Thousands of volunteers will sponsor runners, collect donations or organize runs - continuing Terry Fox's quest to defeat the disease which last year took the lives of 40.860 Canadians. “I guess it's true in this case that experience is the best teacher. and the experience John has gained with the Appeal over the years indicates to us he is more than capable of taking over the larger responsibilities," said Macintosh.

The new executive director also praised the enthusiasm of David Uffelman. 1984 campaign chair- man, whose efforts have helped alleviate the crunch as the Pace- setter campaign continues to wind down towards the official opening kick-off Monday, Sept. 26. “Five years ago when we changed from the spring to fall campaign, we had to spend a great deal of time getting that ingrained into the public. We spent a good four or five years building on the success of the fall campaign," said Thompson. "Now we've changed our stra- tegies somewhat. We're trying to educate the public on the needs of the agencies and how Federated Appeal can best serve those needs. We want the public to know that they are not supporting Federated Appeal when they contribute. but the actual agencies themselves. "We're very much an inter- mediary, acting on behalf of our agencies," added Macintosh. "One of our big roles is helping them (agencies) get their story across." Hotels.

' Despite the belief of city engineers that it would be better held elsewhere, Waterloo city council Monday approved the proposal for the dance which will take place in the Waterloo Town Square north parking lot from 7 pm. until midnight. Last year as part of the city's 125th and UW's 25th anniversary celebrations a similar dance, which drew between 3,000-3,500 people, was held on King Street in front of the mall. Because of difficulties experienced by Kitchener Transit and bus users due to the street closure, the dance location was shifted this year to the parking lot. .. ., -e,, - __ Ii... IIII‘IZn r-------n -____ In a report to council, city engineer Jim Willis pointed to problems occurring last fall, includ- ing numerous liquor infractions, insufficient security, inadequate sanitary facilities and damage to the parking lot from tent pegs used in erection of a large beer tent, as reasons for the suggestion to move the dance to a new site in the future. "it may be too late to do anything about the location or otherwise for 1983, however, it is suggested that this type of event does not belong entirely on a paved parking lot. It is the opinion of the staff that this event if warranted should be held closer to the universities or even on campus," concluded Willis in the report. To protect the city, council required dance organizers to take out a minimum of $1 million in liability insurance, as well as provide a $1.000 cash deposit to cover city costs of barricading the dance area and any necessary post-dance clean up and repairs. Organizer Chuck Williams of the UW Student Federation told council additional security will be provided this year, including eight off-duty police officers and a large student security force. Other improvements include provision of 20 portable washroom units, a fully-mobile power supply, a self-contained concession and additional fencing.

Mayor Marjorie Carroll defended the student street dance saying "this sort of thing, early in the academic year, especially for the first-year students, is a good thing," She reminded council that one of the major arguments for holding the dance last year was to "get the students familiar with the city, the services and shops we have to offer uptown .rt There are some benefits we should not overlook in having students coming into the heart of the city."
