Rubin Wants Middle Name 'Peace Activist'

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Jerry Rubin, the region's indefatigable pacifist and former City Council candidate, went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge the city's refusal to print "peace activist" as his occupation on the ballot.

On Thursday, he filed for a legal name change so that he'll be known legally as Jerry Peace Activist Rubin. A Superior Court hearing on the request is set for Dec. 11, Rubin's 60th birthday.

And if the court says no to "Peace Activist" as a middle name he has others to try:

• Jerry Nut Bar Rubin
• Jerry Spacecake Rubin
• Jerry Attention Deprived Rubin
• Jerry I'm So Glad I Live In Cali Cause This Idiocy Wouldn't Be Tolerated Elsewhere Rubin
