Read the 'sources.list' man page (man sources.list) and look for proxy.
Basically you want to do,
export http_proxy="http://myproxy.myuniv.za:3128/";
apt-get update
You need to determine the hostname and port number of the proxy server, if
authentication is needed then you also need to stick in the proper
credentials. wget and lynx also use this mechanism so if you put that in
your shell profile you'll be ok.
