     Politic reports that the 1 
     
     Association of Santa Clauses 
     
     in Quebec has officially 
     
     reversed its policy of 
     
     banning gays from the job 
     
     of being Kris Kringle in 
     
     local department stores 
     
     during the Christmas 
     
     season. \ \ , 
     
    

    
     The policy change came 
     
     after last-year's anti— 
     
     gay bias triggered a 
     
     discrimination complaint 
     
     to Quebec's human rights 
     
     commission. Now Santa ‘ 
     
     Claus Pssociaticn president 
     
     Henri Paquet is whistling a 
     
     different tune. 
     
    

    
     Paquet admitted that sudi 
     
     a ban 'contributes to the 
     
     myth that homosexuals are 
     
     child molesters. " 
     
    

    
     "During the next holiday," 
     
     says Paquet, "any person of 
     
     good morals, notwithstanding 
     
     their sexual orientation, 
     
     can be considered to be a 
     
     Santa Claus."‘

     WINNIPEG (CUP) -- As Manit- 
     
     Cba stucbnts face rising 
     
     prices, astronomical rents 
     
     and climbing tuition fees, 
     
     refuge may soon be found 
     
    

    
     at the welfare office. 
     
    

    
     Manitoba undergraduates 
     
     are allowed to receive 
     
     social assistance under 
     
     provincial regulations. 
     
     However student aid 
     
     regulations stipulate that 
     
     students can only apply 
     
     for welfare after. they have 
     
     borrowed the maximum 
     
     amount available from 
     
     student loans and still 
     
     find the amount insufficient. 
     
    

    
     Non the University of 
     
     Manitoba Students Union 
     
     '(UIVBU) has gone to court 
     
     to try to change the 
     
     situation, arguing that 
     
     the act and regulations are 
     
     contradictory. 
     
    

    
     UNBU president Debra 
     
     Slade says students, unlike 
     
     any other eligible group, 
     
     are in effect forced to 
     
    
   
   
    
     NEWS 
     
    
   
   
    
     go into debt before they 
     
     can get financial aid 
     
     through welfare. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Slade said low income 
     
     students are particularly 
     
     hard hit because they do 
     
     not want to go heavily into 
     
     debt but are willing to 
     
     accept welfare in order 
     
     to continue their studies. 
     
    

    
     Currently all students 
     
     are required to apply for 
     
     student aid and either be 
     
     rejected or borrow the 
     
     maximum allowable amount 
     
     before they are considered 
     
     for social assistance. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Slade said ifLUIVEU's 
     
     legal challenge succeeds 
     
     the government would 
     
     probably appeal the 
     
     decision. She said UNSU 
     
     realizes the Manitoba 
     
     Act could be changed 
     
     by the government to 
     
     exclude undergraduate 
     
    
   
   
    
     eligibility for social 
     
     assistance but feels the 
     
     case is worth pursuing.

     When cutting the pieces to make a pair 
     
    

    
     of pants, straight lines are easier than 
     
    

    
     curves. They also use less fabric. Some v 
     
     larger firms cut'pants that way. With tens 
     
    

    
     of millions ol pairs a year; those savings
