"I reâ€"watched the council meeting at Roger‘s (cable television) the next day and he (Pflug) did say Pat Roberts. He obviously didn‘t have the right name," said Woolstencroft on Tuesday. The revelation lends support to a theory first raise J by Ald. Lynne Woolstencroftâ€"and later by concerned Beechwood residentsâ€"that the UW Columbia Icefield location was never seriously considered by the project team. Woolstencroft first raised the issue at the April 13 meeting of council, the night aldermen voiced supportâ€"â€" in principleâ€"for the Beechwood site. At that time she asked community services director Ken Pflug about the negotiations. She was told the committee met with university officials for approximately one hour. Pat Roberts (not Robertson) was named as the person who handled the majority of the UW negotiations. At Tuesday‘s meeting of city council, Ald. Bob Henry, a member of the task force, also named Pat Roberts as the UW contact. A Pat Roberts is employed at the university in its payroll department. Mark Bryson Chronicle Staff University of Waterloo officials have never negotiated with the City of Waterloo project team responsible for selecting the Beechwood West Community Park as the site of a new $2.2 million recreation complex, the viceâ€"president of university services said Tuesday. Asked to disclose details of talks between the project team and UW, Pat Robertson immediately indicated he couldn‘t answer the question. *"*What talks?" he asked. ‘"‘There was never any negotiations.

A survey of 79 homeowners in Beechwood South found only one respondent wanting a community arena located on the site. In Upper Beechwood, where 78 per cent of the homeowners were polied, 90 per cent were opposed to the location. Of 30 homeowners surveyed in Beechwood West 2, 28 were opposed an two undecided. Of 243 surveys handed out in Beechwood West, no one has come out in support of the location. ‘"If you build an arena, you‘re meeting the needs of one age group and one sex," said Peter Halpin of the Westvale neighborhood association. Woolstencroft says she sympathizes with the residents and believes they have expressed themselves in an unselfish way. The majority of speakers said they would support alternate uses on site such as an indoor swimming pool, track and field facility, baseball diamond or library, but not an arena. Only one delegation stood in support of the Beechwood site, an ‘"avid hockey player‘" from Lincoln Village. Upwards of 90 residents voiced their disapproval of the Beechwood site at an informal public meeting last Wednesday night at the Marsland Centre. One after one, the sometimesâ€"boisterous residents appealed to the project team to either locate the arena on the UW site or provide alternate facilities on the Beechwood site, located on the west side of Fischerâ€"Hallman Road, just south of the intersection of Craigleith and Roxton Drive. Claiming to be an ‘outside observer", Raymond Bauer of 31 Union St. E., encouraged Waterloo to renew (or start) negotiations with UW. ‘‘Without prejudice to anyone, if it is determined taxpayers and residents of Beechwood don‘t want an arena, then why force it upon them?" he said. the project team met once with UW staff and then later with UW senior officials.

The eightâ€" member sexual assault committee has suggested the path be widened, straightâ€" ened and receive extra lighting. Seven incidents have occurred on the footpath over the past three years, according to campus security statistics, including four sexual assaults in 1985. An emergency communications sysâ€" tem, modifications to the physical deâ€" sign of the University of Waterloo campus, and a volunteer support netâ€" work to aid victims of sexual assault have been recommended by a Federaâ€" tion of Students‘ committee, established last year in response to anxiety on the part of women students concerning their safety of campus.

The project team listed the university policy as a negative when ruling out the site. ‘‘We‘re certainly not going to drop the charges on our lot, but we can certainly talk about what they want to do with theirs," said Robertson. As for the poor visibility of the Columbia site, Woolstencroft says all it would take to cure that would be "a few road signs." If the project team decides to do so, Robertson says UW is more than willing to listen and participate in a twoâ€"sided discussion. When constructed, the west side facility is scheduled to take over events from Waterloo Arena until a new facility can be built. During the wait for Waterloo Arena to be rebuiltâ€"no earlier than 1991â€"the west side facility will be fitted for 1,300 spectators. It will revert to 300 seats when the new major facility is built in the downtown area. Regarding any further talks with UW, Pflug admits last Wednesday‘s reaction could lead to a resumptionâ€"if in fact any have occurred yet. "At this point I‘m not saying we will recommend the same (Beechwood) site again and I‘m not saying we won‘t," said PfMug. *‘They didn‘t use the notâ€"inâ€"my backyard argument as other neighborhoods have. I agree that a cityâ€"wide facility is inappropriate in a neighborhood environâ€" ment," she said. A final decision will be made June 22. The committee has designed a broâ€" chure outlining safety precautions to deter potentional attacks and has listed an emergency telephone number for victims of and witnesses to sexual assaults. The brochure will be included in kits for incoming first year students and will be available across the campus. Over the past three years there have been 10 reports of "peeping Toms" in women‘s washrooms, showers and at the married student apartments. There were also three reported assaults. _ The committee will also appeal to the university‘s Human Resources Council for better lighting across the campus.
