Thanks for all of the advice. To offer more information, I am using a job service. The lady who found me this position told me flat-out that if I tell him I'm only around for the summer, I won't get the job. Knowing that it's all-or-nothing, should I lie if it means getting a job that pays about $5/hr MORE than the next best job I could get? At 40/hrs a week for the next 10 weeks, honesty could end up costing me $2,000 ($5x40x10). I'm normally a very honest person--which is why I'm having this dilemma--but 2K is a lot to pass up.
If I lie, will they be pissed when I leave? Yep. Will I be able to use this job as a reference later on? Probably not. But will it crash their business? No, they'll just go hire another person. I'm only doing clerical/office work. And it'll have made me $2,000 extra, which is a good chunk of my tuition.
I'm really stuck with this dilemma... any further advice is appreciated.

I think you answered your own question. I would go ahead and lie if you know that you won't be able to use them as a job reference (which could actually wind up being false if they really like you and understand when you leave.....)
Go for it
