Senior class pledge campaign needs callers By GUY LUCAS Staff Writer The senior class will kick off its campaign to raise pledges for the class gift next week if more volunteers are found to make phone calls. Thomas Kepley, chairman of the senior class gift committee, said all the preparations had been made and all that remained was to get more volunteers to help with calling class members to ask for pledges. He said the campaign had only one-third of the callers it needed. "The stage has been set for everything," he said. "It depends on the seniors. It will work if they want it to." The pledge campaign, which will run Sundays through Wednesdays from Feb. 3 to 13, will attempt to raise $150,000. Each senior will be asked to donate $160, which will be collected in installments over five years to ease the burden on seniors first working years. The gift will include a sculpture and about 100 memorial markers for buildings and important sites on campus. If successful, it will 'be the largest class gift to a public university in the nation. The class of '84's gift, a proposed $120,000 visitors' center, now holds that distinction. Sally Pistole, senior class vice president, said, "We want seniors to get excited about it so they feel like they're part of it." The markers and sculpture were picked after the controversy that followed the original decision to have only the markers as the class gift. Pistole said, "It more or less joined the factions and brought the class together." Kepley agreed: "(The marshals) got a lot of positive feedback on that." He said a letter had been sent to Michael Jordan "since he is essentially a member of our class, asking him to pledge to the gift." Letters have been sent to newspapers and local radio and television stations, asking them to help publicize the campaign, he said. The greatest opportunity for publicity will be the Today show on NBC. Kepley said a letter and T shirts had been sent to the show for Willard Scott, Jane Pauley, Bryant Gumbel and Gene Shallit. He said there will be announcements and updates on the progress of the campaign at halftime of basketball games, and Woody Durham might also read something aHont on the air. According to Pistole, table tents will be put on the tables in Lenoir Hall, The Commons and local restaurants, including Spanky's, Four Corners and the Ramshead Rathskeller. People who help with the phones will find it a fun experience, she said. "We're going to make it fun to call people, but it's going to be organized fun," she said. People interested in making calls should contact Bill Massey of the Carolina Fund during the day at 962-2336 or Scott Wierman, senior class president, in the evenings at 929-8581. Calling sessions are Feb. 3, 6-8:30 p.m. and 8-10:30 p.m.; Feb. 4-6, 4-6:30 p.m. and 9:30-11:30 p.m.; Feb. 10, 6-8:30 p.m. and 8-10:30 p.m.; and Feb. 11-13, 4-6:30 p.m. and 9:30-11:30 p.m. Seniors who pledge will receive a one-year membership to the General Alumni Association and a key ring with UNC's address and a number on it so lost keys can be returned to their owners. They will also receive a free copy of "UNC-Chapel Hill: A Magic Gulf Stream on the Life of North Carolina," by Albert Coats, UNC professor emeritus and a member of the class of 1918. Torgan stresses more graduate student representation rTV.'J v U l niriK yuu wuru lu ue u cuuriseiui : By DAWN BRAZELL Staff Writer Brad Torgan, a first year graduate student in city and regional planning, has announced his candidacy for Graduate and Professional Student Federation President. Torgan said he decided to run because of his general interest in campus affairs. "Graduate students tend to be pretty invisible on campus, but yet they represent one-third of the student population," he said. "Graduate posi tions tend to get lost in the shuffle." Effective representation is one prim ary goal, Torgan said. "Someone needs to be there a pair of ears and eyes to make sure graduate students' needs are heard." To meet these graduate needs, Tor gan said he planned to oppose the man datory meal plan, favor longer library hours and investi gate the possibility of a day care center Brad Torgan for students' children. Access to computer facilities also needs to be examined, he said. Campus Elections "A lot of what GPSF should tackle in the coming year should be based on the survey," he said, referring to a 53 question survey taken of 3 percent of the graduate and professional students. "I don't just want to look at cam puswide issues," he said. "I want to look at departmental problems and devise solutions." Torgan said he wanted to target people who would be affected by GPSF policies and let them know the issues involved. Torgan also said he wanted to work for greater cooperation between the GPSF and the Campus Governing Council. "The more unity you have between student factions, the stronger front youH be able to present," he said. Torgan served as a legislator three years at Duke University and executive director of the American Association of University Students. Now he works on the University Task Force on Alcohol Abuse and plays on the UNC men's rugby team. By RANDY FARMER Staff Writer Bored with your books and mono tone professors? Is it leadership, fun and meaningful relationships that you want? Freshman Camp may be the answer. The camp, which is in session two and three days before Freshman Orientation in August, needs devoted students as counselors. Applications are now available in the Campus Y building and the deadline for submitting them is Feb. 1. Renee Gaca and John Kennedy are the 1985 co-directors of the camp. Gaca, a junior chemistry major from Sewick ley, Pa., said the camp was a good way for freshmen to make friends while smoothing the transition from high school to college. Rob Ehinger, a junior chemistry major from Greenville, N.C., has worked on the program for the past two WW summers. He said one advantage was the small size of the camp. There is a ratio of one counselor to three campers. "This allows for more personal atten tion to freshmen that may be neglected in Freshman Orientation," he said. In addition, Ehinger said there were benefits for the counselors as well knowing that they could give something they've learned to a small group. Moreover, counselors share in the activities such as retreats and pizza parties. Gaca stressed the importance of "the counselors knowing each other to create a warm, exciting atmosphere for the campers." However, you cannot be one of the thirty counselors unless you apply. The only requirement for applying is that you have an interest in all different types of people. So sign up for your interview today. Reaching out cheaply New long-distance companies offer alternative to traditional services By LAURIE WILLIS and KATHY NANNEY Staff Writers For UNC students wishing to make a break from Southern Bell and Amer ican Telephone & Telegraph Co., alternative long-distance telephone services offering similar services at reduced prices are available. Southern Net Inc.'s Touch and Save long-distance service guarantees custo mers a minimum savings of 15 percent and can potentially trim 35 percent from their long-distance calls, according to Mary Wentzel, marketing manager for the firm. She said the service applied to long-distance calls made anywhere in the continental United States. "One thing we have that a lot of other services don't have is the guaranteed Water systms-iaeglectedixvigh.baeteria4evels By MARK POWELL Staff Writer A number of public water systems around the state last summer failed to notify the public of excessive levels of coliform bacteria contamination, according to a report released by the N.C. Department of Human Resources. State records showed that owners of 14 public water systems did not notify customers or the media of excessive bacteria contamination during August 1984, while owners of 63 systems failed to test their water at all for the presence of coliform bacteria during that time. The presence of coliform bacteria, which is found in the soil and the intestinal tracts of warm-blooded animals and is not harmful in itself, often indicates the presence of more dangerous bacteria in the water supply. Failure to notify the public about coliform bacteria could place operators of water systems in violation of the N.C. Drinking Water Act. "Where there is coliform bacteria, there is a high risk of pathological bacteria," said Doug Terry, superintendent of water supply and treatment for Orange County Water and Sewer Authority. When coliform bacteria is found, water system owners are required to notify customers in writing and provide the state with a copy of the notice within 90 days. They are also required to notify the news media within 14 days. "A lot of smaller systems don't have the manpower or the money to provide adequate protection against coliform bacteria." Terry said. "If we found it, we would increase chlorine dosage and try to find out where it's coming from." OWASA has not had any problem with the bacteria, he said. Wake County had seven water systems failing to test their systems for coliform. One Orange County system, Country Squire Mobile Home Park, found high bacteria levels but failed to notify the public. Charles Rundgren, head of the Water Supply branch of the Department of Human Resources, said the system owners could be fined up to $5,000 a day if they did not lower the bacteria levels in their water. "Some smaller companies are chronic violators, but we can't do anything to them because we can't find out who their real owners are," Rundgren said. Many small public water systems are owned by bigger companies and often change ownership, he said. minimum of 15 percent," Wentzel said. There is no monthly service charge and no hook-up charge, according to Wentzel. "If a student doesn't make any long distance calls one month, he isn't billed by us," she said. Wentzel said students needed to have their phones installed by Southern Bell and then contact a Southern Net representative. Any Touch-Tone phone in the Chapel Hill area can be hooked up to the service, Wentzel said. She said the service could be used from Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. According to Wentzel, a customer whose phone is in Chapel Hill could call from Durham to Raleigh and pay no additional charge for billing the call to his home phone. She said that feature differed from AT&T's third-party . billing, fegs,,, . ,tM .Mtya--What a student would do is dial the Raleigh access number, his personal identification number, and the area . code and number he was calling, and he'd be billed as if he called from his phone in Chapel Hill," she said. Wentzel said Southern Net also offered a Travel-Saver service equival ent to the AT&T Calling Card. "The Travel-Saver service call is more expensive than a regular call through Touch and Save but yet not quite as expensive as the AT&T Calling Card," she said. Sprint, another long distance com pany, will begin servicing the Chapel Hill area by next semester, a Sprint spokesman said. Customers will not be required to sign a contract, and there will be no hook-up and installation fee, according to the company's public relations spokesman. Sprint requires customers to spend a minimum of five dollars each month, he said. Users will save at least 20 percent off their AT&T bills during daytime rates, 30 percent at night and 40 percent on weekends, the spokesman said. He said there was also a frequent caller program with higher discounts for increased usage. The spokesman said the implemen tation of "equal access" would let customers have their telephone com panies switch directly to any alternate long-distance carrier. He said that would simplify the dialing process, eliminating dialing codes currently necessary for connection between AT&T and another carrier. AT&T is responding to increased competition with new programs and lower rates of its own, said Joyce Deaton, N.C. public relations manager for AT&T. , t"We're trying to lower purjpiices as.. quickly as we can," Deaton said. "We can see further rate decreases in long distance services." AT&T has several new programs to attract customers, Deaton said. Reach Out America is a program allowing customers to call anywhere in the United States during evenings and nights for a flat fee of $10 per hour. Reach Out North Carolina allows customers an hour of long-distance calls anywhere in the state for $9.75. Another program, Opportunity Cal ling, gives coupons to buy products and services from other companies to customers spending at least $15 per month on long-distance service, accord ing to Deaton. "With these coupons, you can buy everything from blue jeans to cruises," extraN f things 1 V to do in Spring 85 yoga, aerobics, dancercize, weaving, clogging, psychicspiritual development, tai-chi, knitting' Carolina Union Weekly Features Special Interest Classes Registration Jan. 28-30 2-4 p.m. in Union Rm. 213 Classes begin week of Feb. 4 More info, at Union Desk SEPAMA TE QU.
