Wright, The University of Waterloo (UW) is entering its 25th anniversar?r year in 1982, with celebrations to "be â€"launched this Friday, Jan. 8. % There will be two very brief Of particular concdern to the residents in the area, Bowers said, were the vandalism and other "activities provoked by drinking after dark." Alderman Mary Jane Mewhinâ€" ney echoed Bower‘s sentiments. ‘‘We just want to ensure that the ruies of the province are well enforced,"‘ Bowers maintained. "It was our greatest hope that we could just have a ban on drinking,‘"‘ Bowers said. Having it legal to drink on certain occasions and illegal on others presents "a difficult discrimina tion for people to make ... sometimes you can drink and sometimes you can‘t. According to Ken Bowers, spokesman for the resident‘ group, the greatest compromise made by the residents in the recommendations presented to council eoncerned the question of drinking in the park. At the time residents were shocked to learn that the city of Waterioo endorses permits alâ€" lowing sale of beer in pavilions at some tournaments. This, they were informed, is done in order to control drinking in the park. Mayor Marjorie Carroll then claimed that "if we ban drinking during tournaments people would drink in their automobiles ... so that by licensing the event there are some controls." RESIDENTS COMPLAIN The controversy arose last fall immediately after the opening of the complex when one game in a baseball tournament continued until 4 a.m. Apart from noise and lights associated with the faciliâ€" ty, area residents were conâ€" cerned about the drinking that occurred during the tournament. traffic in the area, and drinking on the property, located at Coâ€" lumbia Street and Marsland Drive. Included in the policy adopted by council earlier this week were measures controlling lighting in the park, use of sound amplifiers, Since August of last year, the residents of the Glenridge area which borders on the park and the city‘s community services department have been working to draft regulations to control use of the park‘s $160,000 baseball comâ€" By Melodee Martinuk The controversy has gone on for months. Debate on the matter even went on for more than an hour at Monday‘s‘ city council meeting. But, Waterloo city eouncil finally approved meaâ€" sures regulating the use of Hillâ€" side Park. University to launch 25th celebrations City decides Hillside Park regulations ‘"Every resident has the right to peace and quiet after 11 o‘clock," she concluded. Aiderman Doreen Thomas reâ€" jected this view, arguing that while "the rarks are for the benefit of all people ... 1 don‘t think the residents of Glenridge area are being selfish at all. During discussion of the recâ€" ommendations, Alderman Richâ€" ard Biggs attacked the residents saying that "parks are meant for the use of the public ... it is wrong for the adjacent neighbors to be jealous of the park and guard it as an agricultural area." Also, ‘henceforth all vehicles will be prohibited from the lower area of the park and all roads leading into that area will be On the issue of lighting in the park, which Bowers said has had a ‘‘significant impact on the quality of life in the neighborâ€" hood,‘"‘ council agreed that:lights in the balipark be turned off at 11 p.m., that trees be planted in 1982 to shield residential areas and that shields or deflectors be installed on some light fixtures to reduce the amount of light spillâ€" ing over into residents‘ yards. To reduce noise in the park, only the sound system at the facility may be used. A resident‘s request that signs be posted in the park stating that drinking is prohibited was rejectâ€" ed by council, because according to community services glirector Ken Pflug, ‘"signs are very subâ€" ject to vandalism ... they disapâ€" pear very quickly." However, council generally agreed, the problem of drinking in the park is a provincial matter which the police department should be enforcing and not a matter which the city should be responsible for regulating. Despite objections of the resiâ€" dents, council voted to continue issuing special licenses to sell beer at tournaments but with the proviso that an offâ€"duty police officer be hired to patrol the park area while the concession is park staff say they are not able to enforce regulations. *‘I feel that we have an obligaâ€" tion to enforce all â€"city regulaâ€" tions in all our facilities‘", she continued. ‘"‘We should not shrug our shoulders and say ‘how can we do it.‘ " ‘"I don‘t see the need for alcohol in the park at any time," she said. But, "whether or not we pass it (the recommendation), I get very angrxhel park staff say they a: These include @A +specid) .professional development day on Feb. 12 for Waterioo region teachers; a campus day for Ontario high school ‘students in March; special ceremoniies at the spring convocations in May: a dinner in June honoring the 32 companies that have â€"been with UW in its coâ€"operative education ‘programs ‘since 1957â€"58; <the ‘Hagey, «Pascal and other lectures series: cultural, athletic and Throughout the year there will ‘be various events related to the 25th anniver. lectures series; cultural, athletic and student events at:various times throughout the year; and aour«day open house in the year, and .aourâ€"day .open house in October for the community, alumni and high school students from throughout the province.
