Scooby had to get into the field of dentistry to support his habit: apparently Scoob has got a Lotus on his back. Actually, Scoob was overjoyed at the technology which the dental school was able to provide since it made it easier for him to fabricate Lotus Elan parts. Only the Scoob would have the nerve to burn up a 157.00 diamond bur to fabricate a part he could have bought for 506. John's only complaint with UCLA is that 'FL his contention that 30 PSI is too weak to power his Quiet-Air fast enough to finish his patients by 3:00 p.m. Conse- quently Scoob is presently in the process of adapting his hi-speed to a Weber- carburated, 200 horsepower Lotus twin- cam. We'd like to see what happens if a bur breaks. Scooby dooby doo where are you? john Kouba D. D. S. , Ml, 'KZQ4 f T X Long, lean Jack, one of the select group of good guys from L.A. decided to attend UCLA rather than leave The Basin , not from any undying loyalty, but primarily because he had developed an addiction to smog. Jack is known by the Class of '76 in many respects, but particularly for his scholastic achievements. This is exemplified by Jack's being chosen as the first dental stu- dent to be awarded the Bat Rack Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded an- nually to the dental student showing the most promise in conscious sedation. During the past four years of his dental education, Jack has repeatedly proven his inherent talent in this area, especially during lectures. During clinic, Jack's patients undoubtedly found him easy-going and likable-- especially when he was conscious. Jack plans to carry out his many fine attributes into a general practice somewhere in the L.A. area. Q0 lack Kurtz D. D.S.

r Starrie Lowe D.D.S. George Maddox ll D. D. S. Starrie, generally considered to be one of the fastest operators in the clinic, has recently revealed that her phenomenal success was the direct result of avoiding all prep checks by feigning a language barrier. In addition to her clinical activities and the aggravation associated with it, Starrie has somehow found time to take up tennis, swimming, sailing lessons, taking little Starrie, Stella and Steve to school, cooking three meals a day fnever missing onel, checking the kids' homework, doing wax ups at home, and keeping Peter happy all before her 9:00 a.m. patient. After graduation, Starrie expects to open up solo practice where she wants to have the best location, the best equipment, the best hygienists, the best assistants and the best patients fpayingi, which means that most of her time will be spent avoiding her 200 relatives seeking free dental work. Due to an error in his creation, the original George W. Maddox was a do-over so a II was added to his name. One of the famed Maddox Brothers, George terror- ized the wrestling teams at Cerritos College for two years to the tune of George of the Jungle. Having decided to pursue a career in dentistry, George came to UCLA after decid- ing that psychology would provide a better background for dentistry. As an avid sportsman at UCLA, George invented a new sport called The First Date Homerun , more commonly known as The Score. The sport consists of two teams of one player each, usually a male and a female. The rules of the game are some- what obscure, but George is an avid player even though he often ends up beating himself. As one of the easiest going characters in our class, we can be sure that wherever George opens up practice, the grass will always be greener.
