Kudos Continued From Page One lens of photographer Mark West, though no laughing matter, was surely of interest to history buffs. In a livelier vein, sports on campus was covered like a blanket by sports editor Bob Koenig, obviously fully recovered from his recent encounter with a bullet of the speeding kind. Finally, this issue contained the usual contingent of quality poesy and fiction that we have come to expect and enjoy. So I salute you. Rag and Bone Shop, on your first anniversary and congratulate you, one and all, for a job well-done. Congratulations are also in order to those responsible for conducting the recent Student Government elections, the first elections (general and run-off) in my four years of matriculation that did not result in cacophonous cries, usually in less than decorous language, of misconduct or foul-play. And believe me, in the shenanigan- filled world of student politics a clean, noncontroversial election is no small accomplishment. This minor miracle was performed by Elections Commissioner Chris Frank who, buttressed' by election guidelines drawn up by members of the Judicial Board, kept an argus-eyed watch on the proceedings throughout and deserves credit for carrying out a truly thankless task in such a fair and official manner.
