Silent Sam, a Civil War mon
ument, should be returning to his .
vigil at the University's Franklin
Street entrance before October
10, University Day, according to
the company that refurbished
him.
Silent Sam was erected in 1913
by the N.C. Division of the
United Daughters of the Confe
deracy in tribute to UNC students
who fought for the South in the
Civil War. As much as 40 percent
of the student body served in the
war. Canadian sculptor John
Wilson created the statue for
$7,500.
Sam was taken to Cincinnati,
Ohio, April 23 for an $8,200
restoration after 73 years of
weather, tannic acid from nearby
trees and, more recently, car
emissions and vandals' paint.
Mercene Karkadoulias, whose
husband Eleftherios is working
on Sam, said the project was on
schedule, and there have been no
unexpected problems or setbacks,
she said. "I think you're all going
to be very, very pleased," she said.

Dean of Students Frederic
Schroeder said he wished Sam
could have been here for fresh
men and their parents when
students began returning to
campus.
"I'm sure it's a void in their
lives, and their expectations are
being dealt with incompletely," he
said. "But shortly Silent Sam will
return and everyone can walk in
front of him."
When Sam returns, he will have
his original bronze color instead
of the green tint he had acquired.
The University has asked that
Sam and the plaques that accom
pany the statue be returned to
their pedestal between Oct. 6 and
Oct. 9.
After the refurbished Sam has
taken his stand, Karkadoulias will
restore the Caldwell Monument,
an obelisk that marks the grave
of former UNC President Joseph
Caldwell, his wife and his stepson.
That restoration will cost $2,300.
Karkadoulias is well known for
his restoration work, which has
included the statues in Union
Square in Raleigh and several
monuments at Gettysburg, Penn.

Work to correct settling of the
Walter Royal Davis Library should
be done in a few days, although the
first floor bathrooms damaged by
the settling may not be repaired for
three or four weeks, according to
Herbert Paul, Department of Phys
ical Plant director.
Wednesday, an area of the main
concourse was roped off and holes,
made by workers to investigate the
settling, could be seen in the floor.
University employees worked to fill
the holes.
The settling of the building, first
noticed in the summer of 1985, is

Silent Sam embarks
caused by a void between the soil
and the concrete slab on which the
east part of the library rests, Paul
said.
"We should be finished with the
entire area by September," Paul said.
He said the total cost of construction
won't be known until all work is
completed, but he estimated that it
would be in the $100,000 range.
Larry Alford, assistant university
librarian for Business and Finance,
said workmen began drilling holes
in the library floor August 6, the day
after exams for the second term of
the summer session ended.
"They tried to do the repairs
during the intercession between
summer and fall terms," he said.
"They even drilled holes at night so
as not to be disruptive.
"The disruptive work we hope to
have done by Saturday," Alford said.

Although UNC's food service's
summer transition from ARA to the
Marriott Corporation has not been
trouble-free, new Food Service
Director William W. Dux said he
was pleased with the transition and
optimistic about the future.
"It's the type of operation I like
to run," Dux said."I think there's a
lot of potential here."

"It's not something that's going to
collapse and hurt anybody," he said.
Holes were drilled through the
floor so grouting, a mixture of
cement and water, could be pumped
under the floor slab to fill the void,
he said. The grouting will harden and
form into a type of cement, he said.
"The floor slab won't be raised,"
he said.
Paul said the bathrooms will take
longer to repair because new parti
tions must be installed and damaged
tile needs to be pulled off and
replaced. Also, he said most of the
floor in the area has been removed.
"We dug out some material and
we have to put it back," he said. "We
actually had to dig up the floor.
(And) well essentially have new
bathrooms when we're finished," he
said.
Both Marriott employees and '
customers said they are satisfied with 1
the new food service so far, although
some say prices are high.
Kathleen Clark, who has worked
in the dining service on campus for
20 years, said: "We've got to really
wait until we get into the swing of
things. Right now the management
is better." Clark also said she thought
the prices were ridiculously high, but
they would change.

Most of the $1,500 allocated to
the summer Student Congress will
return to the general surplus fund
because few organizations requested
funding, said Steve Griffin (Dist. 5),
speaker for the summer congress.
"We'd been given $1,500 to spend,
and I doubt we spent even $300,"
Griffin said in an interview Tuesday.
He said the surplus would be used
this fall by the full congress for
subsequent appropriations to
organizations.
Griffin and representative Mark
Gunter (Dist. 10) were the two
members that made up the summer
congress. Griffin said the summer
congress is informal and is made up
of any congress member who is
enrolled at the University in summer
school, or resides in the area and
wishes to serve.
During the first session of summer
school, the congress allocated about
$75 to the Judicial Branch of student
government to help fund a brochure
concerning the laws against frater
nity hazing during rush.
The congress also approved an
expenditure for office equipment
from the Student Legal Services
budget. Griffin said the money had
already been allocated to the Student
Legal Services in last semesters
budgethearings, but the approval of
congress is a "formality."
About $150 was spent for an ice
cream party in the Pit for students
was the biggest expenditure for the
congress during the second summer
session.
Also during second session, the
congress tried to send student
government representatives to the
national convention of the United
States Student Association (USSA).
"We just couldn't get anyone to go,"
Griffin said.
The USSA is a group of student
governments from colleges and
universities across the country, he
said. The congress joined the organ
ization during last semester's budget
hearings.
Now that the fall semester has
started, speaker Jaye Sitton (Dist. 1 1)
said, the congress should be very
active. .
Marriott conducted price checks
of entrees at local restaurants and
tried set their prices at comparably.
The Marriott Corporation, based
near Washington, D.C., owns sev
eral restaurant chains, including
Bob's Big Boy and Roy Rogers,
numerous hotels, a cruise ship line
and has food service contracts with
airlines, hospitals, schools and other
institutions.
Julio Penasoto, a sophomore
from Kinston majoring in pharmacy,
said, "The service seems to be much
better, but the prices still seem to
be exhorbitant."
Dux said students should consider
the quality and size of the food they
were getting when analyzing prices.
Residence Hall Association Pres
ident Ray Jones, who was active in
calling for the removal of ARA, said
he thought Marriott's food was
better, and said he hoped the prices
would decrease once Marriott
became more established on campus.
Thomas A. Shetley, director of
Auxiliary Services and a member of
the Food Service Advisory Commit
tee, said he thought that as the
semester continued the rules of the
market place would take over and
Marriott would adjust their prices
accordingly.
Shetley said Marriott was selected
to operate the food service based on
their bid, their operations at other
universities and their management.
"It appears we made a wise choice
at getting Marriott here," he
said."We have a degree of profes
sionalism we hadnH expected." Dux
said Marriott had brought a perman
ent 13-member management staff to
the University.
Stephanie Craig, a two-year food
service employee in the Commons,
said the management was much
better than before so far. "The
managers smile and talk to you,"

"Student Congress has finished its
most important duty the budget
process and now we look forward
to devoting more time to other
issues," Sitton said in an interview
Tuesday.
"When campaigning, people have
ideas about things they want to do,
and once elected they are faced with
the budget process," she said. "Now
they can direct their energy to other
projects."
Sitton said she and Rob Fried
man, Rules and Judiciary Commit
tee chairperson (Dist. 16), are
working on revising the election
laws.
Administrative and technical
changes are needed to help the
elections process flow better, she
said. "We're not interested in chang
ing, the process itself, but several
minor details. We want to make the
election laws up-to-date and attempt
to change ambiguous clauses,"
Sitton said.
Another concern of the congress
is keeping in touch with how students
feel about the new food service on
campus. "We're anxious to monitor
how students respond to the new
food service because we worked very
hard to get a better company than
ARA," she said.
Sitton said the congress would like
to see improved relations with the
University's administration and
students. "We are planning to meet
with Chancellor Fordham, Dean
Boulton and other administrators as
a group,"'she said.
In addition, Sitton said that the
congress wants to get more students
involved in student government.
She said a Student Awareness
Day, sponsored by student govern
ment is tentatively scheduled for
Sept. 2. "Student Congress represen
tatives would be there to answer
questions about how to get involved
or about how the congress works,"
she said.
Sitton said the congress tentatively
plans to meet on Sept. 3 and begin
considering several capital expendi
ture requests made by organizations
last semester.
"Since the budget process is over,
we can act on these requests."
Craig said. "You can talk to them
up front"
Craig also said that unlike ARA,
Marriott encouraged the staff to talk
to the customers and get to know
them.
"The biggest thing we need to do
is talk to the students," Dux said.
"We want a relationship between the
people who work here and the
students, the customers."
He said he would be meeting with
the RHA Board of Governors fre
quently to get feedback from stu
dents, and also said he would be
talking to customers as they used the
dining facilities.
Dux said that Marriott was eager
to hire students part-time and said
he was holding several positions for
student employees, helping Marriott
establish good rapport with the
student body, Dux said.
Menus will change to meet student
preferences and would be planned
on a four-week cycle to provide some
variety. The menus will also be
reviewed by registered dieticians, he
said.
The company retained ARA's
former food service workers, and
after getting some of ARA's records
has also re-established seniority, he
said.
"We're treating the ARA
employees as Marriott Corporation
employees," Dux said.
In Lenoir Cafeteria, Marriott
currently has a cafeteria with
Mexican and Italian specialty lines
and the Cutting Board, which is a
deli line. The Commons area houses
Cookies and Cream, which sells
gourmet all-natural cookies, HB
Quicks, similar to Roy Rogers
Restaurants, Sweet Sensations,
which offers ice cream and other
desserts, and Broadway Pizza.
Chase Hall offers a cafeteria with
specialty grill and deli lines. Marriott
also operates convenience stores in
the South Campus dormitories.
