University _ _ enroiment iIncreases WATER RATES Group proposes pricing change Mayor Marjorie Carâ€" rell says the city will give ‘‘careful consiâ€" deration‘‘ to recomâ€" mendations in a newly published study on how to conserve water supâ€" plies during the sumâ€" mer months. The study, presented by its authors to the Municipal Working Group on Water Conâ€" servation Alternatives last Thursday, sugâ€" Does it seem that buses in Waterloo are more crowded than last year, that the lineups in grocery stores are a bit longer, that Waterâ€" loo streets are generalâ€" ly busier than before? If so, it could be because both the Unâ€" iverstiy of Waterloo (UW) and Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU) report that enrolement this fall has increased since last year. A report prepared by WLU registrar James Wilgar showed that fullâ€"time enroliment toâ€" talled 4,006, up 4.4 per cent from last year. Partâ€"time enrolment at the university inâ€" creased sharply to 3,129, up 12.9 per cent.

If the implementaâ€" tion plan recommendâ€" carried out in Waterâ€" loo, about seven per cent of all customers would pay a 10 per cent or greater increase in their annual water bill, while roughly 80 per cent of water users Total enrolment at WLU stands at 7,135, an increase of 528 stuâ€" dents over last year. The University of Waterloo‘s student population hit a record high this year as well, reaching 21,411 despite the fact that UW adâ€" mission standards have been raised over the past year and enrolment ceilings for many programs have not been increased. Although partâ€"time enrolment at UW dropped slightly from last year to 5,707, in part a result of the summer mail strike which affected UW‘s correspondence proâ€" gram, fullâ€"time enrol}â€" ment rose to 15,704 stuâ€" Each of Conestoga‘s four divisions fared well.

What is the formula for Conestoga‘s continâ€" uing success? Accordâ€" ing to Bonita Russell, supervisor of career services, "faculty and staff are dedicated to a commom goal. Our students are instilled with excellent practiâ€" cal education and good jobâ€"search skills." Russell points out that this year‘s results reflect employers‘ conâ€" tinued confidence in Conestoga graduates. ‘"As a college, we maintain constant, perâ€" sonalized contact with our employers and deâ€" liver a quality product. This is the key to our water Carroll said Friday ‘"but the suggestions the (study group) has made in the past have been very helpful.‘"‘ Past studies have inâ€" cluded recommendaâ€" tions on a summer waâ€" would have a lower tering schedule to cut down on water use. Carroll said council will likely meet with James Robinson, coâ€" author in the report, for a formal presentaâ€" tion before deciding to go along with the recâ€" ommendations. Ben Benninger, anâ€" other member of the study group said Friâ€" day the main principle behind the excess water use charge ‘"is to take the edge off water consumption during peak times in the sumâ€" mer." or people who water their lawns and garâ€" dens frequently, put an additional strain on the water supply, Benâ€" ninger said, and when controls are placed on water consumption ‘‘the regular water user is penalized." Residences classified as ‘‘heavy water users," usually those with swimming pools But an excessâ€"use charge ‘"could make customers more aware of their waterâ€"use and perhaps result in modiâ€" fying their waterâ€"use patterns,‘‘ the report states. Included in the reâ€" port is a survey of 93 residences in the reâ€" increases in water conâ€" sumption during the summer. Results show 45 of the residences have swimming pools while in another 14, owners water their lawns and gardens extensively. A similar survey of 43 nonâ€"residential acâ€" counts shows 13 busiâ€" nesses frequently water their lawns while eight use additional water for cooling sysâ€" tems. dential accounts be charged for excess water consumption similar to the way resiâ€" dences should be (Continued from page 1) shaken as she recalled an incident which ocâ€" curred earlier this school term.

Of the patients who received the Waterloo regional ambulance attendants will treatment and who responded to a questionâ€" be able to do more than just transport injured naire, 98 per cent stated the apparatus was patients. They will now be able to offer relief to easy to use and 91 per cent said they would use individuals in severe pain, and according to it again for severe pain. Ambulance attenâ€" Craig McNaught, president of the local service dants also considered it a worthwhile treatâ€" club, this will give ambulance attendants "a ment. real boost to their morale." Entonox has been used in Britain for the past Beginning this week, ambulance attendants will be treating injured persons with a gas called Entonox. The Kâ€"W Regional Ambulance Service is the only service in Ontario that has received approval to use the substance. ‘"Before, they (ambulance attendants) could just lift and carry," said McNaught. ‘"Now they will be taking a more active part in emergency care," by offering a means to eliminate pain. The program will be sponsored by the Waterloo Jaycees and operated under the direction of Dr. Kent McKinnon, an emerâ€" gency physician at the Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo Hospital. The treatment is already in use in local hospital emergency departments. The need for such a program was brought to the attention of the service club through fellow member, Ron Kraemer, a dispatcher with the local ambulance service. Entonox is composed of 50 per cent nitrous oxide and 50 per cent oxygen. Under the supervision of an ambulance attendant, the gas is administered through a face mask held by the patient and connected to a portable regulator/tank unit. Because the patient administers the gas himsel{, it is impossible for him to receive an overdose. The mask must be sealed to the face. When the patient becomes drowsy his hand drops away, the seal is broken, and the flow of gas is cut off. Other female stuâ€" dents said they have taken precautions to prevent an assault from happening. "I‘m prepared," said Elizabeth Murphy, a first year recreation student. "I did two research projects on rape. I carry a whistle someone. I don‘t take WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDA Y back alleys and always walk on main streets." For engineering stuâ€" dent, Denise Brown, "(student) awareness is one problem .‘ However, Brown also believes the university has a responsibility to students to install addiâ€" tional lighting in poorâ€" lyâ€"lit areas around Entonox has been used in Britain for the past ten years and has recently become widely used in the United States. Dr. McKinnon has been studying the procedure since 1977 and was also responsible for a pilot study of its use in hospital emergency departments. The project will not receive funding from the province. McNaught estimates it will cost the Jaycees approximately $800 per year for gas consumption. The Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo Regional Ambuâ€" lance Service will have three Entonox units in operation. One unit, used during the pilot study, was donated by Canox of Toronto. Two others were donated by Erie Manufacturing campus . Twentyâ€"three fullâ€"time and 16 partâ€"time ambulance attendants have been trained to administer Entonox and Dr. McKinnon said other centres will definitely be watching the local program with interest. _ While the 25â€"member Jaycee club has only committed itself to sponsoring the project for one year, McNaught feels certain that upon reâ€"evaluation members will be sponsoring the project indefinitely. This is the first community project the Jaycees have undertaken which involves medical aid. Other projects include sponsoring the Great Oktoberfest Barre! Race and a children‘s Christmas party in both local hospiâ€" tals. ‘‘They should be spending thousands of dollars on lighting on the campus," Brown said. ‘"There‘s all sorts of dark spots that are "It‘s frightening‘‘ she said.
