I always put down "Available upon request" for references. The reason is that I don't want them phoning references until I have talked to them in an interview first, which shows interest on the part of both parties.
For a temp summer job, I'd be tempted to just alter formatting to keep it on one page, depending on what spills onto the second. If you were going for a more permanent/professional job, I'd say add extra info to make it more presentable on two.
Then again, resume writing has never been my strong suit....
