Michigan took a big step, or make that a bounding leap, toward capturing its first Big Ten title since 1977 yester- day when it downed Illinois, 57-45, at Crisler Arena. THE WIN PUTS the eighth-ranked Woverines, now 9-3 in the conference, (18-3 overall) a half game up on Iowa (8 -2 in the Big Ten, 19-4 overall) and sets the stage for Thursday's showdown with the Hawkeyes in Iowa City. It also dimmed title aspirations for the Illini, (now 6-5 in Big Ten, 18-7 overall) who were league favorites in many pre- season polls. The story of the contest was the second half. After playing a poor first half and trailing at the intermission, 26- 24, Michigan came storming back to dominate the second stanza and out- score the Illini, 33-19. "We were forced to play good basket- ball in the second half and we did," said Michigan head coach Bill Grieder, "and for that, I'm proud of my team." THE WOLVERINES got off to a somewhat shakey start prior to the in- termission shooting only 40.7 percent from the field and missing many key chances. They mostly traded buckets with the Illini before putting together a run that put them up 20-14, with 7:27 left in the half. Illinois followed with a surge of its own, highlighted by backup center Scott Meents' nine points, to take the lead into the locker room. And Frieder was worried. "I was concerned at the half because we looked sluggish," he said. "Yet even though we didn't play well in the first half, we were only two points down, so I think that's what I had to build on at half time.

Do-mestic violence MINSTREL FOLLOWS 'U' PROF: German travels the world with guitar, .top hat reports rise at 'U' By SUSAN GRANT More and more cases of domestic violence against married University students are being reported to Student Legal Services, according to a law student who works in the legal office. The rise in reports is due largely to increased awareness of verbal and physical harassment, law student Ann Parker told a small group at East Quad yesterday. "ALTHOUGH we see lower-income families, we do know that domestic violence affects all classes and races," she said. Parker was one of three speakers in a session on women's legal issues, part of the four-day Women's Weekend Con- ference. The conference ends today with a presentation on men in the women's movement and a speech by Psychology Prof. Elizabeth Douvan. Until a decade ago, police refused to intervene in marriage disputes. "IN A 17TH or 18th century law case where a woman sued her husband for abuse, she lost because it was okay for a husband to keep his wife in line," Parker said. The law at that time allowed a man to beat his wife with a stick no longer than his -thumb- - the so-called "rule of thumb." Student Legal Services will help a victimized woman get a restraining or- der forbidding her husband to beat her. But many women fail to take advantage of the service because they feel com- pelled to save their marriages. "FOR VARIOUS economic, psychological, and social reasons, a woman believes her mission is to redeem the victimizer," said Helen Gallagher,ha local attorney and former intern at Student Legal Services.

As students scurry by, he sits in the Engineering Arch strumming an rcoustic guitar and singing Bob Dylan tunes. His voice resonates a curious Profile blend of Dylan, Luciano Pavarotti; and. the Irish Rovers. When someone drops a bill or a few coins into an upturned top hat, he smiles in a way that is warm yet distant. "With his worn clothes, fuzzy shoulder- length hair, and wide-brimmed hat - a cross between Father Guido Sarducci's and Clint Eastwood's - he looks like a seedy vagrant forced to live on the streets. BUT JOSEF SUMINNEN is not an ordinary street person. Rather he is a traveling entertainer from Heidelberg, Germany. "Suminnen," the surname he gave hiself a few years back, is derived from the German word for "minstrel." Since 1969, the 37-year-old musician has traveled the world playing the guitar, harmonica, violin, dulcimer, and piano. His repertoire includes classical music, hits from the 1960s, and folk songs he has picked up on four con- tinents. Money tossed into Suminnen's top hat allows him to support himself and his mother in Heidelberg, and to pay for plane fare back to Germany at least on- ce every two months. He also owns a house and recording studio equipment in Heidelberg. DURING THE LAST two years, Suminnen has followed the tours of University Music Prof. Ruggiera Ricci, an internationally-recognized violinist. According to Suminnen, Ricci is the only violinist alive who can play the works of Niccolo Paganini, an 18th cen- tury musician reknowned for his dif- ficly compositions. "(Ricci) was my ideal since I was 14," says Suminnen. He first met the professor when he sat in on violin classes Ricci was teaching in Germany two years ago. But Suminnen never in- troduced himself until Ricci saw him strumming his guitar on a street cor- ner. Now a personal friend of Ricci's, Suminnen stays in the professor's home during his visits to Ann Arbor and oc- casionally in the same hotel when he meets up with the violinist on tour. BEFORE HE BEGAN his travels, Suminnen held a steady job as a bookkeeper in a Heidelberg courthouse. The position, he says, was "to live like a slave." So at the age of 21, Suminnen gathered his money and his guitar, and took to the road in search of a lifestyle he could call "meaningful." Careers, A' look ahead.,. February is the month under- classmen start panicking about sum- mer jobs and seniors feverishly step up job interviews. Careers seem to be on everyone's mind. In light of this situation, The Daily this week will feature a five-part series on careers. We will take a hard look at trends in the most popular professions among University studen- ts and job opportunities in a variety of fields. We hope the stories will provide insight in thinking about careers. What follows is a short rundown on the series: *Tuesday: A national study con- ducted by Michigan State University charts hiring prospects and average salaries for various professions and geographical regions that are curren- tly job "hot spots." " Wednesday: Law school advisers and placement officers discuss changes in the legal profession, ad- vantages and disadvantages of dif- ferent law schools, and job oppor- tunities for young law school graduates. * Thursday: Medical school ad- visers and professionals in the field tell how the medical field is changing and what it could mean for medical students and new doctors. * Friday: "What can I do with a degree in liberal arts?" To answer that question The Daily spoke with of- ficials at the University's Office of Career Planning and Placement as well as advisers at national groups on education and the humanities. * Saturday: Business and en- trepeneurialism is becoming more and more popular. Job opportunities for both bachelor's and master's graduates in business administration, as well as extra-curricular activities in the field, are plentiful and varied.

He says he plans to have business cards printed which read: "Happy-go-lucky, free-wheeling, high-flying, singing kind of guy." He has found that lifestyle, he says. "I have developed my skill, and I have met so many people," Suminnen says. Though the master of several in- struments, he claims his most developed musical asset is his voice. HE SPEAKS IN gentle wisps that hint of accents of the dozen foreign languages he knows. His singing voice is as soothing as his speaking voice, and surprisingly wide-ranging. "I was trained by opera singers," he explains. "I was singing, and an opera singer, said 'You have an interesting voice,' and so I had training from them See IN ANN ARBOR, Page 2 TODAY- MSA Pharmacy "But they make a nice wall" said Jen Faigel, MSA News Editor.

"We'll have to study this fur- ther," Liles said. "We've been incorporated since 1954. I was surprised that no one qualified. It's just that it costs $37.50 to qualify and the town's officials don't get paid. It's a constant grind, a real headache."
