C' T70 u V Piyuv By WILLIAM PESCIIEL Staff WHSer With University Lake at 36.5 inches below the dam, Orange Water and Sewer Authority officials are considering countywide voluntary water conservation. Everett Billingsley, executive director of OWASA, said Wednesday the association may ask the mayors of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and the County Commission chairman to enact Phase I of the drought ordinances. Both towns and the county passed similar ordinances years ago. Phase I calls for a voluntary cutback in water use. Billingsley said OWASA will check the water supply, the weather outlook and water consumption in the next few days before reaching a decision. University Lake has been going down at a rate of 1 to 1 Vt inches a day, he said. A warden at the lake Wednesday said the sandbar, upon which boats were beached that afternoon, is usually covered by about three feet of water. Under the various ordinances, Chapel Hill Mayor Joe Nassif, Carrboro Mayor Bob Drakeford and County Commission Chairman Richard Whitted would have to issue a proclamation, Billingsley said. "We would make as much formal notice to the public as we can," he said. "We already have a constant conservation program Phase I is slightly more stringent, but it does bring force to the minds of the community of our concern." Whitted said Wednesday the commission would comply with an OWASA request. Nassif and Drakeford could not be reached for comment. I ' During tha bst wctcr zhortzzo. tha level of University Lcks dropped 02.5 inches below cepscity. Under Phase I, OWASA would suggest 10 ways to conserve water. They include taking four-minute showers instead of baths, turning faucets off while shaving, limiting the use of dishwashers and washers and running them only at full'capacity, reducing the watering of lawns and plants, washing cars only when necessary and turning off air conditioners. If University Lake goes 43 inches below the dam, OWASA may request that Phase II of the ordinance be put into effect. Phase II would have more restrictions on water use and would be enforced by the police, Billingsley said.. During August and September of 1977 vhen University Lake was 82.5 inches below full, Phase III was enacted. Watering lawns and washing cars were prohibited along with the use of air conditioners. Water could only be served in restaurants on request, and gardens See LAKE on page 2 f ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (AP) Egypt and Israel agreed Wednesday to resume the stalled Palestinian autonomy talks in the coming weeks and to prepare for a summit with the United States after the U.S. presidential election in November. The development came one month after Egypt suspended, the talks over displeasure with Israel's declaration that all Jerusalem, including the Arab populated eastern sector, was its eternal capital. President Jimmy Carter and his Middle East trouble-shooter, Sol Linowitz, announced the talks would resume. Linowitz' s announcement came after a 45-minute meeting with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. The meeting followed two days of talks with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin in Tel Aviv. Sadat proposed such a summit after he suspended the talks oyer the Israeli law, passed in late July, but he had little to say about the agreement. Begin called the development "very positive," and added, "We are satisfied." The brief statement read by Linowitz here said: "On behalf of President Sadat and Prime Minister Begin I am authorized to make the following statement: "First, both parties agreed that they are and remain firmly committed to the Camp ' David accords and process and are convinced that they offer the only viable path toward comprehensive peace in the Middle East. Both are determined to see the process through to a successful conclusion regardless of temporary difficulties that may arise along the way. "Second, the parties recognize that for negotiations to succeed, they must rest on firm foundations of mutual trust and friendship, and they undertake to strengthen that foundation in the coming weeks. "Third, the parties agree to resume the autonomy negotiations at a mutually agreed date and to consult regarding the preparations, timing end venue of a summit meeting." At about the same time, Carter told labor leaders in Washington that the negotiations would resume in the next few weeks and that Egypt and Israil had agreed to hold another Mideast summit with him later this year. Carter quoted the statement as saying the two Mideast leaders "are deeply committed to the Camp David peace process. They will recommence the negotiations for peace sometime within the next few weeks and they both approved a reconvening of the summit conference later on this year at an appropriate time that will be convenient for all of us." Linowitz's statement did not, however, mention Israel's claims for Jerusalem. Sadat and other Egyptian leaders have maintained in the past that Israel must soften its position on Jerusalem before Egypt would resume negotiating. Part of the reason for the freeze in negotiations on autonomy for the 1.2 million Palestinians living in the West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip has been Israel's insistence that it continue to control Arab East Jerusalem. 7V7 M ed Seek, program revived wUh new stuff Ey SUSAN MAUNEY , ; - stff Writer The University's medical technology program is in full operation this year despite an almost complete faculty turnover and a low number of students entering the program this fall. The program has a new director, Jo Helen Cronenberger, as well as three new faculty members. A new faculty position also has been added to the program's four-member teaching staff. This year the med tech program admitted only 14 students, although the program had space for 24. The small number of students admitted coupled with the faculty changes had prompted rumors among some students that the med tech program was to be discontinued within the next few years. But Robert Sakata, director of Medical Allied Health Professions, said the University has no plans to phase the program cut. "In fact, wc are in the planning stage for a master's degree, in the program," he said. ,; Medical Technology dfals with laboratory analysis of biological material. Med tech majors may work in various laboratory jobs. A med tech degree may enable a graduate to work in hospital labs as well as in private research institutions, pharmaceutical testing, administration, teaching and sales. A student who wants to enter the med tech program must apply for entrance by Jan. 1 of his sophomore year. Though former students in the program complained of a strain last year between faculty members, Cronenberger, director since July 1, said any personnel problems have been solved. "There is absolutely no problem that I'm aware of now," she said. "We have a very cooperative system." Sakata said that the faculty changes were made for several reasons, but that none of the former faculty members were denied tenure. Barbara Kramer, assistant vice chancellor for health f , affaires greed with Sakata's assessment of the state of f , the program last year. " "Students were in a double bind. It was a case of ' lack of communication," she said. "Some of it w as pure personality conflict." ; Cronenberger replaced acting director Sharon Parker I in July. Parker resigned her post to go to the University N of West Virginia. Parker served as acting director after ' x director Joann Stephan left the post in January 1979. ' j Stephan is now director of Medical Allied Health S - Professions at Columbia University. She said last week that she left the UNC med tech program of her own free will. "You can stay in a place too long," Stephan said. "It was time for me to move on." Stephan was not reappointed as director for the med tech program, i Kramer said. Sakata said that Stephan was not - - reappointed because "she did not have the full support of the faculty."

On that day and on Sept. 22 students will be given the chance to register to vote in the Nov. 4 elections. Registrars for Orange County will register students in Woollen Gym Sept. 22 and 29 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. "The big thing is the combination of the registrars on campus and the mock election at the same time," said Robbie Hasscl, Student Government chairman of national affairs. "Lots of students haven't voted before and this will encourage students to register to vote and make students think about the choices they will have to make." Hasscl said the election should educate students about national issues through forums that will be held before the election for candidate representatives. Voting sites will be Woollen Gym and the Carolina Union. The election is open to all undergraduate students and graduate students. "We've never had a real mock election like this before," Hr:.:l said. "Vcter registration (so far) is a disappointment, but we hope to have at least 50 percent of the students to participate, especially with such issues as the draft around." Student Body President Bob Saunders said the Carrboro referendum that proposes a tax for Carrboro residcr.tsto help finance the mass transit system also will be cn the mock election ballot. Although Student Government will not endorse any candidates in the election, Saunders said it will take a stand cn the referendum.
