By CAROLYN

In Colorado, California and
North Carolina, abortion reform
laws were enacted. Kentucky
was not one of the states adopting new laws.
Kentucky's present abortion
law as enacted in 1910. According to the law, abortions are
legal only if it is documented
that the pregnancy will result in
death. And after examination by
two psychiatrists, plus a battery
of tests, if suicidal intentions in
the pregnant woman are confirmed, she can obtain an abor-

Feature Editor
Abortion.
Medically, it means the termination of pregnancy. To the unmarried pregnant girl, who has
decided that abortion is the
"only way out," it conveys a variety of emotions, usually including confusion, sadness mixed with relief, but most of all a
certain fear. To the local
"butcher," layman's term for the
abortionist not medically trained, it means money.
Legally, its meaning is changing. In 1907, 17 states adopted
resolutions for abortion reforms.

tion.
Kentucky's law doesn't allow
for cases m which it is deter

mined that the unborn child will
be malformed, or for abortion
in cases of rape, incest or aggravation of present medical and
mental conditions.
At present, 17 legal abortions
have been performed at UK's
Medical Center this year. In
California, where the abortion
laws are more liberal, the abortion rate at university hospitals
may be as high as 300 abortions
for every 1,000 births. At the
same rate, the medical center
would have performed 450 legal
'abortions last year.
For every legal abortion performed by a trained doctor un- -

der sterile conditions, it is impossible to determine how many
criminal abortions are performed
by an untrained person under
unsafe conditions. Legal abortions usually have a predictable
of pregnancy
without danger to the girl. Illegal abortions may result in
prolonged hospitalization, inability to bear children, or even
death.
The major dangers of the illegal abortion are infection and
hemorrhage, according to Dr.
John Creene, head of obstetrics
and gynecology at the Medical
Center.
result-termination

Dr. Creene pointj out that
there are three aspects of abortionsociological, moral and legal. "Sociologically, no country
has been able to control its population unless they have a law
permitting abortion. Japan is
one example.'

Legally, the problem is main- ly one of bringing the law up to
date in view of medical advances and changes in attitude.
"I don't think it is possible to
convict a doctor for giving abortions today," says Dr. Greene.

Committee Study Continues

President Availability Criticized

By MIKE HERNDON
Assistant Managing Editor
The Student Services Committee and its chairman Steve

Bright continued the probe into
Administration-studen-

commu-

t

nication problems at a meeting
Monday night in the Student
Center.
The committee, an
of Student Government, is expected to report to the assembly
within a month the results of its
study.
Guest speaker for the
discussion was Stanley
Smith of the campus American
off-sho- ot

two-ho-

ur

Association of University Professors (AAUP), who presented
problems of and suggestions for
better communication.
Singletary Discussed
A major portion of the
session was the
inability of the stu-

dents to meet individually with
UK President Otis Singletary.
inciIn a
dent earlier this semester, Bright
was reportedly refused admittance to Dr. Singletary's Office.
During a speech by Singletary at the Sigma Phi Epsilon
Fraternity house Tuesday, Bright
asked the UK president the
cause for the rejection.
Singletary answered by saying
that he did not feel compelled
to grant interviews with any student who wished to enter his ofhighly-publicize-

d

fice.
Singletary Likes Channels
Smith explained to committee

members that he felt that Singletary was the kind of president
who would want the students to
go through channels for inter-

allow refrigerators in dormitory
rooms.
Bright said that Rosemary
Pond, dean of residence planning, told him that a strain onj
electricity, the small amount of
space in the rooms, dissenting
roommates and possible health
factors were drawbacks to the

views.
Smith indicated that this view
was opposed to that of former
president John Oswald, who felt
that meeting students individually "was good for the image."
Among other' things, Smith
suggested that the basic lack of

plan.
Despite this, Bright seemed
confident that the ruling would
eventually be passed.

communication between students and administration was
caused by the students not
knowing who to see in a given
situation.
He suggested that Student
Government distribute handouts to show which administrator was in charge of the varying
aspects of campus.

Change Machines Discussed
The possibility of change machines for dorms was also discussed, but the Services Committee felt that it will have to
overcome strong opposition to
adopt this measure.

One committee member reported that Central Vending,
which handles all campus machines, was contemplating removing all vending machines
from the dormitories. This, he
said, was due to the large
amount of vandalism on the ma-

One Student Government
member stated that she had
heard complaints from girls who
were afraid to make the long,
lonely walk across campus after
studying late in the library or
Student Center. Campus bus
service now ends at 10:30 p.m.
One plan suggested Monday
night would have one bus leave
the Student Center at 11 p.m.,
then return for those leaving the
library at midnight.

In other committee action, a
report was made on
the availability of classroom
space for night time studying.
A committeeman suggested that
a list of available classroom
buildings be drawn up.

growing nation. With this combination
we piled up the world's gold until it
became an embarrassment to us and we
started using it to reconstruct a
world. Now, however, there remains only
our form of government. Although we
overexploited from the beginning, our too
numerous and rapidly growing (yes, a
doubling time of 63 years I would call
rapid) population, imbued with a new
philosophy of "use it once and throw It
away," is now raping our dwindling resources at an ever accelerating rate. With
one fifteenth of the world's population
we are using more than half the goods
in world trade. We have gone from an
exporter of natural resources to an importer. Our balance of payments reversed;
instead of accumulating gold we have been
losing it. Although many have expressed
alarm, others have pointed out that we
have a favorable trade balance; our loss
is due to foreign aid, troops overseas,
foreign investment, war and tourist spending. Cut down these, they said, and we
would still accumulate wealth.
