Hygiene and Hairiness

When students drive onto the campus of Providence College it appears as though all sense of personal hygiene is lost.

Starting on October 1^st the boys began this thing called Hairy ‘til January, where they do not shave, trim, or cut any piece of hair from October 1^st until January. I am not sure how many of you out there have seen an unmanaged beard, but it is not a pretty sight, all patchy and gross looking. Then there is their long hair, you would be surprised how fast some boys hair grows.

What theses boy’s motivation is in allowing their hair to grow wildly, I do not know. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that for some odd reason it makes them feel like men. Why it is that looking like a beast makes them feel like men is beyond me, but it appears to be the way it is.

Some girls on campus are violently against the Hairy ‘til January cause. So in order to combat it they have come up with their own. There is no catchy name for what they are doing, but mainly they are not shaving until Christmas Banquet. At the end of the semester there is a lot of very hairy students here on campus. It is almost like Europe.

I personally am not against the Hairy ’til January cause, I just do not quite understand it. Sometimes I wonder if the reasoning for both the male and female lack of shaving has more to do with laziness than anything else.
