DR. LOUIS MANDEL With a loud C ' mon and do it already!!! Dr. Louis Mandel kicked us into the field of oral surgery and the real world of dentistry which we entered for six weeks during our senior year armed with knowl- edge of mucoceles, pocket biopsies, and mushrooms. Dr. Mandel the founder of the Salivary Gland Clinic at Columbia SDOS taught us common sense and practicality concerning not only surgical skills, but business skills as well, liberally sprinkled with dry wit. His true concern for the welfare of the students has made him an obvious choice for this dedication. So what ' s the bottom line? Thank you Dr. Mandel for being just the way you are!

DEDICATIONS DR. STANLEY R. SADLES We will always remember Dr. Stanley Sadies who, with a willing hand and a smile made our time in the clinic floor enjoyable as well as informative. As much as a part of our morning routine as a cup of coffee was his cheerful morning greeting: What are you doing today? . And of course, no cavity prep was complete without the infamous get your largest spoon excavator and deeper! you ' re still in enamel . And if inlay rock and roll had got you down, he ' d help seat that sucker in two seconds! . But more than any remembered phrase, we leave Columbia feeling grateful to have had someone as caring and dedicated to teaching high standards as Dr. Sadies. We are thankful to have been instructed by this interested and talented professional. It is to the loss of future classes that Dr. Sadies plans to retire this summer. Or as he humorously refers to it, his Graduation to Arizona; but we are honored to have experienced his warmth and concern. Thank you Dr. Sadies.

DR. ROBERT GOTTSEGEH Dr. Robert Gottsegen and Columbia Periodontics are synonymous. Anyone who completed postdoctoral periodontics or undergraduate dental school must have been influenced by him. As Director of the Division of Periodontics from 1969 to 1988, Dr. Gottsegen has proven to be a versatile administrator. He runs a taut ship, bringing together an outstanding faculty and students of international repute. He continues the Columbia tradition of preeminence in periodontics through research. As a teacher, he stimulates the best in his students through intellectual challenge. More importantly, as a dentist he exemplifies what is best in the profession through his integrity, intellectual grit, and dedication to the field. Those of us who came to Columbia because of Robert Gottsegen hope that he will continue his affiliation with the school and give future students the opportunity to experience all that he has to offer. The flame that Dr. Robert Gottsegen was handed in 1969 has become a torch that cannot be extin- guished.
