(dl 0 CD Du Dy LIZ SAYLOR Staff Wnfer After Tuesday's elections, candidates winners and losers tended to agree that limits on campaign expenditures were important but that the size of their expenditures didn't make a difference in the final results. The spending limits were enacted about seven years ago, when too much money was spent in campus elections, said Elections Board Chairman Bruce Lillie. Lillie said he wondered if spending limits were fair, and one Residence Hall Association candidate, John Fanney, also said he had doubts. Fanney spent $ 1 66. 10 on his campaign, S percent over the $160 limit for RHA candidates. Candidates can go 5 percent over the limit, but no more than that. "They should seriously consider raising the limits," Fanney said. "$160 for RHA does not go very far. It's good to have limits, though." The elections laws allow more spend ing for campus-wide positions, such as student body president and The Daily Tar Heel editor. Candidates for those By ROBERT KEEFE Staff Writer Chapel Hill will see an increase in single family homes and a decrease in such multi-home developments as apartments being built in the area, according to one Chapel Hill official. Stephen Sizemore, development coordinator of the Chapel Hill Planning Department, said: "The (town) council has made a 180 degree change in the way they feel about new developments. Recently, the council actions tend to support the development of subdivi sions rather than condos and apartments." This change of attitude has resulted in the postponement of several pro longed developments, he said. The only new apartment construction going on now is Timber Hollow, a 378-unit development approved in June 1985, Sizemore said. There are also several complexes under construction on sites that were approved several years ago, he said. Dan Fritz, president of the Durham Chapel Hill Homebuilders Association, said he agreed with Sizemore's thoughts about the actions of the planning board. "I don't know about the apartments since we don't (build) that many," Fritz said. "But I do know that townhouse construction seemed to have dropped offthey have slowed down quite a bit."

All campaign expenditures must be reported to Lillie, in the form of receipts and written explanations, within 24 hours of an election. Lillie said even someone who spends nothing must write a letter to the elections board reporting $0, "or else you can't assume the office." Ryke Longest, who spent $363.39 on his campaign for student body presi dent, said spending limits were good for "independents" like himself, who had no large organization backing them up. . "If someone exceeds the spending limit, I don't see anything wrong with that," Longest said. "But I don't think it's impossible to run a campaign and stay within the limits. "Far too little attention was spent on forums, far too much on politics. We aren't the real world with smear campaigns. ... I like to think here we can escape that reality. The spending rules are in the spirit of the honor code." Longest said the elections laws should be enforced in the case of T-shirts that endorsed David Brady for student body remained strong despite the dropoff. "Business is still very good," he said. "It's kind of leveled off now it's definitely not on an upswing, but it is still good. As for commercial developments, Sizemore said there were only two on the drawing boards right now: the Europa Center and the much-disputed Rosemary Square. Construction on the 100,000 square foot Europa Center is scheduled to begin sometime within the next two months. Sizemore said he was not sure when construction would start on the Rosemary Square project, but he said it must begin by early June if its permit was to be valid. "As far as I know, the development (Rosemary Square) has been approved, although there are certain conditions that have not yet been approved," he said. According to a report issued by the Town Manager's office to the mayor and town council, new housing starts in Chapel Hill for 1985 were the lowest in three years. "I think the main problem is the economy right now," Sizemore said. There was a 10-year period from about 1971-72 until 198 1-82 in which there was very little development in Chapel Hill. "In 1982, the interest rates went down," Sizemore said. "And there was a construction glut which was basically the result of a pent-up demand. ;ChapeL Hill .has had a housing With A DTH CUPID STUPID IK i illf I IK I'lSI-ll I'llMIH' Cost: $4.00 for all you can write inside the lines of the heart.

"It might be a dangerous precedent. . . . If we say, 'No campaign spending,' that's okay. It's enough of a drain on our academics just to campaign." Lillie said that in some cases, $200 could be better used than $400. "It's really refreshing to see a can didate who makes up one poster and one flyer, puts them up on buildings and goes door-to-door," Lillie said. Donald Tate, who ousted incumbent Anna Critz for the District 15 seat on the Campus Governing Council, spent $7.45. Critz spent close to the $40 limit for CGC candidates. Tate said his door-to-door campaign was what won the election, and Critz agreed. "I got around and talked to people one-on-one," Tate said. "I don't have any qualms about not spending more. My opponent's posters were up the first week we got back from Christmas. People just took them down and forgot about them. Too much publicity can shortage for about 15 years, and (this glut) put a dent in the demand. But it didn't end it." In 1985, the average price of a new home in Chapel Hill was about $76,339, compared to 1984's average price of $81,126. In 1983 the average was about $68,045. According to Sizemore, this drop in home prices is due to a slight increase in supply of single family homes. "Supply (for housing) has always been lower than demand in Chapel Hill," he said. "But lately the supply has been particularly high for single family housing. That supply will con tinue to rise, given the new regulations on subdivisions." The development of new subdivisions will cause a "spreading out" of the Chapel Hill population into adjacent areas, Sizemore said. "There isn't enough land in Chapel Hill to meet the demand," he said.

"Some people have $500 to spend. Some have $10," Critz said. "I dont think a person should be penalized because they can't afford (to run a campaign). The spending limit gives the people who don't have the extra money a fair race but gives those with a lot of money a limit. I think $40 is about fine." Mark Pavao spent close to his limit of $250 in running for Carolina Athletic Association president, despite the fact that no one ran against him. "When I planned the campaign, I wasn't unopposed," Pavao said. "After it began, I didnt want to give the impression I didnt really care. If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it right." Pavao said creativity was a plus in a campaign. "I think if you're creative, shop around, get good prices, you can have gimmicky things like I did with posters and buttons. In that case, it's certainly all right to go to your limit." of Orange County. "Other than that, there is just very little developable land in Chapel Hill. There never has been that much." Because of this need for land, Size more said there would probably be an increased demand for space in sur rounding areas in the near future. "I suspect that there will be much more pressure (for land), especially in Carrboro but also in the Orange and Durham County area as well growth will accelerate," he said. According to Fritz, growth in Chapel Hill will continue as long as the people will let it. "The Chapel Hill (Town Council) seems like it wants to get into this anti growth thing right now," he said. "Everyone seems to have this vision of Chapel Hill as being some small village," Fritz continued. "I think that if someone were to get into their car and drive around town, they will see that this village aspect is gone. pee.

Fanney said his support for Jones was a "personal" endorsement. Td like for my people to make up their mind on what they perceive . . he said. Fanney, who was one of three candidates for RHA president, did not qualify for the runoff between Jones and H.F. Watts, which will be held next Tuesday. Jones said he was glad to have Fanney's endorsement, and he expected it his campaign Heels Leake, who finished with 1 1 rebounds and a team-high 24 points, was vital to the UNC rally. "Pam Leake is such a great competitor," N.C. State coach Kay Yow said. "She certainly is one of the best perimeter players IVe seen."

Watts could not be reached for comment. The endorsement decision was difficult to make, Fanney said. "Both candidates are qualified," he said. "I based my decision on what I heard in the forums. I thought the way . . . (Jones) presented himself in the forums was impressive." Fanney said he also based his choice on advice from co-workers in RHA and friends who had followed the race closely. Jones said he and Fanney had some of the same ideas but different approaches. "The differences in our two platforms are not significantly different," Jones said. from page 1 UNC SI, N.C.
