He 're going to make Student Government your student government; Student Government should advise and not supervise." Every year campus politicos promise, that this year stu dents will have a chance to get their input in Student Gov ernment and every year students complain that when one of the candidates becomes Student Body President, he retreats to his office, never to be seen by the average stu dent again. This year, Student Body President Scott Norberg has a plan to put his campaign promise into action ... Student Government representatives. Debra Houston, Norberg's executive assistant, has spent the last few weeks organizing a network of students across campus to act as student government representatives. Houston said she planned to have a representative for every floor in every dormitory, a representative for every fraternity and sorority and representatives for off-campus housing with Area Coordinators to be in charge of all the SG representatives in a dorm. The responsibilities of the SG representatives will be to inform the students on important issues, find out how the people on their floor feel about the issues, and act as a resource for any general questions. Today and at the beginning of next week, "SG repre sentatives will be putting up posters so that the students on the floor will know who they are, and go around door-to-door introducing themselves. . Cindy Vogler, the representative for eighth floor Granville South, said she thought the representatives were something that had been needed for a long time. "I was really confused about the structure of it (Student Government) and I think a lot of people are," Vogler said. "Hopefully, this program will help a lot. It's promoting more awareness of Student Government and putting Student Government where it can help you, not just in Suite C."- - The representatives have received "Awareness" OTHMatt Cooper Cindy Voglar with Andrea Carpenter (left) ... helping organize SG representatives forms so that if a student has a complaint or an idea, he can Fill out the form, then the SG representative will turn it in to Suite C.

OWASA decision By MARK SCIIOEN Staff Writer Today's college graduates must make a determined commitment toward lead ership and excellence especially in government, former Congressman Rich ardson Preyer told a sparse crowd gath ered for the tapping ceremony of the Order of the Golden Fleece Wednesday night in Memorial Hall. "We have a new huge elite of college students," he .said. "The graduates of North Carolina are especially honored and have special responsibilities toward leadership and excellence." Preyer, who last month began a one year term as William Neal Reynolds visit ing professor of Public Affairs, delivered the second annual Frank Porter Graham Lecture on Excellence. Preyer, speaking from a prepared text, said the environment in which leaders grow up had changed considerably dur ing the past two decades. Mew construction contracts awarded By MELINDA PLYMALE Staff Writer Nearly $9 million in contracts for construc tion of an addition to the Mason Farm Waste water Treatment Plant was awarded to four companies by the Orange. Water and Sewer Authority board of directors Wednesday. Resolutions awarding the contracts had been discussed at the meeting of the OWASA com mittee at noon on Wednesday, and all were passed unanimously at the 7:30 p.m. board of directors meeting. The contracts awarded and their approximate values are as follows: an $8 million general construction con tract to Dickerson Inc. a $600,000 electrical contract to Bryant Durham Electric Co. an $82,000 wastewater interceptor con tract to Wrenn-Wilson Construction Co. 1 a $98,000 heating, ventilation, air condi tioning and plumbing contract to Condor Mechanical Contractors Inc. The total value of the contracts awarded was approximately 12 percent less than the prelimi nary estimate of their expense prepared by con grade its quality and sanitation standards. In other action, board member Ernie Pat terson moved for adoption of a preliminary OWASA budget for fiscal year 1982, empha sizing the fact that the budget was only pre liminary and could be changed before adop tion in its final form. The board also unanimously passed a reso lution to renew and expand all-risk insurance coverage on the waterline between Hillsborough sultants Moore, Gardner and Associates, Inc. . anc Carrboro. OWASA board member Paul Morris said The policy renewal is being considered singly that the construction planned for the Mason now because it expires on June 1, 1981. Most, Farm plant would increase its capacity from of the other policies carried by OWASA are 5.5 million to 8 million gallons and would up- written for periods ending on Feb. 15. "The leaders from my day believed we could do anything. It was a day of ro .mantic idealism," he said. "Today's leaders have seen two wars which we did not win, the killing of one president, the resignation in disgrace of a second and attempts on the lives of other presi dents. "I strongly believe that you view this as a challenge, not a cause for cynicism," -he said. Preyer praised the ancient Greeks' pursuit of personal and social excellence, saying their example should be imitated. "The Greek way 'was love of life and love of reason. The goal of excellence was sought by individual fulfillment and the challenge of society. The ancient Greeks knew excellence." He said the dictionary definition of excellence was not enough. "It's impossible to define excellence. There are no rules," he said. "Its essen tial ingredients are tenacity and sweat, because excellence is not inherited." The former Congressman urged the imitation of Socrates attitude toward death, saying it was an illustration that "grace under pressure is a goal of 'ex cellence." He also urged college graduates to consider careers in politics, something, which he said was now looked down upon. "To serve in government was considered a high calling, a worthy pursuit," he said. "Free people don't emerge by accident." Preyer, who represented North Caro lina's Sixth Congressional District from 1968 to 1980, served as chairman of the Select Committee on Ethics and the Sub committee on Government Relations and Individual Rights. He was defeated for re-election by Republican "Eugene John ston last November.
