The drinks will be judged by representatives from the basket ball and football teams. At noon, four students will prepare to run an obstacle course while intoxicated. The students are Student Body President Brian Bailey, Senior Class President Anne Davidson, Student Congress Speaker Rob Friedman .and. Jaye Sitton, co chairwoman of the Campus Y Wom en's Forum. ,". "Each student will drink a different number of beers and then try to make it through the obstacle course on a scooter,"; Kimmelman said. "The event will be supervised by the University police." There will also be games for all students in the Pit. Prizes donated from merchants on Franklin Street will be given away to the winners. Due to fall break, the student government committee has been !et4iimg9 spiking and scoring for cMarity , By STEPHANIE MARSHALL 'Staff Writer UNC students will have an opportunity to exercise and have fun this weekend while supporting a good cause. -Fall Volleyball Smash ,87,w co sponsored by Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity and Henderson Resi dence College, will be held Satur day, Oct. 24, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Connor Beach, in front of Connor Residence Hall. Fifty or 60 teams, each comprised of four to 10 people, will play in the tournament. An entry fee of $20 per team will be charged, and all proceeds will go to the new Ronald McDonald House being con structed in Chapel Hill. The Ronald McDonald house will provide a place for parents to stay while their children are patients at N.C. Memorial Hospital. This will enable the parents who do not live close to the hospital to be near their seriously ill children without incurring additional expenses. Construction on the house has been halted due to lack of funds, according to junior Scott Boatw right of Lambda Chi Alpha. This is the first time such an event has been held, but: more tourna ments will probably be played in the future, Boatwright said. Liz Cass, governor of HRC, is also helping organize the tournament. UI think that this is a very worthy cause," Cass said. "It's something that we can give back to the community. I'm sure that it will take a lot more than we can give, but if a bunch of groups on campus get involved, we can make a big. difference." Applications for the tournament can be picked up at the HRC desk or at the Student Union information desk.

"We scaled many activities down because we don't want to kill every one with the information," Kimmel man said. uWe are not telling people not to drink, but to be responsible when they do." Kimmelman said the committee has received calls from other univer sities interested in the planned activities. When the week , was first being planned, the organizers were approached by both the Department of University Housing and Student Health Services, Kimmelman said. In November, the committee will meet with Chapel Hill community members to begin planning for a spring event. ' ' Despite objectiGini9 Carrboro aldermen approve agreement By SUSAN KAUFFMAN Staff Writer .The Carrboro Board of Aldermen voted unanimously Tuesday to adopt a joint planning agreement among Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Orange County governments, in spite of protests from residents of a local subdivision. Carrboro was the first of the three governments to adopt the agreement. The residents opposing the agree ment are upset that it will allow Carrboro to annex the 51 -acre Fox Meadow subdivision located off of Rogers Road, two miles outside the Chapel Hill town limits. Instead of becoming part of Chapel Hill or remaining part of a rural buffer zone under Orange County jurisdiction, Fox Meadow will offi cially lie within Carrboro's planning jurisdiction. The agreement will permit Carr boro to expand northward, which is important for future town growth because it cannot expand far to the south or the west. Ken Meardon, a representative of the subdivision, said he was disap pointed that city and county planners believed, they lacked a compelling reason to move the jurisdiction line. Residents of the subdivision attended a public hearing last Week to submit a petition requesting that Chapel Hill annex the property.-rather than Carrboro. , "The bottom line is what is more compelling than 100 percent of the residents signing a petition to remain in the rural buffer zone?" Meardon asked. The joint planning committee decided Fox Meadow does not belong in the 38,000-acre rural buffer zone north and south of Chapel Hill and Carrboro : because the lots are smaller than the two-acre minimum size, said Roy -Williford, Carrboro's planning and economic development director. ' : - The committee's resolution delayed annexation of Fox Meadow for at least 10 years in an effort to put the residents' minds at ease; Williford said in an interview Wednesday. Some board members said they disliked the idea of forcing the subdivision residents to become part of a town against their will. Alderman Hilliard Caldwell said his neighbor hood, Bennington Hills, had been involuntarily annexed into Carrboro. "I can assure you if I am still on the board in 10 years, 1 will never vote for an annexation unless there is agreement of the community," Caldwell said. - : Chapel Hill and Orange County will vote on the Fox Meadow sub division agreement in the next three weeks.
