1 ft , ( J Parking lot to be closed By STEPHANIE MARSHALL Staff Writer Part of the Bell Tower parking lot will be closed at the end of this month as the University begins construction to expand its chilled water system. About 190 parking spaces will be used to store equipment and install underground pipes for the expanded water system, said Mary Fox, UNC parking control coor dinator. But she could not estimate how long the construction would last. ."Sometimes these kinds of projects drag on for several years," Fox said. The lot, which extends from the Student Health Service to Mitchell Hall, is used by faculty and staff members and evening college students, she said. James Mergner, associate direc tor of utility operations at the Physical Plant, said the Universi ty's chilled water system serves buildings on both North and South campuses. The expansion is necessary because several new buildings are being constructed, Mergner said, and they will require more water than the system now can provide. The new pipes and cooling towers that will be built will also tie the University's water system into North Carolina Memorial Hospital's, he said. This will allow the University's facility to serve as , an emergency backup system for the hospital. Fox said some faculty members have complained about the decrease in available parking spaces, but the planned construc tion hasn't caused any major problems. The University sold fewer Bell Tower parking permits this semes ter to prepare for the construction, she said. Pep rally scheduled before game By GUINEVERE ROSS Staff Writer Students will have a chance to show their support for the UNC football team and get psyched to "beat Dook" at a pep rally sponsored by Carolina Ferer in the Pit at 10:45 a.rn.Saturday. , : The Marching Tar Heels the cheerleaders and the High Kicking Heels will perform at the rally. Fever members will offer free face-painting and sell "Taking a Dookie" T-shirts. Suzanne Saldi, publicity and fund raising director for Carolina Fever Commuiee, said the group will also work w ith the band to present a mock Duke homecoming during half-time. Mockf Duke homecoming queen candidates collected contributions in the Pit this week, and the candidate who collected the most money will be crowned Duke's queen, Saldi said. Fever committee Co-chairman Robert Temple said the money collected by the candidates will go to the Ronald McDonald House, and proceeds from T-shirt sales will go to charity and will help fund com mittee activities during basketball season. Suzanne Lowe, Fever co-president, said she feels the group has been successful in its first semester at Carolina. "I believe it's evident that there was a necessity for the group because of the support the players get and because we now have 600 members," she said. Lowe said she hopes fans will continue to be as spirited as they were at the Clemson game. "The Clemson game was a won derful boost," she said. "The Duke game is important because we don't want to lose the victory bell, and it is also the last game for a lot of seniors."

John Gardner, UNC transporta tion planner, said he saw some problems with the proposal, although he called it a good initiative. The main ' problem Sis that the figures in the proposal are a little low, he said. I think that more costs need to be looked at in this proposal,' Gardner said. "It's an interesting proposal, but I feel we could do things - a lot cheaper by modifying the present system." Brian Bailey, student body presi dent, said the proposal would solve a number of problems of the present bus system. Besides providing a free service, Bailey said the proposal would open up more jobs for students and provide charter bus service. "A lot of students are putting money into the present system, Bailey said.
