From the Razor's Mouth Men Cut Own Beards—Barbers By LARRY JACOBSON Most students growing 3 e a r d s are trimming their own. This is the general con sensus of barbers interviewed in an informal opinion poll. The borough barbers took the witness stand (or barber’s chair) to answer the question “What do you think of the beard growing idea?” Most bsirbers—like barbers will do—took the opportunity to give a few additional comments. The barbers were unanimous on one thought: those students able to grow beards should. A few took the opportunity to qualify their beliefs. Russell Copenhaver felt th&t unless students grow full beards, they should not grow them at all. Copenhaver said that the students who grow fancy little beards that are nothing more than lines of fuzz are only making a joke of the affair. Gordon Robison, fifth semester arts and letters major, and a part time barber, said students should grow beards if they are able, but that the townspeople should stay away from beards. Robison *aid it is the University’s Centennial, not the town’s. Robison feels that harmony should exist between Denise Darcel THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.

Most barbers said that only stu dents who can grow full beards, not peach fuzz, should actually grow them. They said that a half beard looks worse than no beard. The Centre Dally Times ran a feature story on beards in town and on campus complete with pic tures. According to the story, most students are haying a ‘lot of fun’ growing their beards. One of the pictures in the Times showed Elisha Howes, fourth se mester arts and letters major, sporting his four week old growth.
