The Kentucky Kernel for this current session will,, .for, the first time

in its own planf
In fact, the type fo'r this issue of
the paper will be set up on a
Linotype , machine purchased last summer frow the
Linotype Company of New
York.
The university has fitted up
two additional rooms for the new

paper. The press work of the pubwill be done by a commerlication
cial firm in the city.
The Kernel makes another outstanding departure this year in that
the size is changed from an
paper to ono of 8 pages, G
columns, and the columns are materir
ally lengthened. Through frugality
and. industry, the Kernel organization has been able during the last
two years to lay aside sufficitfAi
to make the first paymeatl'"'tibi
handsome new Model 14 machine, iki

for the publication of the paper. 1
The staff starts this year the largest line of advertising ever run at
the beginning of the school session.
It has encouraging assurances of a
continually increasing business thru-othe session. The staff plans, as
soon as possible, the installation of
a press and other material necessary
in the production of tho fully equipped plant.
Tho Linotype is electrically driven,
and it is the hope of the Kernel that
it will be able to electrify the entire
plant when installed.
