Wednesday, January 14. 1981. The Daily Tar Heel, 3 -.na S -J -A &ML Jii.. ; -It - . ju 4- N, KmJ A. By RACHEL iPEKRY Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Town Council voted 5-4 Monday night to approve the controversial special-use permit that will allow The Oaks Apartments to be converted into condominiums. The council defeated a proppsed zoning amendment that would have set standards for the size and, location for future drive-in businesses. The wording of the resolution was amended, but the proposed ordinance failed in a 5-4 vote. In other council action, two resolutions to increase the convenience and safety of bikeways were passed unanimously. One of the ordinances deletes the requirement that cyclists must use the bikeway parallel to Airport Road near Estes Diive. The council also adopted a resolution setting the maximum evening parking fee at $1. The Oaks conversion proposal was opposed by Mayor Joe Nassif and council members R.D. Smith, Joe Straley and Joe Herzenberg. "Conversion of apartments to condominiums is in violation of the comprehensive plan as 1 see it. Chape! Hill is too transient a community for that, Herzenberg said. Council members Dev . Kawalec, Marilyn Boulton, Jonathan Howes, Bill Thorpe and James Wallace voted for the proposal. "We do need a policy on condominium conversion, Kawalec said. In absence of any condominium conversion policy, however, she said the council should approve this- particular request. Hie zoning ordinance for drive-in businesses was opposed by Joe Straley, James Wallace, Bill Thorpe, Joe Herzenberg and Bev Kawalec. The council previously has denied requests for a drive-in photo booth and for drive-in windows at Wendy's and Burger King because of anticipated traffic and pedestrim safety prcb&ns. . ' The phcto booth, tae built in Kroner Plaza, was later approved. - "We're looking for guidelines that would let us turn down every drive-in- that comes' along," said Kawalec, who favors a stricter ordinance. "If we adopt this, we won't have any guidelines." Council members agreed to increase the safety of bikeways through more resukr cleaning arid sweeping, along with placement of additional signs and relocation of seme bus stops." . " . The evening parking fee ceiling was set at SI to encourage nighttime use of the town's two Rosemary Street lots. Town Manager Gene Shipman said that since people prefer to stay downtown longer at night, the town should not lose money from the lowered rates. . Present daytime parking fees are 25 cents for the first hour, 25 cents for the next half hour, then 30 cents for each consecutive half hour. After 9:30 p.m., motorists pay JO cents every two hours, .".''' for T Ok"! Bev Kawalec TT 1 i' Cy HOANN DISHOP SUff Writer Despite the new policy of mailing registration along with semester grades, fong lines still greeted students in Woollen Gym Monday and Tuesday as students went through the drop-add procedure. Students returning from Christmas vacation braved freezing weather early Monday morning as lines to pick up registration forms wrapped around the sides of Hants Hall and extended back to Hamilton Hall." Long lines were also the case inside Yoollen Gym as students tried, sometimes in vain, to pick up needed or desired classes or to change times or recitation sections. Departments which seemed to be having the longest lines were.ithe same as usual, largely the social sciences and the physical education departments. Students now wishing to add or drop a class should do so through the individual departments. Tuesday, Jan. 20, is the last day for students to add a course; however, the drop period will continue for six weeks. Ben E. ; Perry, assistant director of records and registration, said the length of the lines had net increased since last year, but he described the scene Monday in Woollen Gym as a full house. "The mailed registration forms tended to increase the number of students returning the first day of drop add," Perry said. "Under this new policy more than 3,500 drop-add forms were checked Monday which is a i i r t urged '''ms Mk':e level f&lk . ? t Christmas break end a wc3-d cserved rest d cn't chsnga things ...UNC is the same and drop-add lines were as Jong as ever substantial increase over the figures last year. "This new policy was put into effect this year as a means to serve the students," Perry said. "The students had-expressed an interest in receiving their registration earlier, so we decided to go with this system beginning this semester of putting it on the term reports. "We still want the students to pick up their registration forms at Hanes Hall as ' soon as possible. In the present procedure, if students don't pick up their registration packets, we have no way of knowing if the student is still in school. "This is one reason why we did not. include the class meeting place in the registration information on the semester reports," Perry said. "Students must als6 pick up their forms to receive their athletic passes and special notices," Perry warned that a student neglecting to pick up his registration forms at Hanes Hall could be cancelled as a student by the dean of their school or department. Registration forms cannot be picked up if fines, tuition and fees or other costs are still pending from the previous semester. .

A mid-November water shortage alert was called off Dec. 23 by Chapel Hill Mayor J Joe Nassif, after increased precipitation, water purchases from . Hillsborough and conservation allowed University Lake to refill.

Names on petitions would not be counted if a person's name was found on two petitions, if a student in one class signed for a CGC district he was not, in or if a non-student signed a petition. . Candidates also need to keep receipts for any. money they spend because of campaign spending limits. The Elections Board rw! .chpk t9, make sure students running for offices did not go over the following limits:, student body president, $400; editor of the Daily Tar Heel, $400; RHA president; $160; GPSF president, $160; CAA president, $160; senior class officers, $80; CGC representatives, $40. Candidates also are required to let the Elections Board see copies of their posters and handouts, James said. As of Tuesday, four people had said they would run for student body president, three said they would run for senior class president, two said they would run for senior class vice president and two said they would run for DTH editor. One person has expressed an interest in running for CGC representative, one for RHA president and none for senior class secretary and GPSF president.
