As some of you may have noticed. I am no longer editor. The last issues of the fall Cascade run gave me the opportunity to show all or you, that my lack organizational skills could not be overcame by Potato Heads alone. So with great regret J have made the decision 10step down us Editor of the Cascade in order tu pursue sotnc general educational goals over personal vendetta. As for my replacernent, Beth is great, if u little long winded some times. I would like now to take the time tu highlight some of neaI-o swff thm I hud the opportunity 10 oversee. This will help Beth lake up space on the page. Pleasecue "The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston.

Issue one was fun. ll helped set the rather black and white lone or the newsprint as well as the readership. The addition or a breast on the cover really helped to stir up some let1crs and increased our pick up rate. 11 also contained the easily forgotten column, Ask Dr. Science that nobody responded to but I still chuckle about t<i this day.

With the onset or Halloween we pltblished our !-Ccondlittle twelve pager.

( New Editor '.r Note: Sorry James, slight error:-): Our second paper was actually 16 pages bur now I u11dersrc111dwhy you had so mwh /1111wirh rhese "ediror 's ,wres:-)))

In this issue we saw the ret11Inof the pen review and some cool sex talk. lt .ilso seemed 10 perpetuute the seemingly round the clock Cascadecoverage of Dave Burnie. Why was this? I don't know it just happened and I'm sorry for putting you through
