Two tires at 1 oxcrol't Apartments early
Sunday destroyed five units' in the
Ashley Court complex, and left three
others with severe water damage, Fire
Department Captain Matthew Maynor
said. Al! occupants of the 501-5)6 build-'
ing, one of five in the Ashley complex,
escaped without serious injury
Three fire engines were called to the
scene at 3:03 a.m., as a first-floor fire
spread to the wooden balcony of the
apartment above, Maynor said. The
blaze was put out by 5:30 a.m. "
The occupant of the second-floor
apartment was going to bed when he
smelled smoke and alerted his downstairs
neighbors, said Deborah Ergle, wife of
Foxcroft manager Dennis Ergle.
"It's lucky he stayed up as late as he
did or the guys below him may not have
made it out alive." Ms. Ergle said.
"Their whole living room was in flames
when they got out. It was a close call."

Although the Chapel Hill Town Council
last week approved the controversial
special-use permit which allows Brant
Homes of Greensboro to sell The Oaks
Apartments as condominiums, Brant
developers said economics factors may
delay the conversion. !''-
"The Chapel Hill Town Council has
given two years for the process of selling,
but due to market conditions, it, will be
some time," Brant spokesman Mike
Hyman said. ' j
Oaks tenants have received 'notices
saying the conversion company may not
get the financing needed to pay for
modifications this year. j
To many residents, this possible delay
means a continuation of the uncertainty
that has worried them since' Brant
announced conversion plans this summer.

Brenny Thompson, a junior interna

Sunday they were running on a joint
ticket for senior class president and vice
president. - : '
"Brenny and ! have worked as a team
and we workt kll tof '- Mixon
said. "We work "efficiently uutjwe are
independent enough to provide options
for seniors. Senior class president and
vice president need compatability."
Mixon said they were trying to
determine how the class could raise
money and lower the cost of graduation
robes. "We are working on a plan that
would save the students some i money
along the lines of the APOj book
co-op," Mixon said. j

Although Captain Maynor said both
the Foxcroft manager and ja public
safety officer checked the damaged area
and reported no sign of fire a little
before 7 a.m., a second fire onjhe build-
ing's roof was reported at 7:07 a.m. This,
second, more serious, blaze was out by
9:30 a.m., he said. '
The residents of the first two damaged
apartments had moved across, the hall to'
stay with a first-floor neighbor when the
building caught fire again, Ms. Ergle
said. i
"They had a close call the second
time, too," she said. "They had to climb
out the window. It was a rough night."
New apartments for occupants of the
eight damaged apartments, 501-5C3 were
to be available today, Ms. Ergls ssid. .
The causes of both fires are still under,
investigation, and the amount of
damage is unknown. j

"It (the conversion) creates a hardship
particularly for people coming to the
University for limited studies1' said
Roger Cox, a post-doctoral student in
psychology at N.C. Memorial Hospital's
Division for Development and Learning. '
Cox said the change to condominiums
would compound the crunch on rental
housing for UNO students, especially
those with young families, who need the
' extra space The Oaks Apartments provide.
In converting The Oaks, Brand Homes
and the Chapel Hill Planning Board agreed
on a set of tenant-protection guidelines
. Tenants can terminate leases without
penalty by giving written notice; to the
owner 30 days in advance. I
Tenants will have the exclusive right
to purchase their own units on the same
terms offered to the general publicj.

However, Thompson said, they first
want to find out what the senior class
president does. ; . ;; '
"We had to search to see what the
class officers mean," Thompson said.
Thompson said he wanted a constitution
for the senior class. , '.
Mixon said she and Thompson wanted
to improve the interview system, and,
"perhaps increr- Vthe variety of com-,
par- "iit com;;; to interview us!."
"The thing. we want to emphasize is
our teamwork and that we are really
enthusiastic about the ideas we-have,";;,

Student traffic in the area between
Phillips and Memorial halls and the east
entrance of Carroll Hail will be halted
for the next four, to six weeks while
underground chilled water pipes are
being installed.
Edward Short of the UNC Planning
Office has asked that all students stay
but of that area until the pipes are com
pletely laid in.
The pipes, which will carry cold water
for cooling to campus buildings, are part
of a mam trunk line which will eventually
be connected to surrounding buildings.
Those buildings usually generate their
own water for cooling.
However, the installation of the pipes
will be beneficial to the University,
Short said.
'The pipes will be energy efficient,
reduce operations and maintenance
costs and prevent us from having to
replace obsolete materials," he said.
The campuswide project will take
eight to 10 years to complete and is cur
rently in phase two, which started at Dey
Hall and will run to the new art building
near Swain Hail.

This summer, phase one pipes, which
originated at N.C. Memorial Hospital,
were laid around the back side cf the
Bell 'Tower, up past Wilson Library,
ending a i iltc Carolina Union.
Short also said that after the comple
tion cf the project, if any of the older
buildings needed water for cooling or air
conditioning, it would only be necessary
to run pipes to the nearest main line. , v
He also cautioned that during the weeks
the area was cut off, blind students should
not attempt to fbd their way around it
because familiar landmarks may "no
longer be present because of the hples
dug for the pipes.
However, the ramp for handicapped
students into Hahes Hall will remain
open.
Until the construction is completed
students should not attempt to go
between Phillips and Memorial or in
front of Carroll Hall. Instead, they must
walk behind Phillips, Carroll and Gard
ner or behind Memorial and Hanes.
