1988 Baseball Supplement, pp. 9- 10 Ninety-eight years of editorial freedom Vol. XCVIII, No. 121 Ann Arbor, Michigan - Wednesday, March 30, 1988 Copyright 1988, The Michigan Daily House removes marital rape law By the Associated Press LANSING - The House voted 102-0 yesterday to remove an ex- emption in Michigan law that al- lows men to rape their wives and escape prosecution. Currently, Michigan prosecutors can not bring rape charges against a husband unless the wife is living in a separate home and the couple is legally separated or divorced. The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Shirley Johnson (R-Royal Oak) will now move to the Senate, where it appears to be headed for op- position. "IT'S AN outrageous exemp- tion," Johnson said. "It's something that shouldn't exist. There's no so- cial or justifiable position for con- tinuing to allow that type of an ex- See Rape, Page 2 Dole drops out Of By The Associated Press Republican Sen. Bob Dole quit the presidential race yesterday, three weeks after being buried in George Bush's Super Tuesday landslide, calling himself "bloodied but un- bowed, as the poet says." Dole, who has been without a primary win for more than a month, tipped his hat to Bush. The Kansas senator offered his congratulations to Bush, who beat him in a solid majority of primaries and said, "Keeping the White House Republican, that's the bottom line." With eight percent of the pre- cincts reporting in yesterday's Con- necticut primary, Bush had 71 percent of the GOP vote to Dole's 20 percent and three percent for Bush's nominal chal-lenger, former TV evangelist Pat Robertson.' Reports from 79 percent of the Connecticut precincts showed Du- kakis was gaining 59 pr;rcent of the vote, ending a recent series of poor performances. Jackson, landslide race winner last weekend in Michigan and the man with momentum in the race, had 28 percent. Sen. Albert Gore trailed with eight percent, and Sen. Paul Simon, who ignored the state, was receiving slightly more than 1 percent. Connecticut's primary offered 35 delegates to the Republican National Convention, and 52 on the Dem- ocratic side. Bush was winning 25 to 10 for Dole on the GOP side and Dukakis led for 36 and Jackson 16 among the Democrats. After updating based on final Michigan results and a redistribution of some of Gephardt's delegates, Dukakis held a slim seven-delegate lead over Jackson. Dukakis hoped his win in Con- necticut would be solid enouh to reassure the skeptics after his land- slide loss to Jackson in the Mich- igan caususes last weekend and his third-place finish in the Illinois primary on March 15.

But in 1986, Democrat Seth Hirshorn ousted then-Republican in- cumbent Jim Blow, and became an exception to the rule. Hirshorn, a professor of public administration at the University's Dearborn campus, will seek re-election Monday for another two-year term. If defeated by Republicans, their hopes of regaining control of city council - where they are currently outnumbered seven to four by Democrats - will be bolstered. WITH THAT in mind, Republican Ingrid Sheldon, a longtime resident of Ann Arbor who in the past has run for school boy , will try to pose a "tough challenge" to Hirshorn. arwulf arwulf, one of WCBN's most offbeat DJs, is known for his somewhat unusual outlook on life and society. DJ arwulf arwulf airs profound thoughts on life to listeners Hirshon works to prevent off-campus crime By LARRY ROSENBERG "All work and no play makes Jack a compulsive sociopath prone to sudden acts of brainless violence." These are the words by which Theodore Grenier - better known to the public as arwulf arwulf - lives. "It came out of the sky one night," arwulf said of his unusual name, "it just seemed like the right name at the time.' Truly an original, this beatnik- jazzhead-guru, almost impossible to characterize, describes himself as "a 57 Chevy, creme with red interior." MANY people know arwulf as a DJ at WCBN, the University's student-run, free-form radio station. Arwulf uses his cynicism, intelli- gence, and music as an antedote against societal ills like racism and apathy. He also hosts a jazz show titled "Sunday Best" on WEMU Sunday mornings and every week he sends a -r~~ndf ch..u hP rnli "Thn- arwulf arwulf was recently -pub- lished and is on sale at local stores. Arwulf also currently has acting roles in two Performance Network plays, and works six days a week at Nielsen's flower shop. HE SAID being a florist and DJ is a great combination for him; first he tries to make people happy all day with flowers, and then he tries to do it again later with music. "I like to entertain people," he explained. "My self-imposed job is to give this music to people while they're still on the planet." "Radio is communication, and arwulf is great at communicating on the radio and with people," said Kate Gordon, a Residence College sophomore and WCBN staffer. "He Profile can express what he is thinking and anyone will understand him. Also. of rhythm and blues which stemmed right out of jazz." ARWULF has strong feelings about commercial radio. "I think ra- dio has been really abused and turned into a really tedious thing by a lot of people," he said. He believes radio should be more community oriented, saying that WIQB (an Ann Arbor radio station) is mostly programmed out of Los Angeles like any other See arwulf, Page 3 See Ward 2, Page 5 Candidates face close Srace in 3rd Ward By PETER MOONEY The tug of war between Democrats and Republicans for control of city council may be decided by the victor of next Monday's election in Ann Arbor's 3rd Ward, in which Democrat Liz Brater and Republican
