I will try to answer your you. Ta Ta. ORopOay Caltech undergraduate and gradu­ ate students will be eligible to sign up for the Safeguard Prepaid Den­ tal Program. The plan is optional, but is such a deal that those already insured should take advantage ofit. It costs $34 a year for an eligible member, and $68/year for a member and one dependent. Once signed up, the member chooses a local dentist who belongs to the program. There are three dental offices, with a total ofeight dentists, that belong to the program and are close to Caltech. Free benefits of the program include cleaning once every six months, oral examinations and diagnosis, .office visits, full-mouth X-rays, and preventative dental education. Other services and treatments will require co-payment, including topical fluoride treatments ($5.00), emergency treatment ($15.00), broken appointment change (i.e., less than 24 hours notice-$1O.(0), fillings (ranging from $10-$25 depending on the number of teeth involved), extractions ($25-$55 plus $20 anesthesia, depending on the condition of the teeth), etc. For those already covered by some dental insurance, your pre­ >­ sent insurance should pick up the .D cost of the co-payment depending £ o on the type ofinsurance you carry. .c The best idea is to take care ofyour Cl. dental problems while in school The Van Is Back-Jeff "Larry" Flint, the new ASCIT upperc ass Director-at-Large presents the freshly repaired ASCIT van.

THE CALIFORNIA TECH FRI DAY 6 MARCH 19875 More Inside World from page 4 On Sunday, the well-hung, God-awesome Fleming basketball team beat the lame, limp-dick Lloydies in strong fashion to set up this week's softball showdown with the Spuds. Especially impn,ssive was Brian Calder's around-the-back, through-the-legs, in-the-gym-shorts-and-out, double pump reverse slam, or maybe it was a layup, to seal the victory. Volleyball is going as expected, with the Big Red Machine coasting to an inevitable first place finish. This Saturday is another bob-bitchin' party with the Moles & Rudds. Jim sez, "I promise to get you drunk or laid." Don'!drink, then wait in Jim's room (44) for some great action (must be over 13 years of age). Watch your attitude, because the BOC is watching you. -Boy Wonder Lloyd: Ya know, in days of old when a Techer got finished with his homework and found himself with time on his hands he might go to a movie with his or her pals or seek the opposite sex at another college, or perhaps do something worthy enough to be printed years later in that fine novel, Legends of Caltech. But sadly, these days are behind us. Now ya know what he does? That's right, heads straight for the Geekbox room and punches up "Hack." It is this epidemic problem which has prompted us to follow the example of the American Lung Association's "National Smokeout Week" with our own "National Geekout Week." We thus offer up this challenge to Techers everywhere: Just go from Sunday March 8 to Saturday March 14 without playing ONE SINGLE COMPUTER GAME. Come on, it won't be that hard. It's only a week. And as inspiration, Lloyd will serve as a "Model House" during the week. To further promote National Geekout Week we also suggest you leave the calculator watch in your room for this week, not ask ridiculous questions in class, not look like an idiot by taping your pink slips to the door, and if anyone out there (God help you) still has thick glasses fixed with tape, Get Contacts!! Well, you get the idea. Instead of wasting your life at Rogue, why not drop by the bar and try our fine Drink 0' the Week, which this week is the AntiChrist. One part Vodka, one part Gin, and one part Creme de Cacao. Now isn't that more exciting than killing a Demon on level 42? Remember...if you can do without it for a week, you can do without it forever. -Skeeter & Jethro Ruddock: Stardom went straight to Betsy's head (and Betsy went straight to Mike's head), so she thinks that she's too good to write the Inside World now. However, she still finds time to go to the pantry three or four times a week. Anyway, if you missed her performance as a showgirl in the play, just wait for the movie. Speaking ofmovies, I understand that the movie of the week is Purple Rain. The Lloydies had a fun Friday of sitting on toilets without seats. But the question is: How many Lloydies does it take to shower one Rudd girl? The world may never know, because they couldn't. They dickmunchingly retaliated with an all expense paid trip to the beach for Wayne, but why does it take three carloads of Lloydies to ocean one Rudd? The enraged mov retaliated by thrashing Lloyd House and supplying Fleming and Dabney with some new furniture. We tried three times to get the Lloydies to play, but they didn't want to, so we wasted them anyway. By the way, why were you runn­ ing away, Haba? I went to a Siamese cat show l~st weekend, and guess how many Rudds I saw. Shall I name names? But ofcourse! Let's see, there was Chaji, Shu, Vic'n Dave, George, Pink Lloyd, and Nik "the Quick, but not with the Dick." By the way, Joe, did you get your wineglasses back? I just wanted to make sure, since I heard that Nik hastily bailed to San Diego. Quote ofthe week: Charles Tsai says, "I don't want to say anything bad about Thu because she'll get all her little friends to beat me up." But Charles, we wouldn't say that Eddie's all that little, but then he'd be too "busy" to come beat you up. Speaking ofEddie, he's the lead singer for the new group P.W.D. with their smash single "Tied to the Whipping Post." Band members iclude guitarist Mikey "Can't Pull No Bitches" Warren and Eric "The Rod" Scharin, bassist and backup singer Ed "Ho}\' Nice, Got My Balls in a Vice" Callaway, and on percussion, that mad -Hawaiian John "Reach Out and Touch Someone but Get the Receiver Out of Your Pants" Kubodera. On a more moderate level, congratulations to Ed Mao, the newest Rudd Ath Man. Upcoming events: Frosh Party with Blacker and Fleming Saturday at 8:09 in the court­ yard. Things to watch for: Can Z keep his feet to himself on the dance floor? Will it be Wayne or Hungse with a date? Then it's softball with the Phlegms bright and early Sunday morning, and Interhouse volleyball on Monday, Tuesday, and Thurs­ day. Also, look out for the soon-to-be-released swimsuit edition of the BFD. Dabney Drink of the Week: Kool-Aid. FREE DELIVERY - Bets the Thespian (but ofcourse)
