Sexual issues prompt panel
By MARY CARTER Staff Reporter

Many people who have based their attitudes toward homosexuality on the Bible have done so on an uninformed basis, the chairman of the department of religious education.
"People tend to pick and choose parts of the Bible to support either what they believe or are afraid of," said Robert Shelton, the chairman.
"Everyone picks and chooses — whether he says he does or not. They often do so on an uninformed basis. People need be responsive and well informed on the way they choose."
TO ENABLE PEOPLE to base their decisions on accurate information, the department of religious studies will present a seminar titled "Christianity and Homosexuality," from 7 to 10 p.m. Sunday in 100 Smith Hall, Shelton said.
"Our whole purpose is to try to enlighten, to provide more information so people will be better informed as to the connection with this issue that religion has, which is often used as a source against people of that sexual orientation." Shelton said.
Shelton said the religious studies faculty decided the seminar was needed because of the increased campus debate about homosexuality in recent weeks.
Earlier this semester, a Student Senate
committee invalidated a petition calling for a campus vote on Senate financing of Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas. That decision is being appealed. Last last month, a Senate committee approved a second petition circulated on campus last month calling for a student vote to ask administrators to end campus recognition of GLSOK.
Last week, Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, sent a letter to all faculty and staff saying the University of Kansas would ban the use of "racism" by those who harbored others because of their beliefs.
A FACULTY FETITION, also circulated last month, called for the administration to condemn attacks on GLSOK and its members.
"We've noticed a preponderance of letters to the editor debating this issue that have a content claiming biblical support," Sheilon said. "Many of them say something like 'I am a Christian and thus I am against homosexuality.'"
"As significant as it is on campus, since so much of it seemed to us to have to do with religion, and since we are the department in the University that is responsible for the study of religion, we thought we should make expertise available to people." Shelton said.
FOUR PROFESSORS WILL present information on different topics. Shelton said.
John Hanson, associate professor of religious studies, will discuss what the Bible says about homosexuality. John Macauley, associate professor of religious studies, will
speak on the early church's treatment of homosexuality.
Sandra Zimdars-Swartz, assistant professor of religious studies, will discuss later church history and insights from feminist spirituality. Shelton will discuss changes concerning homosexuality that are taking place in contemporary Christianity.
There will be a question and answer session after each speaker and at the end.
"We didn't set this up as a so-called forum or debate," he said. "We are prepared to offer as scholars things that we know that some people do not know."
"ONE OF THE THINGS we'll talk about is that, when you take the Bible as an authority, there is something to remember about the totality of the biblical message. There are some accepted priorities in the biblical community. Things like love and non judgment."
Shelton said the seminar also would treat the meaning of homosexuality.
"That word is not used in the Bible," he said. "The word has come into our language in the last three to four centuries. The kind of word that is generally not the kind discussed in the Bible."
"The references to that activity tend to refer to men who were normally heterosexual in constitution and practice, but who did sort of thing as a lark or as an act of violence against other people. This is not why the sort of thing we have in mine today."

Kansas sites featured in art book

Kansas sites such as the Carey Salt Mine in Hutchinson and the Boeing Co. plant in Wichita rarely turn up on a painter's canvas.
But Jim Hamil, a Prairie Village artist who graduated from the School of Fine Arts in 1988 has produced an art book that tells the well-hidden Kansas sites and settings.

Senate bill predicted to win vote
By JOHN HANNA Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Supporters and an opponent of a bill that would cut Student Senate ties to South Africa yesterday said students probably would support it in a campuswide vote.
But Jon Gilchrist, the opponent and the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, also said he still did not think the bill would be even if it were approved by students.
Students will vote on Wednesday and Thursday to determine whether a bill to prohibit student organizations from using Senate money to buy products from companies doing business in South Africa will take effect.
LAST WEEK, THE Senate passed the bill. 12.11 Senators put the issue on the ballot for the Student Senate elections by a nearly unanimous voice vote.
Supporters of the bill oppose South Africa's practice of apartheid, a form of racial segregation, and say that a boycotts involving Senate money will make a strong statement.
Dennis "Boog" Highberger, student body vice president, and Chris Bunker, chairman of the Senate's temporary Committee on South Africa, co-sponsored the bill.
HIGHBERRGER NAIŁ also favored a
make a statement to the KU administration
"It can only make our position stronger," he will be putting our money where our mouth is.
But Gilchrist questioned the legality of the bill if it were enacted. He referred to a recent opinion by Vickie Thomas, University general counsel.
IN HEAR OPINION last month, Thomas said the bill would be illegal because it would restrict the competitive bidding process required for groups that make purchases with state money.
Senate money is state money because it is collected by the state and held for the Senate. Thomas said in her opinion State statutes do not give the Senate authority to restrict the bidding process to companies that do not do business in South Africa, she said.
Bunker answered Thomas opinion with one of his own last month. In it, he said statutes called for the "lowest responsible" state to be recognized for purchases with state monopoly.
That phrase means that the Senate could conceivably restrict the bidding process. Bunker said. He also said yesterday that the Senate should enforce that would make it comply with state law.
GILCHIRT SAID THAT the clause did not change the intent of the bill and that the bill would be useless if enacted. He also said that he was expecting to receive an opinion on the bill from the Board of Regents' general counsel today.
Gilchrist also said the timing of the referendum helped its supporters. He said he
"There's not much time to get information out," he said. "A three-day period is not long."
But Jay Smith, a graduate senator who voted against the bill in Senate, said he thought students would vote against the bill because of his stance. The bill, such as the bill, such as the possible illiquile, he said.
Also, both sides disagree on the impact that the legislation would have on student on-
BUNKER SAID THE requirements would not be difficult to comply with because each group would receive a list of companies doing business in South Africa. The list would be compiled by a subcommittee that would be up to help enforce the provisions of the bill.
"A free market has many suppliers." Bunker said. "Almost anything you can get from one supplier, you can get from another."
But Gilchrist said the subcommittee could be used to intimidate groups because it would investigate complaints of violations
