Members x( the University
Senate concluded a
discussion Monday on the Code
of Student Conduct by approving
the appointment of an academic
ombudsman and by proposing
new authority for the University
Appeals Board in cases of student
rights.
The proposals were partly a
: reaction to the Code of Student
Conduct which was approved by
the Board of Trustees in July.
Any changes in the present code,
however, must be approved by
the Board, following senate recommendation, before becoming
legitimate University regula-

to be distributed throughout the campus, with particular emphasis on housing units and classes.
Which Visited Most

Information gained from the questionnaires will help
determine the book stores most frequented by students
and faculty, those offering the best service, largest
selection of supplies and lowest prices.
In Carver's opinion, "this questionnaire will give
students the opportunity to suggest changes in the University Book Store operation so that instead of losing
money, they could conceivably be paying less to the
housing and dining system."
After the questionnaires are collected and information
is assimilated from them and from the open hearings,
the book store committee will tabulate the findings and
present its full formal report to Student Government.

Courts Too Slow, Says Combs
By RON HAWKINS

Kernel Staff Writer
In a speech delivered to the
UK Law School Forum yesterday, federal judge Bert Combs
spoke out against judicial delay.
A former governor of Kentucky, Combs expressed a desire to see more efficiency in the
courts. He declared that courts
"have not kept up with other
fields of human endeavor."

Judicial Speed Lacking
While elaborating his point
on lack of judicial speed, Combs
pointed to the issued of capital
punishment. He said the Supreme
Court is preparing to rule on whether the death sentence is "cruel

and unusual punishment."
Combs said, however, he felt
that it is cruel and inhumane
to keep "condemned men in
'cages' in a state of limbo between life and death."
Combs added that although
lawyers generally felt Innocent

of any guilt in Judicial delay,
"there is enough blame to go
around for every body."
Mixing his speech with anecdotes, dry humor and advice.
Combs' speech was devoted, generally, to procedures lawyers
should follow and the qualities
needed to become a successful
lawyer.

In a brief question and answer period following his speech.
Combs said he thought it was
wrong "to turn down a Supreme
Court nominee because of his
philosophy" unless it was"Com-munist.- "
Combs said he could not comment on rumors that he may return to politics.

Another blow fell also. After covering
most of this ancient city of about 100,000
people, there was an inescapable observation: these people somehow hadn't heard
or discovered that it is possible to have
slums.

California! The Golden State of sunshine and health. Magnetic Utopia, attracting ever more people to that great
land of opportunity with the promise of
a better life.
Within a period of 10 years California
will have established two major milestones in our nation's history. First was
when she overtook New York as our most
populous state. With her population growing by 50 percent per decade, the second
is now imminent. This nation within a
nation, once the world's greatest agricultural region, will soon join the 130 countries and territories which have more
people than they can feed, and are absolutely dependent upon our Great Midwest for their survival.
This miserable mass of humanity, collectively reproducing at a rate which
would double their numbers in less than
25 years, could provide a valuable lesson
to the people of California. It includes
Haiti, once the wealthiest and most productive of all agricultural regions of Latin
America. Haiti is now the most densely
populated, most miserable, and has the
lowest per capita income to be found
throughout that now wretched region of
squalor.
It also includes India, once the envy
of the world because of its great wealth.
The Jewel of the Orient was the inspiration for Christopher Columbus and other
European adventurers. Now India, with
her 540 million people, is a nation of
stupefying destitution, unable either to
produce or to pay for the foxl she needs.
Like a blotter she regularly absorbs one
fourth of our annual wheat production of
1.2 billion bushels, and "pays" for it in
the "funny money" program by which
we now own three fourths of all the
rupees in India.
But whereas the overpopulation of

the New World), California stands poised
hopelessly to overshoot the mark within
a minute piece of human history. Orange
County, which had 61,375 people when
Richard Nixon was a boy there, holds
1,300,000 today.

Never before in the history of man
has a people rushed in so furiously to
bite the hand that feeds it. The fabulous
agricultural regions of California are being subdivided and made into homes,
parking lots and industrial sites at the
rate of 375 acres a day. Even if this rate
vcre to remain constant (it is accelerating), half the productive farm land now
in the state would be destroyed within
30 years.

In an attempt to "solve" the water
problem of southern California, the voters,
outnumbering the bitterly opposed northerners, approved a $4 billion bond issue
for the Feather River Project to divert
water from the north. The smell of water
provided at taxpayer expense attracted
land speculators. Deserts previously unsuitable for homes were subdivided with
such a rush that the new water supply
was gobbled up before it got started.
A similar problem here in Lexington found
the promised four lanes on Tates Creek
Pike inducing such a building boom that
the road will soon be overcrowded again.
California's great agriculture lies pri,
marily in the Imperial and San Joaquin
valleys. Both are now in such serious
trouble that they might as well be covered
with asphalt.
Imperial County, along with Fayette
Co., Ky., is consistently among the nation's top three in per capita farm income. It was being irrigated by Colorado
River water 30 years ago when Tucson
and Phoenix were little desert tow towns.
Tucson now has 250,000 people and
Phoenix 500,000. For water supply they
mine the ground for
Haiti and other unfortunate reIndia,
gions was a gradual process built up Pleistocene deposits. Tucson goes down
over the centuries (Haiti, discovered by an additional 13 feet per year; Phoenix
liinl)us, was the first land settled in 41. Soon the water will be gone.

After 12 years of litagation the Supreme Court has decided that Arizona,
as well as California and Mexico, is entitled to its share of the Colorado River.
Tucson and Phoenix are to be saved
vhile the Imperial Valley dies. Since
Arizonans (fewer people than in Kentucky)
cannot afford the cost, their well known
senator led the fight to allow the nation's
taxpayers to fund the Central Arizona
Project to bring their water to them.

Dr. Pisacano's appointment, while a
regrettable one, would be predictable
enough. The committee appointed to recommend Dr. Forth's succession is headed
by Dr. Alvin Morris and is composed
largely with those close to or indebted
to Dr. Pisacano and is filled out with
such as Our Dynamic Executive whose
primary interest is in unity and stability
and such.
The railroad conspiracy seems more
probable when one considers that such
popular men as Dr. Michael Adelstein
(English), Dr. Donald Nugent (History),
and Dr. J.W. Patterson (Speech) have
not even been interviewed by the Morris
committee. These men would in my opinion be far preferable to Dr. Pisacano as
Vice President, and I am sure that each
of these men woul
