VOL.15 NO. n THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1986 NO REST FOR WICCA Witch can't take holy days off by Robert Cooley

A college employee who says he is a witch has filed a complaint with the Ontario Human Rigiiis Cuiiimission charging Humber College with religious discrimination. Last Thursday Charles Arnold, who works in the Equine Centre, lodged a formal complaint because the college refused to give him his religious holidays off with pay.

Receipts and questions

Humber's student council is playing a game with students at Humber, a game of hide and seek with rules made up by the council. SAC's Finance committee voted 5-3 last week against making public the contents of receipts and invoices explaininjg where president Bart Lobraico and vice-president Glenn 2^mbal have been spending money and in what amounts. The issue was pressed when It was revealed that $300 in restaurant receipts claimed by Lobraico and Zembal while at a Mav conference in Kitchener were at variance with records kept by tne Waterloo Inn restaurant. As well, about $700 from the SAC president's special funds has been spent on beer alone. After Lobraico insisted the brew was bought as "a gesture of goodwill" and that he was "not spending money outrageously," tne fog surrounding his receipts seemed to be lifting when Zembal boldly proclaimed: "We have nothing to SJlt^lCS& hide." Yet Zembal was one of the five who voted against the proposed open file policy, even though earlier that day in a taped interview he said Coven should have no problem getting access to the books READERS WRITE if it followed procedure and asked the Finance committee for approval. Suddenly, his professed openness is seen to be mere grandstanding. After the meeting, he said he vetoed the motion to Decadance reviewer under fire Marking method open the books because doing so would take up too much time and SAC had to get on with other business. And that is troubling. Has SAC not got the time to be open about its books? Walking over to a Re Jerry Pelley's review of the The show had a budget of $0.

Page 8 Thursday, November 20, 1986 Coven ENTERTAINMENT Pub Crawl Nash and FM electrify audience

by Robert Bacchin and Dale Nolan

The drought is over in Caps! After two months of theme pubs, a band finally made its way on stage. How do you spell relief? FM and Nash the Slash. The Nov. 14 concert saw a capacity crowd come out in support of the bandaged singer and his mates. Before the end of the first vibrating note the audience rushed to the stage as the band played an electronic cover of the Yardbird's classic. The Shape of Things to Come. Martin Deller, the headbanded drummer, quickly established himself as the band's driving force by constantly providing a strong, steady beat that backed up Nash's eerie-sounding mandolin and Cameron Hawkins' wailing synthesizer chords. As FM and Nash the Slash progressed through their first set they seemed to rejuvenate the cafeteria-like quality of Caps. The mummified Nash strummed on an electric violin that sent haunted chords over the audience in the instrumental intro to the song Fazers on Stun. The rest of the set was comprised of songs from the group's latest album, Contest, and a great cover of Stcpf)enwoli's Born to be Wild. FM and Nash the Slash are currently finishing up a Canadian tour in support of the Contest album that prbduced the Top 15 hit. Just Like You. The tour originated out West and will end in Prince Edward Island by December. Hawkins said the band likes touring and enjoys the contact with their supporters. "We've been touring for 14 months straight, all across Canada. We enjoy it and have done more touring in the past year than ever before. We still believe the full punch of the music is to get out there and play live." Before going on for their second set, Hawkins revealed the band is scheduled to go into the studio to record a new album. "It'll be late winter or early spring and will hopefully be ready by June," he said. The second set saw a faithful version of the Beatles Eleanor Rigby played in an up-beat rhythm that got the crowd jamming. The band then slid into favourite songs such as 1984 and Holdfast PHOTO BY DALE NOLAN that kept the audience clapping until the final encore, which was LM f O* ^ • I climaxed by an impressive version of the Who's Teenage Waste- MOiy btraaavanUS! —Rock's ageless mummy put on a PHOTO BV DALE NOLAN land. stirring show last week and >^hipped the audience into a frenzy.
