    The on-again, off-again, on-again W.O.W. Hall concert by Los Angeles-based "Thrash
Rock" band the Circle Jerks is off-again — and that's definite.
The reasons weren't clear, according to Rob Wald man of Northwest Concerts. He called
them "unmitigated circumstances" and less than forward actions by the Circle Jerks.
Husker Du, the second band, was willing to play the concert for free and twice as long.
However, Waldman decided to cancel the concert. Refunds for advance price tickets are
available at place of purchase or W.O.W. Hall Tuesday night.
Pastor eats words
perched on roof
HEYWORTH, III. (AP) - A
35-year-old preacher ate his din
ner, if not his words, atop his
75-foot-tall church Sunday, fulfill
ing a promise made to his con
gregation more than a year ago.
Concerned about what he felt
was lackluster attendance at the
small church, the Rev. Bill Tabb
pledged during his first service
more than a year ago that he
would eat his main Sunday meal
on the steep roof if 75 people
showed up at one of his services.
Only 11 people were in the
pews of the Church of God when
he made the promise, and Tabb
forgot about the tongue-in-cheek
offer.
But when 77 people showed up
at his Oct. 9 service in this central
Illinois town, Tabb was reminded
of the vow.
About a half-hour after Sunday's
service, Tabb stepped through an
attic window onto the church
roof. As 75 church members
cheered below, Tabb walked up a
mild grade to the overhang of the
roof's top level, took a few steps
up a makeshift ladder, and then
crept like a cat burglar up the
roof's steep grade.
He reached the pinnacle, where
a small white table and straight
back chair rested securely on a
wooden platform.
He was followed by congrega
tion member Steve Isaacson, who
performed the duties of waiter.
Tabb finished his lofty repast in
a leisurely 12 minutes and climbed
backdown to cheers.

PEACE Special Work
CORPS ^or Special People
a
Peace Corps volunteers are
people pretty much like you. Peo
ple with commitment and skills who
have assessed their lives and decided
they want to be of service to others
in a troubled world.
The problems our volunteers
deal with overseas aren't new. Such
as the cycldof poverty that traps one
generation after another because
they’re too busy holding on to get
ahead. The debilitating effects of
malnutrition, disease, and inade
quate shelter. Education and skills
that are lacking, and the means to
get them too.
Your college training qualifies
you to handle more of these prob
lems than you might think. Such as
teaching nutrition and health prac
tices; designing and building bridges
and irrigation systems; working on
reforestation and fisheries pro
