Journalism Press A Place For Employment of Many Students And Printing Is Done at Cost
The Journalism Press of the University of Kansas is one department of the institution that is financially independent, enables more than twenty students to work their way through school, and permits the various schools and departments of the University to secure wrinting at cost.
Mr. Guy Pennock, who has been with the Press for more than ten years, is Superintendent, and due to his efforts and those of his predecessor, Mr. W. B. Brown, now a superintendent of the Union Bank Note Company of Kansas City, the Journalism Press has grown from a small country printing shop to a completely equipped plant, capable of turning out book work and tabular matter. The company also serves university Diversity Kansan, and with working conditions as nearly ideal as any show in Kansas.
The Press prints the Daily Kanran, Oread Magazine, Graduate Magazine, Kansas Engineer, Kanana Editor and a large number of these, essays and pamphlet work for the University, bringing most of the job and form-work.
Mr. Pennock is always on the look-out for the welfare of the student workers. He does not lose his temper when some embryo newspaper man from the journalism department asks him, foolish questions.
Today three linetypes and one monotype take care of composition for the many publications. An improved Miehle press is running the first edition of the Owland folder eliminates hand folding in the bindery department. An Oswang power paper cutter will cut any sized paper. The stock room is filled with a large stock of paper, allowing it to be framed in a kind of stock on demand.
