Voters' needs told
By DIANE WANEK Journalism Camp Reporter
People who will be voting in Kansas this year for the first time need to meet certain qualifications to vote.
These include: He must be a citizen of the United States; he must be 21 years of age; he must have resided in Kansas for at least six months prior to the election; he must have lived at his address for at least 30 days immediately preceding the election.
Disqualifications include: persons under guardianship; individuals of unsound mind; persons convicted of a felony, unless restored to civil rights; persons dishonorably discharged from the service of the U.S., unless reinstated; persons convicted of defrauding the government of the U.S., or any of the states; persons convicted of giving or receiving a bribe, or of offering to do so; any person who has voluntarily borne arms against the U.S. or who has voluntarily aided or abetted in the attempted overthrow of the government.
VOTERS MAY register at any time during the usual office hours or other specified hours of the registration officer until 20 days prior to the election, which will this year, be until July 16.
The registration procedure usually requires the voter to go to the office of the registration official and apply for a registration
certificate. He must give his name, age, occupation, and place of residence. The registration officer then furnishes him with a certificate, stating that he has registered as a qualified voter of his city, ward, and precinct.
THE KANSAS statutes permit registration of persons under 21, but who will attain that age before the next general election.
If a voter is going to be absent from his home county on election day, he may file an affidavit of absence with the county clerk, for a primary or general election ballot. The ballot is then mailed to a designated address, filled out in secrecy, and returned to the county clerk by 9 a.m. on the Monday before the election. From there it is sent to the home precinct for canvassing on election day.
Voters who will be absent from their voting district on election
Warm and humid weather is forecast through tonight with a chance of thundershowers Friday before noon. The high today will be around 90 and the low tonight around 70, according to the U.S. Weather Bureau.

day may also cast their ballots at the county clerk's on the Friday, Saturday, and until noon on the Monday before the election.
IF A VOTER is absent in the armed forces or a civilian within the federal services he may use the regular absentee procedure, or he may apply for a federal service ballot 45 days before an election. In either case, registration is waived.
Voters who are sick or physically disabled may also vote absentee. Such voters must have registered where registration is required. The sick or disabled person must make application to the county or city clerk and this application must be accompanied by a formal declaration attested to be a duly licensed physician.

Journalism Camp Reporter Jacob Kleinberg, professor of chemistry, is enthusiastic—and modest—about his field.
Kleinberg fairly bubbles about the work of the department of chemistry, but dismisses his own work as if its meaning was something of little interest to the public.
True, the department of chemistry is important. And it can be counted lucky to have such a loyal supporter as Jacob Kleinberg.
THE DEPARTMENT has received over $500,000 in government grants, and also enjoys substantial industrial financing. He is quick to point out that the first Ph.D. was awarded in 1903, that since then 327 others have earned the doctorate and that there is a genuine and concerted interest in undergraduate teaching, in addition to the graduate work.
Kleinberg's work is something of importance, too. During the school year he spends about half of his time on administrative duties, and the other half on teaching and lecturing. His private interest in the field is "inorganic chemistry with emphasis on the area of the less common oxidation states of metals," a fact that his full bookcases attest to.
The department is large, so large that Kleinberg says it is the size of many schools on campus.
Jacob Kleinberg is very busy. In fact he would only admit to one outside activity of chemistry—lecturing high school teachers and small college teachers on the program of general education in chemistry.
is $40,108,034. The amount of the budget is up 11.4 per cent over the current budget of $36,013,832.
The proposed budget is $1/2 million dollars short of the amount requested by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe.
THE REGENTS rejected plans for a ground-laid steam line; remodeling funds for Snow Hall for biological sciences; remodeling funds for Flint Hall; remodeling of the old electrical engineering laboratory; and funds for general research. Funds trimmed included money for maintenance, and upgrading the physical plant. The cuts totalled $584,328.
The Regents okayed Mount Oread request at a meeting July 1. Included plans of the budgets were: a seven and one half per
It will be held on July 21-23. Some of the summer preview activities include orientation of the KU campus, enrollment planning, placement exams and medical exams.
A ninth session of KU Previews has been added so that KU could accommodate all of the incoming KU freshmen who desire to attend.

KU Previews adds another '68 session
The students will be housed at Gertrude Sellards Pearson Residence Hall and will eat their meals at the Kansas Union.
THE EXTRA session was scheduled because the last three regularly booked previews are filled to capacity and otherwise some students would have to be turned away.
The overflow load comes from the increased freshman enrollment for the fall and the acceptance by the new students of the orientation program.
Students who are new to KU in the fall and who do not attend one of these sessions must report at the beginning of orientation week for similar tests.
cent average faculty salary increase; a nine per cent salary increase for classified clerks, janitors and other personnel; A $19,-000 grant to install street lighting along Naismith Drive; Funds totaling $50,000 for expansion of Malott Hall's electrical capacity; An additional $50,000 for equipment to be placed in Malott Hall; A $200,000 grant for the campus electrical system; and $40,000 for the Upward Bound program.
THE ORIGINAL KU budget was $40,673,878 but was reduced to $40,108,034. The total state budget was also cut from $150,-235,926.
Wescool's salary received a boost, the Regents announced. The increase was from $33,000 to $37,-000.
Raymond Nichols, vice chancellor, had expressed concern over the federal government's decision to cut funds to state institutions of higher learning. Nichols said it would create problems "that we cannot ask the Regents to fill."
Bandits hit box office
"Several hundred dollars" was stolen over the weekend from the University Theatre ticket office cash box, Tom Rea, University Theatre assistant director, has reported.
The theft was discovered about 8:30 Monday morning by the theater business manager, Susan Ferguson. The exact amount stolen is not known.
An appeal was issued to anyone who wrote checks to the theater last week (Monday through Saturday) to contact the office and to stop payment on the checks.
THE KANSAS Bureau of Investigation plus the Lawrence and KU police are investigating the theft but have not released the details to the press concerning the robbery. The investigation is still being continued.
"We're trying to take steps to prevent this from happening in the future but there is no guarantee (that it won't happen again)," stated Rea.
"It was easier for them (robbers) than it should have been," Rea concluded.
