Old Newspapers Never Die-
They Just’Cliangc Locations

By Dorman Cordell

The Kernel is moving out of the
“Dungeon.“

June 4 is moving day for the Ken-
tucky Kernel printing plant. and the
Kernel newsroom will follow just as
soon as new furniture arrives. The
new Journalism Building will be the
home of the Kernel.

The University Press. now on
South Limestone St.. will occupy
about one-half of the space now on
the ground-floor used by the Ker-
nel. according to tentative plans an-
nounced by Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain,
vice president of the University. Ex-
pansion of the University Postoffice
will take up about one-fourth of the
space. and classrooms will be built
in the additional space.

The basement. which now houses
the Kernel nchroom and the press
which prints the Kernel. will be
used for storage.

THE KERNEL NEWSROOM.
which is usually called the “Dun-
geon." and sometimes more unprint-
able names. has been in the base-
ment of McVey since 1929. when it
moved from the basement of Miller
Hall. This newsroom has seen dozens
of journalism big-names gain their
first Journalism experience as Ker-
nel staff members.

Hundreds of names could be iii—
cluded on the list. but a few of the
more notable ones include John Day.
Courier-Journal Washington cor-
respondent; John Ed Pearce. editor-
ial writer for the Courier-Journal;
Kenneth Gregory of the Associated
Press; Fred Conn. a publisher in

caster: and hundreds of Kentucky
newsmen and editors. And so the
list goes.

After a shutdown of about two
weeks. the Kernel printing plant will
resume operations with what W. D.
Grote. manager of the Kernel Press.
calls "one of the best printing plants
in Kentucky. and probably the best
college printing plant in the whole
country."

TWO NEW PIECES of equipment
will be in operation in the new lo-
cation. Aii offset press is now ready

V'

the

ifor installment. and a larger letter

press. which will take a sheet about

twice as big as is now pessibie. will-

be installed. These will enable the
Kernel Press to do a wider range of
printing.

The business office will be moved
along with the presses. The entire
task will be done by professional
movers and will cost about $2000.

"After we‘re set up. we‘ll be in
better position to handle the Uni—
versity's printing on schedule." Mr.
Grote said. "We'll have practically
all the equipment of latest and most
modern design to do it.

“We‘ll also continue to print books
for the University Press. which ‘.\(‘
started this spring. We have already
turned out three full-sized books
which compare favorably with work
done by large book -publi>lllllg
firms." he added.

The three books printed by the
Kernel Press this year are "The Im
pact of War on Federal Personnel
by Dr. Gladys Kammerer of the
Political Science Department. “The
Secular Lyric in Middle Enalish" by
Arthur Moore of the English De-
partment. and "The University of

Retrospect ‘

iA year of editing theKernel teaches s-puson a lot about the;
University. This peculiar position in the In“ of tlc stream of!
campus life gives us an inside view of the Workings of a great in-{
mm. We find out what makes things tick from the smallest“
campus club to the state bg'islnture. \Ve've developed the ability
to Iook at things from the viewpoint of both the student and theé
Arbninistration. And we’ve realized that, too often, these view-i

’ fail to meet. 3

1We sincerely hope the Kernel has made some contribution tol
(lid campus this year. \Ve’ve tried our best, but it isn't an easyi
jolt There's always someone to complain that a story was left?

that a name was misspelled, or that we're being unfair. But;
slicer-l take long t become immune to this. for if there’s one
thing the Kernel teaches you, it’s that you can't please everybody.

‘The University has progreSsed a great deal since this graduating
class entered four years ago. The completion of five major cam-
pus buildings, the winning of several national sports champion-
ships. and the maintenance of enrollment despite the end of the
Veteran Era are all achievements of which we can be proud.
But buildings, athletic success, and enrollment don’t make, a great
University. -— «min-u .

UK is also making pmgress in scholastic achievement. High
honors have been given several of her faculty members and stu-
dents. But increased emphasis is necessary to make UK as na-
tionally known for her educational achievements as for her ath-
letic success.

Our four years here have seen little improvement in student.
spifit, and the situation doesn't look very encouraging for the
future. Until more student control puts the lifeblood back into
such major campus organizations as SCA and Suky, things will
stay just about as uninspired as they are.

Yes. a Kernel editor reaches a lot of conclusions about a lot
of things. Perhaps many of them have been wrong, but they‘ve
been based on what we saw. and we hope they've been fair.

One of the main conclusions we’ve reached is that the Uni-
versity of Kentucky is a pretty nice place. And we kind of hate
to leave it.

The Final 30 ‘

The “30" that will be written at the bottom of this editorial
means more than just the usual “end of this piece of copy.” This
“30" is filial. It means this is the last Kernel this staff will put out.
perhaps the last in this wom. old office which has seen so many
Kernel staffs come and go. It means the end of a lot of work and
worry and the end of a lot of fun.

It seems like it's about time to publicly thank all those un-
recognized stafi members without whose time and hard work the
news could not have been tumed into Kernels. From sports and
society editors down to reporters, they've all been wonderful
people to work with.

And the long-suffering printers deserve special recognition for
putting up with our mistakes. our late copy, and our demands.
They’ve done high quality work for us this year and have demon-
strated their genuine interest in helping us put out a good paper.

Our sincere thanks to all of you — it’s been great.

THE
