Ed Arbuckle and Don Roughâ€" ley will work with the two univerâ€" sity appointments, Dr. Robin Banks, the UW academic viceâ€" president and Ernie Lucy, the Dean of students. The committee was conceived in a meeting between Carroll and UW President Douglas Wright in which the city presented its opâ€" position to the university decision to cancel the theatre‘s 22â€"year old performing arts program at the end of the spring season. Public urged to stay away from Sunday shopping: BIA The university cited fiscal conâ€" cerns and the need for theatre time and space for its drama students as reasons for the deciâ€" sion. Arbuckle is a managing partner of Coopers and Lybrand and a Waterloo resident. Roughley is the city‘s Chief Administrative Officer and, acâ€" cording to the press release, brings to the committee ‘"a strong administrative background as well as a commitment to Waterâ€" loo cultural development.

It will report in early 1988. Robert Monteith, manager of the UW Creative Arts Program will act as a resource person to the committee. lan Kirkby Chronicle Staff The public will be asked by the Uptown Business Improvement Area members to oppose Sunday shopping "by staying away" from stores which are open on Sunday Dec. 27, said Terry Hollohan, the BIA Chairperson. The request, which will be advertised in local newspapers is a result of a phoneâ€"in survey of Uptown BIA members. The survey shows that area businesses are overwhelmingly opposed to opening on Sunday Dec. 27 and to being open on Sundays in Ontario Solicitor General Joan Smith told the legislature recently that the government will introduce legislation early next year to give municiâ€" palities the power to set Sunday store hours. The province also indicated that stores which open Sunday Dec. 27 will not be prosecuted this year if they remain closed Dec. 25 and 26. Of the 84 businesses who responded to the Uptown survey, only four were in favor of Sunday openings, according to a media release from the Uptown BIA â€" Harbingers, Treat Yourself, Tri Star Funding and Humanities committee appointments announced The committee, which will be * Qur own butter baked special hot sauce * Garlic bread and buttered * Barbecued ribs in our * Squares and cakes * Complete with disposable LICK A CHICK CHMEF JOMANNES CATERING Call today â€" 745â€"3011 WE CATER TCO YOUR SPECIFICATIONS _ All Homemade Hot HORS D‘OEUVRES All varieties to choose from: * Miss l:§gy Putfs * Battered Scalilops Beef Bacon Rolis Chicken FinFers Oriental Balls Swedish Meat Balls Parmesan â€" Bacon Bread Puffs Includes: 2 kinds of dips â€" Minimum order 5 dozen!

However, 12 businessâ€" es opposed to opening on Dec. 27 will be open "due to external forces" such as head office directives, according to the release. Notes the release: "So, there are 63 businesses, or 75 per cent of the total respondents who are definitely not going to open, no matter what external forces are present. These businesses repreâ€" sent 647 employees. The most common reason for this decision is the need for a common rest day ‘ Hollohan, who chairs the BIA is "not surpriseu oy the results. I agree with the majority. We don‘t need a Sunday opening â€" it will affect the quality of Ontario life." Hollohan was supportive of the decision by Waterloo city council last week to inform the provincial government of its opposition to the proposed legislation. Of the 84 businesses who participated in the survey, 59 were retailers and 21 professional and service businesses.
