HELPING STUDENTS ”MM Molodao Martinuk Chronicle Staff Still flushed with excitement from last week's leadership contest, local Liberals are gearing up for their own CO' "ttion to select Waterloo riding's candidate in the up ting federal election. Only two individuals are vying for the nomination; Lynn Myers, a 33-year old member of Wilmot Township council and administrator with the Waterloo County Board of Education, and Frank Epp, a University of Waterloo professor who came within l55 votes of winning the 1980 federal election. The winner will be determined at a nomination meeting Wednesday, June 27 at the Waterloo Both Myers and Epp say their volunteers workers are busy at work harnessing support for them both within the party and in the community. - A A _ . _ "cvaiai/'rsed mast of it because it's intra-party, but things have been moving fast and furious," said Myers. "We're doing what we haye tlr dr" _ _ . . . -. During the last two federal elections membership in the Waterloo Liberal association exploded from 150-200 to Loco-1.5m, and riding president Ruby Weber said she expects the same to occur this year. "At the. delegate-selection meeting (in April) for the leadership convention. membership swelled to 300," she said. “New I expect it'U increase to 1.000 or more. But alter that, who knows? 7 ea oft for membership in the association is this evening at 8 pm. - A _ _ A_ -. . Although competing in the nomination race there is one vital thing that Myers and En) agree on - that Saturday's election of John Turner as the new Liberal leader heralds a new beginning tor the party. which will translate Into votes in the upcoming election. "'Nmer will bring us back on course, recognizing that compromise and conciliation have to be the operative words of the Liberal 'tarty,'1sltid Myers. _ The last no years of the Trudeau rule has been a time of continual confrontation between the federal government and the provinces - “with Quebec over the referendum. Alberta over oil, Newfoundland and Its oil," he continued. “Now we've got to swing the other way and use that energy positively - to get lobe for the unemployed." Em) sees the Turner Liberals as a party which will strive to bring government spending under strict control. and he believes the new leader's ties to the hairless community will be an advantage in developing and executing strategies to iietuduinuf's “employ-ed Back to work.

The two candidates also stressed that Tumer‘s election also means the Liberal party will again become a party of the entire nation, not simply of the east. 77 _ _ _ . . "With Turner's connections to the West. going back to his university years in British Columbia, the West will again look favorably on the Liberal party," said Myers. "It's necessary for the good of the party and the country. We have to have a truly national party, and Turner is able to accomplish this." _":Witil-Eis strength in the West, there's no doubt we will win seats in every province, with the possible exception of Alberta," said Epp. If you are a fan of music, and this is your favorite time of the year, you‘ll want to be in Waterloo this weekend for the inaugural Sounds of Summer celebratlon. . . __ _.
