Students May Qualify To Vote in November
Many students at the University of Kansas who are 21 years of age will be eligible to register and vote in Lawrence in the Nov. 3 general election.
Kansas law states that for a person to be eligible to vote he must be: a citizen of the United States, 21 years of age by the day of the next general election, a resident of Kansas for six months and of the ward and precinct for 30 days and registered to vote, unless one lives outside the city limits.
Registration is done in the City Clerk's office at the City Hall or by a deputy registrar. The City Clerk's Office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For ten days before the registration books
close, the office is open until 9 p.m. This year registration will close Oct.13.
It is necessary for a person to register again if the voter changes his name or if he failed to vote in the last statewide general election.
If a voter is to be outside the county on election day or is physically incapacitated, voting may be done by absentee ballot. The voter should apply to the County Clerk, by affidavit, for a ballot and must return it to the clerks office by Monday noon before election day.
Anyone having questions concerning his qualifications for voting should call the City Clerk's office (843-4600) for information.

Growing Baha'i Religious Sect Emphasizes 'Unity in Religion'
TOWNSEND SAID the purpose of the club was to present the teachings of the faith to University people. The club is under the guidance of the local spiritual community.
The community is made up of those people who belong to the Baha'i religion. The club, which has weekly meetings, is open to the public.
The Baha'i religion was started in the 1950's when its prophet, Baha Ullah, founded it in the
Baha'i is the name of a religion and also the name of a club here on campus that is spreading the word of the Baha'i prophets.
Baha'i members claim that their religion is the newest and the only universal religion in the world.
The Baha'i Club at the University of Kansas is much different from the Baha'i community of Lawrence, according to Steve Townsend, secretary of the club
The employee, Jeff Bangert, is supervisor of applications programming at the computation center. His wife is a professional artist and instructor in art and film at Avila College, Kansas City, Mo.
The Bangerts won first prize with three graphic landscapes they produced on the General Electric computer in the computation center.
Baha'i affirm the essential truths of all religions of the world and their founders including prophets such as Mohammed, Buddha and Jesus Christ.
The central teaching of the Baha'i religion is one of unity. To deny the validity of other religions and their founders, according to Townsend, would be a disunifying factor.
Near East. Edward Ruhe, adviser of the Baha'i Club, said Baha'is agreed that God was the supreme being and that He had sent not one prophet, as most religions teach, but many.
Landscape Wins Computer Prize
"GOD RECAST OTHER religions," said Townsend, "with new social teachings necessary for the unification of the whole planet." The result was Baha'i.
There are approximately 26 Baha'is in Lawrence, and 400 in Kansas, more than half of whom have become Baha'i in the past year, he said.
Townsend, who became a Baha'i in March of this year, said that the Baha'i community in Lawrence was started 10 or 12 years ago by two women. These women are now working at the Universal House of Justice, which is the international center for the Baha'i religion in Haifa, Israel.
THE SAME PATTERN is followed on the national and international levels, though the intertional leaders are elected only every five years.
Organization of the Baha'i community in Lawrence does not depend upon priests, ministers or churches. Each year nine members are elected by secret ballot, without campaigning, for the organizational positions.
These people are in no way considered superior to any other human.
There are 92 spiritual assemblies in the United States and other assemblies are spread out in over 300 countries in the world.
TOWNSEND SAID some of the most successful assemblies were located in the southern United States and were interracial groups.
There is one house of worship for the Baha'is in the United States. It is located in Wilmette, Ill. Others are located in Africa, Australia and Germany, and one is being built in Panama.
