Supplement Termed 'Handsome Venture9

F. AXTON
English Department
It is a real literary event on
earn pus when the hard nosed old
Kernel issues a Literary Supplement, as it did April 15 even
more so when it turns out to be
as handsome and worthwhile a
venture as this.
Worthwhile for a number of
reasons, not least of which being
the fact that the supplement was
distributed free to a campus audience of 10,000, surely the largest
run of a purely literary publication in UK history.
Worthwhile also because, for a
first literary venture, the quality
was, if uneven, at its best very
high indeed.
Worthwhile, again, because
its appearance indicates the presence on campus of a flourishing
body of young writers and artists
who are writing enough, and well
enough, to support another publication in addition to the
"Stylus," whose editorial
board assisted the Kernel staff in
this enterprise.
Worthwhile finally because

have here a nioile of publication
which ought to be seriously considered by those responsible for
the publication of "Stylus."
A certain amount of financial
support already exists for "Stylus," which is published twice a
year. With this and aid from other
quarters (which may not in fact
be needed), it should be possible
in the future to turn out a quarterly publication of the quality
of "Stylus" in the format of a
supplement to the Kernel wliich
would reach a very wide campus
audience indeed.
I would, however, make one
suggestion in the event that this
mode of publication were adopted
in years to come: give the supplement another fold across the middle, and set the pages accordingly, so as to give it more the appearance of a magazine.
In the meantime, administrative and financial problems involved in publishing "Stylus"
under Kernel auspices as a quarterly literary supplement could
be left to discussions between
those in authority on both publications. I suggest that they be
undertaken as soon as possible.
It is such a good idea that I only
wish I had thought of it myself.
Turning now to the Kernel
Literary Supplement itself, let
me begin by praising David
Hawpe for hitting on the idea of
a supplement in the first place,
as well as for his admirably professional handling of the
He did everything he could do
without actually bleeding the
cuts out to the margins, a rather
more costly process than the practice followed here.
No less do Joe Nickell and
Scott Nunley deserve attention,
along with the 'editors of "Stylus" generally, for selecting and
editing the prosaand poetry, especially in light "of the fact that
this was a project done hastily
amid the publication of the spring
edition of "Stylus," and with

the Kernel's Literary Supplement
reached, if it did not touch, a
mass campus audience, most of
whom would not otherwise come
in contact with the writing of
their classmates were it not for
this special edition. The Supplement at least presented the campus with this dramatic evidence
of what many UK people do with
their time when not otherwise
employed in class, at the Paddock,
At Daytona, or on a demonstration some place.
On the basis of these cons id-

erations, some very
implications about the campus
literary scene suggest themselves
as a result of the appearance of
the Kernel Literary Supplement.

We have here a
publication produced on newsprint by
offset in a run of 10,000 copies
for about half the cost of getting
out an edition of "Stylus" in

600 at 25 cents a copy.

effective and moving. And one or
two are deliberately amusing.
As far as poetry is concerned,
there is lots of it, all very handsomely mounted on the pages and
surrounded by God's own plenty
of white space. It is uneven in
quality, much of it by writers who
seem to be making their first appearance in print on this campus.
That is a most hopeful sign,
because where it is bad it is so
because the writers set themselves to describe complex and
contradictory states of feeling and
thought which were beyond their
powers of communication. But
that so many shoud have attempted so much makes me happy.
Elsewhere there are symptoms
of a kind of pointless rhetoricity,

term papers coming on in addi
tion. Only someone who has edited a publication can appreciate
what a monumentally messy and
business it is to
get a literary magazine on the
streets.
The overall appearance of the
Supplement is lush, within the
limits imposed by newsprint and
offset, thanks very largely to the
lavish use of some very bold and
striking photographs by Sam
Abcll, most of which reproduced
faithfully under the offset process.
These are all technically complex and difficult photographs to
make and print, relying as they
do on montage and other gimmicks. Sam Abell's success is of
a high order.
I must say that I liked the
cover montage the least, although
I admit that it served its purpose
of disturbing one enough to make
him interested in seeing what followed. The best photograph I
thought was that on the back
cover, a bold and simple print of
stark white outlines of bare trees
against a black background.
Next to that I admired one on
the back of the front cover, a picture of boys by a sheet of water.
These were achieved by some
technical process I do not understand which has the effect of reducing and simplifying the range
of values to black and white, and
of occasionally reversing them.
However the effect is achieved,
these photographs, if tricky, are
