All is well in Camelot condo conversion
By BETH OWNLKY
Staff Wriler
Camelot Apartments in Chapel Hill are in the process of con
verting to condominiums. The condominiums, located at 130 S
Estes Drive, are owned by Camelot Associates. One third or less
of the current tenants are UNC students.
AC. Robbins, who is handling the marketing of the condo
miniums, said that notices have been sent to the tenants and
legal documents concerning the conversion have been recorded.
The conversion was announced two weeks ago. Robbins said
that 95 percent of the condominiums will probably be sold to
current tenants or to investors.
Robbins said a number of retirees lived in: Camelot, and
would probably buy their own units.
Students, most of whom are graduate students, will probably
remain in the condominiums as tenants, however, he said.
Robbins said that the "collegiate-condo" boom may aid in
selling the condominiums to students. By this method, parents
buy the condominium and use the purchase for a tax writeoff
Robbins also said the conversion process, which began five
months ago, would completely renovate the 15-year-old apart
ments. The units are being refurbished and extensive landscaping
is being done, Robbins said. Both current and prospective
tenants are pleased with the renovation process, he said.
Condominium conversion probably will not affect the apart
ments' rental rates, Robbins said.
The rental rate now is $325 per month for new tenants.
Tenants on existing leases pay $310 a month. The condominiums
are currently being sold tor $37,900.
Connie Angel, a partner in Camelot Village, said that the sale
price would probably increase. Several people have already
bought condominiums, Angel said. She said she thought that
many graduate students would buy condominiums.
The apartments' proximity to University Mall and its location
on the bus line are two reasons students will be interested, she
said.
Both Robbins and Angel said reaction from students had
been positive, and the conversion process was goingsmoothly.

O WAS A declares area water shortage over
From staff reports
Local residents had more to be thankful for over the weekend
than turkey and football. The heavy rains that dampened their
Thanksgiving pushed the level of University lake up by 30 inches
and put an end to the water shortage thai nad plagued the area for
three months.
University Lake's water level ise to one-half inch above full
with Thursday's rain, prompting the Orange Water and Sewer
Authority to decide Monday to ask local officials to rescind the
voluntary conservation measures that had been in effect since
Oct. 25.
Pat Davis, OWASA systems management specialist said the
official letters are expected to go out to Chapel Hill, Carrboro
and Orange County officials today.
The action marks an end to a shortage that Davis said might
have been the fourth worst the area had ever suffered.
Voluntary conservation measures were imposed on Aug. 22
and mandatory water restrictions were enacted on Sept. 6 as the
situation worsened.
"This shortage had the potential to be as serious as the ones in
'67, '76 and '77," Davis said. "We were fortunate that the rain
fall patterns changed."
Davis said that low water consumption had aided the rains in
easing the water shortage in recent weeks. A combination of
citizens' conservation efforts and the cooler weather was the
reason tor the low water use, she said, but it was hard to deter
mine which was more responsible.
"Usually, in November and December you see water use
dropping off," Davis said, "but people gradually begin using
less and less water after they become aware of a shortage situa
tion." OWASA customers used 2.838 million gallons on Friday,
3.983 million gallons on Saturday and 3.165 million gallons on
Sunday. OWASA's target consumption level during the shor
tage had been 5.5 million gallons.
Davis said that voluntary measures would not be needed for
the rest of the year but that the agency would continue to urge
residents to use only the water they need. She added that a
future water shortage could be helped by a proposal, made by
OWASA's staff two weeks ago, that would redefine the levels for
the agency's conservation ordinances.
Under the proposal, voluntary measures would go into effect
when the lake dropped to 24 inches below full and mandatory
restrictions imposed at 36 inches below full.
"That doesn't mean we would go to voluntary measures if the
lake-dropped to that level," Davis said. "It just give us the flex
ibility to do that."
OWASA's board of directors are expected to vote on the pro
posal in December.

Forensics suffers money problems
By ANDY HODGES
Staff Writer
Although the results of its matches
aren't as publicized as the scores from
a UNC basketball game, team
member say the UNC forensics team
is just as much a part of the University
as any other organization or athletic
team.
"We really do feel that even though
we are engaged in an intellectual pur
suit rather than athletic, we still repre
sent the University and we try to do
our very best," Joanne Gilbert, co
captain of the Forensics Union's in
dividual, events team, said.
The UNC Forensics Union was
formed about two years ago when the
debate and individual events teams
were combined at the request of stu
dent government, according to
William Balthrop, director of foren
sics at UNC and an assistant professor
in the speech department. He said this
merger was requested in order to com
bine the budget for the teams.
Jeremy Ofseyer, a member of the
debate team, said that even though the
Forensics Union functioned as one en
tity, the debate and individual events
teams were different in the tour
naments in which they participated
and in the format of competition.
Each team competes in several tour
naments during the school year
throughout the eastern United States,
. but few of the tournaments offer com
petition in both debate and individual
events, he said.
In the individual events competi
tion, which includes original speeches,
impromptu speeches and interpreta
tion of literature, several participants
can advance until a winner is selected,
Ofseyer said. The debate competition
is more of a tournament format, with
two-member teams competing against
one another to decide the winner.
Although the teams have been fairly
successful in recent years, their fun
ding, or lack of funding, has caused
some problems, Gilbert said.
"We don't really have a budget,"
she said. "We have to squeeze every
dollar we get from the CGC (Campus
Governing Council)."
Ofseyer said: "Since we are funded
by the CGC, we are subject to the
same pressures and the same standards
as everyone else funded by them." He
said this was a problem because the
CGC was not as sympathetic to the
needs of the Forensics Union since it
had no direct benefit to the University
as a whole. The teams at most other
schools were funded mainly by the ad
ministration and therefore had bigger
budgets, he added.
Balthrop said the UNC teams did
receive some money from the ad
ministration. The speech department
is allotted a certain amount of money
from the Carolina Annual Giving pro
gram, part of which goes to the Foren
sics Union.
Although no definite plans have
been made, both teams have said they
hope to compete in more regional
tournaments next semester, as well as
district .and national tournaments.
Gilbert said the Forensics Union
was "not an elite little group," and
that any interested students were in
vited to attend the meetings in 203
Bingham Hall on Tuesday evenings at
o:ju.

Dorm residents who knock on their
resident assistant's door Wednesday night
may be greeted by an unfamiliar face.
There is no reason for alarm, however,
because the switch is all part of an RA
Area Exchange being conducted by the
Department of University Housing in
conjunction with RA Awareness Day.
According to Cindy Johnson, a Parker
RA involved with RA recruitment, the ex
change will place female RAs in male
dorms for several hours and vice versa.
"For example, we will try to get girls liv
ing in the Cobb-Joyner area to exchange
with guys from Everett or Old West,"
Johnson said.
"The exchange is designed to give peo
ple in dorms a different perspective and
to aid in RA recruitment," she said. RAs
participating in the exchange will answer
questions about the job that residents
might feel uncomfortable asking their
regular resident assistants, Johnson said.
In addition to the RA Area Exchange,
an RA Awareness Day will be held in the
Pit from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday.
In an effort to recruit RAs, RA fact
sheets and photos from the everyday lives
of RAs will be available.
"The activities in the Pit are designed
to attract off-campus students to be RAs,
since they won't be involved in the Area
Exchange," she said.
RA applications for the 1984-85 school
year are currently available from Carr
building and area directors.
