The Baha’i Faith has followers in over 300 countries and territories, from India to Bolivia, from Ireland to Tasmania, from Sweden to Japan. □ Baha’is believe in the unity of God and accept the divine origin of religions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. □ Baha’is advocate the unity of nations and races, the establishment of universal peace, the equality of the sexes, and the abolition of all forms of prejudice. □ Bah&’is propose the adoption of an international auxiliary language, the abolition of barriers to international, economic and cultural exchange, and the development of institutions that would ensure lasting peace. □ Baha’is abstain from partisan politics, refuse to assume hostile attitudes or to engage in violence, emphasizing instead the need to spiritualize humanity and to apply moral standards to institutions as well as to individuals. ENGLAND + JOHN FORD COLEY will present a brief introduction to the BahdT Faith and answer your questions about it on Friday, April 6, at 10:30 p.m. (following their concert), in Rm. 200 Harrington. Sponsored by THE BAHA’I CLUB OF TAMU. After the luncheon, students will return to the capitol for a guided tour. That afternoon, the group will talk with Governors’ Aide Allen Clark, and Railroad Commissioner Mack Wallace. The group will return to the MSC around 5:30 p.m. Greg Krause, coordinator of the Austin trip, said Political Forum began making plans for the trip early in March by writing represen tatives and setting up specific meet ing times. “Many students are uninformed about current issues in state politics, so we re trying to give them an overall awareness of what is going on and how decisions are made in our government,” Krause said. Krause said he had hoped more students would participate, but said he feels the smaller group size may enable the students to become more easily acquainted with the speakers. Students who are interested in the trip may contact Political Forum in Room 216 of the MSC.
