LYLE J. BEUTLER The bleached Clark Gable of the UCLA funny farm plans on becoming an expert in his field (what ever that is). He hopes to either become a barber in the perio department for those who don ' t brush after every meal or an orthodontist bending beer cans at the pizza palace. He has fond hopes of channeling his burning energy into more hours of sleep. His future plans include getting up a right wing, Orange County bottomless night club. His greatest an:ibition is to come out of retirement, that is to graduate. NELSON E. BINGER Big, Tall, slow talking, slow walking Nelson knows all tlie secrets of the dental school. He has been known to disclose major faculty decisions of promotions and curriculum two weeks before official announcements are made. In fact, he was the first one to know who the new dean was: the best kept secret in the school. Nelson received the Pedo Award and in the words of Dr. Barber, There is no greater man than one who stoops to help a child. Nelson plans to specialize in children ' s dentistry. DAVID W. BLACK, JR. Dave, better known as little waveeDave has managed to spend his last four years at UCLA in absenteeism. All his crowns were flown in by carrier pigeon from a surf board somewhere in the Pacific. Despite being a member of Da Hawks and a true hard core agitator, Dave has managed to endear himself to the administration being anonymous and by cutting his hair. His plans include building a VW from pre World War II amalgam and goofing off. BRUCE W. BOER True to his Australian ancestry, Bruce seldom let dental school get to him. The only time he wore a tie was for the pictures to be sent to the state boards; otherwise, one could always recognize him by his tennis shoes, the pitcher of cold beer in his hand, or the canoe on his head. After a prolonged trip to anywhere, he may open practice or just comb the beaches of Newport. 34

DANIEL W. CARDON Dan excelled in the social science program, when he took a music class, the department wanted him to do graduate work in music. Dan also spent much of his spare time doing art work work and playing the piano. He never ceased to amaze his room mate, Dave Black, how well his box camera took pictures, especially after Dave spent a fortune on a new Pen- taz. Dan plans to set up private practice in the near future. LE ROY K. CARSON Le Roy was one of two in the class to graduate with honors from dental school. Being a hard worker, he wasn ' t seen much after he finished requirements. However, he did spend a great deal of time persuading instructors to adapt the students ' point of view. Due to patient shortages, his wife Beverly was the only patient to receive thirty two amalgams, foils, endos, and gold castings before receiving her dentures. After the Air Force, he plans to practice in Yugoslavia and do endo- dontics on elephants, there have always been big things ahead for LeRoy. ROBERTA]. CERVENY Roberta, our resident long hair, has somehow managed to survive her stay receiving only a few bruise marks on her derriere in the process. Aside from being elected to OKU, she also received the miltown award for calmness and cool- ness while others were loosing their minds. She is going into partnership with the dentist for whom she worked as a hy- genist. February marks the expected arrival of a new Cerveny: Congratulations to the only pregnant person in the class of 1970. .ai.;.3J , SAMUEL CHENG Doctor Cheng had the unique position of being student, teacher, and assistant clinic director of the dental school during the last four years. Before then, Sam served in the government civil service in Hong Kong as a dentist. Upon arriving at UCLA, he taught Radiology exhibiting not only an amazing- ability with the subject but also a humanitarian outlook toward the students and an understanding of their problems. His future plans have not been disclosed, but as a graduate of UCLA he will distinguish himself doing impressions of Richard Lu in John Wayne movies. 35
