Woman identifies boxer as attacker United Press International TOPEKA, Kan. — A major proponent of a bill to change Kansas rape laws to include rape within a marriage says she is sur prised the measure passed the Legislature in only one session. “I think it’s a very progressive move for the state and for women,” Rep. Wanda Fuller, R- Wichita, said Tuesday. “Many times ideas of this magnitude take two to three sessions.” Under a bill sent to the gov ernor Tuesday, Kansas rape laws would change from giving immunity to husbands to mak ing all acts of rape a felony. If the bill is signed by Gov. John Carlin, Kansas would join 10 states and the District of Col umbia which make no allo wances for a rapist who is mar ried to the victim. Other states which treat rape within a marriage the same as outside of a marriage are Cali fornia, Florida, Georgia, Mas sachusetts, Mississippi, Nebras ka, New Jersey, Oregon, Virgi nia and Minnesota, Fuller said. Kansas currently is one of 1 1 states providing spouses a gen eral exemption from prosecu tion of rape charges. Others are Alabama, Connecticutt, Illinois, Montana, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia. House members voted 66-55 agreeing with the Senate to re move the immunity spouses re ceive from prosecution. When the bill first passed the House, it specified two crimes — rape with a person who is i spouse and aggravated] within a marriage. " 1 lie marriage cep il( >esii't give win a license any t hing to your spouse tin couldn’t do without thatct cate,” Rep. Robert Frevl Liberal, argued Tuesday. Rep.

SUPERIOR AUTO SERVICEl Auto Repair at it’s Best 111 Royal, Bryan Just one mile north of Campus 846-5344 WAYNE PRITCHARD DAN WASKM Haas Hall presents United Press International PATERSON — A rape victim identified boxer Tony Ayala Jr. as the man who attacked her on New Year’s Day, according to testimony at Ayala’s assault trial. Totowa patrolman Carl Cifaldi told Passaic County Su perior Court on Tuesday that he stopped the shoeless and shirt less junior welterweight in the parking lot outside the victim’s apartment shortly after the 5:30 a.m. attack in West Paterson. The officer told the nine- woman, seven-man jury that he led Ayala back to the victim’s apartment, and she looked at him through a sliding glass win dow before identifying him. Ayala, 19, is accused of rap ing the 30-year-old woman and threatening her roommate, 29, with a knife. He was indicted Jan. 10 on charges of breaking into the apartment — across the street from his own — making terroristic threats, threatening to kill, aggravated sexual assault and unlawful possession of a weapon. Cifaldi, who helped in the in vestigation and arrest, said he was told by the women that their attacker was a drunken Hispanic male, and he stopped Ayala be cause he appeared to fit the de scription. ige mm |esc THIS WEEK’S SPECIALS Defense laywer William De Marco had previously told the jurors that he will prove that the victim actually knew Ayala as her neighbor and agreed to have sex with him. He claimed that had Ayala planned an assault or rape, he never would have allowed both women to get such a good look at him.

United Press International TUCSON, Ariz. — Dozens of investors mainly from Dallas and Phoenix were bilked out of almost $150,000 by a scheme to remove valuable silver from waste ore discarded near the frontier town of Tombstone, a prosecutor said. Gerald S. Frank, an assistant U.S. attorney, presented open ing arguments Tuesday in the fraud case against John Durkin and Henry Farabee, promoters of Silver Bonanza Mine. A U.S. District Court jury was told the mining venture was doomed before it began because the pair invested in the business only a small part of the proceeds they received from the sale of unregistered securities by mail. Tombstone currently has commercially successful mining enterprises. Frank told jurors, however, that Durkin, a pros pector, and Farabee, a construc tion contractor, only planned a get-rich-quick scheme. Defense attorney James M. Elliott did not deny that inves tors lost money but said the two promoters only were guilty of enthusiasm, optimism and a lack of vision. There was no intent to defraud, he said. Wis. votes down nuclear dump site United Press International MILWAUKEE — Federal officials have looked longingly at Wisconsin as a site for nuclear waste dumps, but, in the nation’s first statewide referendum on the subject, Wisconsin voters told the government they do not want the dumps. Voters Tuesday resounding ly — by a margin of more than half a million votes — told Fed eral Energy officials the state should not be a repository for high-level, radioactive wastes. Cassandra Dixon, a spokes man for the Lake Superior Re gion Radioactive Waste Project, said the vote shows that Wiscon sin is not interested in becoming a nuclear guinea pig for the sake of keeping the nuclear industry in business.
