basketball teams have performed in cramped ovens otherwise known as Woollen Gym and Carmichael Auditorium for decades Within the next five years however the era of by birthright only season tickets and overnight student ticket lines probably will end The state university Board of Governors has approved genera! plans for constructing a new arena on South Campus that would provide about 18000 seats for basketball twice as many as in Carmichael Auditorium and substantially more than any other on campus gym in the Atlantic Coast Conference The Advisory Budget Commission and the General Assembly also must authorize the project but it is un likely that either body will reject the UNC Chapel Hill request North Carolina is not seeking any state ap propriations for the $21 million complex which would contain a main basketball area a practice basketball court swimming pool wrestling facilities dressing rooms and offices The estimated price tag includes funds for planning and parking have no reason to assume the legislature would not approve said elix Joyner university system vice president for finance The request is rather mundane UNC Chapel Hill wants the right to finance the arena as a self liquidating project either through gifts grants or revenue bonds Once cleared by the university system bureaucracy such requests are usually granted routinely If legislators could approve a controversial expensive veterinary school backed by the Board of Governors they probably would not challenge a non appropriation Athletic Director Bill Cobey said he wants to finance the arena through donations alone a heady proposition that if successful would enable the athletic depart ment to fill its treasury instead of paying off bond in debtedness with basketball profits going to need some major donations in excess of a million dol Cobey said are some people who have that Vice President Joyner said wryly not talking about casual The primary site under discussion is a tract of land the university owns on Manning Drive between NC Memorial Hospital and the NC 54 bypass behind Ehrmghaus Dormitory Whether Chapel Hill en vironmentalists would oppose the project is uncertain of course but the possibility exists A separate plan to build a parking lot across Mann ing Drive behind Hinton James Dormitory has gained annrnval from Chanpl Hill nlannors and is awaiting consideration by city aidermen Cobey would prefer to build soon as possible Ac tually I don't think it would be possible to start con struction for a couple of years or more We certainly
