University housing officials are
looking at a 14-acre tract of University
owned land near University Mall as a
possible site for student apartments,
UNC Planning Officer Director Gordon
Rutherford said Monday.
"We've talked to Chapel Hill's
planning director and the chairperson of
the Planning Board. They have indicated
that the area would be a good place for
multi-family housing," Rutherford said.
The property, which is bordered by
University Mall "and Kroger Plaza, Ts
zoned R-3, a residential zoning, he said.
"If the property was developed, someone
could build at the most 200 units. If they
we e all 2-bedroom apartments, then the
complex could house 800 people."
Chapel Hill Planning, Director Mike
Jennings said the town has a great interest
in getting high-density housing. "In that
area, we would like to mix residential
development with the commericial
development already there," he said.
Chapel Hill and UNC housing officials
have also considered University land near
the Horace Williams Airport for student
apartments, but a lack of sewer facilities
constrains development, Jennings said.
"Although we're not encouraging or
discouraging developers in Chapel Hill,
our tight housing situation is having an
effect on rent levels in the town, which
isn't good for people who live on limited
means," Jennings said.
Housing officials met with the
Carrboro Planning Board last week to
ask the board to encourage developers,
but board members said tney were
concerned with traffic and transportation
problems additional students would
cause in Carrboro. "It doesn't look like
we're going to build in Carrboro,"
Rutherford said. "But it's good we know
now they aren't interested so we can look
for other possibilities."
"The University isn't interested in
making money," he said. "Any
apartments would cost substantially
more than dorms, but we would do
everything we could to keep the costs
down."
Rutherford said the University has not
decided whether private developers or the
University would own any apartments
that were built. "It is conceivable
somebody could build the units, but they
would still be considered University
housing, as Granville Towers is now," he
said.
Housing officials may contact private
developers in the near future, Rutherford
said.
"Any apartment plans would require a
detailed site plan review by the town,"
Jennings said, "but the land near
University Mall is a logical place."

You just might see UNC's Ernie Nolen on TV Thursday

Student in Macy9 parade
By PAT WOOD
Staff Writer
If you look closely at the jugglers in Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade Thursday morning you
.might recognize UNC's Ernie Nolen strolling
along--: ? V $ s I . v c v .
Nolerir who juggled at Busch Gardens this
summer, was recently contacted by Busch Gardens
personnel about juggling in the parade.
"They asked me like I wouldn't want to go," said
Nolen. "I said 'Sure!' I tried to be cool about it."
Nolen, a senior chemistry education major,
learned to juggle in high school. He discontinued
juggling for two years, but is now enthusiastically
back into the sport. ,
He juggled three or four hours a day during his
summer at Busch Gardens and juggles up to six or
seven hours a week now.
Nolen said his, interest in juggling was sparked
again by watching other jugglers. "When 1 first
went to a meeting (of the UNC Jugglers'
Association), I saw these guys doing these tricks 1
had seen on TV. I thought, 'These guys must be
great. But it's really not hard."
Nolen has been president of the UNC Jugglers'
Association for the past two years. Membership
was a sparse group of 10 at first, but has grown to
25 or 30 members, Nolen said.
N;olen said - he - juggles for enjoyment and
relaxation. "It's just like any sport; You start doing
it and you enjoy it. -
"It's also good during exams," -Nolen said. "You
can do this while you read," he said while
scrambling two oranges in his left hand. "After 50
pages you get going rally fast. It really relaxes
you"
When asked about a future in juggling Nolen
said, "I might work at Busch Gardens again. I've
had a job offer to work next year at an amusement
park in Pennsylvania. It's not open yet. We'd go
around to places in Pennsylvania, tell people
about it and do our acts. But I don't know."
As for Thursday's parade, Nolen said with a
grin, "I just hope the weather's good."
.Begin ready to EC nixed terms
JERUSALEM (AP) Israeli Prime Minister
Menachem Begin wants to turn back the clock in
negotiations with Egypt and is ready to accept a
U.S.-sponsored draft of the peace treaty that his
government rejected four weeks ago, sources
familiar with the talks said Monday.
Begin is prepared to accept a vaguely worded
clause linking the treaty to the development of
Palestinian self-rule on the Israeli-occupied
West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza
Strip, the sources said.
The point of linkage in the treaty had been the
obstacle that has threatened the progress of the
talks in recent weeks.
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat said in an
interview aired on French television Monday
night that he was willing to meet again in a
summit with Begin "anywhere but" Jerusalem
to try to resolve the remaining "10 percent" of
problems over a peace treaty.
In the interview, filmed Saturday at Sadat's
residence outside Cairo, Sadat said he would
"insist" that the final treaty be signed with Begin
"on the top of Mount Sinai, on my land" and
that he would refuse to go to Jerusalem again.
"I have already gone there once and I'm not
going to start again. But I am ready to meet Mr.
Begin anywhere else," the Egyptian leader said.
Sadat also insisted that no peace treaty would
be signed that failed to deal with the Palestinian
problem.
"If Gaza and the West Bank are not treated in
an overall settlement, no one should count on us
to conclude peace," he said. "It is serious
because it is a point of fundamental principle."
Sadat revealed he received a personal
message from President Carter dealing with the
status of Jerusalem, which he said was "quite
satisfactory.
"Although the issue of Jerusalem will be a
point of controversy and difficulty, 1 believe we
Egyptians have demonstrated good will and we
declared that the city will not be divided again
and that Jewish holy spots the Wailing
Wall can be under their control," Sadat told
his interviewers.
Replying to Sadat's television interview.
Begin said in Jerusalem that he was "happy"
Sadat wants to conclude the peace treaty soon.
But he appeared to ignore Sadat's wish not to
travel to Jerusalem, by repeating his offer: "Let
us sign the peace treaty in both Jerusalem and
Cairo that is just."
The prime minister did not comment on
Sadat's statement that he would not sign a
treaty that was separate from agreements on the
West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Sources close to Begin, who asked not to be
identified, said the prime minister was seeking
the help of U.S. negotiators in persuading Egypt

Several Chapel HilL restaurant owners said their
establishment will pour a limited selection of mixed

The state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board will

restaurants and private clubs. Establishments

A spokesperson for the state ABC board said
restaurants can legally purchase taxed liquor from
one authorized ABC store in each county as soon as
they receive their permit. But Norman Hill, manager
of the Orange County authorized ABC store in
Eastgate, said commercial establishments will not be
able to purchase any liquor until Wednesday
morning.
"The hours for purchase will be from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. Monday through Friday," Hill said. "Normally
restaurants will be required to give a 24-hour notice
of purchase, but that requirement will be waived
until they get set up," he said.
Most of the restaurants contacted said they will
start serving mixed drinks as soon as possible and
most said they should have the drinks by this
weekend. Many establishments conceded the 21-year-old
age limit may pose a problem for businesses
frequented by students.
Mickey Ewell, owner of Spanky's and a vocal
liquor supporter, said his restaurant will hopefully
serve a few simple drinks by 11:30 Wednesday
morning. Ewell's other restaurant, Harrison's, did
not apply for a license.

But Yacht Club owner James Vine cautioned
students to carry identification in case they are asked
because he will not serve liquor to persons who can
not supply the necessary proof.
Peking Gardens and Mariakakis restaurants said
they expect to receive licenses tomorrow but have not
set a definite date for mixed drink sales. Owners of
both establishments said they still lack some of the
facilities to comply with the state ABC Board
guidelines. '
Although all restaurants contacted said they p lan
to be extra careful because of the age limit, the state
crime control board said it does not plan any special
crackdown for Orange County.
"We have instructed our agents to keep a careful
eye on mixed drink outlets to keep them from getting
bad habits or starting with misunderstandings," said
Tom Parker, deputy director of the Division of
Alcohol Law Enforcement of the state Crime
Control and Public Safety Division.
"We will emphasize helping them the first couple

A parking proposal that involves transfering 138
student permits from N-4 parking and 150 student
permits from the Craige Dorm parking lot to a
proposed lot on Manning Drive was passed by ah 1 1
2 vote of the Vice Chancellor's Committee on
Parking and Traffic Monday.
The proposal also includes shifting 138 University
employees from the N-3 zone to N-4 and 598
employess from N-3 to the Bell Tower (S-2) lot. An
additional 86 employees will be shifted from N-2 to
N-3 due to a proposed but not yer funded addition to
the Ackland Art Museum.
Another 299 University employees and 299 North
Carolina Memorial Hospital employees will be
shifted from the Bell Tower lot and assigned to the
Craige (5-4) Manning Drive and S-6 lots.
New parking arrangements were made necessary
by the pending construction of the new central
library in the N-3 (Carolina Union) parking lot and
the addition to the Union.
The spaces lost to that construction ultimately will
be compensated for by the addition to the Health
Affairs parking desk that now is under construction
and slated for completion by Jan. 1, 1980. But for the
fall semester 1979, a temporary shift was necessary.
The approved proposal assumes that the Manning
Drive lot will be constructed by August 1979.
However, the Town of Chapel Hill has postponed
rezoning this area for use by the University for
parking. Student members of the parking and traffic
committee say they believe that either the rezoning
ordinance will be passed or that some other
arrangements will be made to accommodate
Zron journey
By CAM JOHNSON
Staff Writer
On the road with Zron Xron. He passed through
Chapel Hill Tuesday, riding his purple, horse-drawn
wagon. He's traveling with his three Dobermans from
Pennsylvania to Florida.
Is Zron his real name? "Could be," he says.
1 caught him on the Haw River bridge over U.S. 15
501 and rode to Pittsboro with him. Zron (pronounced
ron) is traveling in the horse cart he made last winter in
Pennsylvania. "It took me three months to make it so it
would be comfortable for us all. I figured there'd be
enough body heat with me and six dogs." Two of his
dogs were killed by cars, he says, and he sold another.
He's traveling to Florida to see the countryside,
sometimes staying with people he meets, surviving by
giving away posters for donations. "You don't see a lot
by car. You can't make a judgement on a state.
Sometimes I spend the night with the wealthiest person
in the county and the next night with the poorest black
family."
A horn honks, a blue pickup stops beside the cart, two
grinning black men question Zron. "Where you from,
man?"
"Pennsylvania." V
"Where you going?" '
"Florida."
"This is something else, man." The truck leaves.
That's how I pay my expenses, Zron explains. "I show
people my pictures of me wrestling with the lions." You
turns heads on trail to Florida
displaced parkers. " ,
Craig Brown, a student member of the committee,
moved that the members vote on the proposal, which
is an amended version of that presented to the
committee by the University Traffic Office Oct. 30..
The motion was seconded by Moyer Smith of the
UNC Athletic Association. "The students trumped in
this one," Smith said.
Brown also said he considers the adopted proposal
a victory for students. "We're happy," he said
following the meeting.
The original proposals involved moving as many
as 625 students from the N-4 lot to the Manning
Drive lot. But student committee members argued
that as many students as possible should have the
right to park near their dwellings.
Students also expressed concern about possible
safety hazards for North Campus residents parking
on Manning Drive late at Right.
Although the committee has approved the
proposal, the final decision must be approved by
John Temple, vice chancellor for business and
finance. Temple said he thinks the committee's
decision will be approved!
Major objections to' the proposal were raised by
representatives from the hospital, who charged the
Craige and Manning lots are too far from the
hospital to . adequately serve its employees.
Professors also argued that the Bell Tower lot is top
distant from the center of campus to be convenient
for instructors.
Brown also suggested that the 138 students moved
from North Campus be transfered specifically from
N-4B, 90 percent of which is assigned to commuters,
thus creating no inconvenience for students living in
residence halls in the area, but this suggestion failed.
see, he used to own two lion cubs that he traveled out
West with four years ago. "With six Dobermans, two
lion cubs nd an old English sheepdog riding in a
Cadillac hearse, we turned some heads, I can tell you."
He still turns heads, riding in his purple cart, pulled by
a spotted grey horse. He is barefooted, blond-haired and
carries a cup of blueberry yogurt. He wears an orange
sweater and corduroys. '
His dogs, who stay in a sort of cage made of the
salvaged parts of an old baby carriage, whine. Zron
laughs. "They want to go to the bathroom," he says.
"Just wait 'til it gets critical. When they start clawing the
seat, you know you better pull over and let them out."
One of the dogs is named Bronze Buccaneer. "His
grandfather was the biggest red Doberman I've ever
seen. I traveled the country with him and everyone
wanted him for stud. That's how I got started raising
Dobermans."
A transfer truck honks from behind the cart.
"Very few people cuss me, maybe two since I've been
in North Carolina. They just don't realize there are drop
offs alongside the road that 1 can't go on."
He sleeps on top of his wagon, in a sleeping bag. The
wagon is comfortable, with crushed ve lour seats and
partitions which can be removed to make a bed when it
rains. Two corn cobs hang over the driver's side, and
golden lion's heads adorn the front and back. The
Dobermans peek out between the bars of the old crib.
"You see a lot of dead snakes on the road. I saw one
awhile back that was cream colored with light-orange
stripes. Do you know what kind it was?"
He won't say why he's going to Florida, except to say
he wants to see the country close up. He's just traveling
south to beat the cold and stay in the green grass.
"See that?" he says. "A field of fresh collards. 1 even
saw some live tomatoes this morning. Just 75 miles up
the road, everything is dead."
The horse's hoof kicks a beer can.
"You'd be surprised how fast the miles pass when
you're trucking along like this."
Zron says traveling is nothing new to him. Last year he
traveled on horseback with one of his dogs on the
Appalachian trail in Maryland and Pennsylvania, . he
says. "I haven't stayed in one place any more than three
months in the last four years."
Zron slaps the horse's flanks with the reins. "This is his
slow trot. He has a fast trot that's twice as fast as this."
He covers 25 to 30 miles a day and has been on the road
since March.
His only real problem came in Pennsylvania, when the
top of his wagon caught and hung on a low limb. "That
was embarrassing. I was glad there were no
photographers around. 1 just grabbed the wheels and
edged it back, little by little.
Zron says he's met a lot of people in his travels, and
says they're all pretty much the same. "Most are good
people, you know. I f you stop and have a one-to-one talk
with them, you find out they're basically pretty good."
We part at.Pittsboro; Zron takes the reins and begins
clopping south again. There are three hours of daylight
left.
