Muslims begin festival; end 30-day religious fast
By ROSE MARIE LEE
Today is the Muslim festival feast of "Id-al-Fitr" in the year 1386—according to the Mohammed calendar, a lunar calendar reckoned from the Hegira in A.D. 622, when the Muslim prophet Mohammed fled from Mecca to Medina.
The beginning of the three-day festival of prayers, charitable deeds and merry-making opened with formal prayers this morning by Muslim society members.
ORDINARILY, Muslims may say their prayers anywhere, but on a special occasion such as this, the people gather together to say the festival prayers.
The "Id" festival also marks the end of a 30-day penitential fast period.
Like their 450 million fellow worshipers throughout the world, some of KU's 150 Muslims participated in the fast during the 30-day lunar month of Ramadan.
THE DAILY FAST begins at dawn, and lasts until sunset. At dawn, Muslims, bowing to the east say the first of the five daily prayers to Allah.
Red China to be seminar subject at P-to-P meeting
An international relations seminar, co-sponsored by the KU People-to-People chapter and the Kansas Jaycees, will be held from 1 to 5 o'clock the afternoon of Feb. 11 in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
John Rouse Jr., chairman of the Kansas Jaycees international committee, announced that "Red China-The Dragon of World Politics" will be the topic of the seminar.
Four experts in the field of far eastern affairs, who will be announced later, will be featured on the program. The seminar will include a short talk by each of the four speakers and a question-answer period moderated by Will Rose, president of the national People-to-People organization.
Zafar H. Israili, Moradabad, India, graduate student and president of the KU Muslim Society, said the fast is compulsory for all practicing Muslims unless they are excused because of illness or travel.
Israeli explained that Muslims have four basic beliefs: god, heaven, hell and judgment.
He said, "We believe there is a god who is supernatural, but he had no son. Christ, along with Adam, Abraham, Mohammed and others, was a prophet or messenger sent by God to teach and lead the people. We believe that
Kimball was sentenced to 50 years each on two charges of rape, 25 years each on two first degree robbery charges, and five years for assault with intent to rape, all to run consecutively.
The sentences exactly followed the recommendation of Jackson County prosecutor Joseph P. Teasdale, who said that "In view of the defendant's prior record—and the vicious pattern of Kimball's crimes, he is a dangerous individual and should be removed from society for the rest of his natural life." He said if Kimball was sentenced to life imprisonment he would be eligible for parole in 15 years.

Christ was immaculately conceived but he is not god because there can be only one God."
REGARDING JUDGMENT, Israeli explained that "man is directly responsible to God and himself. There is no saviour or intermediary."
Muslim beliefs are based upon the Koran which, in some countries, must be memorized by all practicing Muslims.
The Koran serves to unify Muslims who have no clerical hierarchy or church as such.
Jay-Janes sell mums give two scholarships
They're not really flower girls, but they made their money that way. Now they've taken the money they made and are going to pay a couple of girls' fees next semester.
The girls who get their fees paid are Sandra Charvat, Wichita sophomore, majoring in zoology and physiology; and Barbara Taggart, Cheyenne, Wyo., junior and art education major.
The girls who are doing the paying are Jay-Janes, an honorary upper-class women's pep and service organization.
The money that they're using comes from what the organization terms their service project for the University. That project is selling mums. And this is the second time they've made enough money to award two such scholarships. They gave two for the current semester.
