Subletting your apartment or house can be an onerous task, although it doesn't have to yield such *astrous consequences. One of the most important rules to remember about summer subletting, according to David Calechman of the Ann Arbor Tenants Union, is "everybody has the right to sublet their apartment." BUT EQUALLY important, explained Calechman, is that the landlord has the right to approve the sub- tenant. The tenant should arrange a meeting between the landlord and the prospective sub-tenant. sublet race is on Calechman said a landlord cannot unreasonably refuse a subtenant. Jo Williams, director of the Off- Campus Housing Office, suggests that the tenant find out specifically why the landlord objects to a tenant's choice of subtenants, and "let us do the arguing for them." Calechman also suggested that tenants con- tact the Tenants Union or Student Legal Services for questions or legal help. After a subtenant is selected, both parties should understand their obligations. Calechman explained that the original tenant (also called the primary tenant) has a responsibility to make sure rent is paid to the landlord every month. The primary tenant becomes, in essence, the landlord, and rent can be, paid either to the primary tenant, or the actual lan- dlord, depending upon the arrangements worked out between the parties. JONATHAN ROSE, director of Student Legal Ser- vices, said the tenant should refer to his original lease to find out whether the tenant and subtenant must sign a sublease. In any case, said Rose, "it's probably a good idea," that some agreement be signed. bet- ween the parties. Rose also suggested that a copy of the original lease be attached to the sublease, since the subtenant has the same responsibilities and rights as the first tenant. Ifa sublease is to be signed, Williams said some landlords have their own forms, and added that the See KEYS, Page 10 Ten Pages plus Supplements 0 fl 0 a White' House denies Iranian letter claim From AP and UPI Iranian state radio reported yester- day that President Carter sent a per- sonal letter to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini admitting past mistakes in U.S. foreign policy and calling for an in- ternational commission to settle the. U.S.-Iran crisis. The White House categorically denied the report. "The president sent no message to Khomeini," White House press secretary Jody Powell told reporters. IN RESPONSE to questions, Powell said no such message was sent to Khomeini or any other Iranian official by any representative of the U.S. government. He did say Carter is con- sidering additional steps that could lead to a solution of the crisis, now nearly five months old. Iranian radio said the alleged Carter message was delivered by the Swiss ambassador in Tehran, but that was denied oy the Swiss Foreign Ministry in Geneva. Ministry spokesman Han- sjoerg Renk said the Swiss ambassador to Iran had not been involved in any Carter-Khomeini message.. Tehran Radio, monitored by the BBC in London, said Carter had sent a letter in which he told Khomeini, "My gover- nment inherited a very sensitive inter- national situation, which is the result of other policies and circumstances and made all of us to commit (sic) mistakes in the past." THE SUPPOSED letter said, "We are ready to accept the new realities which are consequence (sic) of the Iranian revolution." On the subject of the embassy takeover, the radio quoted Carter as sa.ying, "I can quite understand that the occupation of our embassy could have been an acceptable reaction for Iranian youths." The letter said the United States was "quite innocent" in the shah's move last Monday to Egypt. STATE DEPARTMENT officials ex- pect the White House to decide next week what steps it will take on the Iran problem and they say military force is not a likely possibility. While the White House has not an- nounced its plans, U.S. officials have said privately in recent weeks that America's options might include: Imposing an embargo on all trade with Iran except food and medicine. * Reducing the number of Iranian. diplomats in the United States. " Asking western allies to take economic measures against Iran and reduce the size of their diplomatic missions in Tehran. In other developments yesterday, a Tehran newspaper said a man who killed his five-months pregnant sister to save his family's "honor" claimed her unborn child had been fathered by an' unnamed hostage. The report in the newspaper Kayhan said authorities wanted to conduct blood tests on the hostage to check the unidentified man's claim.

The hostages include-19 foreign diplomats, tWo protocol officers from the Colombian Foreign Ministry, and eight private citizens - four Colombian and four foreign. THE REV. Javier de Nicolo told reporters yesterday he thought the ostages guerrilla chief meant that the eight private citizens would be freed and that the two protocol officers would be held with the foreign diplomats. He said he did not know when the hostages would be set free other than "during Holy Week." Holy Week is celebrated in Colombia from midnight Friday, March 28, to next Sunday, Easter Day.

HE SAID if the youths were suc- cessful in purchasing the liquor, two plainclothes officers were then sent in to cite the sellers for liquor law violations. *klleged violators will be taken to urt and the Michigan Liquor Control Commission will be notified in Lansing, added Reynard. He also said it is possible for violators to have the liquor licenses revoked or suspended.

REYNARD STRESSED that no en- trapment was involved in the operation.

But according to Jim Chaconas, a See LOCAL, Page 7 Brown and Coppola team up in Wisconsin campaign spectacular Pursell supports only mild defense spending By ARLYN AFREMOW The federal defense budget should not be drastically increased-especially if it's at the expense of social programs, U.S. Rep. Carl Pursell told a discussion group at the Michigan Union yesterday. The Ann Arbor Republican said the military budget should only be increased in carefully targeted areas, "chas naval fleet appropriations. Pursell acknowledged at the PIRGIM- sponsored event some social program cuts may be necessary both to finance his proposed mild defense increases and to help balance the budget-a move he favors as an inflation-fighter. But such budget cuts hould be made across the board at department levels, allowing cabinet members to decide which specific programs to eliminate or reduce, Pursell said. Pursell also said he opposes President Carter's draft registration plan, preferring to concentrate funds on "reserve units rather than draft and registration." "The impediment to getting new troops into combat is training time, not registration," Pursell said in a news- release. "Experience indicates that when our nation is threatened, the combination of volunteers and draftees is even greater than our training capacity." Pursell said the proposed budget guidelines are expected to be debated See PURSELL, Page 7 AP Photo THREE THOUSAND people gathered at the Wisconsin capital in Madison to watch California Gov.
