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.

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.

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.

Masquerading as a high school dropout good humor man, Bernie came to UCLA clad only with an omnipresent smile and nine pairs of handball gloves. Having al- ready traded his dental equipment for handball various other paraphernalia, Bernie seemed quite destined to remain at UCLA a little longer than most of his col- leagues. Handball proved to be quite an asset for Bernie. Not only did it dress his way through dental school but it gave him the necessary escape from lectures and teeth. Bernie was the only one known to have spent six full appointments with the same patient on simply oral hygiene instruction. It wasn't that the patient needed it, it was that when the lectures were given, Bernie was off in Hawaii, Las Vegas, or some other exotic place. A master of forensic debate imore likely pure bullshiti and holder of the ear to ear smile, Bernie always had a good word for everyone. Upon graduation, B.C. plans to continue his breathing exercise, play handball in the back of his dental office, do an occasional amalgam and talk. 1. - , ,wg t 'Y K S' 1 Q., 1 1... - AN 1' V . .- f .gi :N J -2 it 4-3, X i,-1 - X 2' ' al Q 51, 76 , xt .

Our suspicions were almost confirmed during Fashion Cabaret's planning stages when we discovered that Andy could sell anything. Who else could've convinced those entertainers that performing for free would decrease their caries index, or guaranteed Leonard Holguin that donating 500 orchids would assure him of early graduation.

He will probably amass his wealth by being the director or administrator of a dental equipment corporation with the goal of driving S.S. White and Midwest America out of business.
