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

town and University, but said
townspeople who grow beards
would be ‘homing in’ on a student
project.
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.
Howes was a student who wrote
the letter to the Daily Collegian
suggesting that students grow
beards for the Centennial
