A self proclaimed genius, Bob immediately impressed us all by simutaneously waxing his 2X teeth, doing the Daily Bruin Crossword, breezing through Histology, and patting his head while rubbing his stomach. In clinic, Bob will be remembered for pioneering the field of Yoga-Dontics by training his patient to stand on her head while he condensed his class III gold foil. His other interests include his mastery of song and guitar, leading to complaints from neighborhood pet owners, and an extensive Playboy collection that he is still hiding from his wife. In conclusion, B.C. seems to have a good grasp of where he's going and how to get there. He's not telling anyone though: he wants to get there first. l I . 'SC Magic Hands , as Creighton has by his own testimony, been appropriately nick- named, will probably be best re- membered for his ability to do everything great. We will be forever indebted to him for his saintly altruism in sharing with us inexhaustible, detailed and lavishly generous accounts to everyone of his vast and multitudinous accom- plishments and triumphs during his dental school career. Seriously, though, Creighton has demonstrated to us that his clinical Creighton Chow D.D.S. skill is A LNIOST as outstanding as his account of it. Best known for his smash and mash technique in Gross Anatomy, Creighton wasn't always the first to complete his lab dissections. However, it S100,000 contract with lVlacDonaIdS.

Rick Champany l One of the mellowest characters around our school is the Champ. As one of the regulars in the back row, Rick entertained us with stories of wine and roses in his younger days. Especially when he recounts his experience as a high school bus driver. A familiar sight around the clinic is Champ's tan covered, resin dripping Pipe. Alfh0U9h he claims to have a sub- stantial collection of other pipes to smoke, the stalactifical formation on the bottom lead one to suspect otherwise. Still, Rick's even disposition has been his greatest asset. After all, who else would light a match, take a puff and f shrug when told his last partial was un- acceptable the week before graduation? D. D. S. Vrv ,, ff., A 3 l i 5 I As a product of Las Vegas, Steve once had early ambitions of becoming a topless blackjack dealer or a one-armed bandit. The city life of LA and USC provided bigger and better horizons for him, so he became obsessed with an uncontrollable urge to express his creativity by bending a wire. Dental school has developed Steve into one helluva skier and upon graduation, he'll probably be totally prepared to open a photography studio as well. He has excelled in all aspects of our curriculum except the financial end. He knew he was weak in finance lor he would have never left the Vegas Strip,l so he began research with the billing department to learn about a specific Matter. In 'his zealous pursuit to do a good job in this endeavor, Steve distinguished himself by becoming the first dental student to have a girl from billing assigned to him full time for his accounts and personal needs. We can all join President Ford in wishing them a happy marriage. Steve's next step in life will find him in Ortho school. We're hoping Unitek has plenty of .030 wire in stock.

i Before coming to dental school, Kent was living the easy life in Lake Tahoe as a Safeway clerk with his fox of a wife, Jana. With free evenings and beautiful country, all was well until he started dreaming of big bucks and being called Doctor insteady of grocery clerk. Answering the call, he and Jana packed up their meager belongings and came to UCLA to make their lives dif- ficult. Borrowing furniture from anyone who would lend it for wasn't lookingl, they scrimped and saved like paupers. How- ever, after being on the Newlywed Game, the Newlywed Alumni Game the Hollywood Squares on two different occasions, and winning 10 million dollars, Kent plans to buy the dental school and turn it into a Safeway store.

' ' M-.Lil l 4 ' I fl- .3, While sitting in a far off rice paddy with lead flying overhead, John decided that there must be something more to life. At that moment he decided that shooting amalgam bullets would be a pleasant change. Upon this revelation, he came back to the world, married his high school sweet- heart, Carole, and enrolled at San Luis Obispo in predent. Three years later he walked quietly into dental school with cowboy boots on. Some will say that he rode to the top of his class. But then something happened. It was December and white stuff had began to fall on the mountain tops. John immediately went to the local store and traded his cowboy boots for ski boots. During the next four years he managed to excel in skiing while developing clinical skills that amazed his instructors. Then there was another turn in his life. John found a place called the Oral Surgery Clinic. A fire was set in him that melted the snows. He traded his ski boots for green shoe covers and now plans to be the avante garde of Oral Surgery. Keep an eye on this shy country boy who came in as a rodeo star and will leave as an OR star.
