u Liberal
by Les Rose Chevron election reporter
U of W students threw their support behind Ed Good, the Liberal who took the Waterloo North riding. Poll results from Renison College were Liberal 63, PC 55 and NDP 47. I spent some time last weekend trying to decide who would win locally and provincially. First, I examined the personalities of the leaders of the three provincial parties, I found agreat similarity between the three men. All were dynamic, more or less middleaged, and highly respected by all party members. The three local candidates were also well-matched for experience and abilities. When it came to party policy, what the Conservatives lacked in new left-of-the-right policies they made up for in a record of a&=

When Good’s victory was announced the crowd of 40 at his headquarters gave a happy but uninspired cheer. Good% response reminded me of Stanfiel#s-sincere but very unemotional. I saw T.ed Isley after the results were announced. He seemed quite pleased. He had done almost as well as Don MacPherson and both men were only 1200 votes behind the winner. Isley felt that with more time and more experienced supporters, he would have done much better, The results indicate that many people are dissatisfied with the present government, he said. MacPherson explained the defeat by saying that many people must feel that the Conservative majority of the last election was too great. The election is over and the Conservatives are back in full strentgh.

SalI alwich The quality of food at the campaign headquarters reflected the vote in Waterloo North. The Liberals had numerous coffee sandwiches--ahem--good and donuts. The NDP offered stale donuts, bad coffee and platitudes. The Conservativesofferednothing.

IV0 Vietidcs The K-W Committee to End the War in Vietnam will notbeallowed to voice its opinions over a loudspeaker on the Kitchener city-hall steps tomorrow. It has been granted permission, however, to have a parade along King Street--provided they do not use bands or floats. Alderman Earle Weichel suggested at a Kitchener council meeting Monday that the committee be permitted to use the city hall steps following the parade. Alderman John Young said the group should be told it could use city-hall square for such a meeting, but not the city-hall steps.

Alderman Wagner said following the debate the city should have some place like London’s Hyde Park for such protest meetings.
