Shanahan said that her office would work until early Friday night to get the instructions out to county clerks and election commissioners across the state. They in turn will distribute the information to the election boards at the polling places. All election officials should have the information by today, she said.
No problems should arise if the instructions reach the election officers and the ballot box.

Women Married After Registration Must Present ID at Polling Places
Women who have married after the voter registration deadline of Oct. 17, must present appropriate identification at the polling place to prove their marriage. Elwill Shanahan, Kansas secretary of state, said Friday afternoon.
The instructions from the Shawnee District Court as a result of a case, Gallup vs. the State of Kansas, said that a marriage license or an affidavit stating the names of both the man and the woman's name before and after the birth be sufficient identification. Shanahan said.
The percentage of marriages in the 18 to 21-year age group is high, Shanahan said, and his wife could have been greater with this age group than with other age groups. For this reason, Shanahan said, she asked Atty. Huang to clarify the clarification of the voter registration law.
Delbert Matthia, Douglas County clerk who was named as a defendant in the case of Gallphe vs. the state of Kansas, said, "The police straightened up a gray area in the law."

Shanahan said that television and newspaper coverage would help to inform the public.

registration law that states a person must re-register upon change of their name by marriage, divorce or legal proceedings was unconstitutional.
WICHTHA—A court injunction will be filed today in the Sedgwick County District Court, asking that all Kansas voting polls be kept open until 8 p.m. on election day, Mike Manning, Democratic candidate for secretary of state, said Sunday.
"There is always the old argument that not every person who registered will vote. But in 1968, 91 per cent of the persons registered to vote actually did vote." "And indications are that even more will turn out at the polls this year."
It has been shown that it takes the average reader 29 minutes to vote if he votes for every office and on every issue on the ballot, said Manning.
"We can show that it is physically impossible for all persons who are registered to vote to get through the polls by 7 p.m." said Manning.

"This campaign has sunk to a new low in the number of falsehoods that have been uttered by an administration in power," McGovern said.
NEW YORK (AP) - Sen. George McGhee said in a nationwide television address Sunday night that the Nixon ad ministration has been telling "the big lie" about a possible peace settlement in Vietnam.
"Peace is not at hand," the Democratic presidential nominee said. "It is not even in

Mgovern spoke in a taped political broadcast over the NBC television network. EARLER SUNDAY, heading into a final campaign flurry, he told a meeting of labor officials in St. Louis that Nixon has ruled the country "as a Roman emperor."
Continuing to hammer at Nixon's failure to bring peace, McGovern said that what remains to be worked out with Hanoi are't "details," as the administration says.
HE SAID the unsettled issues are whether North Vietnamese troops will remain in South Vietnam, whether the two countries will be reunited, and what powers will be involved in reconciliation commission tentatively agreed to by Washington and Hanoi.
"The truth is that the remaining issues are the central issues of the war. And Mr. Krone is right."
In the broadcast, McGovens said he received messages of support from two

Declaring in the paid political radio broadcast that the balloting can be "one of our finest hours," Nixon said he saw 10 goals—"the birthright of an American child"—that should be pursued whether he wins or loses Tuesday's poll.
SAN CLEMENT (AP)—President Nixon, in his next-to-last campaign speech, said Sunday that Tuesday's election offers a "good opportunity" for candidates and "is clear-cut and momentary."
In his radio speech, Nixon said that one in three Americans would not be old enough to speak.
"—An America at peace in a world at peace, not peace with surrender, but peace behavior, but not an interlude between wars, or an interruption and cooperation among all peoples . . ."
Nixon Outlines Goals Of Child's 'Birthright'
"I would like to spend a few minutes," he said, "thinking with you this afternoon about the birthright we ought to guarantee for them."
Nixon said his 10 goals "are not intended to be my campaign promises to you, for they are not something which any one man, by himself, could bone to deliver."

New Senate Treasurer Appointed
By JOHN PIKE
Martin will succeed Bill O'Neill, Ballun,
mo. senior, who submitted his resignation
to the board on Wednesday.
Roger Martin, Lawrence third-year law student, was named as the new Student Senate treasurer Friday by Dave Dillon, senior senator and student body president.

A 1968 graduate of Baker University,
Martin majored in economics and minored
Martin enrolled at the University of kansas in 1970 following two years of ser-
As treasurer, Martin will oversee the Student Activity Fee Fund. He will receive a monthly stipend.
Martin was selected from a field of ten applicants interviewed by Dillon and
Martin said the interest and desire to do a good job are of primary importance.
MARTIN SAID he was attracted to the treasurer's job by the opportunities for personal involvement and personal connection with time and willingness necessary to handle it.
"It takes some enthusiasm to ever turn out a good student government," he said. Martin said he plans to hold the job until Julius Caesar takes and take the Kawasan Bar examinations.
"I think this appointment helps the new administration that will be elected in the election."
from the standpoint of I can work with who is appointed to the treasurer's role.
MARTIN SAID he be viewed the job of Senate treasurer as one involving efficient, procedural work and not a great deal of program initiation effort.
“It’s not an initiation-type job,” said Martin. “Each administration and each treasurer has been trying to run a more efficient office and they coordinated their efforts.” But the company does that, and I’d like to at least maintain and increase the efficiency of the office.
"Once I get involved in it I may see some procedural programs that might be good to use and then I can take over when they take over the job, but as far as a job that's innovative, innovative, moving sort of forward."
THE TREASURER must have a philosophy, Martin said, to voice his opinions on budget matters during consideration of the issues, and then to take prompt action after the decisions have been made if he is in disagreement with the decisions.
Martin discussed the Student Activity Fee, and discussed the problems which he
"This would be a philosophy which I hope past treasurers have followed, and if they do not approve it, I will have approved or disapproved of an appropriation prior to its being passed," I'll make my views known on it at that time. I've been finalized, I expedite it for Martin said.
said will always exist in determining which programs the Senate should fund.
"I think it's going to be very difficult in a dynamic university that's going to continue to get more and more money poured in and continue to have more and more pressure to allocate it every which way to draw any type of guidelines to categorize a thing into university or non-university related or any other category." Martin said.
MARTIN SAID that there were going to be some arguments for funding university or college in the future, and people would have to present some argument against lobbying for the university in which they planned to work.
Martin commented on the arguments
DESPITE HIS case by case theory of allocations procedure, Martin said he personally favors restricting funding to universities closely related to the university as possible.
"I really think it's going to be difficult to do anything but have things fought on a case by case basis and have people marshal them and see what hammers." he said.
"I think that's a better policy, but I don't know if that's the policy that's followed before the present time and I don't know if there is legal backing for that policy," he said.
"If there is a possible interpretation of the by-laws which would say that non-university functions not be funded, I will defend to go along with that." Martin said.
presented for funding of programs by universities, and his ideas on opinion about them.
"ONE OF the arguments is that the university is an integral part of the society and the university promotes new ideas within the community, therefore they should be encouraged to monies to promote these things and if the universities don't do it, who else is going to?"
"I suspect that as I get more involved I will have some very definite concrete views on the issues."
