Fee Increase May Discriminate Against Anglos by T o m D u ffy It is n o longer new s th at foreign students com in g to M cG ill next year w ill be paying a higher tu itio n fee. T he new rate w ill be $5800, an am ount w hich represents a thirty-five percent increase over the fee currently paid by foreign students studying in th e pro vin ce. T his increase sh ou ld not com e as m u ch o f a surprise in light o f the fact that it is the third increase since 1978. W hat is new s is th e fact th at Q uebec has decided to raise the tu ition for C anadian students com in g from ou t side the province. F urtherm ore, the governm ent has revealed that it h opes to exem pt fran cop h on es com in g from other provinces from this differential fee. A ccord in g to a com m u n iq u é issued b y the M cG ill P u b lic R elation s O ffice, P rincipal Joh n ston received con firm a tio n o f the new fee p olicy in a letter

from D ep u ty .M inister o f E d u cation , M ichèle F ortin. In her letter, Fortin said that students from ou tsid e o f Q uebec w ill pay a tu itio n fee o f $1000 beginning in the sum m er o f 1985. She also p oin ted ou t that the governm ent h op ed to establish agreem ents w ith the other provinces w hich w ou ld exem pt

fran cop h on es from this differential fee. T his d ecision has p rovok ed som e harsh criticism from o ffic ia ls at M cG ill as w ell as from other interested groups. A llian ce Q uebec has v oiced its o p p o si tio n to any fee increases for foreign or C anadian students. Their feeling is that

th ese increases inhibit the free flo w o f ideas and this d oes n o t co n fo rm with their vision o f Q uebec as a society op en to a m ultiplicity o f p eop le, ideas and languages. W h en co n tacted , D o u g M c C all D irector o f P rogram s for the A llia n ce, said that he w as not aware that the governm ent intended to ex em pt fran cop h on es from the fee in crease. H e added, how ever, that the A llian ce w ou ld be o p p o sed to such a p o licy as it cou ld exacerbate rather th an solve the language problem . V ice-P rincipal o f P lan n in g, D r. Ted Stansbury, added his vo ice to the chorus o f concern a b ou t the new p o licy . H e argued that using province o f origin and language as criteria for determ ining fees “ h old s dangerous im p lica tio n s.” In his view , “ T he m easure threatens to isolate Q uebec as w ell as en d an ger M c G ill’s lo n g stan d in g co n tin u ed on page 2

It’s that tim e o f year again. A fter five lon g m on th s spent fighting the bitter cold w ith full length 10 lb. fur coats and w ith m on th ly pilgrim ages to M ecca, M edina and M iam i. A fter five m on th s o f w iping your n ose after each trip o u t o f d o o rs, S P R IN G IS H E R E . W e can prepare to d on t-shirts, shorts, running sh oes, we can get caught in a rainstorm , get carried aw ay by a sw ollen river or a flash flo o d , and best o f all, after five m on th s o f frozen harm lessness, w e get to step in d og m anure again. A h , w hat bliss. Spring m eans so m an y w on d erfu l things: it m eans spring training and B ock beer; it m eans spring skiing and hence th e chance to ski in short sleeves, in shorts even, and the chance to create all new snow -abrasion designs o n arm s, legs and heads. Spr ing m eans V uarnets sunglasses, lots o f them and n o w they can even be w orn o u t d oors — the standard in d oor-at-n igh t-at-a-frat-p arty-I’m -an-asshole- use o f these m illion -d ollar op tic w onders can be supplem ented by o ld -fa sio n ed daytim e use. Spr ing m eans convertibles and skim py clothes; it m eans flesh , flesh and m ore flesh, flesh that has been hidden and in active since O ctober. W hich brings us to another thing that winter hides and m akes inactive: dogm anure, pet droppings, crappola. N o w you m ight be saying to you rself, “ hey, isn ’t th e reem ergence o f a fiv e m onth back log o f canine slim e a rather unpleasant byproduct o f spring?” H ardly. W h y its o n e o f th e best dam n things ab ou t the season . It m akes w alking an adventure, it tests th e c o o l o f all o f us. I m ean , to go through a w h ole spring and not slide ou t on a ter rier turd, to never on ce have the experience o f greeting a d ate’s fam ily w hile trying m adly to rid your sh oe and their rug o f a gift d on ated by so m e G reat D an e in D ecem b er, is to prove your m an h ood . P assing th e d o g g y -d o o test b o o sts co n fidence; it tells you that you have T h e R ight S tu ff. A n d it is n ot just pet p o o p that m akes spring so w on d erfu l. O h n o . A s w e are all w ell aw are, spring is the season o f love; it is the tim e w hen p assion and horm ones and zippers all exp lod e. It is the tim e o f year w hen ram s sm ash horns and w hen all m am m als and discodroids g o through their m ating dances. A n d that m eans that trips to our n ation al parks take o n e added excitem en t. O n e’s chance o f being m olested by a randy grizzly bear or o f getting w inked at and asked to dance by a love-starved m o o se are, statistically-speaking, higher in spring than at any other tim e o f th e year. (S ee the C anadian W ild life S ociety analysis entitled “ Sex, Squirrels and Springtim e” d o n e in 1978 and subtitled “ R ou gh in g it in the B u sh .” ) H orm on es and dog-crap. T w o o f th e things that m ake spring a great season in deed.

T he traditions surrounding Spring in our literature were n o t created in this co u n try. B o o k s and m agazines picture Spring as a lo v ely tim e o f year w hen flow ers b lo o m , birds chirp, and p eop le dance around th e m ayp ole singing, “ W e can dance if w e w ant t o . . . ” T he cold harsh reality o f Spring, h ow ever, d oes n o t lie w ithin the pages o f The Wind in the Willows or Rebecca o f Sunnybrook Farm.

E ach year, alm ost as if it’s planned, every inch o f snow that has fallen over the course o f the W inter m elts at the sam e tim e, and C anada b ecom es a lan d o f quicksand. Large heaps o f M cN uggets wrappers reveal them selves o n sidew alks that were m ilky grey on ly the w eek b efo re. T he parks b ecom e a sea o f sludge and flo g h y phuup h.

W e cou ld w ell do w ith ou t all o f this Spring n on sen se. T he parts o f the w orld that do n ot see Spring are a lot m ore pleasant than o u t little corner o f the universe every A pril. T he Spanish Sahara has far m ore beaches, and A ntarctica has skiing clear through till June, at least. N igeria, w hich never changes season s, produces better co llege b asketball players, and Brazil parties m uch, m uch harder.

A few days a g o I perceived that th e R olling Stones were o n a w alking concert tour through m y n eigh b orh ood . T his struck m e as being strange, so I dashed ou tsid e to track d o w n th e m usic. R ou n d in g the corner, I n o ticed , to m y great d isappointm ent, that it w as ju st a y o u n g teenager sporting the latest in sophisticated portable stereos, the type referred to by som e in so cio -eco n o m ic term s, as ‘gh etto blasters’. T ottering under th e w eight o f th e m onstrosity perched o n his right sh oulder, he rem inded m e o f a m odern day A tla s. I approached th e T itan w ith care, lest his version o f the skies sh ou ld com e top p lin g to the ground in ruin. H is fa ce bore expressions o f fatigu e and pain; fatigue from the sheer w eight o f his lo a d and pain from the volu m e being pum ped b y the m achine in to his right ear. H e w as a p itifu l sight. W hat kind o f sadist, w hat cruel Z eus, I th o u g h t, cou ld in flict such torture o n o n e so young and frail? A fter m uch yellin g, I got his atten tion and gestured that he low er the v olu m e o f his beast. I then show ered him w ith praise for so n o b ly bearing the w rath o f an ob vio u s lunatic. A quizzical lo o k crossed is face. “ H u h ? ” he replied. T hinkin g that he h ad n ’t heard m e, I repeated m y a d u lation , o n ly m uch louder. H e w as visibly perplexed. “ Y ou screw ed u p, or w h at?” he asked. Sensing a lack o f com m u n ication , I explained, in m ore detail, h ow brave he w as in carrying o u t his punishm ent and em phasized his likeness to the m ythical figure o f A tla s.

continued from page 4 What style and theatrical conven tions are employed in Kanuki theatre? According to the students of Fun damentals, they employ numerous simplistic symbols, such as: Bibles, rosaries, lanterns, and Saskatchewan flax. The major characters must in clude: incestuous siblings, would-be repressed hysterics, Kingston peniten tiary inmates or the most unfortunate o f the above group — the Canadian ac tor! How does one go about promoting Kanuki theatre? Simple, really! I was inform ed th at such prom otional techniques as: word-of-mouth, the spray-painting of beaver tails (with natural substances, of course), and posters in metro stations which must read, So and So Play! Brilliant Master piece! Destined to Become a Canadian Classic: The Toronto Sun, may be employed. If one plans to attend a Kanuki theatre event, please note that accor

McGill Tribune ding to these students, one must dress in white. People with high cheekbones are welcome, as are furry animals who may participate in the event. Payment is in the form of donations, preferably eggs, chickens, or muffins. If anyone has the opportunity to contact Leonard Cohen, I was informed that he may br ing his guitar and will be granted per mission to play “ Suzanne” 378 times consecutively during the event. For clarification much needed, in terms of the real definitions of Kanuki Theatre, it is necessary to turn up in person at the Frank Dawson Adams Auditorium tonight at 6:00 p.m. I am certain that Dr. Reaney will set the record straight. With his remarkable insights into human nature, his unfet tered imagination, and wild sense of humour this McDonald-Currie lecture the first to focus on theatre guarantees to be both thought-provoking and fun!

Kiss without makeup?! Yes, you read right! They’ve had it on for so long (ten years to be precise). Why then did they choose to take it off now?The thing is the band had considered removing it when Creatures o f the Night was released in 1982 but thought it to be the wrong time. They speculated that things would be dif ferent with regards to make-up after their 10th anniversary tour was com pleted. It was their first North American tour in three-and-a-half years. When Lick It Up was com pleted, they decided the time for un masking was right. They felt trapped by their image and didn’t want to be typecast. The makeup was beginning to be too much of a hindrance. Critics never took Kiss seriously because of it, but that didn’t detruct from their popularity. It’s just that part of the reason for Kiss’s loss in popularity was due to those critics and the music establishment who refused to take note of Kiss’s talent. Here’s what co-founder Gene Simmons had to say about it: “ People often asked us what the makeup and the outfits meant. The intention was always to enhance the music, to put the icing on the cake. But those on the outside, those who weren’t fans and didn’t understand, never saw past anything, (the makeup).” There is no doubt in my mind that Kiss is a talented group. With the addi tions of Carr and Vincent they are a

What Happened To KISS ? by Stephen Fraser “ I don’t know” is the answer I hear most often. It’s aj'act that Kiss is not as popular today in North-America as they were in the late seventies. What have they been doing then? Well, first o f all they’ve been through personnel changes: Peter Criss left the band in 1980 to get married and Ace Frehley decided to leave early last year when he got tired of touring. Eric Carr is now their drummer and Vinnie Vincent has taken over the lead guitar slot. They went through changes in musical direc tion and producers until they returned to their hard rock roots in 1982. Last year, they took off their makeup, previously one of their biggest selling points and trademarks.

literal powerhouse on the heavy metal scene. Their latest release, Lick It Up, focuses much attention on song struc tures, songwriting and guitars. This is due to Vincent’s presence. He is an ex cellent song writer and virtuoso guitarist; co-writer on eight of the ten songs on the album. Yet over the years, the band has had to continually prove itself musically to critics. Now that the makeup is gone, critics cannot attack the group solely on its image. The band has been working hard to direct more attention towards their music. The elimination of makeup was done quiet ly and with as little spectacle as possi ble, specifically on their part. The music is all that matters to Kiss. When they toured Europe last fall, they did so without their huge array of special effects and were a big success. Their strategy paid off. Lick It Up is their best selling album since 1979. It recently went platinum, (over one million copies sold), and the band has lengthened its current North-American tour due to strong ticket and album sales in many cities. When Kiss appeared at the Forum on March 13, they played a spectacular set. The crowd loved it! The whole rink area never sat down from the moment they hit the stage. Being there I realized something. Most people attending this concert were loyal fans. Not fa d followers but true fans. I was surprised to see everyone around me singing the lyrics to every song played. At one point, rhythm guitarist Paul Stanley reminded the audience that Kiss “ still remembered its roots” . They knew what it was like to be a fan. They still do. Kiss wanted their fans to talk to them because, “ Kiss wants to know what you have on your mind. Tell us what you like about us, what you’d like to see changed. We’re the best only because you are the best fans in the world and we thank you for that.” Kiss live by these words. They were mobbed by hundreds of fans when they made a special appearance at a record store before the Forum date. Many popular artists shun such close contact (with their admirers) but Kiss is different. They’ve always said it: their fans are the bosses and Kiss will do everything they possibly can to please them.

Tuesday, March 27, 1984

by Dean Foti As the warm weather approaches and a skier’s gold disappears from the slopes, the McGill Ski Team racers can only take out their Vaurnet sunglasses, sit in the sun, and reflect on their fine accomplishments this past season on the QUAA ski circuit. Although the defending championship men’s team was dethroned by Laval, McGill can still lay claim to the men’s individual overall champion, Louis Beauchemin. A McGill woman, Rachel Daoust, also soared to the upper ranks, placing 2nd overall in the season. The last two races on the circuit were dual slaloms, occurring on March 10-11 at Belle Neige. The McGill men’s team was 300 points behind Laval, and it was almost impossible for them to reclaim the championship. However, individual titles and team pride yvere at stake, so they gave it their best shot. Needless to say, McGill won the final race of the season, but still ended up with only 1,367 points compared to Laval’s 1,580. However, John Dingle won a silver medal and Claude Walton a bronze in the Saturday race. Walton had the 3rd fastest time and Dingle the 4th fastest on Sunday. Where was the season champion, Louis Beauchemin,' in all of this? That’s a story of dedica tion in itself. Up to this point in the season (8 races), Louis had obtained 1 gold and 2 silver medals, as well as two 4th-place finishes. Two weeks before Belle Neige, Louis took a very bad fall in the super giant slalom at Mr. Glenn, and was in the hospital for a few days. In order to speed up his recovery, Louis underwent rigorous physiotherapy, as McGill’s chances for the championship and Louis’s chances for the overall title hinged on being fit enough to race at Belle Neige. Although wearing a neck brace and in severe pain as he went over the jumps in the dual slalom, Louis managed to secure an 8th and a 9th place in the final races, good enough for the overall championship by a very small margin. Second place in the men’s QUAA ski circuit went to Laurent Beauchemin, Louis’s brother at Concordia. The margin of victory was so slight that a 0.2 second dif ference in time in the last race would have given Laurent the title. Thus,

Louis’s perserverence paid off to give a fairy-tale finish to the season. Other fine performances on the men’s circuit were given by John Dingle and Claude Walton. John plac ed 4th in the QUAA, having had to miss a few races due to other committ ments. Claude had a very consistent year, as he earned the most points for McGill in the team competition, and ended up 5th overall in the men. Con gratulations to these fine athletes. The other major success story o f the McGill Ski Team ’83-’84 is rookie R achel D ao u st. This first-y e ar physiotherapy student started the season off slowly, a little unsure of her technique. However, she managed to pull herself together, and was the runner-up to the women’s overall in dividual championship. The champion was Marie Couture, a very seasoned and consistent skier from Laval. Rachel finished 9 out of 10 races this season, and placed in the top four in all but one of them. She won one gold medal, 4 silver medals, 1 bronze, and had two 4th-place finishes and one 7th. We’re expecting great things from Rachel in the future. On March 1, 2, and 3, the annual Can-Am competition took place this year at Mt. Gabriel and Mt. St. Sauveur. The competition involved the best universities from Ontario and Quebec, and some of the nearby col leges in the United States. Once again, Rachel Daoust excelled, placing 3rd overall. The McGill men’s team of John Dingle, Claude Walton, Avrum Soicher, Dean Foti, Ian Dalling, Jeff Stevenson, and Charles Garant, led the competition after the first day of slalom, but eventually finished in third place. Top honours were nabbed by the University of Western Ontario. Avrum Soicher, with consistent skiing, placed 10th overall in the men. The McGill Ski Team has had another successful season, and is look ing forward to an even better one next year with some strong leadership and hopefully sound financial backing. Many thanks should be extended to all those who helped out this year, especially co-captains Brent Norton and John Lister, and two very dedicated individuals, Brigitte Martin and Jeff Stevenson.

Practices are still running in all four gyms at the Currie Gymnasium and will continue until Thursday. Among the games of note for the 1984 Ontario Quebec Inter Football Congerence season is the Homecoming Game, Saturday September 22 against Queen’s, the Shaughnessy Cup Game, October 13, at Concordia, and the season at Varsity Stadium in Toronto against the Blues on September 8. And

if McGill goes just one game further in the playoffs than they did last year, the Redmen will play for the Canadian College Bowl, the Vanier Cup, to be held on Saturday November 24, also in Toronto.

T he se ts r a n g e d f r o m t he participation-rather-than-technique spot by the instructional class, to superb performances by Olympic calibre swimmers: Chantal Laviolette and her exciting solo; and Penny and Vicky Vilagos, and their enthralling, binding duet of incredible precision and exquisite choreography. All in all, an interesting and varried
