Budig has responded to a University Council recommendation that would ban the Reserve Officers Training Corps from holding commissioning ceremonies on campus. By Melissa Bulgren ALL MOVIES INDOORS: NO SUNSCREEN NEEDED! By Michael BENK Kansan staff writer At its May 3 meeting, the Council recommended the ban because Defense Department policies banning gays and lesbians from the ROTC program contradict KU anti-discrimination policies. Budd said he believed the recommendation was inappropriate in a May 22 letter to William Scott, presiding officer of University Council and University Executive Committee, of Ingmann, chairman of Senate Executive committee. According to Budia's letter, students enrolled in ROTC have the same right of access to KU facilities as students University's state-mandated obligations, Doug wrote. Although homosexuals are allowed to take ROTC military science courses, they cannot be commissioned through ROTC. "Disallowing the holding of the commissioning — in which by law the students are required to participate — on university property would be inconsistent with the University's state-mandated obligations," Budg wrote. in other sanctioned academic programs. Ingemann said yesterday that University regulations did not mention commissioning and that she did not believe Budig could use regulations as a basis to continue on-campus commissioning. The chancellor's position does not speak specifically to the issue of commissioning, she said. "ROTC has to abide by the University's non-discrimination policies," Scott said. "But in commissioning they abide by the Department of Defense policy." ROTC conflicting with KU's goals By Melissa Bulgren Kansas staff writer Kansan staff writer The University Senate will discuss today a recommendation that would exclude ROTC courses from the 124 credit hours needed for graduation. A petition submitted by Dennis Lane, professor of civil engineering, and signed by more than 100 people prompted the Senate to hold a special meeting today at 3:30 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium, Kansas Union. The Senate usually does not meet during the summer. Lane said Monday that the students who are in ROTC shouldn't be penalized because of the ROTC regimenting homosexuals from the ROTC. Homeosuxalis cannot serve in the Reserve Officers Training Corps under Department of Defense guidelines. On May 2, Student Senate passed a resolution condemning the ROTC ban. Then on May 3, University Senate passed an amendment to the University Senate. The amendment would apply to students graduating in 1986. The amendment would also be brought into compliance with University policies. University policy states that a student may not be denied access to any University-sponsored or University-approved activity because of race, religion, sex, discrimination, age, ancestry or sexual orientation. William Scott, presiding officer for University Senate and University Council, said the outcome of the vote would depend on the debate and the vote. mail-ballot will be distributed to decide whether the amendment will be added to Senate rules and regulations. If the vote passes, the amendment then would be sent to Chancellor Gene A. Budig for his approval. Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said in April that the ROTC ban on homosexuals conflicted with university's ant-discrimination goals. If the recommendation passes, a John Rademacher, Air Force ROTC professor, said he planned to attend today's meeting. "I'm just glad to see it will be debated and reviewed," he said. "I'm just gain to see it will be debated and reviewed," he said.Rademacher would not discuss specific details of the review. Pat Warren, Student Senate executive committee chairman, said "We thank the discrimination policy is ridiculous. We cannot support the policy." 24th and IOWA LAWRENCE, KANSAS (913) 842-1811
