Scoops is back in business in the CC after the term break under new management and WIfortunately this current version is almost impossible to recognize as the famous Scoops of past days. We have always beentrue supporters of our local ice cream outlet and proudly boasted of its’ superiority in every respect, The spectrum of flavours and generous portions have generated overflowing pleasure during our days at UW but the rainbow selectioh has taken on a new chameleon like quality which has deeply disturbed us. Firstly, past large servings of ice cream seem to be only a memory of byegone days. Our cones today were so small we could hold them with only one hand. Today was the first time we managed a Scoops cone and a Turn Key coffee simultaneously. Secondly, SCOOPS couldn’t even change a $20.00 bill when we tried to pay for our two cones. Not only could they not provide change but they told us to go over to the Turnkey desk to get our own change before we could purchase ice cream. We wanted

bacteria, so hard brushing to the point of bleeding should not occur. Should your gums bleed with even a light massage with the toothbrush, taik to your dentist. One excellent suggestion. for healthy gums is to run a water-pick gently over all of your gums after you brush your teeth; if you do not have a water-pick, open your mouth to the stream of water each time you take a shower-not only does it help to increase circulation in the gums but it is actually quite relaxing?
Uestion: Could you please give me some in ormation about receding gums? With some of my teeth, so much gum is gone so that the teeth look almost twice their “old” size! What are the causes? What are some ways of preventing this, or slowing this process down?
Answer: Periodontal ease] involves the receding ice cream so we didn’t protest too strongly but we did ask, “Who is serving who?” Thirdly, while one woman served us, a man and woman conducted what sounded like a lover’s quarrel behind the counter. Why couldn’t they keep that for later or better yet, why didn’t one of them attempt to locate change instead of sending us to the Turnkeys to get our own?
disease (gum disand inflammation of gums around the teeth. There is evidence now that it is caused by bacteria, just as is tooth decay. What this means i& that the gums must be brushed as well as the teeth. The best prevention of gum disease is good consistent mouth care and attention to the proper method of tooth-brushing. Brush down over the top gums and teeth, and brush up from the bottom gums and teeth. Some people find it easier to brush in circles. Always remember, however, that the object is to gently but efficiently remove

What is WPIRG? by WPIRG
staff
Are you worried about the indiscriminate dumping of toxic waste, the silent destruction of our Iakes and forests by acid rain, or the disproportionate distribution of the world’s resources? Have you often thought about doing something about it but couldn’t find a way to get involved? For 15 years the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) has provided an outlet for UW students to actively work on a variety of environmental and social justice issues. Through research, education and action, students have gained insight into the interrelationship between different social issues while improving their skills and, providing valuable information to the community. WPIRG is located in Room 123 of the General Service Complex. The salaries of one full-time and two part-time staff, along with programming ‘expenses, are ‘derived each term with a $3.04 fee charged to each student. The tuition check-off is refundable during the first three weeks of the term. Financial and organizational direction are provided by a seven member student board of directors appointed for the summer term. If you are interested in participating as a boardmember phone or visit the WPIRG office for details. The key ingredients of WPIRG are the resource The centre, research and education/action. WPIRG resource cent&e has files, periodicals+ and books on social justice and environmental issues. A partial topics list includes, acid rain, commun3ty development, economics, energy, industrial *
waste, food, health, housing, international development, labour, technology, and water quality. Books and peribdicals can be borrowed for a twoweek period and files can be used in-house or photocopied. WPIRG’s research is also unique. Do research for class credit! We offer you the opportunity to take part in research projects aimed directly at helping overcome a social injustice. Acid Rain: the Silent Crisis, Chemical Nightmare: the Unnecessary Legacy of Toxic Waste;The Social Impacts of Computerization, the K-W Tenants Guide and Waste Management Master Plans What You Should Know, are just a few of the’ publications compiled by WPIRG in copjunction with student volunteers.

WPIRG will also coordinate a work group throughout the summer which will organize educational events on social justice and environmental issues chosen by work group participants, Interested persons should attend the first meeting at the WPIRG office May 17 at 4:30 pm.

I used to read in MAD magazine about crazy. tiniversity stunts and pranks,, most of which were somewhat hilarious unless you happened to own the goldfish that were being swallowed. Those of u’s that will be here next therm are getting ready for one of the zaniest I’ve come across in a long time; and if you miss it this Spring, it’ll get you in the Fall: we’re talking about the ordeal administered by our beloved student Federation known as “Used Book Store Stuffing.” This idea of seeing how many of the 15,000 University of Waterloo students can pack themselves into the converted closet called the Used Book Store must be a source of perpetual humour to the Federation as there seems to be no effort to make the situation more reas.onable. It strikes me that drinking is far more impoflant to these peopIe as we have the largest campus pub in Canada - and I dare say one of the smallest Us&d Book Stores. It is also morbidlv humourous that h&e at the so-lcalled “computer centre of Canada,” the manager of the Used Book Store

Well the fine lady who has been struggling along with us under these adverse conditions has had enough and is leaving. I for one am unhappy to see her go, but even more dismayed that it will not dawn on the Federation as to why she left and things will remain unchanged. As I’m standing in line for the better part of an afternoon next term, a few questions will probably drift through my mind: Is it really worth tbe bother of all this to save a few bucks?
