farbering has become more of a
irofession.
On an average day at the City
iarber Shop, 10 to 12 men wander
not for a haircut, but to find out
he day’s news, Cole said.
‘You find out more news from
your barber shop that you do from
the local paper,” one patron said.
Men saunter in and out of the
shop. There is no rush to leave.
There are no magazines in the shop.
They don’t go there to read.

Groce also said that 85 percent of
his customers are regulars. How
ever, he has become friends with
most of his customers when they
come in for appointments. Most of
his regulars were strangers in the
beginning.
Occassionally, someone will wan

styled, Groce said, but then its usu
ally to buy a bottle of conditioner or
hair spray.

Bryan-College Station is from $2.75
to $5.50. 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

newer salons for men that began springing up in College

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.
