For hair styling the range is from $8 to $15. Change in hair lengths for men has created the merging of men’s and women’s hairstyling shops. ‘‘You wouldn’t believe it but men are just as particular if not more so than worrien about the way their hair looks, ” Groce said. But in the barber shop that’s not the way it works. Cole said. “They come in with little hair to worry about to begin with and leave with even less.

Final Points Birdie Watchers Competition Badminton finals are completed except for men’s doubles. There were 164 entries in this year’s competition (a record high). Charles Emly was the winner of the men’s Class A singles competi tion. The women’s Class A champ for the second time was Dawn Hesalroad. Hesalroad also com bined her racket talents with those of Karen Boerner (last year’s Class B champ) to win the Class A wo men’s doubles. The Co-Rec contest was a mix ture of A, B, and C players and the winners were the men’s Class A champ, Emly, and Boerner, half of the women’s doubles champ duo. Some of the Badminton compe tition had to be rearranged to facilitate easier handling of the tournament. However, the com petition was good and maybe more participation in the various classes will eliminate this problem in the future. The (light of the ping pong ball holds the attention of Rick Smitherman and Don Greer as they concentrate on winning their doubles match. Rick and Don are representing Hotard dorm in class B.
