Despite a faculty member's objections, the University Council yesterday approved a letter supporting President Clinton's effort to lift the ban on gays in the military.
The letter soon will be sent to Clinton and members of Congress from Kansas.
defending his countrv.
Carl Burkhead, professor of civil engineering, began the Council discussion of the letter by objecting it.
Burkhead called homosexuality a sin and said he did not want gays
Burkhead said he was concerned about the ability of the military to separate heterosexuals from homosexuals.
"I would not want my children to be protected by anyone with that kind of lifestyle," he said.
"Where are they going to sleep or take a shower?" he said. "If you let homosexuals in the military, you are going to have a major morale problem."
Travis Harrod, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said that he thought everyone, including gays,
should be allowed to enter the military if they wished.
"I think if anyone wants to risk their life and defend me, then give them a gun. I'm all for it," Harrod said.
"We want it to be known that we oppose discrimination in any form," said E.P. Johnsen, professor of educational psychology and research.
However, some Council members were concerned that everyone at the University may not agree with the Council. The Council then changed the two-paragraph letter to read "University Council" instead of "the University of Kansas."
