It was hell to go through, but we certainly had some good times. I would definitely do it again, for dentistry means that much to me. For those who helped me I say thank you. However, I will never understand the chronic unpro- fessionalism among a large piece of the teaching staff. There is no rational reason for a dental student, one of the chosen few, to be belittled to the extent that he is, and the day after graduation to be an equal among his peers. There is no reason for the female staff to push stu- dents around the way they do. And most of all, there is no reason for the lack of communication between the students and the high administration. I believe that the end results of all the jagging is a disregard for continuing education on the part of the new graduate. His dental school fear of failure can prohibit further learning. This must not be allowed to happen. If all the forces realized that to upgrade the profession they must start in the schools, dentistry would truly be the leading medical field. As to my future plans, they are simple. I am going into the practice of general dentistry with my father in Chi- cago. Being recently married, there .are no plans yet for children. I would like to do some traveling first. Perhaps in four or five years, if I can afford it, I will come back to teach, the sole purpose being to restore dignity to the dental student and make him feel professional. Stuart J.

fsn. rl ll' ef Nrgr.. '.f'. X 5 Q... I WI' H I I 55: . J in Q N i Both dental school and Chicago have been an ex- perience that I will never forget. After being selected on Loyola's late draft choice around the middle of Au- gust, and figuring out just where Chicago was, I bought a ticket for an airplane and arrived the next day in the Windy City. The first few years were filled with too much home- work, bad weather, the old school, and a definite slow- down in my extracurricular activities. About the only ex- citement was the Friday night drinking sessions with the boys. The last few years have been a little more fun. Memories of the Eli Lilly trip with Dr. Lee, Paul Tesone and myself looking for the elusive TRIPLE in the hotel corridor will always remain. Future plans call for a fast exit to California where hopefully soon I will learn the art of wirebending for a living before settling down in Fresno to someday raise a family-after I get married, naturally. Like anything else, you don't really know how much you miss something un- til it is gone, and l am sure I will feel this way about my four years at Loyola University School of Dentistry. William J.
