The University of Kentucky student newspaper, the

in a contest recognizing collegiate publications'
work so far this school year.
The Kentucky
Kernel and the Kentuckian won Best of Show awards
Sunday from the Associated Collegiate Press at a convention
in Orlando, Fla., attended by 2,400 college journalists.
Included
among the winners in the newspaper category were the
Indiana Daily Student at the University of Indiana,
the Daily Texan at The University of Texas-Austin,
The State News at Michigan State University, and The
Daily Pennsylvanian at the University of Pennsylvania.
Included among the yearbook winners were Pittsburgh
State University's Kanza yearbook; The Sheaf at Principia
College in Elsah, Ill.; The Grifton at Missouri Western
State College; and the Johnsonian at Johnson and Wales
University, Providence, R.I.

school year. Ten finalists were chosen from around
the country, and the list was narrowed to four winners
