorizing immunity for some agents." Pottinger refused to disclose how many agents are being offered a chance to escape prosecution by providing details of the break-ins to investigators and a See FBI, Page 5 ny Al' and UPI Massive traffic jams occurred on both sides of the frontier yesterday as Syria, possibly fearing a terrorist campaign by embattled Palestinians and Moslem left- ists, restricted the flow of refugees from Lebanon's civil war. The interior minister, Brig. Gen. Ad- nan Dabbagh, signed a statement say- ing all persons traveling between the two countries would be required to get passes from competent authorities. HE SAID THE new rule was an "ad- ministrative" step and denied the border was being closed. Interior Ministry sources had reported earlier that the border was closed. All of Lebanon's overland outlets are through Syria, which hems in Lebanon from the north and east. The new Syrian regulations left Lebanon's war-ravaged port cities as the remaining outlets for the right-wing Christians and their Pal- estinian-Moslem foes. BUT NO ARMS supplies can reach the Moslems because yesterday Israeli gun- boats took control of the sea lanes lead- ing to Lebanon's two southern ports of Tyre and Sidon, according to Israeli na- tional radio. The semi-official station said the pa- trol boats have "prevented a number of arms and munition supply ships from making deliveries to Moslems and ter- rorists (Palestinians) in the past few days." A spokesman for Israel's miiltary com- mand refused to comment on the report but the national radio must clear broad- casts about military matters with gov- ernment censors before going on the air. TYRE AND Sidon have been the main reception points for arms supplies to left- ist and Palestinian forces in Lebanon's civil war. Lebanese newspapers have carried a communique from a group calling itself the Organization of Syrian Revolution claiming responsibility for planting three bombs in Damascus Aug. 5.

But a handful of young guerrillas fac- ing certain death remained holed up in Tat Zaatar's bunkers yesterday and sur- vivors of the fall of the Palestinian refu- gee camp charged that atrocities were committed by the victorious Christians.
