The PROBE
Fresherless Welcome 2012 The absence of first years in this year’s dental course did not stop us from throwing the first dental event of the year, aptly named Fresherless Welcome. The equation was simple: OHCWA lawn, a free BBQ, dirt cheap drinks and the people we slog our days out with for a night to let loose and get up to some crazy antics. This year’s UDSS t-shirt design was revealed: and possibly the cutest picture of a molar bear to date! For those of you who still have not got your shirt, it’s not too late to see your local UDSS president to get your hands on one, and why not a UDSS stubby holder while you’re at it!

Fresherless Welcome 2012 Continue page 1.. The lawn was opened up to a much bigger size this year, giving much more room for people to roam the gardens of OHCWA and soak up probably the most contact to nature we will ever get all year. DJ Avi and Bayan provided some huge tunes for the night that got us dancing our feet off on the makeshift d-floor.
A sneaky reintroduction of a dental tradition was brought back, with boat races being welcomed back like a starved man having his first meal in 6weeks. Participation in this “sporting event” was so enthusiastic that no one actually knows who won the championship that night. A replay of the games would be needed at the next sport event to officially decide a winner.
And so ended the night that started a year of many more funfilled and care-free dental events to come. Nobote, GV Blacks, Quiz Night and the ever awaited Dental Dinner Spectacular – who said dentists don't know how to party?! - by Marisa Teh
Link Week UDSS put on Link week pizza one lovely Thursday afternoon as an opportunity for students in older years to have a chat to those in younger years. The idea was to share tips and tricks for surviving OHCWA and making some new friends in other years. The event was a great sucPage 2
cess with lots of students coming along for the free pizza and soft drink. Apologies to the 2nd year who I accused of being a med student stealing our pizza, you are always welcome at dental events. - Ben Zuidersma
The PROBE
Allied Health That time of the year where every student from dentistry, medicine and other health disciplines put their differences behind them united for the biggest events of the year: Allied Health. Future doctors, dentists, physios, nurses and those who could tell the difference between an arm and a kidney packed out Metro City to full capacity. And when I say full, I mean face in the armpit of the sweaty
guy next to you fist-pumping full. Nevertheless, a dance floor packed to its limits always ensures a great night, with the addition of the flow of cheap drinks and amazing tunes. And who could forget (actually many, I’m sure) the huge screens for anyone to text in messages of sexual offerings and oh so many booty calls. Partying on till the wee hours of the early morning ended a great night of
“when I say full, I mean face in the armpit of the sweaty guy next to you fist-pumping full” fleeting friendships with those dirty med students. Who now we can go back to hating for taking up our parking spots! - Marisa Teh
Guest Lecture
Do you know what a Dental Clinical Assistant can do for you? Well a few (very few) of your colleagues now do thanks to the first UDSS
guest lecture of 2012. The topic was "Dental AssistingA Perspective for the Dentist" and the ladies at the Central Institute of Training kindly presented a very informative lecture including all the hot tips. All involved gained a lot out of the night and I'm sure it will help come progression to the "real world". Stay
tuned for further guest lectures throughout the year, kindly organised by your UDSS and sponsored by MIPS. - Luke Rodman
Loupes Presentation Recently we have had the pleasure of Kerr demonstrating Orascoptic loupes and Ivoclar with their Heine loupes. I believe many students purchased some of their products and I wish all the good fortune to all those who did! If anyone is interested in getting some of these fantastic products in the future, or would like some product information, let me know and I can help organize it for you! - Luke Rodman

North Nogga “Dentistry Students at their finest !!�
Foot in Mouth Basketball The inaugural "Foot in Mouth" Podiatry vs. Dentistry basketball match saw PMSS (Podiatric Medicine Students' Society) change the time of the event on several occasions, I suspect due to fear. But have no doubt, UDSS confirmed their fears when we took the cup in what was a closely-
Page 4
matched, highly physical event. Winning by 3-points, Dentistry was represented by myself, Yusef K, Matt Y, Emma T, Jen C, Yi Xing L, Vinvent G and Yu Guang T. The match saw some big knocks and some big shots but there is no doubt a great rivalry has been developed and I look forward to
the progression of this event into the future. A big thank you to PMSS for organising the event and make sure to check out the trophy in the UDSS common room! - by Luke Rodman

PROSH Wednesday the 4th of April was UWA's annual PROSH day which saw the students collect over $140 000 for charity! UDSS had a theme of "Bogans and Hobos" (as a tribute to Ryan Moldrich as it was his birthday) and never before had a hessian bag or socks and thongs been so classy. This was the first day that the School of Dentistry gave us the entire day off and many made the most of it by participating in this fantastic
event. The rave was filled with as many juvies and UDLs as ever and the paper was well, kinda funny. A big thank you to all those who participated and to those who didn't, you're lame...but there's always next year! - Luke Rodman
