Student activists at the University of Georgia killed a proposal to build a memorial to those who lost their lives in military service due to the armed forces' historic exclusion of various groups. Laura Chason, a student member of the council that voted against the proposal, explained: "It's called a peace memorial. [But] it's a war memorial. A war memorial by its nature is going to exclude someone on this campus—females, non-Anglo males, African Americans, homosexuals and international students." Chason argued that service to other nations and in organizations like the Peace Corps should be honored instead.
