i1 i . l In SCHOOL OE LLIED HEALTH SCIENCES Sorry, we missed Dr. Armand C-uarino, Acting Dean of the School of Allied Health Sciences Dr. John Preece, Acting Director of Dental Auxiliary Training: Professor - Dept. Coordinator of Dental Hygiene Diagnosis and Roentgenology Education The School of Allied Health Sciences includes three auxiliary units of the total dental conglomerate. Hygienists, although not employed by every practicing dentist, are also a major asset to some ot the more progressive and productive practices. Dental assistants also are not always utilized to their maximum potential, but tor the dentist willing to hire a certified assistant, the returns are much greater than any amount invested Cwell, there are exceptions to everythinglj. Dental Lab technicians, unlike the hygienists and assists, are utilized by ninety-nine and 44!100ths ot private dentists. In their case also, the price paid is outweighed by the service rendered. lt should be clear by now that these three specialty groups contribute significantly to the overall dental picture. So one can imagine the multitude of the task faced by faculty ofthe School of Allied Health. Yet they continue to turn out quality personnel, highly skilled in their respective fields, determined to contribute to the future of modern dentistry. Mrs. Jane Carr, Acting

REMEDI TORME I think that I shall never see my name behind a D.lVl.D.:ft One chance is all they've given me, To prove that here's where I should be. I've worked my butt off for three years And stayed 'bove average with my peers, But then an onlay margin caught, And now it may be all for naught. Zinck said the summer I could wait, And then I could remediate, Two weeks l'll have of summer session, But, what if my patient's on vacation? Then to the Junior floor l'm sent, Another year of my life spent Cottone and Hoskins on my back, lVly attitude will surely crack. They say that I'lI be treated fair, CBut first I'd better cut my hairlj lVly wife, she doesn't understand, She thought we'd made the Promised Land. She can't believe they'll kick me out On that point she is most devout - But more, she says that if they do, Our marriage meets its Waterloo. I haven't told my parents yet, Lest in their wills they might forget Their son, who tried so hard to be, A great success in dentistry. An extra year they sure won't pay, I'd better go and see Charles J. Oh, Lord, I have been such a fool To think Dentistry and Dental School, Could be the end and the means. Cl think it's just a hill of beanslj If in San Antone you wish to stay, Then politics you have to play, So I've just made a call to one Of my good friends down in Houston. :FA D.D.S. is what we get But see ain't gonna rhyme with it. So if you think it to be queer Stick this poem in youri. Editor Anon
