STOP THE PRESSES—This is the man who can do it. He is David Brace, first year law student from Moline, who is employed by the University Press as an assistant pressman, operating a Duplex Press. He is a transfer from Kansas State College where he worked for the college publication.
Many Work On Kansan
It Takes A Team
Five times a week the University Daily Kansan progresses from typewritten copy and roughly penciled plans to the printed product you are holding.
University Daily Kansan
The job of producing a paper is the responsibility of the Daily Kansan backshop in Flint Hall where mechanical elements of the paper are handled.
Advertising is the first part of the paper to be composed. On the afternoon before publication advertising for that issue is assembled. Ads come from the advertising staff in rough layout form, with copy written in or attached.
Some ads contain art work in the form of stereotypes. These are heavy cardboard molds. Metal is poured into the mold and the picture is reproduced for printing. Ads are assembled with border, signature and copy. A proof is made and corrections are inserted.
Photograph plates in the Kansan are made by a machine called a Scan-A-Graver. This produces a plastic plate with small dots on it. This thin plastic plate is mounted on a block of wood to make it as high as other printing elements.
As soon as they are typed and edited by copyreaders, news stories are set in type by linotype operators. When a story has been set a proof is sent to proofreaders. Corrections are marked; mistakes are reset and placed in the story.
Stories Set By Linotype
The advertising staff makes page layouts showing the ad location. On the morning of publication ads are placed in page forms.
As pictures are finished and news corrections are set, both are put into page forms. A page proof is "pulled" for another check on errors.
Headlines in smaller sizes of type are done on a linotype; larger ones are set by hand and cast into single units, as was large ad copy.
When all page proofs have been approved, the page forms are put on an elevator and taken to the basement of Flint Hall where the press is located.
Pi Lambda Theta Holds Teaching Panel
A panel discussion on practice teaching was held by Pi Lambda Theta, women's educational fraternity Tuesday in Bailey lounge in observance of Founders Day.
Members of the panel were Kay Davis, Kansas City, Mo., president of the organization, Lona Soice Baker, Wichita, Mildred Long, Winfield, Carol Curt, Neodesha, and Ann Straub, Chicago, Ill. All are seniors. Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes, first national president of the organization, was guest speaker.
Preparation and printing of a Kansan takes 3 full-time employees and 5 part-time employees; 2 other men are required to run the press. This doesn't include the large number of students who produce the Kansan during their free hours.
To make girdles last longer, fasten garters straight and in the center of the stocking's hem.
3 Employed Full-Time
Over 8,500 issue are printed a day, most of which go on the campus. Distribution starts as soon as the papers come off the press, and continues throughout the 2-hour press run.
About 550 pounds of paper are used in an 8-page issue. Between 7 and 10 pounds of ink are needed.
Upon completion of the press run most type used for stories and headlines is meleted down for re-use. Only signature cuts or ads to be rerun are saved. Before a printing run is completed the backshop is already at work on the next day's edition.
Items for the official Bulletin must be brought to the Public Relations office. 222-A Strong, before 9:30 a.m. on the day of publication. Do not bring Bulletin cards to the Daily Kansan. Notices should include name, place, date, and time of function.

The chimney swift is the only bird known that can beat its wings alternately, this unusual faculty enabling it to be the most maneuverable bird that flies.
To Europeans the plover is the "rain bird" because of its habit of scolding before rain. "Plover" is derived from "pluvia," the Latin word for rain.
